Once Upon A Time-Episode 18 Recap

Dear Blog Readers, I know I have been absent for a long time but I promise to start writing again ASAP.
I'm heading off to the Europe in two weeks and you can see all my adventures HERE
Now for Once Upon A Time! Oooh boy, Once Upon a Time finally tells us why Regina has her hate on for Snow White and Emma makes some discoveries of her own!

Once upon a time Regina wasn't an evil killer so much as she was an innocent young woman in love. You know she's innocent because she has long hair in a braid, which is like, a symbol of goodness or something. She loves horses and is not so interested in getting married even though, her mother kindly reminds her that she is on her way to spinsterdom if she doesn't get married soon, you know, as good mothers do. Soon we learn that Regina is in love with the stable boy, because, duh. Obviously he is going to die. Regina's mother gives several good speeches about how she worked so hard and got out of poverty and her daughter is going to be RICH. MWAHAHAHAHA. Clearly Regina's mother is the source of all her problems. Look, Once Upon a Time is not a feminist show. The end. If you want feminists, watch Buffy.  Meanwhile back in Storybrook Emma is busy trying to find out who really killed Kathryn. Apparently Mr. Gold had something to do with it, which is like, HE IS THE SHOWS VILLAIN, of course he had something to do with it. Sydney shows up with some tulips because that's what every prison cell/ sheriff station needs. Clearly he is spying like a dirty little er, spying person. Despite her claims at being able to tell when someone's lying, Emma can't even tell a very very obvious lie when it's looking her in the face. She comes to her senses and is all, "I don't know what's going on, I can't even tell when someone is lying to me". At least she knows. Anyway, Mr. Gold suggests that Mary Margaret have an interview with Charles Widmore the district attorney for, er, some reason. The DA asks some really surprising questions (not) about whether MM wanted Kathryn gone. MM cracks after two questions and is all "of course I wanted her gone". Geez, MM, that's why you don't date married guys, just an FYI for the future. Back in fairytale land Regina and Stable Boy are whining about how shitty life is when suddenly a girl on a horse goes by yelling for help. Regina uses her horsemanship skills to rescue the child version of Snow White. I have to give a round of applause to the casting directors because holy crap, they found a perfect actress to cast. She looks exactly like Ginnifer Goodwin. Unfortunately, even little Snow White is an insufferable snot. Regina has barely saved Snow from impending death and her dad,  the king is proposing marriage to Regina, someone worthy of raising his daughter. Um.....sure she saved her from imminent death but that doesn't mean Regina wants to become a mother to your snotty ten year old. Sheesh. Regina runs off to tell stable boy who is sympathetic but then, who should pop up in time to see them smooching but Snow White. Snow White is about to run off and tattle but Regina tells her she is in love with Stable Boy and NOT TO TELL ANYONE. Everyone except for Regina knows how well that is going to go.  Back in Storybrook Emma is complaining about her ability-to-tell-when-someone-is-lying deficiency  to August who tells her she needs to go back and see if she missed anything. She heads back to the scene of the crime where she finds a bit of shovel just sitting there! Bingo! Emma has a pretty good idea who this shovel could belong too. I have a pretty good idea too. She gets Henry to tell her when Regina is in the shower and breaks into the garage where, lo and behold, there is a shovel with a corner missing. She leaves to get a warrant so she can go back for the shovel. True, most of my education on the justice system comes from television but I'm pretty sure that you need a reason to get a warrant, a reason other than not liking someone. Regina is one step ahead of them though any by the time they've returned the shovel is gone.  It makes me wonder if she put it there in the first place. Emma heads back to Sheriff station and smashes the tulips where she finds a bug in the bottom of the vase. Someone has been listening in on them! What a shock! Back in Fairytale land Regina's wicked mother is prying the truth of petite Snow White. Basically she tells Snow White that she doesn't want to be alienated from her daughter, which Snow White totally falls for and spills everything. Cue the killing! Regina's mom marches off to the stables where she gives everyone a very worrying speech about doing anything you need to do for your children. We know this means that Stable Boy's time is up but, unfortunately, he hasn't seen enough TV to know this and just lets himself be magic-ed to death. Next thing you know Regina has her hair in an up-do and is being fitted for a wedding dress for her impending nuptials to the king.  Petite Snow White marches in and pours some salt on the wound by asking about Regina's wedding to the Stable Boy. Regina tells Snow White that she will actually be marrying her father. Snow White's father that is, not her own, that's just nasty. Snow White then confesses to blabbing to Regina's mother. You know what? I kind of wish Snow White had done it on purpose, she seemed so smug the whole time it was a bit difficult to believe that she made an innocent childhood mistake. We know that this is totally the beginning of Evil Queen Regina and I kind of can't wait to see her put the bitchslap on her own mother! On the plus side, girlfriend looks awesome in her wedding dress! Back in Storybrook a bloodcurdling scream from Ruby announces that something has been discovered...and that something is Kathryn! Apparently living without her heart, as people do on Once Upon  A Time.  I would question the logic of this but what the hell, this show throws all common sense and good judgement to the wind so who cares.
