Having spent the previous episode introducing the musical aspect of the "Once Upon a Time" universe, episode 12 gets back to the show's bread and butter of high-stakes drama and character-building. Airing in March of 2017, "Murder Most Foul" finds its characters grappling with the mysterious death of one of their own, leading to inevitable tensions and suspicions within their tight-knit community.

The episode kicks off with Hook and Emma enjoying a blissful morning in bed, reminiscing about how tough things used to be when they first met. However, their conversation quickly turns serious when Hook realizes he's late for his appointment with David, where the two of them are planning a group fishing trip.

Meanwhile, in the Enchanted Forest flashbacks, we see Snow and Charming attempting to help a young woman named Princess Jasmine track down her father, the Sultan, who has gone missing. This leads them to confront an infamous thief named Ali Baba, who agrees to help them on their quest in exchange for a magical object.

Back in the present day, Hook and David finally get out to the boat to start their fishing trip, only to find a gruesome sight waiting for them. They discover the body of one of the regular local fishermen, who appears to have been murdered. The rest of the episode revolves around the team's attempts to solve the crime, with each character's unique perspective and backstory coming into play.

For example, Mary Margaret starts to suspect the worst of Emma when she pulls out of a previously agreed-upon girls' night out, leading her to recount some of Emma's darker moments from her past. Meanwhile, Regina struggles with her own guilt and past mistakes, and seeks to use her network of magic to get to the bottom of the mystery.

Despite the tense subject matter, the episode still manages to include some character development and lighter moments. The musical stylings of the previous episode come back with a charming (pun intended) rendition of "A Whole New World" during the Enchanted Forest flashbacks. And as always, the dynamic between Regina and Zelena provides some of the show's most entertaining scenes, particularly when they argue over who gets to be the one to uncover the truth behind the murder.

"Murder Most Foul" does an impressive job of balancing the series' various plotlines and characters. While it may not be one of the flashier episodes in the show's history, it delivers some satisfying drama and intrigue while also featuring some of the series' trademark humor and heart. Fans of the show won't want to miss out on this whodunit episode.
