This is Jiminy Cricket’s episode everybody. If that sounds like something you would enjoy then give a little whistle and continue on reading this recap :D. The sheriff makes Emma a deputy and all hell breaks loose. More specifically, the ground shakes and a sinkhole appears. She’s changing things and Henry is thrilled. Regina isn’t so thrilled that Henry is still believing what she calls his delusions.
When Regina wants to pave over the sinkhole, he accuses her of hiding something. Regina takes out her anger on Archie, his psychiatrist for not doing his job and encouraging Henry’s imagination. Regina threatens to ruin him unless he tells Henry to snap out of it. Basically, she wants him to start doing his job her way. Archie is quite the spineless being (I mean, really, how big of a spine do grasshoppers have?) and does what she says. He tells Henry to grow up to the point of Henry bursting into tears. Henry runs away to go explore down the sinkhole to prove he isn’t crazy.
In Fairy Tale Land, Jiminy is trapped working for his greedy thieving parents. Jiminy (Archie) doesn’t want to steal anymore and just wants to be a good person because his conscience tells him so. Jiminy makes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to be free of his parents. He gives him a potion to take care of it. While on their latest plot to steal from an innocent family, his parents switch the bottles and Jiminy actually poisons the parents of a young child and turns them into wooden dolls. The young child is a young Gepetto. Jiminy wishes to the Blue Fairy to be turned into a cricket and help Gepetto from then on. Crickets are scary looking.
Archie tries to help find Henry in the mine and I am loving the easter eggs in this scene. An Apollo candy bar and a dalmatian named Pongo? Amazing. Archie ends up getting trapped underground with Henry while Emma has to put her differences aside to work with Regina to rescue them both. The two of them discover an old elevator just as Emma is being lowered down. She manages to grab Henry before the elevator falls and Archie hangs on by his umbrella. His UMBRELLA. I love it! The elevator crashes to the bottom on top of the shiny something that Henry couldn’t see. Regina knows it’s there. What is it? From what I gathered, it’s either Snow White’s glass coffin or the Queen’s magic mirror. Either way, it’s in pieces now.
Snow White/Mary is still working at the hospital, playing Hangman with Charming and taking leisurely strolls with him. Too bad he’s a married man. That’s what they’re both thinking. He tells Mary that none of his life makes sense to him but her. Aww. They’re so sweet! But she refuses to be The Other Woman and resigns from working at the hospital. I love them together. It’s like a really good, never ending chick flick.
Terra Nova gets back to focusing on the mystery of the show that fans have been craving. I prefer episodes like these and feel more of these would help the ratings instead of monsters of the week. Taylor is focused on locating the spy in the colony that has been feeding information to the Sixers.
Boylan is being kept for interrogation but he’s not getting any answers. Jim has better luck. Boylan leads him to a body that was buried and murdered 5 years ago. The Shannons are stumped because this body didn’t come on any scheduled pilgrimage.
Boyland says Taylor killed the guy and he had to help him bury it. They try to hide the discovery of the body from Taylor but Malcolm snitches. What a weiner. Jim pieces together that the body is that of Taylor’s commanding officer who was probably coming here to relieve Taylor of his duties and make him step down as leader of Terra Nova. Meanwhile, Taylor and Malcolm discover that The Sixers have been using a prehistoric dragon fly to communicate like a carrier pigeon following a sound. They follow the bug back to it’s master and it leads them to Jim’s house.
Taylor arrests Jim and accuses him of being the spy. Jim is pissed that Taylor suspects him for a second and believes he’s actually angry that Jim won’t stop investigating him. Taylor opens up about what really went down between him and his son. His son was working on a way to make the portal a two way street so that the “bad guys” could come destroy Terra Nova. The “people” who sent the commanding officer sent the Sixers. There are “bigger people at play here.” Who?? What does that mean? Taylor made his son leave Terra Nova to fend for himself after he killed the commanding officer before he could kill him. He lets Jim go because he knows he’s not the spy. So who is? And who sent the Sixers? And why?
This was 100% one of the best episodes of Hawaii Five-0 to date. It had suspense, action, and the most important thing, the intense bromance that could only be described as true love between Steve and Danny. Jenna is back to beg Steve for help rescuing her fiance from North Korea. Steve is amazing and of course agrees to help her. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know that Jenna can’t be trusted.
While investigating a murder back home, the gang realize that Jenna is involved and lying about the fact she’s been in Hawaii all this time.
Danny’s concern and worry for Steve is beautiful. Everyone else is trying to get stuff done but his eyes say it all. He misses his boo. Jenna and Steve are walking through the woods when a wild Wo Fat appears to knock Steve’s lights out when Jenna turns her gun on him. Ugh. Even in the jungle Wo Fat has his suave black shirt on. It can’t really compare to the black tee Danny is sporting in North Korea. He goes to Joe for help rescuing Steve. He puts a group together and the gang makes their way to North Korea.
Steve is put in a separate room to be tortured and Jenna is led to her fiance. Or rather, her fiance’s dead body. Jenna locks the door before they can kill her and digs into her man’s knee for a pin he must have had put in there. Jenna is able to make a sad call to Danny to try and help them find their location. They grab her and shackle her up next to Steve. Steve is being used as a punching bag and electrocuted occasionally until he gives Wo Fat the information he’s looking for. Wo Fat is demanding to know about what his father was investigating and why Joe knows. It looks like Wo Fat has no idea and he’s a bit jealous. Jealousy is an ugly color on you bro. Jenna slips Steve the pin before she can be seen. Wo Fat takes out his frustration on Jenna and kills her. 🙁 Aww. Poor Jenna. I was just starting to like you.
Steve escapes for about two seconds before Wo Fat and his goons catch up with him. They take him and leave. Danny, Chin and Joe go in to the building guns blazing to find that they’re no longer there. Before they can escape, Lori blows up the only bridge out of there. Nice shot. They attack the convoy of trucks they’re in and are able to rescue Steve. Wo Fat escapes like a rat into the jungle somewhere. Danny is so happy to see his bff and Lori actually hugs him. I guess those two are going to happen. I prefer McDanno. I kind of wish Steve had suggested they all go back for Jenna’s body but it never happened. It just seemed like something Steve would do.
All in all, an amazing episode.
Best Quotes of the Night:
Steve: Don’t worry Danny, I’ll think about you the whole time.
Chin: I’m getting married!
Danny: Don’t do it!
It’s a LOST reunion on this week’s episode of Person of Interest that guest stars Alan Dale. My only regret is that he only has one scene with Michael Emerson and there is no exchange. In happier news, the bromantical tension on this show is reaching new heights. It’s almost caught up with Hawaii Five-0.
The latest person of interest (Alan Dale) doesn’t seem like much of a victim. He has connections to The Cold War and a history of being a spy. Nowadays, he’s hunting down the members of his team that betrayed him, interrogating, torturing, and killing them one by one. He wants revenge because he believes they are responsible for the death of his wife.
He gets a shock when he discovers his wife is alive and lied to him to get away from him and come to America. He is now after her and Reese wants to stop him before it’s too late. LOL at the scene that follows. He takes a giant gun out of the trunk and makes Finch’s eyes pop. I love them together. Unfortunately, when he finds our POI, he’s no match for him and ends up tied to a chair and tortured. Poor Reese :(. But he holds out until the man discovers he’s had a daughter all these years.
He abducts her at her school and demands his wife come to see him. Everyone is in the park for a rendezvous and Reese shoots him before he can shoot any of the girls. He was never going to harm them and it seems Reese is the reason the man’s number came up.
First things first. Puck is in love with Shelby. I am surprisingly not as creeped out by this as I probably should be. Maybe it’s because I know Mark isn’t 18 in real life. Maybe it’s because Puck is hilarious and adorable when he’s in love with someone and not doing it for money by the pool.
His newfound love for his teacher results in a Hot For Teacher mashup. It sets the tone for a night full of mashups. My favorite! Puck tells Shelby the truth about what Quinn has done and what she’s been up to. When Quinn shows up to her house again, Shelby lets her have it. It’s beautiful.
Will and Shelby want to focus the divided glee clubs on performing instead of bullying. They propose a mash-off competition while singing a You and I mash-up. I’d be more worried about the bullying going on in this school. It’s clearly still not under control. Santana is a raging bitch and bully and her targets this week are Finn and poor Rory. Finn challenges her to a game of dodgeball and everyone sings Hit Me With Your Best Shot/One Way Or Another. She probably thinks Finn is used to it but what did Rory do to deserve being hit so many times with a dodgeball that he starts to bleed? Just because he’s Irish? That’s ridiculous. Why is she never getting called out on how she’s acting? More on that later.
Rachel asks Shelby for a recommendation for NYADA and realizes she has a better chance than Kurt at getting in. During the presidential debate after Brittany is done being an idiot, Kurt talks about his platform and is the only serious contender. Rachel is next and withdraws, telling the entire class to vote for him. Yay! They’re friends again. Spin off <3.
The New Directions give a salute to old guys who always stick together and perform I Can’t Go For That and You Make My Dreams Come True as their competition song. Finn is so great in this scene. Santana goes up to Finn in the hallway to apologize and just ends up insulting him more. It’s obvious she doesn’t regret a thing. Rory tries to defend him (I love their bromance!) but she just starts in on him as well. She gets so horrible that Finn snaps and tells her she’s just a coward lashing out at everyone else because she’s too afraid to come out of the closet.
He wasn’t yelling it or anything but his reply to her was loud enough that someone else heard it. The info is leaked to Sue’s political campaign as a reason not to vote for Sue because she accepts Santana as a lesbian. Santana is crushed because her family doesn’t know yet. During their Adele mash-up (which is amazing by the way) Santana loses it and slaps the crap out of Finn. If I didn’t dislike Santana so much, that slap would be pretty amazing. What Finn did was wrong but Santana’s actions shouldn’t be excused. I recall her threatening to out Karofsky as well. That doesn’t mean she deserved to be outed but she needs to understand that she can’t bully people the way she does. It’s not “fierce” and it’s not funny the way her bullying is glamorized just because she’s Santana. Wasn’t she on an anti-bullying group last season? Sigh. Glee.
