Huh? She starts really breaking once Will is directly threatened.


* You think the Jabberwocky preying on fear just for kicks was bad? Try seeing her do the same thing, this time with an actual intent. Poor, poor [[spoiler:Anastasia]] never stood a chance. And note that even with [[spoiler:her love Will's fate hanging in the balance]], the Jabberwocky breaks [[spoiler:her]] so utterly [[spoiler:she can't even spare a thought for Will's well-being]].

** The Jabberwocky's cavalier attitude towards the fact that she's pinned to the ceiling with a sword right through her. She seems to see being imprisoned and impaled for a hundred years as more of an ''inconvenience'' than a defeat. Also, "I'm not worried about getting inside your head. I'm already there."

* As if [[spoiler:Lizard]]'s seemingly senseless death wasn't bad enough, this episode gave her a significantly worse fate: [[spoiler:having her two eyes pulled out of her skull just for Jafar to view her last glimpses]].
* Nyx, the Guardian of the Well of Wishes. Apparently one of the writers thought the series was lacking a StringyHairedGhostGirl.

*** Just about every scene between Jafar and the Red Queen makes you feel terrified for the latter's safety given how Jafar is not at all subtle about how threatening he is. It almost calls to mind an abusive relationship at points. Until the end when the Red Queen gets leverage over him and demands he stop treating her like crap. YouGoGirl.
