Honestly about the topic at hand, Emma should never allow Henry in a room with Regina alone again, after now knowing who she is and what she has done, unless it is an extreme emergency where Emma allows Regina to protect Henry because that is the best choice in a list of very bad choices and the decision has to be made quickly and Henry doesn’t want to go. I do fear that they will try and fix their relationship and i find that ridiculous in a lot of ways. Maybe when Henry is an adult he could talk to Regina again, but now it seems utterly insane to me, even if Emma becomes allies with Regina at some point, even then, it seems ridiculous to me that she would allow Regina to speak to Henry alone.
I just think if it was my kid and this was a real person, who had committed all those sort of atrocities, murdering people, ripping out their hearts, enslaving peoples minds, all of those dead kids and the blind witch, i mean the very danger that is Regina, it is not worth the risk for Emma to leave her alone with him. Like ever. Maybe as an adult he would make a different choice when it is his choice, but when it is Emma’s the answer is no freaking way.
[adrotate group="5"]I highly doubt that emma would ever leave Henry alone with Regina–she has hated Regina almost since day one of their meeting, Regina has tried countless times to force Emma out of Storybrooke, she framed her mother for murder, and with the events of the last episode (Henry eating the poison apple and all) Emma will probably attack Regina. 😀
No one in the whole Charming family will probably trust Regina alone with Henry.
I really hope that you are right, Elle. I mean i don’t want them to allow Henry to be alone with her. I just worry that the writers will decide to fix the relationship between Henry and Regina and i don’t really think that makes much sense in light of who she is. Like no matter what she does to redeem herself, i still don’t think Emma should let Henry hang out with her by themselves. .
Even if Regina can be redeemed, I still don’t think Henry would allow himself to get too close to Regina. She has already done so much to his family and to all the characters. He doesn’t trust her, he cannot even seem to stand her at times. 🙂
Both Prince Charming and Snow white now remember and are sure to want to get rid of her–Snow White has been shown to be a bit forgiving, but (from what Josh Dallas said) Prince Charming will be furious after what had happened, as he should be.
Regina, in her own way, cares for Henry, but it is not a healthy form of love. She is controlling and possesive, and any sign of disobediance can been seen as a threat to her. She has caused misery for everyone, tried to either kill or drive away the people that Henry loves most, and she even has him believe that he is having a fantasy. She thinks that buying him presents will make him love her–that might be similar to her own upbringing, but I digress.
It is possbily that she might not had ever been able to have children (or perhaps King Leopold did not want anymore) and after killing her father, she wanted company. Someone to love.
I wonder if the book explained what happened to Henry Sr., that Regina pulled out her father’s heart? Scary moment, if a child learned they were named after the father of their adopted mom – whom was killed by said adopted mom! 😯
Pre-Curse, Regina received warnings that if she continued her obsession with revenge, she would be left with a hole in her heart. She could have left and started over with her father. She could have gotten a pet. But no! I think she spent 28 years trying to fill that void regardless of these warnings: Graham and Henry being some of her attempts (there could even have been some attempts at pets in the first 17 years). In the end, Henry was probably as close as she got..
It’s not healthy! Not at all! It wasn’t until I started watching ONCE with my mom over the summer that Regina’s motherhood stood out: partly because my mom get’s livid! Mostly because of everything Elle’s already pointed out. What would she have done to Henry, had he grown up and wanted to leave Storybrooke? Or had fallen in love and wasn’t solely HERS anymore? I can see her having Archie declare him insane/unstable, and committing him before giving him up! She had to be in control of every aspect of his life and that would only have gotten more and more unstable as time progressed.
I’m not putting it beyond these creators to redeem the Evil Queen at some point: but right now I’d be shocked. The only thing that could possibly start this process would be Regina finally forgives Snow, realizing that it was a child’s mistake (and a mistake made to actually get Regina to her happily ever after). I can’t see this happening anytime soon or ever!
Regina will not be getting babysitter privileges or visitation either. I think just about every character we’ve met so far has a better chance of watching Henry than Regina or Rumpelstiltskin.
Based on season 2 spoilers,looks like Charming is going to be Henry's babysitter/defender while Snow and Emma are busy.
Woo! Okay, people, I want to make this as clear to you as possible! Yes, Regina has done terrible things, yes, —————, and yes she can be manipulative, but haven’t all of us done so as well!
She is not the only villain here, take a look at your dear good friends, blue fairy caused Rumple to lose his son, Jiminy is the cause of Gepetto’s parents deaths, Rumple has destroyed countless lives, and due to him being centuries old, his ass is far worse than Regina, for those who wish to throw stones at only her. He created the curse, but won’t admit it, made it seem as if Regina made the curse, and cast it, because he know people would be after him too. Regina was his scapegoat! She may have pulled the trigger but he sure as hell loaded the gun! Snow as I said, never revealed the truth about her and Regina! More tomorrow! I got to go to bed!Moderator’s note: Please avoid profanity.

I don’t know about you, but i have not murdered multiple people, sent children to be eaten by a blind witch, ripped out hearts, stolen the memories of everyone in the world, and potentially destroyed that world, so no i wouldn’t say i have done anything like Regina. I totally agree that Rumpel is also partially responsible for everything that Regina has done, but that doesn’t make what Regina has done okay. And lets talk personal history for a moment. Regina killed Henry’s great grandfather, tried to have both of his grandparents killed on multiple occasions, tried to kill Emma as a baby and sleep curse her as an adult, and ended up sleeping cursing Henry himself by collateral damage which ended up making him die for some time. It is too dangerous. Everything Regina has done is still evil and she should never be allowed in a room alone with Henry ever again. She could be redeemed as a character, turn around, help the good side, but no, never alone with Henry as long as that is Emma’s choice to make. If Henry decides to speak to her when he gets older, fine, that would be his choice, but as long as it is Emma’s then no way. This is a safety issue. It is not worth the possible physical harm Regina could cause as well as the emotional damage she will cause because she can’t stop herself. It is just a no to me.

I totally agree with this assessment of the Evil Queen. As long as Regina is on the dark side, she has no place in Henry’s life. If this were real life, Regina would be locked away or even executed for mass murder and destruction. Even though this is a fairy-tale, Emma grew up in the real world. Emma knows this lady cannot be trusted, especially with Henry, and especially now that magic has returned. Regina is like a crack addict when it comes to dark magic, which we’ve seen her use to do unspeakable evil.
Even if Regina does have a change of heart and is redeemable, then she’ll have to work out some kind of visitation rights to see Henry, but only under supervision. I hope for the best outcome for Regina, though I have lesser expectations for her. While I feel sorry for her for how Cora messed up her life, Regina is a sociopath, as Emma declared, and there should be no sugar-coating this assessment.

As much sympathy as I have for Regina, it does not lesson the fact that numerous people have gotten hurt. True, her activating the curse was due to manipulation, but she also had a choice. Her father said she should forget about Snow White, about power, about her revenge, and come with him to have happiness. She might have been happy like that–she will not never know for certain. 🙁
Maleficent also warned Regina of the consequences–Regina still pursued her goal, despite the warnings.
In many ways, Regina acts like a child in need of love and in need of fairness (in a childish way). The way she talked to her father before she killed him showed that, as well as her confrontation with Emma in the closet. Her friendship with Kathryn (before the latter yelled at her) also shows that. But with people like Kathryn and her father, once they betray or reject her in anyway that she percieves to be unacceptable, then they are not safe.
With Henry, it can be argued that there is an exception, but it might also be that Henry (in her eyes) goes too far.
Maybe they could have supervised visits if Henry really wants it, but honestly i dislike that idea as well. Though like i said if Henry is in danger and they send him with Regina to protect him, maybe, i could see a situation where that might happen, but honestly that is it for me. At least at this point. They would have to go a long way with her character for me to want that and Regina has got to stop trying to kill Henry’s family members and feel real remorse for it, not just sort of remorse, but i will still treat you terribly. Not that. It would have to be real.
