‘Once Upon a Time’ season 6, episode 7 video: The Evil Queen’s ‘perfect day’
For most people, the idea of a perfect day is getting to have a really good breakfast, seeing some friends and family, and having a relaxing experience that makes you grateful to be alive. For the Evil Queen on “Once Upon a Time” fame, apparently this perfect day involves the prospect of ripping out Snow White’s heart and then showing it to her gleefully.
While she does not quite get there in either of the two sneak peeks below from Sunday night’s new episode fittingly-titled “Heartless,” we do get more of a sense than ever that this is precisely what we’re building towards. The Evil Queen also gets to spook Snow White (and us) in one of the creepier, more dastardly scenes that we’ve seen from her yet. In watching these previews, one of the questions that we do have is precisely what the endgame is going to be for the Queen. Let’s say that she gets the heart of Snow White and then manages to defeat her. Where in the world do we go from there? What’s the next move? Is this one of those things where the thrill of the chase is so much more valuable than the end result?
As for the sneak peek specifically focusing on the relationship between the Evil Queen and Zelena, much of our fascinating with it comes out of the some fact that we’re looking at someone here in Zelena who really hasn’t been too directly connected with anything so far this season, and maybe waiting for the time to include herself. To an extent, we get the sense that the Queen feels like she has her sister in her pocket. Is that really the case? We cannot say for certain, but we do feel fairly confident that one thing the Queen could do to push her away is remind her, even unconsciously, of some sort of relationship that she has with Rumpelstiltskin. Much of the jealousy that Zelena had towards Regina so many years ago is a part of what made her wicked in the first place.
Knowing this show, we have a sinking feeling that the Queen’s perfect day won’t be anywhere near as perfect by the time we get to the end of it.
