I actually think this was a clever way to bring the Evil Queen back, because it wouldn’t have made sense for Regina to fully revert after several Seasons of redemption. I’m glad Regina wasn’t able to kill the Evil Queen that easily, either. Now my original theory was that Regina would transform back and forth into the Evil Queen, but I’m not sure which is better. That would have felt like a retread of the Spell of Shattered Sight. Plus, I think it’s pretty fun and interesting to see Regina come face to face with the Evil Queen. If I had to guess, more characters could also be separated with the formula. Why do I have the feeling that Rumple is one of those characters? What happens to Rumple if he’s separated from his evil side? Does Evil Rumple take all of the Dark Ones powers, or will both halves still have the Dark Ones powers?
