We get the story of Cinderella in this episode. The opening scene has Cinderella being visited by her fairy godmother only to have Rumpelstiltskin destroy her. The visual is hilarious.
That's about the only thing that worked in the episode. Turns out Cinderella has also made a deal with Rumpelstiltskin. He gives her the dress and the shoes she needs to go to the ball. In return, he wants her first-born child.
In Storybrooke, we meet Cinderella who's a very pregnant maid. Emma takes pity on her.
Who cares? The plot isn't moving forward. All we're getting is re-imagining of classic fairy tales. Emma isn't driving the plot. And the Evil Queen isn't moving the story forward because her goal has already been achieved. She's won. No one realizes who they are.
The series isn't becoming more interesting, it's becoming ever-increasingly boring.
