Once Upon a Time - Our Decay

“Once Upon a Time” feels stuck in a rut telling new versions of the same stories over and over again. When Zelena (Rebecca Mader), her baby, and are brought to the Underworld characters immediately fall into old habits.

Even Zelena’s small growth over the course of the episode is eventually wiped away.
