Episode 2 News

so maybe this is a little cliche but my guess would be that we are both is a reference to all the characters having to come to terms with who they were in fairytale land and who they have been in Storybrooke..of course i always thought broken was in reference to the curse being broken and what the immediate aftereffects of this was since the first episode is supposed to pick up right where the season 1 left off but I could be wrong…

Well thought zlfh4. That makes perfect sense.

We are both….. ruthless? so similar? magical? I think this could refer to different combinations of Rumpel, Cora, Regina or even Jefferson in the FTL flashbacks (based on previous spoilers, we know we’re going to see all of them in this episode).

Knowing that this is the episode in which we see how Regina met Rumpel, we’re most likely going to see FTL flashbacks of Cora, the miller’s daughter, and the deal she made with the dark one to save Regina, her first born. Thus, we may see the title refer to how both Cora and Regina managed to get power from Rumpel. The similarity could also exist between Cora and Rumpel, since they both ruthless, like making deals and wanted power. Also, I could see it meaning how Rumpel taught Regina magic (to get back at Cora). I wonder if Jefferson is related to Cora and Regina though, since we know Sebastian Stan is set to appear here. So, the title could potentially refer to Regina and Jefferson as two people who learned magic.

Another possibility for the current day I imagined is that the title could also refer to Snow White, Emma, and Prince Charming. I think Emma and SW go missing from SB. Perhaps SW and PC are both extremely sorry for having to let go of Emma and make an apology to her. Another possibility is that SW and Emma discover they’re both so alike in many personality and ability traits. Whatever happens, there could be some nice maternal contrasts and links between Cora/Regina in FTl and SW/Emma in (SB or wherever they are).

I was thinking more along the lines of zlfh4’s explanation, but I like the idea of contrasting Cora’s and Regina’s relationship to Snow’s and Emma’s or even Regina’s and Snow’s when they first lived together.

However, if it doesn’t just mean the people of Storybrooke having two sets of memories now, I think it’s more likely that it does refer to how Cora was the original Miller’s daughter, and what deal she made with Rumple over Regina since there’s been so much emphasis by the writers about that backstory and because Emma doesn’t sound like she does much in episode 2.

I am sure there is probably going to be a focus on one or more characters in this particular episode as there always is…I just think that the storyline will probably be something along the lines of, if it is a Regina centric episode, which is what most are assuming, highlighting who she was then, who she is now, and how who she is now is more of a combination of the evil queen regina and the stable boy Regina before she lost Daniel. There is one important line from episode 2 that Regina herself says, “Love is weakness, I thought you knew that, Maleficent.” Now Regina loves Henry, and that is going to be a weakness or rather someone she would sacrifice anything for as Cora probably did in whatever deal she made with Rumple. I guess my theory is that this episode is probably going to focus on the parallels between what Regina is willing to do for Henry, and what Cora was willing to do for Regina. I could see them doing a parallel between the deal Regina made with Rumple for Henry, and the one Cora made with Rumple. Hope this makes sense…
