Maybe you guys can clear something up for me. It hasn’t been talked about on the podcast. In one of the sneak peaks for ‘An Apple as Red as Blood’ Regina taunts Jefferson that he doesn’t have it in him to kill her. She also says if she’s dead, Jefferson will never be reunited with his daughter.
Regina repeats the same taunt again in the finale when he goes to see her at the hospital.
But what bothers me, is why killing Regina would prevent Jefferson from reuniting with Grace? I can understand if Regina killed Emma, then the curse would be broken.
