1. The backstory from Episode 15: "The Queen Is Dead" will play a part in this episode, too.

The backstory from TQiD was Snow and her mom's death, which Cora was involved in, so of course it has to do with Cora's episode.

2."There's no coming back from murder" Mary Margaret to ? "There's no coming back from death, either" Maybe David to MM?

3.Love — familial, romantic, and otherwise — has always been at the heart of OUAT, and nowhere is that as true as this episode.

Neal/Rumple, Neal/Henry, Cora/Rumple?

4. The flashbacks in this episode provide one of our favorite revisions of a classic fairy tale yet, perfectly melding the story we know from legend with the characters and history we know from OUAT.

Rumplestiltskin=the classic story

5. "Magic is about emotion" is a lesson multiple people learn this episode.

Hmmm. Maybe Cora learning magic from Rumple?

6. An unexpected declaration of love is sure to upset some fans.

Cora/Rumple? Belle/Someone?

7. Rumbelle shippers have something to look forward to, but they might shed a few tears.

Hmmm. No idea.

8. A normally noble character shows an unexpected manipulative streak.

Hmmm. It has to MM or David.

9. Always think your deals through — especially when you make a change. Cora's deal with Rumple.

10. We thought "Manhattan" was Robert Carlyle's best performance to date, but we might have to update that to "The Miller's Daughter." Lana Parrilla (Regina) also does a fantastic job. Heck, most of the main cast gets to show off some serious acting chops this week.

Yay!!!
