This epic hour of 'Once Upon a Time' almost felt like a proper series finale, what with the many poignant flashbacks to pivotal moments in the major characters' lives and Regina's spell finally being broken. But this isn't the end for 'OUAT,' this was merely a mid-season finale that cleverly set the stage for a new tale of fantasy, heroism, and weirdness for 2014. Sure, this episode kinda rebooted the series (again), but that's not such a bad thing considering how dull several of the episodes have felt this year. Maybe shaking things up will breathe new life into the show. But before we start talking about the future, let's discuss this episode, 'Going Home,' a little more in depth.
Alice and Jafar worked through some major daddy issues on this week's episode of 'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.' 'Bad Blood' picked up right where the last episode left off, with Jafar kidnapping Alice's father and Alice still trying to reach Jafar's castle to save Cyrus. Little did Alice know that Cyrus had already escaped Jafar's castle, but more on that later. First, let's talk about Jafar's latest evil scheme.

Peter Pan's origin is revealed this week, and the story behind the villain's dark power is a truly sad and twisted tale. But that should come as no surprise to fans of 'Once Upon a Time'; we're used to things getting super dark (and super weird) right before the dawn, and 'Think Lovely Thoughts' was one of the darkest episodes of the season -- and not only because it featured a creepy voice-over cameo from Marilyn Manson.
For the second week in a row, 'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland' delivered a tragic origin story for one of its major villains. Last week, we learned all about Jafar's turn to the dark side, and this week we learned how the sweet and rosy-cheeked Anastasia became the power-hungry Red Queen in the episode titled 'Heart of Stone.'
It's a whole new world for fans of 'The Little Mermaid' with a live-action Ariel making her debut on the Nov. 3 episode of 'Once Upon a Time.'
