Whoa. Is that the first ever full on Regina/Emma hug?? (over a CS proposal. Swen is gonna lose their minds)
Lana Parilla played Regina as being more heartbroken than happy in that scene, in my opinion. There’re a lot of subtle emotions going on in her face, and when she repeats the line, “I’m happy for you. I really am,” the audience doesn’t quite believe her for some reason. It seems like Regina is trying to hide that her heart is breaking, even if she wishes her best friend well. Is it because Regina is heartbroken that Emma is getting married to someone like Hook? Regina said Emma was too good for him. Is it because Emma is supposedly going to live HEA while Regina is having to come to terms with losing Robin Hood all over again? Again, Regina loses out.
