Maybe she takes turn kissing each one of them at a time.

Captivating

This thread is getting diiiirty.

Belleislove

It does that sometimes.

RockNRoll

Oh... this is nothing. Trust me. Considering some of the things we've talked about, this conversation is like the Disney channel

Randysgirl

I know, right? lol Belleislove hasn't even turned the hose on us yet today...

Out of the Woods

I'm at a work pause and soon people will look at me for laughing out loud alone for this

Wow the Snow Queen would sure get around if she kissed every character. I wonder if she would rank whose the best kisser

CityGal

Nothing as of yet.

T'Lynn

Now that's an episode I could get in to.

Austenphile

Especially if they all wore leather.

Randysgirl

What's that I hear?

CityGal

To the bolded part, I get that. I understand the Regina is hurt and it seems from her POV repetitive from the same family, so if the character needed to lash out I could live with it.

But what irks me the most is the need for Emma to beg Regina for her friendship! Emma doesn't need Regina to be her friend. Emma doesn't need to show forgiveness. If the parallel to teen!Emma unwilling to forgive Lily and subsequent present lesson learned, then it better be a foreshadowing to Hook's withholding actions and secrets from the previous episode that might arise in the future, certainly not from Regina.

Emma and Regina need to amicably co-exist for Henry and the town's sake because clearly Rumple is a common foe to them both. Yes, the women should work together out of necessity as well as Regina mentoring Emma in magic, but friends? Uh, no.

The relationship between Regina and Snow is an entirely different scenario, and as another poster (Randysgirl, I think) wrote, Snow and Charming have repeatedly shown forgiveness to Regina. So the mere fact that it is Regina who is, now, unable or unwilling to treat Snow/Charming's daughter in-kind speaks volumes about the redemption arc her character still needs to undertake.

Sorry to her fans, but I shed no tear for Regina.

Your leather radar never fails you does it?

T'Lynn

Never fails.

I think my only complaint about this episode is that it didn't really advance the plot much. Except for the brief moment with the Snow Queen.

But that is also kind of a good thing. I am glad that they spent the time to show Emma and Regina establish where they stand now. Really, this is the first time in someone's life that Regina has had a friend that is choosing to fight for her. I think Emma sees that she could have been Regina if she had let herself give in to anger. It obviously reminded her of the time she didn't give someone a second chance. And the promo makes it look like they are working together in the next episode.

Yes. I have to say, if they even dare to show that Emma can't forgive Hook after she is begging Regina to be her friend then I don't know what to think.
