Did anyone see the spoilers from the Palefest found this on another forum.

"Cora is indeed the miller's daugher. We see her with a rather drunken looking father. She delivers flour to the castle. A princess trips her and then claims she just fell and that Cora ruined her shoes. The king makes Cora get down on her knees and appologize. The princess is very snooty. The king says her name is Eva- so I assume this is likely Snow's mom, although she certainly doesn't act like the woman we met in "The Queen is Dead." There is a prince too- Prince Henry. If he is Eva's brother and is indeed Regina's father...Regina and Snow are cousins!  This part I don't understand as how would Eva be Queen, and Henry just a Prince didn't they prefer men over women back then?   Plus the fact that Snow's Dad would have recognize Regina if this was Eva's brother.

The next scene is Regina and Cora. Regina comments that their plan will not work now because the Charmings know they have the dagger and Henry would be able to trace the blame to them. They are tapping the phone listening to a conversation between Emma and Snow and discover Rumple is injured. (There is a very funny moment when Cora knocks the device off the desk and says "I don't like what the enchanted box is saying!") They look at the dagger and realize he is more than just injured, he is dying. His name is disappearing from the dagger. Cora says they must change their plans...she is going to stab Rumple and become the dark one. If Rumple dies on his own, the dark magic just desolves. Regina questions her mom's motives.

Then we are back to young Cora. She is at a costume ball in a fancy dress with a mask. She dances with the king, but he recognizes her- she has telltale straw on her. She claims that she can spin straw into gold but she won't give him a share of it now. He announces to the whole room that if she can do this, she will marry Prince Henry. If not, she will die. And there we have the original Rumplestiltskin tale! Again, wasn't the Prince Kingdom broke and Snow's mother kingdom wasn't broke?
