Cinderella and Tremaine

I had a thought that maybe it was really Lady Tremaine who killed Cinderella’s father and she just told Cindy that it was the prince to keep Cindy from getting her happy ending and then she kills him before he can reveal the truth. That would explain a lot.

Agreed. I dunno if it was just really bad acting, but that Prince didn’t seem like the murdery type. So once Cinderella had confronted him like that, Tremaine had to off him before he said anything else and Cinderella eventually figured out the truth. Assuming that this Prince did turn down Drizella at some point, but his younger brother was interested in her instead, then of course Tremaine needs the older brother to die so that Drizella can have a shot at being Queen instead of just wife to the second in line to the throne. So she sets up Cinderella with the fake story about her father’s death, in the hope that she’ll kill him and it’ll save Tremaine from getting her own hands dirty, and Cinderella will end up in jail as a bonus.

The time I found Tremaine to be most convincingly evil in the whole ep (and she tried to be evil A LOT) was when she casually referred to murdering someone as a “chore” that Cinderella hadn’t finished as per usual.

* Side note because I already mentioned Drizella and her potentially marrying a Prince. They had a couple shots of her “OH MY” face when Henry was sword fighting. I predict she develops quite a crush, and because he’s in love with Cinderella instead, Drizella casts the Curse to tear them apart.
