Meanwhile, in the Fairy Tale Land that was, when the Evil Queen presents Snow White with an offer to live her life with Charming in peace – with the caveat that she give up her claim to the throne – Charming makes it his mission to ensure that Snow doesn’t take the offer. Written by Andrew Chambliss & Kalinda Vazquez and directed by Ron Underwood.
The ratings were all over the place, but overall lower than season 2. However, there was a huge spike in ratings between Going Home (3A finale) and New York City Serenade (3B premiere, coming in at 2.40). 3B overall had the best episodes of the season and the worst episode of the show. At least until S04E11 (Heroes and Villains) which also had a demo rating of 1.70.

I'm always reminded how is this show lasting long as it should with no cancellation in sight. Then I've remembered: Disney and their fans. Because ABC = Disney and lately, they've been marketing that like crazy, rather than focus on strong storylines. With Eddy and Adam's ego, the cast/crew being "yes men" (as I was told/got the vibe from what I've read in cast interviews), plus a whole lot of villains/plots, you have too many cooks in the kitchen and that is not good.
It's sad, because this show made me happy during bad times (this was season 1), but with the show being a hot mess (plus my eternal loathing of Captain Swan), I just had to let go (I assume others did too or they've stood, because hey, guilty pleasures).
