Hopefully they save Henry only to have him shot in the heart by Robert John Burke during the final moments of the episode.

I like the bit where Regina did her Kano Fatality, particulalry her mini-speech that led up to it. But the quasi-resolution was far too predictable.
At least they're out of Neverland. Sadly,

Looking at the OP, I see this is only the 9th episode of the season. This Neverland storyline has been so slow that I mistakenly assumed this was the season finale. Imagine my surprise when I saw the ad for next week's episode. 
My bad. I don't even watch the other show so I dunno how I made that goof.

My wife summed things nicely mid episode: "I haven't watched the show for two weeks and I haven't missed a single thing!"
This Pan nonsense should have been 6 episodes tops. The exposition stuff worked fine when you had numerous characters, but this season it feels like its there only to pad out this Neverland story.
