😮 Wow, so we’ve confirmed that Regina’s mom is the miller’s daughter and is a powerful sorceress.
We’ve learned that King George is the judge figure in SB and clearly has an agenda and is working with Regina.
We’ve learned Mary Margaret wanted Kathryn gone and that she doesn’t listen to Mr. Gold’s legal advice.
We’ve learned that August is helping Emma in her investigation and seems to have knowledge about Regina’s cover-up of evidence. Also, what was with him stumbling and limping? It’s either an old wound or a wooden leg perhaps….puppets, woods (hmmmm)[adrotate group="5"]"That’s how you know you’ve really got a home.

The “Heartless” headline is just Regina forcing Sidney (the editor of the town newspaper) to spin the story negatively. It’s like when the Soviet Union newspaper would print State propaganda. Ironically, the Soviet newspaper called Pravda is Russian for “truth” when in reality most of the articles printed were just lies. Back in SB, we all know Regina is actually the one who is heartless. The headline is ironic, because though Mary Margaret is on trial for murder, Regina is the one who was dark enough even to remove her own father’s heart to enact a dark curse. Regina’s not only heartless, but diabolical.

According to the credits for episode 12, the severe nurse was played an actress named Ingrid Torrance. She is not the Queen of Hearts from episode 17, in which the credits list the Queen of Hearts being played by another actress: Jennifer Koenig. This knowledge also discredits the theory that the Queen of Hearts is Regina’s mother, Cora, who is in fact played by Barbara Hershey in the credits for episode 18. There we have it: three different actress for three different characters.
1. Severe nurse is played by Ingrid Torrance.
2. The Queen of Hearts is played by Jennifer Koenig
3. Cora, Regina’s mother, is played by Barbara Hershey.

That metal hat rack is shaped like a tree.
It makes me think of a barren tree without its leaves, perhaps even a barren apple tree. It’s a bit of a stretch, but I wonder if it stands for the defeat of Regina. I’ve always thought that the apple tree is a symbol of Regina’s power. The apple tree is on the town emblem. Regina said in episode 2 her honeycrisp apple tree could weather any storm and survive freezing temperatures. She was clearly speaking metaphorically of herself. Then, we saw Emma cutting down the apple tree in an early episode (episode 2 I think), which was a clear indicator that Emma was challenging Regina’s power. Afterward, Emma declared, “You have no idea what I’m capable of.” When Emma cut off the branch, it was like dethroning Regina. So, a tree without laves or fruit is without its power. Perhaps the barren tree hat rack hints at Jefferson helping Emma take down Regina and her apple tree, once and for all."That’s how you know you’ve really got a home.

I had another post about what story August may have added to the book: https://oncepodcast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=175

Jefferson is a powerful man of magic, and Regina said she was impressed when he transported them via the magic hat. I’m wondering if Jefferson was the wizard who enchanted Red’s cloak to prevent her from shifting into her wolf form.

I’d say, yes, it’s definitely a young picture of a young Snow White. I posted my reasons elsewhere: https://oncepodcast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=487

@ sjm: Yes, you could be right. I think Regina was royal by her own lineage before she married King Leopold. She could have been the granddaughter or niece of a king, without being directly in line to the throne.

The picture in Henry’s book of the girl with the white ribbon holding a heart locket is a young Snow White.

I posted this in the episode 17 thread, but it’s relevant here. I think the picture from the book is a young Snow White.
Look closely at the shape of her face and her white ribbon. The picture from the book is identical to the photo of the young Snow White (episode 18). Also, the fact that she is holding a heart locket makes me think it belonged to Regina, a gift given to her by her true love, the Stable Boy, Daniel. Finally, I think the reason Henry had a funny look on his face at the start of episode 17 is because this may have been the first time he came across the story. I think this was one of the stories August added to the book: how young Snow White caused the Evil Queen pain. That is why Henry was curious to discover it."That’s how you know you’ve really got a home. When you leave it, there’s this feeling that you can’t shake. You just miss it." Neal Cassidy
