Last episode of the rewatch! I’m so not ready to say goodbye to this.  

Why did Jafar’s eyes turn white but not Amara’s, I wonder.

He was gonna straight up kill Amara when she wasn’t looking!

Jafar went through all this so his father could love him all just to kill him straight afterwards. Just wow.

“You've done it my Lord. Your father is dead! No one shall ever question your powers again! Yes! Doesn't this please you my Lord?” Jafar: “Yeah. Yeah, it's great, it's great. I just thought it might make me feel less empty inside.”

They’ve peaced out. That’s what you get for being so dramatic, Jafar!

Can’t Amara heal Cyrus straight away?  

Run, Jabber!  

Uh oh, he’s not afraid of anything.  

Hey! Come on, now! Leave her alone!

I actually feel really sorry for her. She’s just gotta spend the rest of her presumably immortal life alone in the dark. I guess Jafar found out about her betrayal.

Cyrus is okay!  

Alice and Amara bonding is so sweet.

Oh, so she could see and hear when she was the snake staff.

Ana’s okay!

And of course Jafar only brought her back to play his sick games.

Same Will. This makes me sick. He’s got her under a love spell!  

Jafar doesn’t even have feelings for Ana. He just wants to get back at Will. He’s so extra omg.

Alice about Ana: “So we’re just going to give up on her!?” Bless Alice.  

But she’s not willing to risk losing Will forever either. Actual siblings.

Please don’t go to that freaking well! I’m not strong enough!

Go Alice, coming up with another clever plan!

Aww, Amara looks so happy about her son and Alice.  

Nice to know Amara approves of Cylice.

And some mother-son bonding!  

Holy crap! They came from nowhere!

Okay, this is epic!  

Go Alice!

Amara doesn’t mess about. That’s some powerful marrionetakinesis!

Oh no!

Alice went to straight up punch Jafar in the face lol.

Alice is so disturbed by Jafar and Ana making out. Freaking same! I’m so uncomfortable!

It seems Jafar has the power to change the past without physically going back in time. I wonder how that works, exactly.

You can’t make it so she never met Cyrus!

She would still have come to Wonderland, however.

Jafar: “You’ll be back in that awful place… England.” Hahahaha!!

Jafar, why are you like this. You’ve got what you wanted. Leave them alone! He wants to target each of them where it hurts most because he’s a little bitch.  

Get your hands off Alice!

Jafar: “Then perhaps you’re underestimating my power.” Alice: “No. You’re underestimating mine. The love that Cyrus and I have is more powerful than any magic.” I love that! She has such faith that their love will transcend any spell, even one that can change the past. I want to have faith in love like that and I will try to.

He’s seeking affection from Ana to reassure himself that he is loved but Alice is right, as long as he continues on this path, he will never know love.

Alice: “Real love... true love, cannot be destroyed. That is why you, Jafar, will never win.” You tell him, girl!  

Don’t tell him, Ana!  

That is a powerful love spell.

Oh Lord, please, not her! Not the Woman from the Well!!

Scarlet Queen tlk baby!!

Her spell is broken!

Lmao, Will walking right into the barrier. And Ana’s little laugh when he does that is adorabubble.

Crap! Almost didn’t look away in time!!

Why’s she gotta talk like that?  

Amara, please, you do not wanna live with that creepy ass woman forever!

I always thought she walked in. I forgot Jafar killed her, but she turned to water and that went in the well so now her and Nyx are roommates, and every time Amara takes too long in the shower, Nyx emerges from the plug hole and yells at her to “give me back me wataah.” And they’ve just gotta live like that for eternity. Amara screams every time she’s just chilling and that creepy ass monster crawls out of the floor. My worst nightmare.  

I have no idea what’s going on because I refuse to look at Nyx.

Don’t mess with her water Jafar! She’s very possessive about her water. I bet it’s sparkling and mango flavoured or something. There’s gotta be a reason she gets so angry about it getting taken.  

Alice: “You didn’t steal this water from me. You stole it from her.” Holy shiitake mushrooms!

Okay, gonna rewind because I don’t think Nyx was in that scene. God, I really hope she’s not.

Oh cool, Rabbit can use his portals to travel from place to place in Wonderland.

Omg! He freaking kicked Rabbit into the sky! Poor guy!  

Okay not looking again.

Yes! Jafar’s a genie. Good! But damn he was such a great villain.

Uh oh, everything Jafar did has been undone. I wonder why not everything that Amara did was undone. At least Cyrus is okay because nothing she did was.

Oh no, Ana!  

Give Will a freaking break! What a day he’s had.

Cyrus reunited with his brothers.

Will: “In the end she did the right thing, you know.” Alice: “Of course she did, ‘cause she loves you.” Supportive little sis is supportive.

Alice: “She (Nyx) said the Red Queen was meant to move on, but Anastasia, her path was meant to continue.” I like that. It was a symbolic death of the Red Queen but shown with a physical death.

It was nice of the Woman of the Well to give them some of her precious water. She’s still the most terrifying thing I’ve seen in my whole life, though.

She’s alive!

Scarlet Queen finally properly reunited!

Aww, her father actually looks happy for her.

Edwin: “And I want to thank you for proving to me that it was real.” Alice: “Wonderland?” Edwin: “Forgiveness.” And that’s what Wonderland is, a place of growth. Much like the characters in Into the Woods go into the woods and come out different but having learned valuable lessons, that’s what each of the characters from this show has done.  

I’m glad Alice and her father can move forward with their lives now. And I like to believe he becomes a good father to her.

Cylice wedding! Cylice wedding!

Such a pretty wedding and Alice looks beautiful in her dress.

I really like that dress. It’s gorgeous!  

And, of course, Rabbit is marrying them.

Aww, Alice’s little sister looks so happy. I hope they became close.

Will standing up to jokingly protest lmao!

For a second I thought I heard Jafar’s voice and nearly freaked out! Imagine Jafar just walking in, like, “Sorry I’m late.”

I’m going to die!! My babies are married!!

Anna’s so happy for them too!

Rabbit: “Many people have come and gone from Wonderland but only the most special ones discover what it’s truly about.” Alice: “Finding love.” Rabbit: “Finding yourself.” Gosh, I feel like I’ve been on such a journey with them.

Alice and Ana hugging. They’ve come so far!

Alice and Will looking back at each other and Alice running over to him to say goodbye again is my favourite thing ever. I have tears in my eyes! Their friendship is so beautiful!!  

There is so much unsaid in that hug. They’ve been through so much together.

Alice: “I just want to thank you so much for everything. Hold on to your heart this time, alright?” Will: “You hold onto yours.” This literally gives me chills. They care so much for each other. I adore Cylice and Scarlet Queen but my favourite relationship in this show will always be Alice and Will’s. Big bro and little sis forever.

I wonder how Will and Ana became the White King and Queen. Did they overthrow the original or was there never anyone in that position? I’m glad they restored Wonderland together.

Alice and Cyrus’ kid plays young Cruella as well.

Alice wrote Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland! Well, her own version. Awesome!

Look at their little family. Adorable!

Rabbit, please do not kidnap that child by leading her to Wonderland. She’s happy with her parents! Ah well, her Uncle Will and Auntie Ana will look after her.

I have loved this Wonderland adventure, as always. It is such an amazing and unique experience and I highly recommend watching if you haven’t already.  

And that’s it! I can’t believe it! I started this rewatch, beginning with the main show on April 6th 2019 and have written and posted my thoughts almost every weekend since. It’s been a wild ride and has been such a big and enjoyable part of my Saturday for over 3 years now. I’m gonna struggle to say goodbye to it. It’s felt like having someone really familiar to talk to and to express myself to. Thank you to everyone who’s interacted in any way with these rewatch posts over the years. I’ve loved seeing your input! I can’t believe it’s come to an end. I’m gonna really miss it but I’m glad I saw it all the way through. Ouat and Ouatiw will forever be amongst my favourite shows.

Next week or the week after, I’ll probably list my top 5 episodes of each season and Wonderland and then I’ll make a post linking all episode reactions.

1. OUaT was always best at concepts- wish it had been more of an American horror story show in general

2. To follow up on that, the writers did such a better job at creating their soft magic rules than the original show creating stakes as to why the villains couldn’t just kill to get what they want. (Granted this maybe because it was only one season but refer to point one).

3. Cylice is peak romance. I remember liking them but I forgot how much I liked their action girl and the only man who can calm her down with one touch dynamic.

4. They learned with their awful redemption arcs because Anastasia’s is way better than anything on the main show.
