Snow’s manipulation of Regina is epic. Not just the decision to cast the candle’s spell over the heart, but a foolproof way to get the heart back into Cora, *quite literally* at arm’s length – by getting someone else to do it. That is brilliant Dark Snow and I LOVE that the writer’s took her there!
But Light Snow comes back to doubt Dark Snow’s actions…. that is also great writing – now she has to deal with the consequences of her decisions. She knows she did the wrong thing. Or did she do the right thing (killing Cora) for the right reasons (protecting her family) but in the wrong way (by manipulating Regina)? Or did she do the wrong thing (killing Cora) for the right reasons (protecting her family) and in the wrong way (manipulating Regina)?
