I was confused by one small detail in the Season 6 finale. The Evil Queen dies, or fades out of existence protecting everyone when the Black Fairy's curse engulfed her castle, but shouldn't that have affected Regina as well? It seems as if the Queen died, but Regina survived. Based on what we learned from Jekyll and Hyde earlier in the season, Regina should have perished too.

Or did that all change when Regina transfered some of her love into the Queen's heart? Did her balancing out their lightness and darkness nullify that rule somehow?

Did I miss something? Or should Regina have died too, then resurrected along with the Queen when Henry's storybook was restored?
