Am I the only one that can’t understand why Cora knows that there is magic in SB?? 😕 How can she know so much, like the curse will be broke in 28 years, everyone will get memory-loss and there will be a savior etc…
It was Rumple that came up with the curse so it’s confusing that Cora share this knowledge…… Any one have any idea???
Cora does seem to know an awful lot about the curse. It’s made me wonder if perhaps she’s the one who Rumple was originally gonna recruit to cast it, but that plan didn’t work out. Like, perhaps Cora knew how it was all gonna work, and when it came to sacrificing the one she loved most to cast the curse, she’d had to have sacrificed Regina, and she couldn’t. That could explain why Rumple set his sights on recruiting Regina to perform the task instead, and the tragedy of it all would be that in the end, Regina’s life did in a way end up being sacrificed for the sake of the curse, even if her mother hadn’t been able to sacrifice her for it in the beginning. It’s basically just pure speculation, but Cora’s intimate knowledge of the curse had to come from somewhere and once I’d started wondering about it, my imagination kinda ran away with it. 😉
As for Cora knowing there’s magic in SB, she knew that Emma and Snow got from SB to FTL, which involved magic on the SB end. I don’t remember exactly how much info we saw the girls give to “Lancelot”, but safe to say they’d have told “him” about the state of things in SB.
