S7:E11 Secret Garden

“Robin seeks guidance from a dangerous source.”
Airdate: March 2, 2018

We haven’t yet seen Cursed Realm Robin, have we? KellyZelena said she’s at a “foam party in Phuket.”
Robin is a witch? Lol no, it’s The Craft cosplay. In Regina’s vault no less.
Not nice, Robin.

Remember, this is altHook. The show has given up on characterizing altHook any differently than the familiar primeHook.
Doctor Strange portal. And that was totally Madame Leota in the opening montage.
I don’t believe in the no-win scenario.

Pulled up by her arms like that will be excruciating. Probably dislocate the shoulders.
Zelena vs Gothel in the amazing hair-off.
“Dirty hippie witch bitch”
What is the Resurrection Amulet?
The spell summons Mother Nature. Could have just tried fake butter.

“Nook”
She was seduced by the dark side…
“The truth is a complicated companion.”
“Doctor Sage” seems familiar?
Great shot, kid!
The bar used to be Kelly’s before it was Roni’s.
“Woodland home of a couple of swirly chipmunks”
The invisible witch shop is pretty neat.
It is Madame Leota!! Chilling challenge!
“Mother knows best”
BelfreyRapunzel really tried to appeal to IvyDrizella at this point. After a lifetime of pushing her away. Nah.
Another Doctor Strange reference.
Apollo bar!
altHook has a knack for inspiring speeches.
“Kelly & Roni’s Pub”
How did the Resurrection Amulet come to be embedded in the pub sign? Everything here was done by the Curse. Maybe this is Regina’s failsafe.
Most of this stuff was in Gold’s shop. That’s his old cash register.
Oh good, a pentagram on the floor. That always ends well.
Robin doesn’t realize she’s the sacrifice. Oops!
“I know what you’re thinking, did she shoot six arrows or only five?”
I think “Sanctuary” used this same greenhouse.
(Dearie)
The Beyonce/Blue Ivy/Jay-Z stuff was cute.
How Zelena Got Her Groove Back
Do we believe Victoria sacrificing herself? No, we don’t.
Huh, okay, that’s surprising. Did not expect BelfreyRapunzel to be killed off.
Nick, not a match. Henry, confirmed parent. Of course.
Doctor Sage was poisoned?!

“Tiana confronts Facilier on the day of her coronation.”
Airdate: March 9, 2018

(There’s a Weeping Angel in the background)
Henry is doing a podcast.
Sabine is going to run the food truck by herself? That’s a recipe for really long lines.
Regina and Facilier have some history?
H-Town has those five-star reviews! Smash that like and subscribe.
One of the reviews is titled “So many ships, so little time!” 😂

“I will get to your story in an upcoming episode, Remy.”
Prince Naveen. Okay.
Two Cajun trucks in one food truck meet.
“The voodoo witch doctor with the ridiculous hat!”
Regina scheming with Zelena is the best part of season 7.
Why would breaking the curse cause Henry’s magical poison to activate? A broken curse doesn’t send them back to the magical realm, it just lets them remember their past. Henry will remember being poisoned but there’s still (almost) no magic here to make the poison work.
Hilda, the blind baker. Perhaps the Hansel and Gretel witch? Different actress though.
She has the coven tattoo!
Did Sabine ever get a license and permit for her truck?
Ah, Mr. Samdi. The silent partner.
It’s funny how this scene is Tiana and Naveen but it’s blocked and set like Ariel and Eric. (Kiss the girl!)
The Roni/Kelly switch is a test. Did he pass or fail?
Mixtape!
This reminds me of a terrible, awful movie called Lake Placid.
No, you can’t just transfer a food safety permit like that.
The gator swallowed a bauble. Just like the croc swallowed a watch.

“Someone’s killing witches.” “Well pour some sugar on me.” 💀
Something is in Lucy’s closet. Did she line up the plush animals?

I think Regina knows something about the necklace.
Okay… Shocking twist. Regina’s dalliance with Facilier must have been back when she was Evil, so pre-Robin.
