Fave bits for me had to be all the Little Snow and Regina scenes. So wonderfully played between the two.
Least fave aspect of the episode: how predictable the whole thing was. I think I pretty much saw everything with Daniel coming months ago. And like some others said, that’s the big issue Regina takes with Snow?
Maybe there’s an easy answer to this question that has simply escaped me (easy answers being so plentiful in OUAT ;)) but since, after watching this episode a bunch of times, it still bugs me, I’m. going to ask. Why didn’t Cora use her magic and Henry’s influence to raise Daniel to a high position? Did anyone catch something in the episode that would indicate Daniel (or Regina) had considered that possibility and rejected it? Seems like Cora didn’t care whom Regina married as long as the man had position, so why couldn’t Daniel be that man?
No matter how high she may be able to raise Daniel up, he’d never be as high as a King. Even if she used her magic to make some sort of take over, it would take years for that to happen, and as patient and cunning as Cora can be, she seems to really want everything done quickly. She went on in the beginning on how Regina should have been married by then and with children.
That said, I knew that Regina had probably lost someone she loved, even before this episode. She seemed bitter and even broken-hearted at some moments. It was not hard to imagine that her True Love had died, and since she had an extreme hatred towards Snow White, it was easy to say that Snow White had somehow been (in Regina’s opinion) responsible.
That said, Lana Parrilla shined in this episode. I loved seeing Regina in love–she was like a young Snow White, Belle, Cinderella, and Abigail. She was truly in love, spirited, amd determined to be with the one she loved. And the final scene with her and Snow White is one of my favorites–we see her enraged when she had seemed numb, almost dead. Then she seems to come alive–there is emotion in her face. And the final line, when she says she should have let Snow White die, was perfect. I also loved the scene with Regina in Mary Margaret, when the latter begs Regina to show mercy and Regina delightfully refuses.
I think Cora killed Snow’s mother. Then she set up the whole incident where Snow’s horse would get out of control. And she knew where Regina would be so that she would be there to save young Snow. Which makes you think that she knows about Daniel. She didn’t know that they planned to run away together though. So that is why she killed him.
