What I thought was so very strong about the scenes bet. the two was the fact that all that has passed bet. them has given Snow an emotional intelligence that her younger EF self didn’t have. Granted it took the curse for Snow to know how it feels to lose a child and be overwhelmed with grief that the child doesn’t know who she is. But that shared experience is one they can meet with on an equal footing. The fact that Regina let in her in for a comforting embrace and Snow’s defense of Regina from the monkey show the love she has for Regina and is (in my opinion) desperate to have in return from the only mother figure she has left.
