So I guess a blood curse has its flaws because of the DNA technicality. Great episode, overall. Poor Regina can't even hug Henry because he doesn't remember her yet. Rumple is alive, but he doesn't appear to have any memories of the past. I look forward to seeing Rapunzel next week.
Have you seen Wicked, the musical? Elphaba the Witch, tricks people into thinking that water will kill her, so that she can fake her death and run away with her secret boyfriend, the Scarecrow. Only an 8 year old would fall for that shit, right?
"well, I heard about that whole water thing, but decided to hedge my bets by using an equal part of hydrochloric acid. suck it bitch!"
My favorite is Regina is Harry's adoptive mother and his half sister or grandmother or something silly like that. I think Wicked Witch is lying because she stole blood from her sister for what reason then? She could just use her own.
Zelena's not lying about being Regina's half-sister for a couple of reasons: 1) We have confirmation of the reality of the relationship from Lana and Rebecca 2) Zel broke the seal on the crypt before her monkey attacked Regina and scratched her
I loved that line about Prince Charming and Snow White too! It made me think of the time Wash in Firefly complained about something sounding too fantastic and his wife calmly reminded him they lived on a space ship. I thought the WWOTW escaped the Mayor's office because Regina opened the door which broke the seal in Storybrook. I just hope we can save the dwarves, et al who were turned into flying monkeys. Am I the only one who thought Robin Hood was going to turn into the WWOTW last night? Do we really think Snow sent the message to Hook to bring Emma back, and if she did it still begs the question about HOW he came to Storybrook, much less how he crossed the boundaries without losing his memory.
Ah, you are too fast for me, I already corrected myself after seeing big daddy's post, but thanks. Reread mine to help explain the other things that are puzzling me.
It's Henry, not Harry. Regina is Henry's adoptive mom and stepgrandmother. And as people also pointed out, it was "Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter," not Snow White and Robin Hood's daughter. That plot will be explored in Season 5.
Here's Henry's family tree according to the Once Upon a Time Wiki. As for the episode, I really enjoyed it. I did not see the relationship between Regina and Zelina coming. I also loved the reaction when they found out the Wicked Witch of the West was real.
^ Zelena hasn't yet been added to that tree yet, but she needs to be. I know there are some people doubting the reality of Zelena's statement that she's Regina's half-sister, but Lana and Rebecca both confirmed the reality of the relationship in an interview.
She has to be a blood relative of sometype to weave between the blood magic. So, either her father was not the Miller, there's some time travel dealio going on that Zelina is descendant of Regina... I read, probably here, that Cora might have rutted with Rumplestiltskin, and Zeliena is the bundle of joy produced from that union. Which would make her Neal's half sister, and bloodaunt to Henry, which makes Regina the Half aunt to her adopted son Henry.
It occurred to me that some people might find that family tree confusing, so here's a simplified version: Xavier and the Miller are Henry's Great-Great--Grew Grandfathers Cora is Henry's Great-Great Grandmother Leopold is Henry's Great-Great Grandfather Regina, Eva, and Ruth are Henry's Great-Grandmothers Zelena is Henry's Great-Aunt Malcolm and George are Henry's Great-Grandfathers James is Henry's Great-Uncle Snow and Milah are Henry's Grandmothers Charming and Rumple are Henry's Grandfathers One note: Hook isn't part of the family tree because he never married Milah; he simply 'shacked up' with her
I keep thinking there's something to Zelina's statement about helping with Snow White's child. I know there's some reasonable thought that Z could be Rumple's daughter - which would explain how she could bring him back from oblivion/death using some more blood magic. But just a random thought - could Cora have hooked up with a member of Snow's family to produce Zelina? Making Snow and Zelina related which is why Z is interested in Snow's child?
Possible, anything is with this show. But, heh, everyone's always interested in Snow's Child and Grandchild
No one liked the line from Hook: "So it’s harvest time and you don’t remember the planting? That’s bad luck.” I know I don’t have it exact. It’s in regards to Snow being outtohere and neither Snow nor Charming not remembering doing the deed.
