Extreme Makeover – A Recap of Once Upon a Time’s “Enter the Dragon”

No offense to Robert Carlyle, but this is pretty much the Worst Makeover Ever . . .

Regina pledges to the Sorority of Evil, Rumpel proves just how two-faced he can be, and Pinocchio is growing up way too fast in this week’s Once Upon a Time

---

Well, we all have a face that we hide away forever. Then, we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone. Some are satin. Some are steel. Some are silk and some are leather. They are the faces of a stranger, but we love to try them on.

– Billy Joel, “The Stranger”

Sometimes changing your look can change your entire outlook on life. It can alter the way people perceive you, and the way you see yourself. You hear actors say it all the time . . . how getting into costume plays a big part in helping them to embody the particular roles they are about to play.

When people like you and me want to upgrade our appearance, we get a haircut, try on a new outfit, slap on some makeup. When people in Storybrooke want an appearance upgrade . . . they literally put on someone else’s face . . .

This week on Once, Rump played some Hook-y. Maleficent kicked her drug problem and got reacquainted with her inner dragon. And Pinocchio showed us that even puppets aren’t immune to the ravages of age, hard living, and the lack of a good strong razor.

Let’s review, shall we?
