Why did Regina falls for Cora’s tricks yet again in season 2 if Cora had already pulled this stunt? Cora apologised then for making her marry Leopold.

I think Regina was desperate to feel any type of love from Henry in Season 2 and 3A, which is how Pan and Cora were able to manipulate her. If you take this new information about infertility into account, it just makes both situation cruel.
You know, the fact that Cora had zero problems using Henry to manipulate Regina in Season 2 just proves that Regina’s impulsive decision was steeped in real-world practicality. That is so incredibly sad. Cora did a number on her girls.

I am bothered by how quickly Regina gave over to Cora in S2 after THIS stunt which should set off ALL the red flags. It should have at least taken Regina longer to trust her mother in S2, but we said that even back then, 2 years before having this episode.
Did Cora’s speech at the end make sense given that she’s not supposed to have her heart?
No, it didn’t make sense. Cora supposedly didn’t realize that Regina would’ve been enough for her until she had her heart back. Yet, in this episode Cora, who was supposed to heartless at this point, said she had been wrong about love being weakness. Yet, that admission just seems like a huge retcon of what Cora, still heartless, said to Emma in The Queen of Hearts. Cora also said in this episode that she just wanted Regina to have a child for her own sake. I suppose Cora could’ve been lying to manipulate Regina, and that Regina’s suspicions about Cora weren’t unfounded. Yet, Cora did pass on a piece of motherly advice, something Cora said it had taken her a lifetime to learn, namely that that the only one standing in the way of her happiness was herself. However, even that piece of advice doesn’t make sense, because Cora didn’t learn what real happiness was until her dying breath in The Miller’s Daughter when Cora finally realized Regina would’ve made her happy. So, again, it seemed like a huge retcon of Cora’s entire character that she seemed to be genuinely interested in Regina’s happiness in Mother.
