Anyway the idea of one thing (Regina meets Robin in the tavern) triggering so many more just intrigues me so much. I think they will play with that a little in the finale. Oh I know the tavern incident didn't turn her evil. But Tinkerbell was hoping Regina would see she could still find love. If Regina had, she would have been happy and very possibly would have abandoned the path of vengeance. It would be like when Glinda offered Zelena a seat at the sister witches in Oz and Zelena had chosen to stay there and rule over the West rather than growing envious of Dorothy.
