REGINA in Skin Deep … stream of consciousness

http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/once-upon-a-time#linkId-Hashtags-#OnceUponATime;#OnceABC

I have been looking at the previews and promotions of SKIN DEEP. I theorized that this REGINA is after her husband was killed and before anyone finds out in FTL that she is a BLACK WIDOW. Her clothing is black and she is wearing the stylized big hair of the EVIL QUEEN. But I think it is before the showdown with James and Snow…. she looks like she is in mourning for her husband… If Beauty’s father was aware of her EVILNESS he would not let her near his daughter but we see and hear REGINA counsel Beauty to save her town. I think she is up to her evil tricks and setting Beauty up as a sacrifice to the Beast/ Rumple.

I try to pay attention to FTL REGINA’s costume and hair style because they foreshadow the time line and where and when Regina is in the stories. The more evil Regina is the darker, blacker, more stylized
(gothic/ punk) her costumes become. I had not been paying particular attention to STORYBROOKE REGINA’s costumes.

Do you think her style and dress in Storybrooke also foreshadows her intent/ actions?
How do you track the stories for the TIME LINE in FAIRY TALE LAND?
What clues do you use to track in the stories? I have not watched LOST so those clues just slip by me… but I love old books and tales from all cultures so I refer and track them often in OUaT.

YOUR input and thoughts would be most welcome.
