If Rumple went to NL for the squid ink then why did Regina? We know she has a certain mermaid problem, but what caused it and why go to NL? What did she need there?
Maybe Regina wanted squid ink for herself, so she had a certain mermaid fetch it for her, and in exchange gave that mermaid legs. Regina might have wanted the squid ink to write her own spells. In 2×9, Snow White said she had witnessed Cora blow on the pages of her spell book to activate the magic, which is how she know to blow on the parchment Rumple had written upon, which opened up the cell. This also indicates to me those spells in Cora’s spell book were also written in squid ink.
Good catch slurpeez! We know that Regina built in her own failsafe so she was clearly doing stuff behind Rumple’s back so it wouldn’t surprise me if she needed some squid ink of her own in order to accomplish some of that with the curse (especially if Rumple did use squid ink to write the rest of it).
I like the idea of her essentially being Ursula and it fits. I know Lana has said she’d love to be Ursula and that was awhile ago so hopefully they’re giving her what she wants so it all connects! Sounds like she struggled a bit getting what she wanted from the mermaid given that she went to Rumple for help with dealing with her but perhaps it is just that Ariel thwarts whatever her plans were and becomes an issue for her. Though why that would be a problem in a different realm I don’t know unless Regina reallllly needed some squid ink.
