Date: April 20th, 2014 Episode Title: Bleeding Through Written by: Jane Espenson & Daniel T. Thomsen Podcast Number: 221 Shownotes can be found at: onceuponatimepodcast.com/221 Apple basket (covered up. Death? Secret?). The handle looked like a broomstick. Zelena appears already inside. Wearing a green leather dress. Like Rumpel did a lot. “A gift” One Witch giving apples to the Evil Queen who also gave apples away. Emma at Granny’s Bed and Breakfast. What is Zelena drinking? Red apples are so sickly sweet. Green apples. Sharper. Bitter. Sisterly advice. You really don’t appreciate what you have, do you. If you want your Superpower to be Envy. Z – Envy is just another word for ambition. That’s not true. Z – I strive for things, I work – you cast a curse that was just a fancy form of running away. With every advantage, you turn your back on every opportunity in happiness. You don’t task risks, you don’t live your life. It’s such a waste. That’s what Regina said to Emma. I can see why our Mother was so disappointed in you. Disappointed in me? She gave you away. Do you feel it, sis? He’s taking your heart. (Feel, like was mentioned in the storm cellar. Feel Dark Magic) Rumpel and Robin. Roland in danger. My arrow never misses its mark, but Rumpel changed the target. I don’t want to, I really don’t. Stopping arrows – Blue Fairy when Regina was going to be executed. The Dark One got Regina’s heart. New Regina. Not anger at the moment or the people who didn’t follow orders, but thought ahead and planned that way. Regina vs Belle. I need your help. Belle calls Regina out. Bookworm’s got teeth. In the past. Regina rallies Belle to help her rescue Rumpel. Regina, “I’m sorry Belle. I really, really am.” The candle. Not that, Liberace. The double-sided candle. It’s power’s gone, now. It’s just a relic. This isn’t about how my Mother died, it’s about how she lived. Did the candle capture her soul? Cora, like Milah. You work in a Tavern, but you move like a lady. Act like what you plan to be. Fake it til you make it. Prince Johnathon, a trickster. Many storybook characters hide who they really are – Aladdin. Colonel Corn in the hen house. Why did he asked her to marry him? Meet me at the crossroads. 2 weeks. Cora keeps him company for a ring of straw. Emma warns Hook about the apple’s in Regina’s house. Hook and the non-kiss thing has really bummed him out. Leopold is a name that people will make fun of. Eva as a boy? Special tea. Don’t drink it!! It’s a deadly poison to summoning the dark vortex. We have to talk to my Mother. Zelena has a box with the hilt of Courage, the Heart and an empty box for Brains? Walsh is jealous. Zelena will pluck Rumpel’s brain? Rumpel’s not Zelena’s doll to dress. Screaming in agony or much more pleasant. Choose well, doll. To talk to the dead, you need the murder weapon and the murderer. Focus on Cora. Twilight Zone’s Tower of Terror. Houdini’s séance joke. Hook bumping the table. What happened? Cora waiting for her Prince at the crossroads. Johnathon. A place we may have seen before that looks like the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco and in DCA. What significance does that place hold? My friend said it was a trick. The gardener. You lied to me. You took my heart, my virtue, my good name. You practically forced it into my hand when you thought I was a Prince. A harlot is a harlot.
