Once Upon a Time - Devil's Due

The adventures in the Underworld continue as Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle) enlists the help of Milah (Rachel Shelley) to help find and rescue Hook (Colin O’Donoghue). Despite the uncomfortable awkardness of Milah working both with her former husband and Emma (Jennifer Morrison), a woman who has slept with both her former lover and her son, the unlikely allies are successful in freeing the pirate from Hades (Greg Germann)… at least until the lord of the Underworld decides to make a deal with the Dark One.

Once Upon a Time - Labor of Love

While stumbling around a very Storybooke-esque version of the Underworld in their search for Hook (Colin O’Donoghue), who is now a captive of Hades (Greg Germann) and being guarded by the three-headed Cerberus, Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) will seek out the help of an old friend who has unfinished business with the creature. Offering us flashbacks to the young Snow’s (Bailee Madison) first encounter with Hercules (Jonathan Whitesell) we see the crucial role the demigod performed in putting the young princess on a path to becoming a hero – a service Snow reciprocates here by helping the fallen warrior complete his final labor and move on to Olympus.

Lucifer - Wingman

“Wingman” is comprised of two separate stories. The episode gets its name from the investigation into the theft of Lucifer‘s (Tom Ellis) wings, but a large portion of the episode is devoted to Detective Decker‘s (Lauren German) ongoing investigation into a dirty cop at death’s door. With the help of both Decker and Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside), Lucifer eventually tracks down his wings to the owner of a shady black market who sells religious artifacts at private auctions. Meanwhile, working on something Lucifer said, Decker works alongside Dan (Kevin Alejandro) to make her first big break in the case that has made her a pariah within her own department.

Lucifer - Favorite Son

Detective Decker‘s (Lauren German) investigation into the theft of a cargo container holds little interest for Lucifer (Tom Ellis) until he discovers it is his property which has gone missing. While evading questions about what was stolen (the truth of which we will only learn in the final scene where the container, but not its precious cargo, is recovered), Lucifer begins his first case as an official consultant for the LAPD. The mystery of Lucifer’s “stuff” is well-handled, as is his growing unease and the return of a more scary and vengeful Devil over the course of the investigation.
