Hyperion Heights, a fictional neighborhood
of a fictional Seattle, Washington,
is the latest "amnesia curse" setting in this show,
now in its seventh season.

The Fairy-Tale-Land characters are all mixed up with
everyday-world people, which was not the case in
"Storybrooke, Maine", where the first season opened.

One of the creepiest things about the Hyperion-Heights iteration
of Cinderella's wicked stepmother,
is the situation of the stepmother's two natural daughters.
One is not the favorite and she is her wicked mother's "go-fer."

The favorite is dead and laid out in an ornate coffin.
I don't recall THAT from the Cinderella story.

The Wicked Stepmother (actor Gabrielle Anwar)
has retrieved the coffin, all the way to her headquarters as
a big urban developer/landlord [think Madam Trump].
The previous episode ended with
Wicked Stepmother, the ornate coffin,
and a mysterious woman magically taken captive.
The live captive appears to be a Fairy Tale Land denizen
but has not been identified.
Wicked Stepmother is ranting and raving about how
the captive woman is required to resurrect her daughter.

I mean, yuck.
