Watching the promo I have the feeling that once again Regina will spend some time and energy trying to save Marian, who tends to cheat death. Marian is fortunate to have so many people that care for her (or if not exactly doing that, care for her husband enough to not deny him a request) I wonder, how long this is going to work. I'm convinced that Marian has to die sooner or later.

Watching the promo and seeing Marian I was also reminded of a scene from Disney's 2007 film Enchanted. Heartbroken, Giselle eats a poisoned apple and falls asleep, probably dying at midnight. Lying there on the sofa in Regina's house Marian reminds me of Giselle. If TLK is the solution to the problem, it's likely that Roland is the key. Every Dark Curse was rather broken by the evidence of love between a child and a mother. A Land Without Magic Emma kissed Henry A Curious Thing Regina kissed Henry.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that the writers will  use the Grimm fairytale Godfather Death at some point of Marian's story. Although it's very sad I really like this fairytale.
