We get the backstory on how Snow White met Prince Charming. She steals from the Queen and hides out in the woods. He's on the way to an arranged marriage.
This dovetails into our present story where the Prince is in a coma. Henry gets Snow to read to him. He's revived and staggers off into the woods.
They get him back to the hospital where the Queen awaits with...the Prince's wife.
The episode ends with Emma moving in with Snow.
How are we supposed to relate to this series? If it's about the search for true love, that theme isn't being hit hard enough. If it's about the strength of family, they're not doing a good job of making us feel that.
The fairy tales should be used to convey a deeper message. Instead, the fairy tales simply...exist and we're supposed to buy in.
The show is a misfire. It needs to be retooled in a hurry.
