Flashback: Camelot - Six Weeks Ago...
Mary Margaret and Lancelot were making their way through the forest together, "You never told me what happened between you and Guinevere," Mary Margaret said.
"It's complicated. But what's happened is in the past. It doesn't matter anymore," Lancelot said.
"It does if you still love her... Do you?" Mary Margaret said.
"Yes. I'll forever love Guinevere," Lancelot led her towards the vault of the Dark One, "We're here," Lancelot said.
"The vault of the Dark One," Mary Margaret said and Lancelot opened the vault by using the symbols on the door.
The two made their way through the vault into the room that was light and plants, "This place. I've been here before. I had a vision. I thought I understood what it meant, but maybe I was wrong. Maybe it was always about Emma becoming the Dark One... But I guess it really meant someone I love becoming the Dark One," Mary Margaret said.
"What did you see?" Lancelot asked.
"Emma ripped out my heart and crushed it," She exhaled sharply, "We have no time to waste. We have to make sure that Arthur can't get this dagger," Mary Margaret said.
"Thia altar is the place to secure it, but it's shielded by a tasty protection spell," Lancelot said as he gestured to the stand where the dagger was once held.
Mary Margaret sighed, "Well, if it's meant to keep the dagger safe, then maybe a person holding it can be allowed past?" She said and she stepped forward.
"Wait," She looked at him, "It should be me," Lancelot said.
"You've done enough," Mary Margaret said.
"You need to let me do this, Snow," She hesitated a little, "What is it? Don't you trust me?" Lancelot asked.
Arthur walked in, "Apparently not. And that's a decision she's gonna regret," Arthur said.
"Arthur!" Lancelot said as he went to draw his sword.
Arthur pointed his sword at Lancelot, "I wouldn't. Excalibur's blade is broken. This one works just fine," Arthur said.
"You followed us. So I was right," Mary Margaret said.
"Pity your husband didn't listen when you tried to warn him," Arthur said.
