Noneofyourbusiness wrote: The original goddess Ursula is supposed to be dead and gone, so it was the sea witch Ursula threatening Regina through the statue. Regina didn't know there was a real Ursula with the iconic octopus features of the goddess who had claimed her title. Remember, the showrunners referred to the Queen of Darkness Ursula as a character who had been introduced in Season 3. The change from Yvette Nicole Brown to Merrin Dungey is just recasting. It's not a coincidence that both actresses are African-American; that's supposed to be the voice of the living Ursula coming from the statue. Well since Merrin will have several more episodes, I hope this is being explained.
