Cora is indeed the miller’s daugher. We see her with a rather drunken looking father. She delivers flour to the castle. A princess trips her and then claims she just fell and that Cora ruined her shoes. The king makes Cora get down on her knees and appologize. The princess is very snooty. The king says her name is Eva- so I assume this is likely Snow’s mom, although she certainly doesn’t act like the woman we met in “The Queen is Dead.” There is a prince too- Prince Henry. If he is Eva’s brother and is indeed Regina’s father…Regina and Snow are cousins!
Excellent. Cousins, step mother and daughter….
(There is a very funny moment when Cora knocks the device off the desk and says “I don’t like what the enchanted box is saying!”) They look at the dagger and realize he is more than just injured, he is dying. His name is disappearing from the dagger. Cora says they must change their plans…she is going to stab Rumple and become the dark one. If Rumple dies on his own, the dark magic just desolves. Regina questions her mom’s motives.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Best line ever? Cora will take his magic. Yeah, I saw that coming. Enter Snow and her magic candle???!
I refuse to feel sorry for Cora. She’s lying to the King to get ahead. She hasn’t even met Rumple yet. So no. No sympathy for Cora.
