We are both….. ruthless? so similar? magical? I think this could refer to different combinations of Rumpel, Cora, Regina or even Jefferson in the FTL flashbacks (based on previous spoilers, we know we’re going to see all of them in this episode).

Knowing that this is the episode in which we see how Regina met Rumpel, we’re most likely going to see FTL flashbacks of Cora, the miller’s daughter, and the deal she made with the dark one to save Regina, her first born. Thus, we may see the title refer to how both Cora and Regina managed to get power from Rumpel. The similarity could also exist between Cora and Rumpel, since they both ruthless, like making deals and wanted power. Also, I could see it meaning how Rumpel taught Regina magic (to get back at Cora). I wonder if Jefferson is related to Cora and Regina though, since we know Sebastian Stan is set to appear here. So, the title could potentially refer to Regina and Jefferson as two people who learned magic.
Another possibility for the current day I imagined is that the title could also refer to Snow White, Emma, and Prince Charming. I think Emma and SW go missing from SB. Perhaps SW and PC are both extremely sorry for having to let go of Emma and make an apology to her. Another possibility is that SW and Emma discover they’re both so alike in many personality and ability traits. Whatever happens, there could be some nice maternal contrasts and links between Cora/Regina in FTl and SW/Emma in (SB or wherever they are).
I was thinking more along the lines of zlfh4’s explanation, but I like the idea of contrasting Cora’s and Regina’s relationship to Snow’s and Emma’s or even Regina’s and Snow’s when they first lived together.
However, if it doesn’t just mean the people of Storybrooke having two sets of memories now, I think it’s more likely that it does refer to how Cora was the original Miller’s daughter, and what deal she made with Rumple over Regina since there’s been so much emphasis by the writers about that backstory and because Emma doesn’t sound like she does much in episode 2.
