* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Regina chewing out Emma. We're meant to see Emma taking Violet's heart akin to what Cora did to Daniel, but it plays out more like what Hook did to Aurora (who keep in mind gave Aurora her heart back, when he no longer needed it, unlike say - Cora, Regina, or Gold). Nor does it help that Regina didn't have an alternate solution when her own tear failed (not that there was any reason to assume it would fail). And keep in mind Regina in seasons past was perfectly willing to wipe Henry's memories and kill off the Charmings despite Henry's protests. So what really gives her the right to chew Emma out? The implication is most likely that she has since realized those actions were wrong (she has certainly done nothing like them again, and has openly made up with Mary Margaret) and is thus appalled to see Emma taking after her/using her as an example, not to mention what Emma did was a deplorable thing to do and she did deserve to get called out. Some of those actions are also ones Regina claimed not to regret when breaking free of Pan's tree, but in the season and a half since then she may have come to rescind that declaration somewhat. Still, overall her current position is...questionable.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Snow and Charming get cured of Arthur's brainwashing very quickly. It does make you wonder what the point was.

* MoralEventHorizon: What Emma does to Violet is certainly treated as such InUniverse by both Regina and Henry. Whether the audience agrees depends to some degree on how much sympathy they have for Regina and can agree she [[{{Hypocrite}} has to right]] to [[WhatTheHellHero call Emma out]], but the ways in which she mirrored what Cora did to Daniel, how she used Regina's own suffering as inspiration, and that she did to Violet the same thing we saw Cora do to Aurora, Regina to Graham and Belle, and Gold to Hook (all unequivocally shown to be repugnant acts)...certainly does not put Emma in good company.
