I just re-watched The Queen is Dead and The Miller's Daughter and figured out the key fits for how they fit into Bleeding Through. So I watched Cora's speech to Eva's corpse. Though we all thought it was still overly harsh even after watching the Miller's Daughter, it wasn't until Bleeding Through, that Cora had a much more real reason to hate Eva. Then their encounter in the Miller's Daughter was basically there to show how Eva rubbed Cora's loss in her face. There was something else I figured out too. In the Miller's Daughter Rumple made a deal that he get Cora's firstborn daughter. She smiled at that idea or seemed intrigued. Apparently she had already given up her first child. Actually she could probably care less about her first daughter Zelena. For all Cora knew, Zelena could have been dead. Cora then figured out she would just tell Rumple after she got the magic lessons to defend herself, when it all went down. Bleeding Through was written a year after the other two episodes and worked perfectly with the other two. I just needed to get this all out before I forgot or fell asleep. Feel free to comment.
