This episode wasn't one of my favorite when it aired, but the flashback story is kind of cool. This episode goes into how Snow White and Prince Charming first met, and creates a history between them.
Quote of the episode: Emma Swan: "Not having a happy ending is painful enough, but giving someone unrealistic hope is far worse."
In Storybrooke, Henry convinces Mary Margaret to read "their story" to a coma patient whom Henry believes is Prince Charming. Mary Margaret reads his story and he wakes up. And escapes to the woods, which has Emma, Mary Margaret, and Graham the town sheriff off tracking him. They find him and get him back to the hospital at which point Regina is there waiting. She informs him that his name is David Nola, and that she found his wife. Keep in mind this is a curse Regina cast to ruin everyone's happiness. That's three blows to Snow/Mary Margaret, first she doesn't even know who he is, next he is in a coma, lastly he is married to a woman named Kathryn. Emma picks up that something wasn't right and confronts Regina.
In the flashback, you see that Charming and Snow meet by her hijacking and stealing from his carriage while he is on a journey with his fiance Abigial (Kathryn in Storybrooke). Bascially the whole episode is them finding and saving eachother. Which in turn codes their motto "I will always find you" which is said between the two of them numerous times throughout the series.
So overall, pretty slow episode.Was interesting how the writers came up with this story on how these iconic characters met; during Snow White's time as a bandit.
