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 else risk losing everything.
Two months later, we find a now-pregnant Cora soaking wet in the rain and her straw ring coming apart, upset that Jonathan never returned.
However, this union would start to unravel when Jonathan visits Cora in the gazebo and threatens to blackmail her because she hid the truth about the unborn baby and he has become greedy by using her.
Cora decides to buy his silence by giving him riches in return, not knowing that Eva, who just arrived to the palace, has been eavesdropping on their conversation.
Eva then tells Leopold to check Cora's pockets, which he discovers is laced with jewelry she had planned to deliver to Johnathan.
Cora is then escorted out of the palace and Eva consoles Leopold, promising that she'll be able to give him an heir that is pure as snow after they are married.
In the present day at the Mayor's home, Zelena has come up with a way to distract Regina, first by offering her green apples, then initiating an argument between them.

Regina and Mary Margaret, in a private meeting, finally make a start in putting aside any differences they had in the past, bonding over the fact that their mothers weren't as perfect as they thought.

The second is to ignore the minutia -- or try to, anyway -- and simply take the show at face value, accepting that everything in it is, to some extent, made up as its writers go along (and that this fact isn't necessarily a bad thing)."
