Destined To Be Bad To The Bone
#OnceUponATime
I just got done watching this week’s
#OnceUponATime that was all about Lily. Lily? Lily who? Lilith or
Lillith (haven’t checked the spelling for that) was apparently the
long-lost daughter of Maleficent. Just a few weeks ago, it was
revealed that Maleficent’s egg—er... daughter was sent to our
world because she was destined to be evil. And like all things evil
she was doomed to the land of many lakes, Minnesota (there goes my
fanbase in Minnesota). So, what then happened when Emma the savior
and Regina the reformed Evil Queen got their Thelma and Louise on to
go find her? Flashbacks galore and a gun to the face.
After last week’s turn to the dark
side where Emma killed Cruella Dev Il, she felt that she needed to
clear her conscience of the horror of betraying her savior complex.
Good isn’t supposed to kill (somebody tell the Man of Steel that)
to defeat evil. And after learning that her half-sister the wicked
witch of the west was actually posing as maid Marian (surprise! The
black chick has actually been an evil white/green woman the whole
time) and had Robin Hood at her side, Regina thought it only right to
finally leave Storybrooke and venture out to New York to save him
(#OnHerTammyWynette #StandingByHerMan). And since Emma was the one
who had been to the Big Apple before, she took advantage of having a
personal guide to the city.
Their first stop was to find Lily, who
Emma discovered she actually knew growing up. Lily was a girl that
she met in her youth—and earlier in the season I think—who stole
and did bad things. Being Maleficent’s daughter, she was destined
for evil... literally. Emma credited her through a series of
flashbacks for ruining her chance to grow up with a good family.
After being led to believe she was
dead, they found Lily living under an assumed name and working at a
diner with no family or life to really speak of. But everything
turned totes-ma-goats crazy when Regina and Emma went to Lily’s
house and discovered that she knew all about Storybrooke, her mother
Maleficent, and Snow White and Prince Charming. What was most
interesting was how she found this stuff out. The sorcerer’s
apprentice told her these things. The question is why
(#WhatsTheSorcererDoing).
This led to a confrontation after a
brief car chase where Emma threatened to shoot Lily and kill her
because the girl wanted revenge (I almost thought Amanda Clark was
going to pop out from somewhere). Of all the voices of reason, Regina
was the one to talk Emma off the ledge.
They made their few apologies and
understood each other before going to New York and confronting the
wicked witch and Robin Hood.
Outside of the main story and the
cutesy little winks to the audience concerning the costuming of the
characters (I see what you did there OUAT; blonde Maleficent gives
birth to a brunette and Brunette/Black-haired Snow White is the
mother of the benevolent blonde), there was a small side story with
Belle and Mr. Gold where he gave her her heart back that Regina had
taken and she had some strong feelings coming back concerning him.
The biggest and best twist was when
Regina and Emma got to Robin Hood’s place and outed Selena. Instead
of leaving with them, Robin couldn’t make a decision because she is
carrying his baby. I know, mind blown! This leaves us with a bevy of
questions, the most important one being #WhatColorWillTheBabyBe?
So, what do you think readers and
viewers out there? Did you like the episode? What powers do you think
Lily will have? Do you think she’ll be able to shape-shift like her
mother? Will she continue to be destined for evil? What the heck is
the Sorcerer’s apprentice doing? Is the Wicked Witch’s child
going to be a pale olive green. As always, I look forward to reading

invented facebook.
P.S. Ok, that was from The Social
Network. I know I am very off on that and it’s probably not even a
direct quote, but that’s only because I definitely feel like I
invented Facebook...which I don’t even use. Well all of this is
just silliness, isn’t it? I’ll get that sign-off thing sooner or
later, promise.
