adelinawp:outlawqueensituation:Can we please talk about this scene from ‘Queen of Hearts?’Regina hasn’t used magic at all since Emma and Snow disappeared save for having to kill Daniel. She has been trying, hard, to change and be a better person. The episode right before this, Henry tells her that he’s proud of her, that at least she’s making a sleeping curse to help now rather than use it for something bad.And then they find out Cora is coming back.That is legitimate fear in Regina’s eyes as Rumple starts telling her that absolutely Regina has to use her magic again. She has to break her promise to her son because Cora will destroy everything including her grandson because that is who she is. Rumple pushes every button and terrifies Regina. That is what is on her face in this scene.I’m not going to argue that what he said wasn’t true - we know what hell Cora wrought, but he took a woman who, when it came to her mother, was still a scared little girl, and said every single thing to terrify her into doing magic and deciding it would be better to seal Emma and Snow’s fate. And then he tried to throw a cherry on top with a ‘by the way, if we do this it kills off Emma and hey that’s great for you.’Regina: Well, what if we’re wrong? What if that portal opens up, and it’s not my mother? What if Mary Margaret and Emma do defeat Cora, and go through it?Mr. Gold: Well, I believe in this world, they call that a win-win.Regina: How exactly is that?Mr. Gold: If we stop Cora, you are protected from your mother’s wrath. If, on the other hand, we stop Snow and Emma, well… You become the only mother in your son’s life, now don’t you? Look, magic is unpredictable in this world. If something unfortunate were to happen while you were attempting to help… Henry could hardly blame you for that, could he?Regina: No. I can’t lie to him. I am trying to be a better mother.Mr. Gold: You won’t be able to be a better anything if Cora comes through. And if she does, she will be a threat to everyone – including your son. So, if you truly want to be a good mother to Henry – to protect him – if you want to be better, prove it.Gold for me is in the same category as Hook. Mad manipulators. Never liked him. -- source link
