I wonder whether Regina will confront the fact that she was an awful mother to Snow. And the three kids she tried to “adopt.” Obviously since she was still being a jerk when the curse broke, it hadn’t gotten through to her yet then…and that smirk that Greg was dead…*chills*
But if she’s ever going to be the mother that Henry deserves, that he can freely love, then she has to deal with her other kid. I know people have different opinions about Snow being hers, but she DID agree to marry the king at some point and that DID make her Snow’s stepmother. Killing the king and spending then next few decades trying to kill/torture Snow and her family doesn’t change the fact that for most of Snow’s adolescence–just the age Henry’s entering, incidentally–she was Snow’s stepmother. And Snow clearly still sees her as that, because when she was trying to work out the family tree she said that Regina was also Henry’s step-great-grandmother.
I understand that Regina was a good mom to Henry, but that doesn’t change the fact she was an awful one to Snow. I would love if the show explored this aspect of Regina, and Snow relationship a bit more.
I do not think that we will get this back story now that GINNY IS PREGNANT … it would be hard to show mother – teen daughter interaction and not show SNOW as PG… this might effect how the future stories are written.
