I dare say that tripping a girl who then married the prince Eva was suppoused to marry (wasn't it something like that?) would be enough for Eva to understand that she could not judge. Anyway, maybe we are missing some of the story, and it will be explained later in flashbacks.

As for Cora and Rumple, I don't think it was true love. Cora just wanted power, that's what really seduced her, and i think Rumple was just attracted to how dark Cora could be. He was also trying to make future come true, he needed Regina to be born (btw, is regina finally his daughter or not? cos it does seem like there was an opportunity for Cora to get pregnant, right?) Anyway, I doubt that, had it been true love, Cora would have been able to rip off her heart. Eva was never meant to marry Prince Henry. It was implied, that she was one of the people who was ahead of him.... Henry and Cora were fifth. However, watching someone take out their anger on innocent people, because a royal humiliated them; is enough to make anyone mature.

No.... Regina is not Rumplestiltskin's daughter. Cora said, no child she would ever have would be his. Rumplestiltskin only collected his "payment", when he got Regina to banish Cora to Wonderland. Regina was always meant to be his apprentice. To me Rumple manipulated Cora to fall in love with him. He saw the future. He had to make Cora - a super control freak - see that love is weakness, power is everything. He knew that Cora would choose power and one day kill Daniel, event that lead us all to evil Regina. Exactly what Rumple wanted.
