There has to be a reason for the scene at the start of the episode to take place with EQ at RH’s grave, talking about how she *used* to love him. I think its all foreshadowing. The fake realm being created, RH popping back up, Henry being alive in the realm despite all logic.
I wonder if this will have something to do with the two halves of Regina reuniting….
EQ starts the episode visiting RH’s grave. EQ claims she is basically honouring his memory, because if wasn’t for his death, EQ wouldn’t have been created. (That is, Regina wouldn’t have felt so badly after his death, that she wouldn’t have wished away half of herself). EQ further claims she loved RH, not loves. First of all, I don’t believe that one. We have been shown repeatedly, in many ways, that Regina feels very deeply, for example, not even removing her heart stops her from feeling and loving. Secondly, the EQ loves Henry.
So, if the EQ both loves RH, but realizes his death liberated her, what happens when that hurt is healed, or at least the grieving process completed? Even in just Regina? Is there a reason for EQ to exist after that?
