To my surprise, this episode is an improvement over the previous episode while not nearly as excellent. Let's just say the pacing did drag itself a bit too fast, but that's the only nitpick I have. Everything else did work for the most part.
The story sets the events from the previous episode and connects it here perfectly. Emma and Regina's attempt to find out the secret plot of Ursula, Cruella, and Maleficent, and Maleficent and Regina trying to capture Pinocchio while Rumpelstiltskin is also planning something for him, and Snow White and Charming trying to tell Emma the secret about Maleficent; all of those situations are beyond shocking.
It also has some good moments including the interacting moments between Regina and Maleficent as the two feel they have a lot in common (both people who had everything they loved taken away from them) and the two fighting against Leopold and his soldiers in an action sequence when Maleficent turns into a CGI dragon (which is decent, to say the least).
Overall, Enter the Dragon is another great episode and a good way to set up the next episode. Recommended!
