Seeing as we are going to see Cora during her reign as the Queen of Hearts in this episode, I think the Severe Nurse would make an excellent Dutchess (from Alice and Wonderland). Although, I love the suggestion that she is Briar Rose, she would be the right age, looks like she could be Aurora's mother, the rose could have been a hint, it makes sense that we would see Briar now with Mal being important in this arc, and it fits that we saw her in season 1, as Mal was introduced then, and Sleeping Beauty was referenced by Regina. I just hope whoever she is, we find out something more about her this episode, and don't just see her as a nurse in one small scene. Fingers crossed.
