    We now know Cora wants more beans. Why? Does she want to rule multiple worlds? Does she want to collect even more power? Assuming she’s the miller’s daughter, perhaps she’s bent on revenge against Rumple for getting the better of her and taking Regina to be his apprentice.

    For those who saw the spoilers, Cora wants Rumplestiltskin's dagger to control the dark one. Why? Is she just really power-hungry or does she have another agenda?

    I don’t get that either. I get why she would want at least one, to go back eventually. Back to FTL or to Wonderland? But I don’t get why she wants a ton of them. Unless it’s just because of their value? Do we believe that was even her actual goal? Tiny is the one who said it, and it might’ve just been a guess. I don’t have a better guess for what she brought Tiny there for though.

    I think it has something to do with her heart, and the others she’s collected along the way

    Hmmm.. you know I actually forgot about that. Maybe she wants it as a backup plan or as a precaution in case something goes wrong.
    Or it could be that she wants to go back to Wonderland to grab some belongings she might need to put her plan into action.

    YES! The Head Giant said so in the first bit of the flashback which is why I am so confused with this whole bean thing. I think Cora wants them to go conqueror other realms because she’s power hungry, but the bean thing makes no sense given what the Giant said. And, has anyone figured out HOW these beans work??? One took NealFire to our land, but one took Hook to Neverland. These beans really need some more explanation, as does a lot of portal jumping.

    I know this probably has something to do with Cora’s overall plan and the direction of the plot for this season but the whole thing has me completely stumped.

    I think she just wants ALL the powers from ALL the lands. They made a point of establishing that the humans had used the giant’s beans to plunder other lands, which I think is basically what Cora wants to do. I think that her lust for power is so overwhelming, that the only way to stop her will be to kill her. I’d like to see Regina do that, because it’d be a nice little parallel to how she killed her father. Back then, she killed a parent to doom everyone. Now, she’ll have to kill a parent to save everyone.

    Maybe the Outsider Greg Mendel is a bean expert and helps out? (Had jut posted same thought on different thread).

    Time might not flow the same in FTL as it does here…100 years there might be two weeks here. Also, did the giants have magic? I bet Rumple will be able to help the process when he gets back. I am assuming his magic loss is just because he was outside of storybrooke.
