Kristoff is a great distractor. "Do you want to see the floral arrangements?"

Now
"It's some kind of snow monster"

Marshmallow rages, spikes appear, roars and knocks everyone out
The monster almost kills Marian, Regina almost let it but she has a change of heart
Emma says to Hook "you want to go home and see what's on Netflix?"
Hook: I don't know what that is, but sure
They talk, she kisses him, tells him to be patient, he says "I have all the time in the word. Unless another monster appears and kills me"
Emma visits Regina's office and she's sitting on the floor with her back against the door. (Very similar to the 'Do you want to build a snowman' song)

Sydney: I could probably tell you you're wearing too much eye make up
Regina wants to find the writer of the magic book
Something about villains getting their happy endings (Halloween episode anyone?)
