Episode Quotes

Cora: You have to trust me, Regina. I know best. Love is weakness, Regina. It feels real now. At the start, it always does. But it's an illusion. It fades, and then you're left with nothing. But power - true power - endures. And then you don't have to rely on anyone to get what you want. I've saved you, my love.
Regina Mills: The trial starts tomorrow, and it won't be a long one. And you'll be sent out of Storybrooke for good, and I will never have to see you again. Oh, I want to enjoy this while I still can.
Mary Margaret Blanchard: Enjoy what?
Regina Mills: Justice.
Mary Margaret Blanchard: Justice? Watching an innocent suffer?
Regina Mills: You've always seen yourself that way, haven't you? Innocent.
Mary Margaret Blanchard: [crying] I am innocent! I don't know what this is about, I don't know what I ever did to you, but whatever it was, Regina... I'm sorry. I truly am.
Regina Mills: Apology not accepted.
Mary Margaret Blanchard: Please. Don't do this to me. I don't deserve this. I did not kill Kathryn!
Regina Mills: Oh, I know. But you do deserve this.
Cora: Now clean yourself up. Wipe away your tears. Because now... you're going to be queen.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (continuity error): When Gold is talking to the mayor and the camera angle is over his shoulder, he bites the apple he is holding. In the next shot, he tosses the unbitten apple to her.
  • Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the Storybrooke Daily Mirror newspaper that Emma is reading at the docks, Kathryn Nolan's name is spelled "Katherine"
