406: Press Release

Nobody who has met the snow queen before that Zelda portal was opened remembers her. Yet, she’s always been there. They only have very recent memories of her. Except Gold. And, it was implied that Gold helped SQ sometime in the past.

Since Belle’s story of her lost mother involves memory loss, one can infer that SQ was involved in Belle’s mother’s death, and that at some point Belle learned it was the Snow Queen who provoked her death.

I think Belle’s mother fell to her death in a scene similar to the scene we see of Ana and Belle.

Belle never recognized Sarah Fisher as the snow queen due to memory loss, but she may recognize the title “Snow Queen”, and now she wants To find her to avenge her mother’s death.

I don’t know if this has anything to do with that memory loss thing, but in the original Snow Queen story, the SQ kisses the boy twice to make him forget the people he loves..

Yeah, I’d say the Snow Queen has the amnesia magic and can do it to whoever, whenever, which they could probably somehow relate to her having come from Arendelle and maybe she had some magical education from the Rock Trolls who can also take memories. And her relationship with Rumple could be that she’s where he got the amnesia ingredient for the Dark Curse.
