This sneak peek is exactly what a battle should look like. EQ taunting the heroes and the sword harms her (which isn't surprising as Hook was able to harm Hyde and Regina harmed her before).

Regina's usually such a slow spellcaster (well, she's slowest, but not exponentially slower). Seeing EQ literally hightail it out of there shows that she knew she couldn't take any chances.

Still think the Robin mentions over these two episodes are not enough to hint at "Robin's Return of Glorious Praise".

I knew the sword would be able to hurt EQ because it can't just be ordinary. Maybe it's something that cut immortal ties like Excalibur. Still random.
