Now that the Snow Queen has vanquished herself, Storybrooke will have to prime itself to fight a new front of evil on “Once Upon a Time.” For the next half of Season 4 the town will have to deal with a trio of evil: “Sleeping Beauty’s” Maleficent (Kristin Bauer van Straten), “101 Dalmatians” Cruella de Vil (Victoria Smurfit) and “The Little Mermaid’s” Ursula (Merrin Dungey).
However, Storybrooke’s already resident Evil Queen (Lana Parilla) is only worried about one of these new villains, and it is the one she’s closest to.
“I think Maleficent is more of a formidable foe because she’s a powerful sorceress so I think she fears what Maleficent is going to bring to Storybooke and the potential danger of having this sorceress/dragon beast coming back,” Parilla explains to Zap2it. “She’s not as threatened by the other two.”
That does not mean that there isn’t something to fear when it comes to Cruella and Ursula. Parilla hints that there’s also a backstory with them and Regina as well. “In regards to Cruella and Ursula — [Regina] knows of these women. They too have a history with her, but not as close or as tight as Maleficent’s,” she says.
Regina and Maleficent’s relationship was explored a little in Season 2, before Emma slays Maleficent in her dragon form. Now the sorceress will be returning and Regina their history will be reexamined. “They were once friends so you’ll see there’s an episode coming up where you’ll see their back story and how they met,” Parilla says.
It will be old ties versus the new Regina when the evil three arrive in town. These are Regina’s people and she’s not about to let anyone near her throne. “[Regina] is going to take that sort mayoral position where she’s going to protect everyone if there is any sort of havoc that is caused by these women,” explains Parilla.
The Spell of Shattered Sight reminded Regina — and fans — how good it can be to be evil though. Reuniting with old friends in the face of adversity may be Regina’s best temptation to return to the dark side and everyone will have to choose which side of that moral line they fall on.
“Who is everyone going to root for — heroes or villains? That’s what this episode [on Dec. 14] is all about,” Parilla says. “Regina is going to have to pick a side and I think that’s going to play out throughout the season.”
Find out which side Regina chooses when the “Once Upon a Time” fall finale airs Dec. 14 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
[adrotate group="5"]December 11, 2014 at 6:25 am #292768FelieParticipantI have always had a huge soft spot for villains, so I guess my side has already been determined. They are, in my opinion, more interesting than the heroes the vast majority of the time.
As far as Maleficent and Regina are concerned: I want to see seething resentment coming from Maleficent for what Regina did to her, and I will not be happy if it is just swept under the rug. Regina abused Maleficent (her ‘friend’!!!) during the curse, and I don’t think it’s ok to excuse that kind of thing, even when the one being abused is a ‘bad guy’.
Parilla calls Maleficent a ‘sorceress’ but I’m hoping she just misspoke, because I really want Maleficent to be a fairy (as is the case in the original tale, the Disney classic, and the live-action). I was hoping that Cruella would be be a sorceress, and that Ursula would be something we’ve not seen before on OUAT, like a siren or something.

In 306 she was called a sea goddess

I assumed that that whole ‘worshiping’ thing was just the human mythology that had grown around her, and that she was actually something less powerful than a real goddess.

"there’s lesbians in it"December 11, 2014 at 10:04 am #292792WickedRegalParticipantNow it’s to be really expected for Mal to be peeved off with Regina for locking her underground for thirty years…I do agree, that shouldn’t be swept under the rug with a simple I’m sorry, and a hug.
I want Regina to be in Emma’s shoes this time, and for Mal to be in Regina’s….kinda like how it was in 4×05 Breaking Glass. And I think 4×13 Unforgiven will be the beginning of that story, and I suspect around 4×19 for things to be smoothed over between Regina and Maleficent because I’m hoping Regina manages to pull Maleficent to the Anti-Hero Side in time for them to work together to bring down Ursula and Cruella!
#DRAGONQUEEN IS MY BRO OTP!!!!! I may not have Robin for the first few 4B Episodes, but dangit, at least I’ve got Maleficent!
