Episode 16 of 22

You have no right to be in here!

Oh, sorry I invaded your privacy while you're actively trying to kill me and my family.

^Yeah, Regina is pretty self-absorbed, isn't she?

Was it hinted that Rumpy was Regina's father, or did I just misread that signal?

Meghan Ory (Red) is most likely leaving the show after this season. She was cast as a lead in Intelligence on CBS, which stars Josh Holloway. The Pilot is in 1st position, so if it gets picked up, she's leaving.

Damn, she's my favorite character on the show.

On the plus side, you will see her on screen a lot more on the CBS show then she is on Once Upon a Time. Seems they go multiple episodes with her missing and then she gets 1 or 2 scenes when she does show up.

True, she hasn't been used much lately on OUAT and the new show sounds like something I might like if done well.

That's pretty much the case now. I think she was only in one scene in yesterday's ep.

I enjoyed last night's episode. I'm trying to figure out which character was more duplicitious/sneaky: Rumple for making Snow curse Cora's heart or Snow for manipulating Regina into (inadvertedly) killing Cora.

I thought the exact same thing. They certainly implied that, especially with the last flashback.

I think it's an easter egg laid by the writers that could be picked up down the line, if they go in that direction.

Killing off Cora is a real loss for this show, as she plays the evil villain much better than Regina.

She won't be leaving. They worked out a deal (since Disney/ABC owns both shows) so she can do both.

She no doubt was thinking she wasn't doing enough on OUAT anyway to justify being a regular cast member.

Also, I have to say Rose McGowan really had all of Barbara Hershey's inflections down to a science in playing Young Cora.

Regina is Henry's Uncle
