Summary

Now that the once-dead sorceress Maleficent is back from the ashes, the threat against the Charming's secret looms. In attempt to know what the Queens of Darkness are up to, Regina pretends to be the bad girl she once was that she worked so hard to get away from. Can she get past the temptations of darkness, or is the taste of doing dark magic again enough to make her revert back to her old, evil, ways? Meanwhile, in the Enchanted Forest of the past, Regina found a new friend in Maleficent when she helped her remember who she was. Listen to our Enter the Dragon initial review as we talk about the return of the Evil Queen, Maleficent, August, and something incredibly powerful!

I thought this episode provided some great answers to questions

1:30.6

1:52.7

actual sleeping beauty or was her mother the actual sleeping beauty? That kind of stuff. We got those

1:58.3

cool answers in this. Yeah. That was kind of weird.

2:02.5

Well, I liked it. I liked the Regina Maleficent stuff. I thought deciding that everything

had happened with Aurora's parents as in, okay, well, let me say I didn't dislike it.
