Regina came face to face with the Wicked Witch and got the surprise of her life on Once Upon a Time Season 3 Episode 13.
Yes, her half-sister is green but that won't stop the Evil Queen from going on a "Witch Hunt."
Our TV Fanatics Jim Garner, Michelle Calbert, and Robin Harry are joined by Gareth from Once Upon a Fan below to decide what the Wicked Witch has in store for Regina and whether Henry should get his memory back...
The Wicked Witch plans a fate worse than death for Regina. Any ideas what that might be?
Jim: Being back in Storybrooke near Henry without him remembering her seems like a pretty good start.
Gareth: I think she plans to take away everything that Regina loves, including Henry. She wants Regina beaten and broken, although I think there is more to it than just the fact that she was jealous that Regina got to cast the curse. I'm interested in who Zelena's father is? Could it be Rumple or Snow's father, Leopold? Just when you thought this family tree couldn’t get any more complicated or dysfunctional!
Michelle: Taking her son away by erasing all memory of Regina is already pretty awful, I'm having a hard time imagining what could be worse than that for Regina.
Robin: Regina's lost more love on this show than anyone else; I can't imagine anything worse she could go through. Maybe Zelena's going to try to kill Henry. But what that would have to do with Snow White's baby and Rumpelstiltskin is beyond me. Anyone else think Rumpel is Zelena's father? He and Cora did have kind of a thing...
Any ideas what happened to Neal?
Jim: Didn't they think that Neal might now be a simian of the winged variety?
Gareth: I thought maybe the Wicked Witch might be holding him hostage, but that cage had Rumple’s name on it. Is Neal still in another realm? Was he killed while back in the Enchanted Forest? Has he turned Dark? Is he a flying monkey? So many possibilities.
Michelle: Definitely turned into a flying monkey. But I haven't figured out why, unless it's just so Zelena/the Wicked Witch can build an army in Storybrooke.
Robin: I'd say he's a flying monkey. Very soon to literally become the monkey on Emma's back.
Would you rather Henry remember his family or stay in the dark?
Jim: I REALLY want to see Regina give him a kiss on the cheek and it bring back all his memories. I think it would show everyone how much she truly loves him.
Gareth: I quite like the role reversal with Henry and Emma at present. Long term though, we need Believer Henry back.
Michelle: He absolutely needs to remember his family. Sure, they've been through a lot but I think it would be much worse not to remember all the people who love you.
Robin: He absolutely needs to remember. He spent the last half of the season being borderline annoying, he can't spend the rest of the season being useless!
What was your favorite quote from this Once Upon a Time Season 3 episode?
Jim: I loved Snow and Grumpy's exchange about the witch: Are we talking east or west? One you drop a house on, the other you toss a bucket of water at.
Gareth: Grumpy: Are we talking east or west? Regina: Does it matter? Grumpy: One you drop a house on, the other you toss a bucket of water at.
Michelle: When Emma showed surprise that the Wicked Witch was real, Hook replied with: "Says the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming." Classic!
Robin: This one... Emma: "That sounds a lot like the monster that attacked me in New York." Hook: "You mean the monster you were going to marry." OUCH.
What was your favorite scene?
Jim: I adored seeing Regina and Robin Hood spend time together. I really want to see Regina redeemed and for her to get her happily ever after with him.
Gareth: Loved the showdown between Regina and Zelena. Zelena's threats seemed to put fire back into the Evil Queen. She now has something to focus on and somebody to destroy! The scenes with Regina and Robin Hood were excellent as well. Also loved the scenes between Emma and Regina. I can totally see why SwanQueen has such a loyal following.
Michelle: I really liked the scene between Emma and Regina after we found out they were working together. I've been so hoping that we're going to see Regina bonding with her "family" and for a minute there, I thought she had gone all evil again. Granted, I know she basically promised to go Medieval on her half-sister, but I don't mind if she uses her bad side to battle evil.
Robin: I absolutely loved the revelation that Regina and Emma were working together, because I was already yelling at the TV when they all turned on Regina in the town hall. That was the best of surprises.
