Just had a thought, and I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this before… but what if Eva was indeed Cora’s sister, and then Cora banished her to wonderland where she then became the White Queen? I don’t know much about the original Alice on Wonderland story, but I think I remember the Queen of Hearts and the White Queen being sisters… She could still be alive that way! Maybe even hidden in Storybrooke somewhere.
Yeah, I agree. Turning Belle in to another warrior princess seems a little forced to me. That was one of the things I liked about Belle, that she was true to the Disney version. She loved books, she was sweet and kind, and completely capable of being considered a strong woman without having to carry around a sword.

Ah, Bailee Madison, I’m just in constant awe for her uncanny resemblance to Ginnifer!
Shall we start bets on who that surprising connection might be? 😈
My first guess would be Rumple – DUH. He is connected to absolutely everyone in this town/FTL!
Although I would like it to be someone else! It sounds like it is a significant one (although, as usual, it might just be a tease) but perhaps she has some connections to the Mills family?I really want her to be connected to someone in the Mills family, mainly because of Henry and his messed up family tree. If I’m right and Bae is his dad, then that means pretty much everyone is biologically related to him except for Regina. Not that it isn’t enough for her to be his adoptive mother/step-great-grandmother, but I think it would be really cool if she were actually related to him, however distantly. Plus, it would make their family tumbleweed that much more complicated, and I like that.
I definitely feel like there is a story to tell about granny getting the cloak from Rumpelstiltskin, and it probably will be from when she was younger. Perhaps it will involve the falling out between Granny and Anita? I hope so because I really want to know what happened between the two of them, and also what happened to Red’s father and grandfather?

I would love to have an episode where it flashed back to a very young Emma.
But yeah, what Gypsy said – she got her last name from the first family she was with until she was 3. I want to see what these people are like. Because how can you take care of a little girl for years and then just give her back because you had one of your own? I mean… did they not connect with her at all? They were there probably for her first steps, first words… how do you just give a kid away like that?
That’s exactly what I thought. Why would they send her back after taking care of her for so long? Which of course makes me think that there’s a backstory to that. These writers are completely capable of taking what would seem like a throw away line and then turning it in to a whole story. Just look at Regina’s Tallahassee comment. So yeah, I would live to have a flash back involving ” the Swans” but I don’t think we’ll be getting it this season. Maybe next year?
Hmm. Well, since we already know that Cora is going to have her backstory revealed in this episode, here’s my theory.
The miller’s daughter story plays out pretty much like we know it, with Cora needing to spin straw in to gold for the King (who in my opinion is George) because the kingdom is in financial trouble, she can’t do it, she gets help from Rumpelstiltskin etc. She marries the king, and for now she doesn’t have to spin gold anymore because the kingdom is doing well. Cora enjoys being Queen and the power that comes with it. She even falls in love with the king. Then she finds out she’s expecting and Rumple wants to take her child, but she desperately finds a loophole in his deal and gets to keep her on a technicality, perhaps involving her returning the magic spinning wheel. Then the kingdom is in trouble again, and the king wants Cora to spin more gold, but alas she can’t anymore. The king is angry at Cora for lying to him, and since he never loved her and only married her for her gold-spinning ability, he tosses her out of his castle and tells everyone in the kingdom that their queen is dead so that he can remarry. (This is my explanation of why Cora is so insistent that love is weakness. She loved the king, but he betrayed her, and her love of her daughter made her get kicked out of the palace.) So, poor Cora is alone and pregnant when a kind man of good fortune pities her and comes to her rescue. He’s no king, but Cora marries him because she has nowhere else to go. She gives birth to a daughter, but knows the king will never recognize her as his own, so she becomes determined for her daughter to become queen, as is her right by birth.
