YMMV / Once Upon a Time S1 E13 "What Happened to Frederick"

• Alternate Character Interpretation: Mary Margaret gets all of the blame from the affair. Is this part of the Dark Curse, where Regina's magic tweaks things so that everyone would automatically give her all the blame? Or is it because they think Mary Margaret took advantage of a coma patient?
• Genius Bonus:
  • The presence of a Siren in the Enchanted Forest ties in quite well with the theme of the episode. The expression 'siren song' refers to something that seems appealing but will only lead to disaster. In the Enchanted Forest, the siren song would be giving into the seduction (and getting drowned because of it) - while in Storybrooke the siren song is David lying to Kathryn about why they're splitting up. In the Enchanted Forest, he overcomes it while in Storybrooke he gives into temptation.
  • The lake's name, Nostos, is Ancient Greek for "homecoming" (and is the root word of "nostalgia")—all quite appropriate for a magical place that can return what was lost. In addition, one of the most famous instances in Greek mythology of the theme of the same name (usually meaning a return to home by water) was in The Odyssey, which is the source of the Siren myth.
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Princess Abigail had been just a Disposable Fiancée before. Here, she admits she doesn't want the wedding either and helps David as best she can.
• Rewatch Bonus: August's "I never lie" provides subtle Foreshadowing to the fact that he's really Pinocchio.
