One of the things I got from last night's was the differences between Cora and Eva. Their younger selves are similar in that they're both pretty selfish: both of them were only looking out for themselves in the flashbacks. However as they got older, one of them continued down a path of selfishness, power, and revenge while the other became a better person, changing in order to, at least partly, make up for her past mistakes. I feel like there's a lot of classic good vs evil symbol here; the good person is able to learn from their past and change for the better while the bad one stays the same. Cora literally set up her daughter to marry her former lover just so she could better her station in life (I was so grossed out by this). Also like Snow said in the episode, I'm really interested to learn what caused Eva to change.
