While I know what Cora and Regina are looking for (the dagger obviously), my question is WHY. Why does this help Regina get Henry back? Last in in In the Name of the Brother Regina admits that she doesn’t want the town’s love or anything else, she just wants Henry. If Henry is off with Gold and Emma looking for Nealfire, then how does getting Rumple’s dagger help in this?
Well, Gold DID threaten the Charmings family including Henry. One way of making sure this doesn’t happen again is by being able to control Rumplestiltskin.
But I do agree that Cora is clearly manipulating Regina and I’m not a big fan of how easily this is happening.To be honest, I don’t want the writers to explain any of it. Please remember that for 28 years the time STOPPED for Storybrooke. Its residents could’ve been going through the Groundhog Day every single day and not notice it – the only one who was changing was Henry. That required a carefully designed “bubble” – their own community living according to the rules of the curse and not to the reality. For all we know they could’ve not existed for any outsiders who didn’t specifically want to look for it, like Emma or August.
Yes, some of them have mobile phones (ancient ones though, check the Outsider episode when Belle calls Rumple) but I haven’t seen any iphones, tablets, mp3 players… These people were stuck in one point in time, probably that of a 28 years ago and I doubt many of them know how to even use internet (but they probably know of it).
Repeating any courses for teachers, doctors, lawyers? No, it actually seems to me like all those titles aren’t even valid in the rest of the world, they have been created, as Regina mentioned, from the curse (that conveniently didn’t allow them to leave town), along with their fake memories so they might just exist in Storybrooke. And who needs repeating the courses every few years if the time doesn’t even exist there? They probably don’t even know they would have to do that because the standards set up by the curse don’t require it. It’s a bit like a fake community in the Truman Show, only the one watching is Regina.They never needed to identify themselves “in the real world” so it will be interesting how Gold bypasses his fake identity and all that.
So… Jacqueline could’ve tried to slay the giant but instead fell in love? Or pretended to be in love, just to get him to make himself small (I have a feeling he has that ability) and set him up for a trap? That’s why he doesn’t trust people?
OR Both? Jacqueline was meant to set him up for a trap and befriend him but by the time she gained his trust, she actually felt sorry for him (or indeed fell in love) and wanted to prevent the bad to happen but she didn’t succeed and at the time of ambush (by other slayers/her brother – the real Charming?) she got herself killed trying to protect the giant?
