or was the DNA test tampered with (ordinary frame-up)?
Even before they mentioned DNA testing I was all, “If they send that thing for DNA testing and it comes back saying it’s Kathryn’s, no way am I believing it.” Regina has control over all that paperwork in that town and can make it say anything she pleases.
I thought about this as well and I’ll be very disappointed if they go this route. I just feel like that’s too easy of an explanation for these writers. MY question is why haven’t they shown us the heart? There are clearly two different hearts we’ve seen: the glowing red hearts that can easily be ripped out in FTL and an actual human heart. Graham was still alive in SB even though Regina had his “glowing heart” so perhaps Kathryn’s “glowing heart” was in that box? But wouldn’t Emma look at it and be like “What the hell kind of heart is this?!” I really think there is more to be revealed here.
