Oh! Okay I thought I was on episode 6. Forgot about this one!

Listen, I love Tiana to bits but I’m not big on her centrics. I don’t find them very memorable, and they could have done so much more with them. I wish the frog had actually been Naveen. 

You know, I’m almost certain the frog wasn’t her Prince because they never intended to introduce Naveen. With her flirtatious relationship with Wish Hook/Rogers, I’m sure that was the road they intended to go down. And it would have been amazing! All that build-up. And the cut scene where they looked like they were flirting on a bench. I would do anything to see that! I think they made last-minute changes to their plans because fans were outspoken about not wanting any version of Hook with anyone but a version of Emma. Such a shame! Oh, well, Tiana and Wish Hook are married after the finale in my head and she’s a wonderful step mum to Alice. 

Tremaine and Gothel having a tea party!

Gothel is so creepy.

Sabine’s top is so pretty! 

How does Tiana know Drizella? Rich circles, I guess.

Drizella is so damn cruel.

I wanna try a beignet! 

I love the look of the symbol of the Coven of the Eight.

This is interesting. They’re putting a Princess in the position where she has to face those less well-off after she was upset about losing her expensive things. I guess it puts things into perspective for her. 

Facilier! 

They look delicious.

It must have been difficult adjusting to life as a human after being a frog.

Lol Victoria’s really enjoying that beignet.

Oh her father was a prince, not a king. That makes more sense. I thought they made him King because he won the war. 

Ivy reminds me so much of one of the tweevils from the Bratz cartoon series lol. She literally is Kirstee! Omg, I just found out their surname is actually ‘Tweevil’ xD.

Ivy must have put that photo in there but was it meant to wake up Henry or Regina. I’m guessing it wasn’t Henry because then the curse would break. So then, she somehow knew Regina would be the one to come. I’m not saying she was putting on that makeup before Regina turned up for Regina but I’m not saying she didn’t either. Got a crush, Ivy? That girl has such saphic energy. Love it!

Sabine and Lucy’s friendship is really adorable too!

Hey, don’t stab Tiana in the leg! Is she gonna be okay? 

Woah! Facilier’s magic looked really cool.

That frog is huge! Isn’t it a toad?

The frog twist lol.

Agfddrgffh! Sabine and Rogers interaction! It’s so cute! I love them so much! I’m so happy they’re married now.

Victoria is such a horrible mother to Drizella omg. Of course Drizella would have trouble adjusting to a different mother after being raised by Cecilia all those years. She was a child! Talk about holding a grudge! 

Woah! That was frightening! Gothel at it again, being a creeper.

Ivy: “What can I say, I’m a clever girl.” Gothel: “And a good one too. She may not see that, but I do.” Ivy can’t help but smile when Gothel says that. It means so much to her. Ivy, she is playing you! She knows you crave a mother’s love and she’s using that to manipulate you! 

Gothel: “My sweet Ivy.” She’s really going for it.

And here we find out Drizella was awake all along! 

I really enjoyed this episode. I loved all the aspects of The Princess and the Frog (beignet’s, Tiana’s father died fighting a war, friends on the other side, frogs, firefly, etc). I wasn’t the biggest fan of Tiana in the flashbacks, but now that she’s going to be saving her home herself and not looking for someone else to do it, I’m probably going to like her more. I thought Dr. Facilier was very good and I hope to see him again. I’m thinking that the friends on the other side is the Underworld since that’s where he said people go when they die. Prince Marius was okay. I think the most interesting thing about him was that he was actually a frog (or TLK turned him into a frog). I love Sabine and Jacinda’s friendship. It’s very natural and I love their dynamic and how they lean on each other. I hope their beignet business is successful. 

Roger’s found a clue toward’s finding his daughter. Some guy he questioned had a tattoo that was drawn in a journal that was in the case file. The guy said it was for protection so I’m guessing that it’s going to be a protection ward of sorts for Eloise/Killian’s daughter. One of the pictures in the journal was the view  from what appeared to be a tower window. Right know I’m half his daughter is Alice and half it’s Rapunzel. The guy happens to be in cahoots with someone who doesn’t want the girl found. No idea who that could be.
