Good catch!

Not sure about that. When Regina was talking with the Queen of Hearts in wonderland there was a LOT of animosity. At the time that led me to believe she knew this person well. I don't think Regina would bring the QoH a rose or any other gift.

I think I'm sticking with my first theory of Cora being QoH. Before I read the nurse theory, I associated her with cogsworth (it was the hair...) and the rose definitely fits in Belle's story, too.

I agree with what everyone is saying here and also think Cora was the Queen of Hearts.

The last we saw August he had turned back into wood. He couldn't move so someone must have taken him from his bed and moved him to somewhere else before Gepetto got there.

After the spell was broken though, he was laying in the bed and blinked his eyes like he was coming back to life.

Now Cora has a spy with Snow and Emma going for the ink that they were going to use to stop Cora.

I hope that Hook can be redeemed somehow....but taking her heart? I don't know.

He sure is handsome though.

The second heart was Aurora's. Hook took it. I guess lots of people are learning magic in FTL. Now that Cora has the heart she can control Aurora. Aurora wasn't even speaking at the end. It was Cora speaking into the heart and the words came out of Aurora's mouth. Apparantley Cora can now hear everything Aurora can hear now that Aurora's heart is in her possession.

Who wants to bet they aren't going to get the ink from Rumpel's cell and they will have to seek out a certain Mermaid who can find this special squid who has the ink?

I didn't like Mulan last night either.

And we didn't see a hole in her chest like we do when hearts have been taken before. Not a spot on her dress either. I feel like that wasn't Aurora's heart and there's more to that.

I'm done with Mulan, too.

And my DH also called it disco inferno. LOL!

Me too, I feel like there is more to this part of the story........

yes, many people, as others have already mentioned, I'm a bit late.

Yes, me too!!!! Where is Pinocchio?????

I really love this show, it is easily my favorite on TV right now.

[Leigh123]

OMG this is sooooooooooooooooo good tonight!

[Tinkerdreams]

I cannot wait until January. That's the worst curse they can put on us!!
This episode is great!!

[Gorechick]

Doh! Ok, so we still don't know what happened to Pinocchio, if Neal will show up, how/if Aurora and Mulan will get to Storybrooke, I'm confused about Belle, and I feel a little bad for Regina.

Great episode. So many answers... Don't want to rush December but come on January 6th.

I agree!!

[Maleficent53]

I felt very sorry for Regina tonight when everyone walked away going to dinner and left her behind. I am sure her anger will come out in a future episode....

I called it weeks ago that the giant's bean was going to come into play. Obviously Hook and Cora used it to arrive in Storybrook.

What was the importance of showing the clock tower? Is the time shown important?

Love this show! Will miss it greatly in the next several weeks.

[Kurby]

Jan 6th???

We'll still be in Disney then.

I wonder if I can change my over settings now if they aren't going to show another episode before we leave

Sometimes saving for one week just isn't enough

Was the fact that Regina gave Cora a rose (when she was supposedly dead) telling?

The whole Queen of Hearts thing....

I like how they are "moving things along" seems like we aren't having to wait for things to happen. Now we know how Hook was able to take Aurora's heart, where do you suppose Cora keeps her own?
