You know I just realized that this was the first time Regina ever heard her mother laugh... I'm heartbroken all over again. Lana and Barbara were so perfect!

[@creativewriter3887]

She heard her mother laugh, but it was more of a scoff or a sardonic form of it. You're right.. she never heard her mother laugh from a place of JOY and LOVE. Which makes what Snow did all the more terrible and underhanded... even though Snow had reasons .. she lost her mother, her friend Lancelot, her maid/friend to Cora, her father to Regina, not to mention dozens of villagers loyal to Snow., 28 years of her life and Emma's childhood and young adulthood to the curse.. I mean, she was driven by intense loss and pain to curse Cora to get back at Regina. All because the Chumpings as I call them or "the two idiots" as Regina called them, didn't follow through on their promise to Regina which would have prevented the curse and all the garbage that would follow. But then, we would not have seen Regina become Queen of the United realms because she EARNED it.. :)

[@Mirror371]

Amanda1994 you aren’t any better with your nasty attitude stop bullying people

[@morningglory3644]

I think this has been what Regina has been wanting to hear for the longest time, "You were enough!" Cora became power hungry because she did not see her self-worth & value. Because she came from a place of scarcity & "not enoughness," she made Regina feel that she wasn't enough as she was also. In Cora's delusional mind, she thought she was doing all of this for her daughter when she was really doing it for her ego. Personally, I think this would have been Cora's happy ending…knowing that she didn't have to be more than she was or do more than she needed to, that she was enough already & that Regina would have loved her like a daughter loves her mother if Cora had not put up walls against her. Obviously, her heart was in the wrong place, and was only in the right place when she was dying. All Regina wanted from her was to be loved unconditionally.

[@skurinski]

pretty sure Cora not having her heart is the main reason for all those things she did.

[@disneyinuyamon]

[@Lucky-ok2sj]

Lana Parrilla is such an amazing and awesome actress! She is so talented! When this happened this scene sorta made me change my mind about Cora...but I still hated her. Regina had finally gotten her love from her mom and SNOW HAD TO RUIN IT AGAIN. This is one of the many reasons Snow is my least favorite character.

If Cora had become the dark one, Cruella and Ursula would have never visited Storybrooke for waking up Maleficent.

1:47 me when the teacher assigns homework on Christmas break

[@advaitramesh164]

I hate how Gold was like, “I did nothing.” Sometimes I just hate his loopholes. He was the one who introduced Mary Margaret to the candle in the first place. He was the one who talked Mary Margaret into doing it in the first place. Yes, Mary Margaret was the one who actually cursed Cora’s heart and tricked Regina into putting it back inside of Cora. Both Gold and Mary Margaret are responsible for Cora’s death, not just Mary Margaret. Anyway, I do think that this scene was very well acted by Lana Parrilla and Barbara Hershey, and was quite a sad scene. Regina has always loved her mother but has never felt that her mother loves her back the way she wants her to, but for the first time in her life, she feels her mother’s love and realizes that her mother really does love her, and she loses her mother just a minute later. However I just want to add that I am just glad that Regina didn’t end up killing Mary Margaret or Gold for what they did because this is what allowed Regina to become a better person in the first place. I also want to add that I am glad that this doesn’t end up being that last time Regina sees her mother; she sees her again in the Underworld.

[@heartbeat8706]

Advait Ramesh no one ever said he isn’t a manipulator

[@MercedesHollingsworth]

Cora pushed her. She found out cora killed her mom then before she could react killed someone else snow cared about. Cora knew by doing that it would push snow over the edge. So really her own death is her fault for tormenting snow the way she did.

[@advaitramesh164]

+brandythephantom25 SNOW MUST DIE

[@apoorvatadepallibeauty]

I agree with you somewhat. The death of Daniel wasn't technically Snow's fault, she was 10 years old at the time and she genuinely thought she was helping Regina by telling Cora about the relationship. Snow had no idea Cora would react that way. But, in this scene, Snow had a choice, she's a grown adult who can make her own damn decisions, so I understand why Regina is pissed here.

[@strawberrypeppermint4185]

This cult my god.

[@jamainegardner4193]

Go back and watch Johanna's death. Regina is basically responsible for taking her mother, father, daughter, true love, several of her friends, her nanny and tortured her for 28 years. This is the only action Snow has taken in retaliation, and then there's tye fact even the show thinks Snow was right to do it later on since Season 4 retconned the darkness in her heart to be from killing Maleficent's daughter.

if cora had become the dark one, would the dagger be able to control her since she is without a heart. the dagger should be like a direct link to the heart and the reason it can control a dark one should be because the magic uses the principle of controlling the heart indirectly.
