AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Ok. So Eva was Henry Sr. intended until Cora proclaims she can spin straw into gold (I wonder if she’s in love with Henry). Then she makes a deal with Rumple: gold for Regina. Henry and Cora marry and she has Regina. Also, I think Rumple and Cora had a little somthing something but Cora was using Rumple to learn magic because she craves power over anything. She finds his dagger. She uses it against him to make him relinquish his claim on Regina and tells him that she never loved him, just learning the monsters weaknesses, thus breaking Rumple’s heart and breaking his soul even furhter (this woman MUST DIE). In retaliation for this, Rumple has George take over Henry’s kingdom and Henry and Cora are forced down several rungs of the ladder where Cora begins to plot how to get Regina on the throne. Meanwhile, Eva has married Leopold and had Snow and has the life Cora was supposed to have with Henry. BOOM.
