The continuation of Operation Firebird a.k.a.
(Using what I assume is most ofOnces budget for the second half of the season.)
Shes distracted by one particular grave, with a familiar name: Hercules.

In this world, Hercules is more than just an old friend.
He was Mary Margarets first crush.
He was her first mentor.
But Mary Margaret is insistent that they find a way to help him move on.
Besides, if they can save him, maybe he can help savethem.
Meanwhile, Emma is following cold trails with Henry and Robin and Regina.
Its kind of a complicated story, says Mary Margaret, which might be the understatement of the year.
I mean, have you SEEN the Snow/Charming family tree?
Well, good ol demigod Herc has the answer to that!
Hes got one more to complete, which is surprise!
killing the three-headed dog Cerberus.
Herc attempts to go forth and kill the beast, but he loses his courage and runs away.
And its a really good genuine-friend speech, not Regina being sarcastic or something.
And so Mary Margaret returns Hercs sword and makes him tell her how he failed his last task.
Hes finally made up for saving her, which was, I guess, her unfinished business?
Ah, love in the Underworld.
She needs to not be Mary Margaret anymore.
She needs to be Snow White.
(I guess that means were changing how we refer to her in recaps going forward.)
In flashbacks, Snow attempts to use her newfound skills to take on the bandits.
No one wins every battle, he tells the fledging queen.
When Snow faces the bandits again, this time shes self-assured, cool under pressure, andstillan excellent shot.
How many people can say their first kiss was a demigod?
