Especially if they've kidnapped Henry! Not sure how she'd get her revenge though - seems like just killing them would be too easy but neither of them seem to have anything they love (as Regina's already killed Kurt). So she'll be limited in her choices. I suppose they care about each other so she could torture one and make the other one watch but that Tamara seems to be a cold fish so Regina'd probably be better torturing her and making Greg watch as he seems to genuinely care for Tamara, i'm not so convinced of the other way round! Do we really think that's the end game, though? I think the whole point of Greg and Tamara (mostly Greg), is to show the consequences of magic and to show that Regina's actions actually do have backlash. She's realizing that everything that's happening is her responsibility, her fault, and I can't really see her having that epiphany, moving towards redemption and then turning around at the end to get her vengeance and people who, really, are just trying to get their own revenge. One very clear message the writers have been pushing from the beginning of the series is that revenge doesn't pay off... it's a vicious cycle that doesn't end until someone decides to end it... not by getting their revenge, but by giving it up, letting it go.

If Tamara and Greg do wind up biting it, I don't think it's gonna be Regina who's responsible...

Good point! I totally agree with the premise but is she really showing signs of realisation? I think you're right that that's where the writers are taking us (and would be the game changer for her and Henry, and allow her to be 'part of the gang' when they're battling other villains/big bads in subsequent series) but the only evidence (that I can think of) is in the promo for next week where she says it's her fault that TGreg have the failsafe trigger.

I can see from 'The Evil Queen' where she's about to make up with Snow only for them to stumble on the massacred village, that we're seeing the consequences of her actions, but I'm not convinced she is. As she says in 'Welcome to Storeybrooke(?)' when Snow goes to her - she never learns!

Maybe Hook started the cogs turning when he said about people not liking them cos they're too set on revenge and how 'revenge is an end not a beginning' and I do hope so but I'm just not really feeling it from her yet!
