82. The Choices That Make Heroes…and Villains | OUAT S4E12

from Storybrooke Circus: A Once Upon A Time Podcast · host Mackee

On this episode of Storybrooke Circus, we'll be discussing Once Upon a Time Season 4 Episode 12. The town that just survived an ice apocalypse is now pretending that counts as progress, Regina realizes her version of a happy ending might require letting it go - specifically the part where she gets Robin - while Hook discovers that being magically tethered to Gold comes with some pretty aggressive fine print. Gold, meanwhile, is fully committed to choosing power over love and literally everything else, which goes about as well as you’d expect once Belle starts asking questions and Emma starts connecting dots. Elsewhere, back in a slightly more doomed version of the past (because nothing says romance like light emotional manipulation), Belle’s attempt at domestic curiosity spirals into a hostage situation that introduces a very coordinated trio of villains, forcing Rumplestiltskin to choose between power and the one thing he absolutely insists he doesn’t care about, which of course tells you everything you need to know.S4E12: Heroes and VillainsLinks:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠fanlist.com/thesbcpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Have something to say?
