Promo Ep 21

I dunno! It looks flat like a map or cloth or open book, but it’s too small to be the story book.
What’s the story behind the scene with Charming and Snow trapped by a glass wall?

I’m wondering about the outfits Charming and Snow are wearing. As far as I can tell from the promo, Snow is in her fur outfit when she bites the apple and James is in his dark leather one. But, correct me if I’m wrong, she was a in a white outfit and he in the fancy red on when he kissed her awake in Pilot. Maybe the dwarves put her in the dress for a “funeral”, but did Charming seriously stopped to change on his way to save her?

I am not sure. I think that Snow and Charming are both looking through a mirror at each other and are not really in the same room.

I thought it looked like a cookie or maybe something that Henry ate that was made by Regina and was poisoned like an apple tart or something. Wild guess though on that.

Ooo yah you’re right, it does look like a mirror of some sort. I like the poisoned food idea, it’s a nice parallel with Snow’s story. If you pause the promo and look, it almost looks square, but a little bit dented, like it’s a flexible square (hence my cloth or paper idea). It could be a cloth that’s holding something, and maybe the something could be bread or cake or something else crumbly sometimes eaten out of a cloth napkin.
Do we think Regina is capable of hurting Henry? We never did get a clear answer about whether she loves him. From human lie detector Emma’s decision to stay in SB after asking Regina that question in the pilot, I’d assumed Regina didn’t love him, even though she may want to. But Emma did refer to Henry as someone Regina loves in The Return. I’ve always thought that she does care about him. But she’s also very bitter and getting desperate, so I’m not sure if she’s willing to go that far or not.

I still don’t think that Regina is capable of loving Henry because the consequence for her of doing the curse was the hole that could not be filled.

Maybe Regina tries to make Charming marry her in the fairytale land and that is why he is wearing that outfit and then he runs off to find Snow and kiss her. Or maybe Snow and Charming are supposed to get married that day and he does not know that she has eaten the cursed apple. Though it does seem like the Evil Queen told Charming about the cursed apple and probably threatened his life to Snow.

Yah, I agree that she can’t love him because she’s so scarred and because of her enacting the curse, but I do think she wants to love him and therefore does care what happens to him. I think she’d need to be very upset or scared to hurt him, but that doesn’t necissarily mean she won’t get that upset.

Regina trying to make the prince marry her is an interesting idea! Maybe to completely triumph over snow? Really interesting thought.
I’d been think of the kiss in the pilot happening right after the end of an apple red as blood. King George takes James, gives him to/gets him taken by the queen, who then strikes off to put snow in a coma. He breaks out, finds snow and kisses her. That’s the impression I’ve been getting from promos. But I different timeline might explain the clothes better
