OUAT – The Queens Heart Vault

In episode 7 (The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter), we see that the Evil Queen had a vault filled with hearts and some  other things we still need to figure out. When she commissioned the Huntsman to kill Snow White and bring back her heart, she intended to add the heart to her collection in the vault.

When the Huntsman did not bring back Snow White’s heart, the Evil Queen queen took his heart instead and placed it in the heart vault.

In Storybrooke, we see that Regina has brought this heart vault with her and hidden it underground, where she takes Graham’s heart and crushes it.

In this episode (Hat Trick), we see the Evil Queen doing everything she can to get into Wonderland to retrieve something. She asks Jefferson’s help and they both go into Wonderland.

As they get to Wonderand, we see this mausoleum-like structure that clearly belongs to the Queen of Hearts.

As we see the Evil Queen open the doors to the mausoleum, what we see surprises us.

The Heart Vault!

We see the Evil Queen retrieving a box from the vault and quickly escaping.

We realize that before she exits Wonderland, it was her father’s heart that was in the vault.

Who owns the heart vault? Who stole it from who? What kind of rivalry is going on between the Evil Queen and the Queen of Hearts? Why was Henry Sr.’s heart in Wonderland?

OUAT – Regina’s FTL Castle vs Henry’s New Playground

From the OUAT Fan Podcast Deputy Desk:

During the town council meeting, Regina reveals that she is constructing a playground inspired by a drawing from Henry’s book. When we see the finished playground, it was similar to Regina’s castle in Fairy Tale Land.

Here is a side by side picture 

Did Mr. Gold find another access point (like the sunken mine) to the Evil Queen’s castle, and that’s why Regina built the “playground” in the middle of the forest? Is there a doorway in the playground somewhere that leads down to Regina’s castle? Or another heart vault room? Or another secret underground room that the strange skeleton keys open.

OUAT – Closeup of Regina’s “playground” plans

Here is a screencap of Regina’s playground plans:

Very interesting design, isn’t it? From this top view it looks like something is bursting up from underground, something sinister that is.

It also looks like parts of it has stairs. What other place that Regina has been in Storybrooke has had stairs? Hmm, I wonder what other use Regina has for this “playground”?

What do you think? Please let us know in the comments.

OUAT – What do these strange keys from Regina’s office unlock? Update: Partially Answered

From the OUAT Fan Podcast Deputy Desk:

When Emma and Sydney are searching Regina’s office, they uncover a set of strange and almost fairy tale like set of keys in one of her drawers.

What do you think these keys unlock? Underground tunnels from her office to other places? What if there are tunnels that connect to the boarded up Library? Does Regina have another vault or another secret place to hide items from Fairy Tale Land? Or maybe they are just something to throw Emma off the track of discovering Regina’s secrets?

What do you think these keys are for?

Tell us what you think in the comments below.

— We have been alerted that at least one of the keys was used on a certain box. A box in Fairy Tale Land. A box in Fairy Tale Land that had two deadly asps in it:

Now, what do the rest of the keys open, Hmm?

OUAT – Heart Vault Comparisons

We saw the Heart vault in the Fairy Tale world:

but here is the Storybrooke version of it:

I thought is was the same one at first (like we saw a shaft connecting the two worlds in “That Still Small Voice”), but this looks like she transferred the hearts to a Storybrooke replica of the Heart Vault.

We will be talking about what we think this Heart Vault is all about in the next Once Upon a Time Fan Podcast.
