Recap

Beneath the Underworld version of Storybrooke, Hook lies beaten and bloody. He wakes up and staggers to his feet, and starts to step out of the alcove that he's confined in. Another woman tells him not to move, warning that "he" wants Hook to think he escape but no one can. When Hook starts to step out anyway, the woman tells him to stop, saying that something other than Hades hunt the pirate down. He refuses to sit around, explaining that someone he loves has come to rescue him. Hook asks what is keeping there, and the woman says that it's someone he doesn't want to face...

Episode Quotes
Mary Margaret: Do I detect a hint of jealousy?
David: Oh, it's not every day that your wife tells you she was friends with a god.
Mary Margaret: A demi-god... who also happens to be dead.

Blind Witch: I know who Hercules is. He comes in here on his lunch break every day. And no matter how hard I try to fatten him up, his muscles are always bulging. It's a shame. He's make a great Sunday roast.

Cruella De Vil: Which is why I need a third choice... to go back to the real world. Oh, how I miss it. The music, the gin, the glamour... the gin.



Cultural References
Regina: Everything else in Bizarro Storybrooke has an analog so far.

Bizarro is a twisted Superman duplicate in the DC comics, who comes from a cube-shaped world, Bizarro-Earth.
