Once Upon A Time's classic theme of good versus evil reaches peak in the fresh episode of the TV series. The highlight of the show is Emma Swan's pivotal conclusion to the battle which is contrary to what most fans hoped for.
In the latest episode, Sympathy For the De Vil Emma shows no mercy for Cruella and ends the dog whisperer's life. However, the story does not only center on Swan's engulfment to darkness; rather Cruella de Vil's words shows fans a glimpse of her past conspicuously similar with one widely-known fairy tale character, Cinderella.
Many fall for Cruella de Vil story at the onset of her story. Her narrations point her to be a young innocent girl fleeing from two angry Dalmatians which eventually paw her. Later it is revealed that, they her "evil" mother sent them to capture her after Cruella escaped the attic where she lives. It is also revealed in the story that her suffering starts as soon as her father dies. It is not until she is 20 years old that she is freed from the attic by Isaac. Isaac helps her relish the life taken from her by her spiteful mother whom she accuses of poisoning her dads. He also discloses to him a magic pen that allows its possessor to control any animals for her and keep them from hurting Cruella. De Vil has something else in mind and runs away with the pen.
As shocking as it goes, Isaac learns from Cruella's mother the truth that it was Cruella and not her that killed all of her husband. Furthermore, she had a Dalmatian killed and makes a coat out from her fur. Angered by how easily she fell of Cruella's words, he looked for the villain and fight over the pen and ink. The ink spilled on the antagonist hence creating her two-toned hair.
Back at the present, the death of another evil paves way for the birth of the more malevolent, Queen of Darkness. Storybrooke gets darker and viler in Once Upon A Time that fans should not dare miss.
