    Your Pretty Friend dive into Season 2, Episode 16: "The Miller's Daughter," where we finally learn the answer to the question that's been on everyone's mind: why is Regina's surname Mills? This week, Elaine and Mads spend an inordinate amount of time trying to remember the word "potential," Mads gives up on hiding the naughty words, Snow White's mom gets a drive-by character assassination, and we ask why there is this so much forced romance with Rumpelstiltskin when his skin is one big gross scab. Enjoy. Also, special thanks to our sponsor: Mads' bookshop, The Weary Wanderer! Visit wearywanderer.com and buy some books or something, idk.
