Once Upon a Time Episode "Smash the Mirror"

Here's a show I don't talk about all that much, Once Upon a Time. I've been watching this show since it first started, and I have to say it's a great twist on the fairy tales/Disney characters we're use to.  If you haven't seen it, I suggest you start with season one, and do not read further, because there are *spoilers* ahead.
This new season brought Frozen to Once Upon a Time, which I was a bit surprised with because Frozen is such a new movie. But it's working out nicely, because it gives you more of a back story on Anna and Elsa's parents and why they were on that boat. It also shows you a connection with Elsa and Emma, being that they have trouble controlling their powers, and also have family issues. 
But anyways this last episode was pretty intense. It made you think that Emma was going to give up her magic to Rumple.


 But Rumple of course being Rumple, had another plan in mind, he was going to trick Emma into thinking she was just giving up her magic but instead he was going to let her get sucked into the Fantasia hat. (Yes the hat from the Mickey Mouse Fantasia, it sucks the magic out of people, while also sucking them into the hat.) The snow queen who Rumple trapped with a spell, tried to stop Emma using a "hologram" of herself in the middle of the road. She tried to explain what Rumple was doing, but Emma did not believe her, because she is the villain in this story. Hook also tried to show up just in time to save her, but Rumple stopped him, and had him watch the show that was about to happen. Luckily Elsa stopped Emma by explaining to her that it wasn't just her family's love she needed, she needed to love herself for what she is, powers and all. And Emma didn't give up her magic. Rumple was not happy and still held onto Hook, by taking his heart. Now he is able to control him, and will later use his heart in a spell to sever his bond with the dagger that controls him. (The dagger that Belle thinks she has, but it is a fake.) But Rumple still needs a really powerful person to sacrifice also. Afterwards (after a family celebration, of fireworks brought forth by Emma's magic.) Elsa and Emma found themselves wearing yellow ribbons that belonged to the snow queen and her sisters (one of whom was Elsa's mother). The yellow ribbons connect all three, in a sisterly like bond, but with them the snow queen is able to use their powers to boost her own. And the episode ends with the snow queen telling Rumple that she is more powerful then him and isn't afraid of him. Also she casts a major spell that will turn the whole town of Storybrooke against one another, called the Shattered Sight spell. 
I look for Hook to use the hat to stop the snow queen. And hopefully somehow Emma will find out the truth that Hook is in danger, because come on, Emma deserves to have a love interest. Hopefully the hat doesn't get used on Regina, or Emma accidentally.  (which sometimes happens in Storybrooke.)  What's your opinion on this last episode, and the show in general?
Here's a sneak peek of the next episode which airs in two weeks!
