Here’s a major problem…Regina has had her memories returned to her twice now (S3B and S5A) so why didn’t ALL her memories return, including whatever Cora did to her in her youth?
I would say because those scenarios were very selective. Zelena only erased their memories of the missing year, and Emma only erased their memories of the 6 weeks in Camelot. Therefore, it was only those specific memories that returned.
I figured that was probably the case. It just seems…convenient.
Either this or Cora made a deal with someone very powerful to wipe those memories away.

I’m still interested in finding out what sort of deals Cora had to make! Maybe next season?
But can Sunday get her soon…this is the one episode I’ve looked to the most this entire season!
