Once Upon a Time - Dark Waters

While the Aladdin (Deniz Akdeniz) storyline gets pushed to one of the episode’s subplots, “Dark Waters” picks up a thread of Hook’s (Colin O’Donoghue) past as the pirate confronts the appearance of Captain Nemo (Faran Tahir) and the Nautilus in both the present and in flashbacks. Tying in the theme of the Evil Queen‘s (Lana Parrilla) attempts to sow dissension among the heroes, the villain reveals Hook’s refusal to destroy the shears to Henry. Bringing the kid’s resentment to the pirate’s growing role in his family, the pair eventually come to an understanding as Henry helps Hook deal with one of his biggest regrets which has coming calling.

Lucifer - The Weaponizer

Lucifer‘s Second Season takes a dark turn with the arrival of Lucifer’s brother Uriel (Michael Imperioli). Given his power to see and change patterns to fit his desired outcome, the angel arranges for Chloe‘s (Lauren German) car crash to get his brother’s attention. Uriel’s powers are actually quite fascinating, and I’m curious to see what else God’s other children might be able to do. Giving Lucifer an ultimatum of 24 hours, Lucifer must either turn over his Mum (Tricia Helfer) to his brother or watch Chloe die. As usual, Lucifer finds a third option out of his problem, but the choices he makes at the end of the episode are likely to haunt the character for some time to come.

Once Upon a Time - Street Rats

Once the Oracle turns up dead Jasmine (Karen David) is forced to reveal herself to Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and her family beginning a search for Aladdin (Deniz Akdeniz) and revealing the secret Emma has been keeping concerning her visions of the future. While the heroes of Storybrooke search for the lost Savior in the present the episode offers us flashbacks to Aladdin’s first meeting with Jasmine, their journey to the Cave of Wonders, and Aladdin’s first step on the road to becoming the Savior of Agrabah. Although Aladdin is eventually found, his method for avoiding the fate of all Saviors isn’t one Emma wants any part of if it would lead to Storybrooke facing the same fate of Aladdin and Jasmine’s home.

Lucifer - Lady Parts

The murder of two young women at an underground sex party leads to both a boys and girl’s night out as Chloe (Lauren German), Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt), Ella (Aimee Garcia), and Linda (Rachael Harris) attempt to retrace the dead women’s steps which led to them getting poisoned and Lucifer (Tom Ellis), Detective Douche (Kevin Alejandro), and Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) all hit-up the secret sex club looking for a killer. Although it means that Lucifer and Chloe spend a little more time apart than usual, the concept of the episode does allow for Chloe to finally let her guard down and blow off some steam (and possibly find a new roommate).

Once Upon a Time - Strange Case

Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Henry (Jared Gilmore) return to school as Once Upon a Time concludes the Dr. Jekyll (Hank Harris) and Mr. Hyde (Sam Witwer) storyline and teases the start of Aladdin by introducing Galavant‘s Karen David as Snow’s new teaching assistant (who just so happens to also be Disney Princess). I’m not surprised by how Hyde and Jekyll exit the show, although it happens much quicker than I expected. As for Jasmine, we don’t see any flashbacks to her previous life, but from her conversations with Snow it appears she didn’t leave Agrabah under the best circumstances.
