#OUaTrevisit: S7:E7/8

This will be posted to my Mastodon account; don’t forget to read my fellow Revisitors Katie’s and Cindy’s posts too!

I’m late, I’m late! Just in time to (re)-enter Wonderland, I’m channeling the always-delayed White Rabbit by posting my #OUaTrevisit piece a day late.

This week: We find Eloise. We find Alice. We find Jack. We’re doing the very slow plot reveal. We’re getting drawn in despite ourselves.

S7:E7 Eloise Gardener

“Hook seeks a dark and powerful magic.”
Airdate: November 17, 2017

• (That’s altHook, remember, not primeHook.)
• Smee!
• Ah we’re seeing how EQ failed to cast her curse in Wish Realm.
• Lana’s outfit in this scene ❤️🔥
• “The tower is guarded by an evil witch”… Could that witch be who Victoria has in her Belfrey?
• I don’t really care about the argument between altHook and WeaverRumple.
• The food truck, that isn’t a food truck.
• “I was thinking” (dangerous pastime) (I know)
• Ivy’s threat is ominous but nonspecific.
• The closed captioning just named Victoria’s captive “Eloise”. Which was unexpected.
• altHook is looking for a “girl”. The timeline doesn’t match up.
• “Today is indeed a good day!”
• I think this is the same tower where later Regina was training Drizella.
• Ah, of course it’s Rapunzel. With her frying pan.
• TillyAlice has a Mickey Mouse watch.
• Dirt on the shoes. Dead giveaway.
• Eyeroll at Victoria’s sniffy threats.
• Wrong song?
• “You don’t have children, that you know of.”
• Does Victoria think she cast the curse?
• Ugh, I don’t like what Roni is doing here. IvyDrizella’s threat must be really bad.
• Get on with it!
• “Abandoning people just isn’t my thing.”
• Ah. Hmm. Perhaps this isn’t Rapunzel after all, but the imprisoned witch?
• The Evil Dark Dagger of Evil Darkness is in the evidence locker.
• He doesn’t have a warrant for the code.
• Huh. Gothel was in the tower, trapped by Rapunzel. Why was she named Eloise earlier? I am confused.
• [Magical whooshing]
• Still confused.
• This is all a setup, obviously. But on who?
• Pirates playing dice with EQ!
• AliceTilly is the daughter. EloiseGothel is the mom. altHook is the dad. Got it.
• “Officers, may I have a minute?” No, you may not.
• Miss Scarlet, with the business card, in the office.

S7:E8 Pretty in Blue

“Henry and Ella follow Alice into Wonderland.”
Airdate: November 17, 2017

• Training montage!
• “And other places”
• Maybe don’t trust her right away?
• His heart is poisoned? Since when?
• Many such journeys are possible. Let me be your gateway.
• “Mecker House”
• Who are we talking about here, who’s the dangerous law school graduate?
• Oh, here comes Ivy when Henry is down and out.
• “Have you ever considered making your blog into a podcast,” asked 2017.
• Danger Cake of Danger.
• “Bizarre Love Triangle”, the best is Temptation, of course.
• Caught in an Ewok trap! Han, can you reach my lightsaber?
• Don’t land on the sword!
• “You ever think you’re a bit naive, Henry?” That’s kind of Henry’s entire thing.
• “A classic Kathryn Nolan situation.”
• Mister Worm, can you help me enter the labyrinth? No, I’m just a worm.
• How long until the Drink Me potion regenerates?
• Good dress!
• “He’s out being a shady, treacherous bastard somewhere.”
• Roni’s shirt of the day: “Kid for rent cheap”
• Wait, why is Eloise back in the machine room?
• “Walrus and Company”
• Something is up with Nick. And the so-called missing document.
• There’s a Star Wars backpack at the tea party.
• Slain by the Jabberwocky.
• This is the first we’re hearing of the Curse of the Poisoned Heart, is it not?
• (Still not a food truck)
• Ah, that’s why there’s no court order. Rough.
• Roni tends to be her best customer these days.
• “You’re always awake.”
• He’s not admitting it. And you can see he’s struggling.
• Can’t believe Henry pulled out the “slimy no-good swindler” line!
• Four beers in.
• “Someone Victoria Belfrey pushed out” and we’re being obtuse with the pronouns. Who are we going to see in SF?
• Remy. The caterer. Of course.
• A mix tape! She made him a mix tape.
• The coffin is empty. Surprise!
