Cora being back in the EF could have shown how she abducted Henry and it would have been cool to show her turn the mirror into a looking glass and walk through it into Wonderland and hand the box to her older Knave and say put this away while she poofs herself into her Queen cown and place the red veil on her face as she sat down.

I loved how Lily asked Mal how she could allow Charming and Snow to take her without a fight since Mal blasted at them but missed since a parent should do everything to protect their child.

But overall the episode was good but it could have been better. While you have great points I think you missed the purpose of the flashback. The flashback is about Regina, not Cora. We are seeing what Regina sees and what affects her.

Lily was right about Mal. She didn't really do much, but I'll let that slide since she just gave birth.
