![]() ![]() He also bids the Red Queen to be honest with him and explain why she didn't tell him about the Knave of Hearts, which clears up a little confusion I had from the last review as to whether or not the White Rabbit told both of his employers about the Knave's presence in Wonderland. Jafar silently saunters in and sasses the queen about maintaining the discrete nature of their alliance. Anastasia was probably trying to buff away callouses earned from the hard life she endured before coming to Wonderland, signs of humble beginnings. Perhaps that explains that uncomfortable pedicure from the early episode. ![]() Knowing that the Red Queen came from humble origins, it makes more sense that she enjoys this pampering so much. Present day Wonderland and we see the Red Queen being primped and polished by her twin Ziggy Stardust attendants, who we learn are in fact the Tweedles. The boy finally reveals himself to be Jafar, and Amara agrees to being his magical tutelage in the morning. The boy hates the sultan with "the fire of a thousand suns" a phrase I haven't heard outside internet keysmashing sessions in a long time. He is the monarch's bastard son and has been cast aside to the gutter. The boy elaborates he wishes to enact revenge on the sultan. This boy desires to be feared like the sorceress and wants to use magic solely for revenge, a remark that grabs Amara's attention. He asks the sorceress to teach him magic, specifically asking to learn "dark magic", already setting him apart from other magic wielding characters in the Once Upon a Time universe who simple sought the mystical arts and fell to the Dark Side by accident. Amara answers and reminds the boy that if he knows who she is then he knows what she's capable of. ![]() The boy sneaks past the gate and timidly knocks on the door. Later on that night, we see a lone house in the desert. Without saying a word, we the audience have learned that this is a woman of great power, capable of ruthless and terrible things. After a beat, Amara breaks her gaze and continues to stroll down the deserted marketplace while the masses cower in her wake. The boy ignores the commands of his master and continues to stare down the sorceress, showing no fear as they lock eyes. Her name is Amara and we soon find that she is a sorceress, indicated by her magically conjuring a coin in a puff of smoke as payment for her purchases. The master of the forge begs the boy to turn away, that this woman is someone to fear. We see a young woman with a haughty demeanor stalking down the center aisle, going about her shopping. They clear the main walkway, practically jumping into barrels of apples to avoid what's coming. Suddenly, the patrons of the marketplace begin to panic.
