Heidi Elizabeth Marcum

Thank you so much for another episode reaction for Once Upon a Time... The Miller's Daughter! There are many twists and even so much more emotion that comes from this episode than I ever thought could be possible from an episode centered around Cora of all people. This episode isn't one of my favorites because it is so centered around Cora. However, it's because of the last fifteen to twenty minutes of this episode, that makes up for all that I hate about Cora. It doesn't make up for all the evil she's done and I still hate her, but these last few minutes of this episode makes me actually feel sorry for Cora just a little, and so much more for Regina. And these minutes makes all the storylines with Cora that I really didn't care much for worth watching. Between Snow's, Regina's, Cora's, and Rumple's storyline in these last minutes... amazing! I was absolutely on the edge of my seat the whole time. Also... the casting for this show is for the most part, phenomenal for all of our characters. Especially the actors chosen to play the younger versions of certain characters, including Rose McGowan as young Cora, and Bailee Madison as young Snow, etc... As well as Princess Eva and Prince Henry. They're not always perfect, but I think the casting for each character throughout this series is the best I've ever seen in any show, especially those centered around characters that are beloved from their stories created long before they were brought together in Once Upon a Time. And in regards to Princess Eva... yes, she is Snow White's mother, which reveals that Eva eventually had come to grow into becoming the kind woman and gracious Queen we knew her to be in the previous episode... The Queen is Dead, when she was most certainly a stuck up snob in her younger years. Also... Prince Henry, as you also figured from the scene in the end when it shows Cora introducing their child to their people... is Regina's father, who Regina murdered by ripping out his heart to cast her curse shown back in season one's, The Thing You Love Most, and who is seen in multiple episodes since. Now, whether or not we knew before this episode how long Cora was without her heart in her chest... I don't really know for sure. Back in episode nine, The Queen of Hearts... Hook travels to Wonderland to rip out Cora's heart on Regina's behest, but when he attempts to use his hook to rip it out, Cora asks him if he is foolish enough to believe she actually keeps her heart where everyone else does, revealing that her heart was not in her chest then. However, we didn't know at what point in time she took out her own heart before now. And in this episode, it's finally revealed that Cora was heartless before Regina was even born, which explains why Cora was able to be so cold and cruel towards her daughter and her husband Prince Henry, which we also learned in this episode that Cora never loved him at all. She only married him for power and so he could raise her up from being a miller's daughter. And sadly, we saw that while their marriage was an arranged marriage, Henry did genuinely seem to like Cora, and possibly even loved her at one point too. So I really feel so sad for him. However, any emotion Cora could have felt towards Regina, was taken from her the moment she removed her heart, because she didn't want to feel any emotion whatsoever. This episode is cleverly written, but because I hate Cora outside of her being really good at being evil, I didn't feel too much emotion like most people do. Not for her. However, I feel terrible for Regina when she loses her mother after having been the one to unknowingly kill her, as well as for Mary Margaret upon seeing the guilt and fear on her face when she struggles with the choice Gold placed in front of her, and in seeing the consequences of that choice she made. I absolutely love this part of the storyline, despite how heartbreaking it is for both Regina and Mary Margaret. As for the magical chalk and Emma's protection spell being broken apparently so easily when Cora couldn't break the second barrier just as easily... it's because Cora and Regina combined their powers together, making their magic twice as powerful. Cora was on her own when trying to get into Gold's back room. Plus... Emma is new to conjuring magic from within her and so her magic is therefore most likely weakened in spite of her being the Savior. Emma needs time to strengthen her power. I also love, love, love the brief moment between Gold and Belle when he tells Belle on the phone that she is a hero, and a woman who loved him despite the monster he was. And even though she doesn't remember him or who she is, she feels his love for her and feels heartbreak for him. Really quite beautiful. And even Neal's moment with his father is sweet too, even though their redemption towards one another has a very long way to go. I am happy that Neal at least acknowledges that he is still angry with Rumple though too. Neal has run away from his father his whole life from the moment Rumple let him fall through that portal shown in season one's episode, The Return. And we saw in Manhattan how deeply angry Neal is with Rumple. However, Rumple is dying, and I can understand that Neal doesn't want to see his father die like this, especially under the control of his dagger. And with that being said... I don't really care much for Cora's backstory and her lust for the power of the dagger. Her lust for power and darkness. And I really hate that she had a relationship with Gold. Their scenes together are beautifully acted by both Robert Carlyle and Rose McGowan. However, I feel that their relationship is twisted and even disturbing. While their scenes together were phenomenally acted by both actors, I have trouble believing that a part of her could love Rumplestiltskin because she always lusted for higher power and was able to choose all of that power over love. Even if she did have to rip her heart out in order to do so. She still chose power over Rumple beforehand. "Love is weakness"... just like Cora said to Emma at Lake Nostos in Queen of Hearts, like Cora instilled into Regina her whole life, and like the King said to young Cora in this episode. But I love the scene with everyone at the masquerade ball. The gowns and the masks were spectacular, and like you too... I absolutely love the music playing throughout this scene. I love seeing masquerade balls in any shows or movies because they really are quite exquisite and beautiful. Overall... this episode was well written and the casting for young Cora was perfect. However, Cora has always been a villain I have just hated. She's a great villain, though not as good as the Evil Queen. And as a whole character, I've never liked her because she's so cruel, especially towards her own daughter. And I just don't care much for her overall storylines or backstory. However... the ending as I've said is absolutely phenomenal, so well acted by everyone in these scenes, and these last twenty minutes of the episode makes up for what I don't like about it. And that final look Regina shows on her face as she glares up at Mary Margaret upon realizing what really happened to her mother and how she was the person really responsible once Mary Margaret runs into the room and stares down at Cora in shock by what she had done... goosebumps. Regina's dark glare is absolutely amazing! :) Oh... and I also love David throughout this episode, as he strives to try to help Mary Margaret in every way he can. And I feel so sad for him upon seeing his face the moment he understands he's too late to stop his wife from making such a terrible mistake when he comes running up to her outside of Regina's vault. So sad. Thank you again! I'm looking forward to your next reaction, so until then...
