‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3 spoilers: More on Cora’s first pregnancy, Rose McGowan

Did Zelena succeed in her quest to try and take Regina’s heart on “Once Upon a Time“? The answer to this may be a little more complicated than you would first assume.

So with that in mind, let’s push forward and discuss some of the first official details from “Bleeding Through,” the next new episode of the show to air on Sunday night. While you had some footage that was made available in the first promo, there actually wasn’t that much in there that was important. The synopsis below is actually much more revealing, given that it teases the first appearance of young Cora, discusses a new story for Belle, and also makes it clear as to why Cora may have abandoned the future Wicked Witch in the first place:

“After Zelena steals Regina’s heart, Regina casts a spell so that she can speak across the realms to her dead mother, Cora, to discover the truth about why she abandoned Zelena, and Belle stumbles across what Zelena’s ultimate end game is. Meanwhile, in the Fairy Tale Land that was, young Cora is duped by a man claiming to be a prince and finds herself alone and pregnant. But a chance meeting with a real prince could lead Cora to the royal life she’s always craved, but she must keep her pregnancy a secret or risk losing everything.”

This all sounds very interesting when it comes to furthering the story along, but we hope that there is some time spent on individual character moments as well. We actually felt like “The Jolly Roger” was a fantastic episode, even though we have realized that not everyone across the internet fully agrees with that.
