04x20 - Mother

[ Enchanted Forest - Past ]

(The Evil Queen's carriage goes back to the castle. The Evil Queen sees a group of people on her land.)

Regina: Stop the carriage.

(Regina and her father get out of the carriage.)

Regina: Good day, citizens. Enjoying the meadow?

Pastor: Indeed. It seemed perfect for our wedding ceremony.

Regina: It is lovely. But see, the thing is, these are part of the royal lands, and I don't recall giving you permission to marry here.

The groom: We didn't know. We had just... Uhh!

(Regina rips the heart of the groom.)

All: Oh!

Henry: Your majesty. Could you be overreacting because of what day it is?

Regina: Don't talk to me about this day, Daddy.

Isabelle: But you need the support of your citizens, your majesty. To alienate them would be short-sighted and weak.

Regina: I'm not weak! I was going to spare you, but someone just made me angry.

(Regina crushes the groom's heart.)

Regina: Next time there's a wedding, book the church... Make your way home. I have someplace to go.

(Regina leaves.)

(At Daniel's grave.)

Regina: Mother.

Cora: It's been too long.

[ New York ]

(Regina and Robin have a drink in a bar.)

Regina: So...

Robin: Yeah.

Regina: So you moved on... With her.

Robin: That's not fair. You understood. You agreed.

Regina: Understanding it and seeing it are different.

Robin: That's hardly the most important point here. My son. Zelena's not gonna keep wearing that glamour, and Roland's not gonna understand where his mother's gone. For him to lose her again...

Regina: A forgetting potion. Just take him back to before the fake Marian showed up. He'll lose time, but it's better, right?

Robin: Yes. Thank you... God, poor Marian... And Zelena and Loki... Just killing her like she meant nothing so they could play out this sad farce with us. I just... I wanna... But I can't. I mean, I-I knew that things didn't feel right, but I just didn't know why.

Regina: I'm sorry. This was all about me. For them, this was all about... Making sure I never get my happy ending.

Robin: If by happy ending, you mean us, then... At least, in a way, that's possible again. Look, it's messy, I know, but... Between us...

Regina: Is a huge obstacle. And it's going to get bigger every day, and not just for nine months either. It's a lifetime she has cooking in there. No matter what happens from now on, there's going to be this child. You're tied together in a way... In a way, we'll never be. I'm such an idiot to think that life wouldn't kick me in the teeth again.

Robin: I hear you. Just...

Regina: Just what?

Robin: What do we do now?
