Random stuff from episode 6x22 “The Final Battle: Part 2″

Top row is angst in the Enchanted Forest. Big pic in second row is a pseudo stabbing added here for the amusement of all ;) Third row is more angst over Gideon’s renewed efforts to kill her and the catch-22 Emma’s now in... and the last two rows are a little bit of his Happy Ending Beginning, because we can’t angst all the time, you know? Yes we can.

Shanghaied in episode 6x14 “Page 23″

Killian boards the Nautilus to let Nemo know he won’t be leaving with him and that he’s going to stay in Storybrooke and make things right with Emma and her family. Unfortunately, Gideon has other plans and sends the Nautilus - Killian in tow - off on its journey. Dig that crewman’s awesome “I’m being jostled” pose. I love exuberant extras.

Frozen for the big fight in episode 6x11 “Tougher Than the Rest”

As soon as Emma returns from the Wish Realm, Gideon springs his attack on her. When Hook and the others come running to her aid, he freezes them in place - forcing them all to stand there and watch as he tries to kill Emma. Thankfully, he fails in doing so, and a relieved (but still shaken) Killian races to Emma’s side and embraces her.

Freed by Tiger Lily in episode 6x17 “Awake”

Hook and Tiger Lily finally realize they’re both after the same basic thing - to get Hook back home and help Emma - and Tiger Lily frees him. The two of them work together to plot an attack on the Lost Boys’ camp, in the hopes of finding magic to defeat the spell keeping Killian from getting home.

Shanghaied in episode 6x15 “A Wondrous Place”

The atmosphere on the Nautilus is tense after Gideon sends the submarine off early and shoots it through a portal back to the Enchanted Forest. It should be no problem for the Nautilus to hop realms back... except Gideon’s used all of the kraken’s blood needed for the ship to jump realms.

This is the most thorough, logic-based exploration of options related to Once that I’ve seen in a long time. I am still laughing! (Also does all the damage done by Gideon count as baby whump? I mean, he was a baby and returned to baby, just took a weird whumpy detour.)

Hahaha, I’m so glad you enjoyed that post!

Deceiving Emma for Dave in episode 6x12 “Murder Most Foul”

Dave wants to steal some of Regina’s magic stuff from where it’s being kept in Emma and Killian’s garage for safe-keeping. He has Killian play lookout, so when Emma arrives back home unexpectedly, he’s stuck having to delay her from going into the garage to get some life jackets. He does so by revealing his difficulties dealing with her near-demise at Gideon’s hands. The feelings are true, of course, but his reasons for sharing them at that particular moment are disingenuous at best - and he doesn’t like what he’s had to do.
