"Once Upon A Time" Season 3 ABC: Episode 8 "Think Lovely Thoughts" Recap
During Episode 8, "Think Lovely Thoughts" viewers were taken back by a surprise that no one saw coming. A surprise that not only changed Neverland for forever, but maybe even Storybrooke. "Once Upon A Time" started last night as Emma, Rumpel, The Evil Queen, Charming, and the rest of the group were heading into Pan's camp to rescue Henry. As Regina puts a sleeping spell over the lost boys, they realize that Henry and Pan are already gone. Right before they are about to leave, Wendy begans to yell 'help', in hopes that they would set her free. As Neil and her talk about their past and where Henry has been taken to, Rumpel believes that she is lying. Neil asks, "Is This True, are you lying about where Henry is?", when Wendy urges that the only reason why she is hiding the truth is because of her brothers. As the Evil Queen reassures her that her brothers are safe, Wendy tells them that they have gone to skull island to save magic for forever. Yet, if Henry helps Pan there is a price to pay. Pan will become immortal, and Henry will die.
Episode 8, "Think Lovely Thoughts" begins to get a little weird around ths point. Everyone is scared for Henry's life, but Rumpel seems to know a secret that he isn't admitting to anyone. Neil, Emma, Regina, and Rumpel paddle out to Skull Island in hopes of getting there before it's too late. Pan and Henry have finally arrived as he puts a protection spell over the entrance to the island. Pan leads Henry to the hour-glass where it transports him back to his childhood. This is the shocker. Pan's childhood isn't actually a childhood, but more of a adulthood. The hourglass transports him back to a town where it shows a child Rumpel begging for his father to stop gambling, and to escape to a new world where no one knows their names. In agreeance, Rumpel and his father jump into a portal that becomes Neverland. His father, desperate to fly, climbs up the fairy dust tree where he meets Pan's shadow. They make a deal with eachother and as Rumpel's father climbs down, he is made into a boy and Rumple is taken from him.
Back to Skull Island, Pan tell's Henry that he needs his heart in order for magic to be restored. He needs the heart of the truest believer to make magic stay alive within all the lands. Yet, before they accomplish the deed, Pan must finish something first. Rumple is able to pass the protection spell line when he assures the group that he is what Pan wants. As Pan and Rumple come face to face, we learn that Peter Pan is Rumpel's father and that he betrayed Rumpel for everlasting youth. As Rumpel trys to capture Pan in Pandora's box, Pan unveils that he has the real Pandora box and in turn captures Rumpel. Episode 8, "Lovely Thoughts" ends with Peter tricking Henry into giving up his heart to save magic. Henry pulls out his heart as Regina, Neil, and Emma try to change his mind but it is too late. Henry pushes his heart into Pan's chest and he fall's to ground dead, while Pan glows with immortality.
