Also, sorry but I'm calling BS on Regina's tear not being strong enough, I don't care how "fresh" Henry's was. Regina watches her own mother murder the man she loves right in front of her and that's not a strong enough heartbreak, but Henry getting politely rejected by a kiddy crush he's talked to like twice is way more powerful? Give me a break. Even if Regina does have a new partner, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say her devestation and trauma still majorly trumps Henry's friendzoning. I get what you are saying but I do believe Emma when she said she is actually over the real pain that came with the loss (in this case murder) of a loved one. I mean she has actually grieved through her loss with the whole original DC. It turned out her plan for vengence would leave a hole but it has been filled not only by Henry and Robin but by Emma and Snow and Charming and other people. Her her love for these people have changed her loss to a painful memory but not as strong. I mean we did see her tear almost work so it is clear the memory is still hard on her.

Henry's tear came from more then just being polietly turned down, it came from him feeling Violet could love him for being just him. He has also heard stories about how love hits you without words from both his grandparents and even Emma and Hook so he prop felt more love then he spoke out loud. Although I have to say the tear he shred after finding out Emma betrayed him must of been stronger but there you go lol.
