I loved this episode! Lots of Regina! Woohoo!
I loved all Regina & Emma scenes. Their dynamic is always so enjoyable to be watched.
So our prediction (snow queen was a person who run emma's foster home & sydney betrayed regina and side with the snow queen) did become reality.
Maybe Regina's magic was red because red is the color of the fire (regina is the queen of fire) ?
It doesn't make sense that Regina had a photo of a private moment of "Regina & Robin", and Emma had a photo of private moment "Emma & Neal" --> Didn't the writer think that it didn't make sense?
I'm interested to know why the snow queen needs regina's mirror. She said "the person who trapped you in here imbued it with much dark magic". Why does snow queen need a mirror that was imbued with dark magic?
