Skirting around the theme of love and sacrifice in “The Queen is Dead,” Once really gets to the heart of the matter in The Miller’s Daughter, an episode which serves a timely reminder about why it’s not such a good idea to rip your own heart of out of your body and store it in a box for eternity.

Do you know the Harry Potter follow -up fairy tales of Beedle the Barde? There's one about a Warlock who stored his heart in a box for about as many years as he lived. As he opens the box to show his heart to someone he cares about it has rotten and hair grew all over it.

Although I'd love to see the consequences Cora has to suffer due to her decision I wonder about another question: How did Cora even manage to rip her own heart out of her body? The process seems rather painful and you'll have to get your hand inside your own body, don't you? Twisted?
