I’m very impressed with the acting in just these few clips. They have the mother daughter dynamic well down.The daughter trying to prove she is tough enough to handle it, even though she is probably scared nearly out of her mind. The mother trying to encourage and yet instruct her daughter and keep her safe. This is going to be fun to watch the relationship develop. Superb actresses.
Agreed! It’s gonna be a real treat to watch this relationship evolve.

Perhaps the pit has the same anti-magic properties as the jail which held Rumpel in the pilot, which prevent Cora from using magic.
Hadn’t thought of that, but it’s a possibility.
Or is she actually in charge of that whole settlement of people, and she’s down there purely to pose as a fellow prisoner to get info out of them?
That’d be a very interesting twist!
Also, Cora seemed especially interested in how Emma and Snow White managed to return to the Enchanted Forest. It’s almost like Cora wants to go the opposite way back to SB. She probably has a huge grudge against Regina and Rumpel for what they did to her. 😕
That’s what I’m thinking, it seems that Cora wasted no time at all trying to find out how they got there, and I’m sure she’d love to go to where Regina and Rumple are to wreak some revenge on them.
I’m really curious as to how and when Cora found her way back to FTL. What state was she in when she returned? Did she storm into the place all powerful? If so, I could see her being in charge of this remnant of FTL folks. Even if she’s not their direct ruler, she could hold them to ransom in some way and as such be able to say, “I’m going to interrogate the prisoners,” and they’d let her do so without question.
Sitting here wondering what type of portal she could have used to get back, got me thinking about what portal Snow and Emma will use to get back. Wouldn’t it be fun if they went down the rabbit hole? Of course, we don’t know what the show’s version of Alice will be, and if she’ll be from our world, but if she was, maybe there’s some sort of rabbit hole network between worlds, including ours, and that’s where they’ll end up. Would be sort of fun, considering they got there via the Hatter’s hat, and will possibly have QoH, (if she does turn out to be Cora), trying to use them so she can get to the portal too. Oooo, there have been filming shots of the Rabbit Hole set in SB, haven’t there? With caution tape and whatnot? Wonder if that’s where they’ll pop back into town?
