![]() But I think this was probably the last “this character is related to this character” twist that really surprised us. Probably because of the huge age difference, it’s easy to forget that Pan is immortal (but Rumple was too, so it got a bit confusing there). JC: This shouldn’t have been surprising since everyone is related to each other on this show, but this wasn’t one I saw coming. In a extremely unexpected way Graham was robbed out of the OUAT world and is missed ever since.Ģnd Place - Peter Pan is Rumple's father, Think Lovely Thoughts (3x08) I mean this is a show about fairytale characters, you simply just don't kill one. He finally remember everything, and then Regina CRUSHED HIS FREAKING HEART!!! I wasn't ready for it, and it's still one of the defining moments of the series for me. There was so much buildup of him getting some memories back, and I was kinda hoping for a Graham/Henry team-up to help Emma save everyone which would end up with Emma and Graham happily ever after. But I guess his only real purpose was being a plot device to create more animosity between Emma and Regina. I thought he would play a much bigger role in the show. JC: With so many minor characters, I did not think Graham would die first. What I didn’t expect is how many time they’d repeat this storyline. ![]() But it was pretty clear to me that the curse would be broken by Emma in the finale. Mainly because I already knew it would happen before watching it (thank you internet). JC: Honestly, this isn’t really a twist in my book. Season one just had so much gold!Ĥth Place - Emma's True love kiss breaks the Curse, A Land Without Magic (1x22) ![]() Plus his whole storyline with Emma was great. I think I actually may have forgotten that Pinocchio was Disney and therefore fair game, so I would never have guessed it. I had about 10 different theories lined up for who August could be, and never even thought to consider Pinocchio. JD: This twist caught me completely off-guard. JZ: I really enjoyed this twist because August was one of the most challenging character mysteries which had the audience scratching their heads for months! Was he the author? Rumple’s Son? Henry’s dad? Brothers Grimm? Turns out he was Pinocchio and while I didn’t believe that theory at first, looking back at it, it all makes sense with beautiful Easter eggs hidden throughout the series from the whale to his handy wood making/locksmith skills! Not only that, he was Emma’s first friend in the real world in scenes from their childhood that were beautiful but heartbreaking. I'm still holding out hope that this pair somehow got together.ĥth Place - August Reveal, The Stranger (1x20) I absolutely loved the risk they took with this, especially when we were in a bit of a less accepting time and I was so thrilled that there wasn't a ton of backlash for it. But then when we found out she was actually in love with Aurora, I was all for it and didn't care how Phillip would feel at all. I was getting some hard vibes that Mulan was actually in love with Phillip and was going to ruin things for Aurora, and I kinda didn't like her because of it. JD: This was definitely a game-changer, and made me realize a bit of a double standard I had. Nothing was really explored here, just one of this show’s many missed opportunities for an LGBT romance in the sea of straight couples. Unfortunately, that’s also were that storyline ended. But no, turns out Mulan had feelings for Aurora. JC: Here I was expecting a love triangle between Aurora, Philip, and Mulan with both girls fighting over the guy. They still remain one of my favorite pairings to date. Although the story ended in heartbreak and underutilized by the writers, I enjoyed the delicate reveal as well as Jamie Chung's acting throughout. ![]() Mulan was the first character to break this mold. JZ: This is a huge twist for the series because, for the most part, ABC hadn’t ventured too far from the canon of Disney Princesses with all of them ending up with their fairy tale beaus. It was simply terrifying and simultaneously beautiful moment as the reveal was shocking and celebrated the love between Snowing.Ħth Place - Mulan is in love with Aurora, Quite A Common Fairy (3x03) MK: This was really unexpected and while it was obvious it wasn't Zelena I would never imagine it to be Snow who crushed the heart of the thing she loves the most. To me the curse thing got worse as it went on, but I was still all for it at this point, and the intricacies will certainly stay with me long after the show ends. This might actually have been the last time I didn't throw my hands in the air when everyone lost their memories (minus this last season because I'm viewing it as more of a spin-off than a continuation). JD: Snow would literally have been my very last guess on who cast this second curse, though of course it all makes sense once we find out.
