HINT: My Fairy Tale alter ego is Animated (literally) like Roger Rabbit. K I D D I N G UnTruths R FunTruths! Giggling makes me Chuckle.
The “animated (literally)” comment just made me think of re-animated corpses, so I could see this as a hint for Frankie.
[adrotate group="5"]Yep, even before Cora was introduced, people were speculating that Regina would have something to do with the classic Rumplestiltskin story, just based on the fact that her name is Mills, as in miller. They’ve basically confirmed that now. It was kind of chilling, the way he was telling her he knew her when she was a baby, and she had no idea what he was going on about.
I loved how in We Are Both, they had Regina say that Cora never said the name of the man who’d given her the book, and then when Regina read his name out, he had a dig at her for saying it wrong. 😉

True, but a lot of people have pointed out that there is a good chance August and Bae are working together (How else would Auguest have known enough to play Rumple so well?). If that’s true, then maybe August has a barging chip. Bae’s location perhaps?
I’m still undecided as to whether or not August knows Bae. I think all the info he got to play Rumple, he got from Blue Fairy. He did tell Rumple that a fairy told him, after all, and we know he’d been having curious, whispered conversations with Mother Superior just prior to that. It could be cool if August and Bae somehow knew each other, but I’m just not convinced of that at this point in time.
What purpose would Rumple have for making August real again though? It’s not like August is his fave person in SB, given the whole, “Papa, I’m so glad I found you,” deception. So I can’t see Rumple doing August any favours unless absolutely necessary, and I dunno that he’d have a use for him right now.

What about The Stable Boy? That was the first time for me. I always liked her as a villain, but The Stable Boy just added so many dimensions to her character.
At the end of Stable Boy, I was just left with the feeling of how if that was her motivation for an all consuming lifelong vendetta against Snow, she was being a drama queen, because it wasn’t really Snow’s fault, it was Cora’s, and Regina knew it, but still chose to go after Snow any way. Obviously it was horrible that her mother killed the love of her life in front of her eyes, and I did feel bad for her for that, and it was tragic how that incident started her on her path to evil. But I thought her reaction to Snow was entirely unreasonable, so I didn’t finish the ep hoping for her redemption, I just happily went right on loving to straight up hate her.
I’d been hoping that as we saw more of her backstory that I would start to feel for her, so I’m glad they seem to be on the right track with that. I’m still not exactly an Evil Regal, but she’s growing on me. I don’t just love to hate her now, I’m actually interested in her possibility for redemption all of a sudden.
The only people we’ve ever seen her killing was an evil witch who ATE children, so actually it was a good thing she killed her, she never explained why she did it, maybe it was to protect the children of her land.
Regina mentioned that Hansel and Gretel weren’t the first children she’d sent into that house. Regina is the one who encouraged all those kiddies to go into the house, knowing full well they were likely gonna be cooked and eaten.

Interesting photos. I wonder if Belle’s old aquaintance will be Smee since he grabs her but then they appear to be talking and she doesn’t look particularly frightened. Hook has two hands, will he get his hook in this episode?
I thought it looked like in some shots he had both hands, but in a few he had one hand and a stump. The one from a couple posts up looks like a bandaged stump to me.
Can’t freaking wait to see Hook vs Rumple!!!
Everything involving Regina was so well written in this ep. Add me to the chorus of people who felt some actual sympathy for her for the first time. I’m actually starting to really want her to be redeemed. Before this ep, I really hadn’t thought she deserved it.

According to BabyNames.com, the name “Cora” means “heart”.
Yep, that’s one of the reasons I’ve always thought she’d end up being QoH, (and I’d always figured Regina was the one who banished her to Wonderland too, though I’d figured there would have been more specific intent behind it, not just following Rumple’s orders). If the stuff we saw in “We Are Both” was meant to be misdirection, it’s one HELL of a misdirection. 😆
As for how she ended up back in FTL, I’m wondering if it has something to do with how Jefferson ended up there too. Maybe QoH got wind of the fact that the Mad Hatter had finally figured out a way to get back, and she wanted some sweet revenge on her daughter, so she found a way to go with him. Once they were back in FTL, they went their separate ways, and then he ended up getting transported to SB while she didn’t.

Totally agree with everyone- daughter of finders, career as a finder, I really think a lot of Emma’s backstory is to make her a strong tracker for finding Bae.
Agreed, her character has been set up perfectly to be able to do that task.
As to whether that means it’ll be Mr NYC who she’s sent after, I’m still in two minds about whether or not he’ll end up being Bae. Part of me is thinking that seeing as how he’s already been given his sign and the location to head for, he won’t need anyone coming to find him, so if Rumple’s gonna send Emma after Bae, it’d be kind of redundant if she ends up going to find Mr NYC. Of course, if he is Bae, it’s not like Rumple would know that he’s been sent that sign, so he may still think to send Emma to look for him, even though it wouldn’t really be necessary.
Now – will Rumple be more active in helping to bring Emma and Snow home, now that he’s invested in their return? I buy that he’s not one for realm jumping, but I can see him approaching Jefferson and getting the ball moving – all without Charming’s knowledge of course.
Rumple always finds a way to get what he’s after, so I’m sure that if there’s anything he can do to help bring Emma back, he’ll do it.

Personally I think the boundary wipes the magic from you & that includes your memories of it, so while I think Emma will be able to leave, it’ll be whether or not she remembers what happened AFTER the curse was broken that remains to be seen- nothing is simple with H&K as writers 😉
Interesting thought! That would be quite the twist if crossing the border does have an adverse affect on her now. At the very least, I hope they show her thinking twice about taking that step, now that she knows what she knows.
Another thing I thought of…would she even be compelled to grant him his favour? Regina’s not compelled to comply to the “please” any more, so could Emma just refuse to do whatever Rumple asks of her if his deals aren’t quite as iron clad in this new world? Though I suppose he could play on her maternal instincts to convince her to help, if he does in fact want her to find his son.

Well, I’m pretty sure August will go to his go to gal- Blue Fairy, since he’s a man puppet 😉
Yep, that’s my guess as to where he’s gone. Where else would he go in a situation like this, but to the person who made him flesh and blood the last time he was a wooden puppet. Not convinced that Blue will automatically agree to do it though. I can see him having to earn his humanity back.
Was heart wrenching when Geppetto walked into August’s room at the end and picked up the hat. I hope they’re reunited soon!
As for whether or not August is still able to leave SB or not…I’m gonna go with not…coz even if technically he could, he wouldn’t go unnoticed for long out in the real world in his current state.
