In 3.03, Tinker Bell used pixie dust to lead Regina to her soulmate. In 3.12, Regina and Robin Hood bonded while taking back her palace. In 3.18, Regina kissed Robin for the first time. With Marian possibily dumping Robin, in the premiere; it makes sense to have the next flashback show, how the Evil Queen captured her.

I think it would make more sense if it was in White Out, otherwise the premiere would have to many plot lines.
