The group headed to Regina's office at the City Hall when Regina pulled out the hat box that she kept from Jefferson, the Mad Hatter. Regina opened the box but stopped before she could pull out the hat.
"How did you know about this, Dreamy?" Regina asked, looking at her daughter.
Dream did not say anything when she pulled out a playing card from her jacket pocket. There was a white rabbit on it with a Queen of Hearts number.
"You knew?" Regina asked when Dream nodded, putting the card back into her pocket.
"I only knew when this was left on the windshield of my car. I didn't know what it meant until now." Dream sighed when Regina walked into the room.
Regina looked up, looking at her. "Did Henry really ask you to protect me?" Regina asked when Emma stopped across the table from Dream.
"Yes." Emma nodded when Regina gave her a small smile.
Regina returned to what they were doing when she pulled out a dusty top hat.
"The hat. You had it all along." Emma said when Regina pretended not to know.
"What do you mean?" Regina asked when Dream sighed to herself.
"That's Jefferson's hat," Emma said when Regina continued to play dumb about the name.
"Who's Jefferson?" Regina asked when Dream sighed.
"Mom--" Dream went to say, but the door opened.
Mary Margaret and David walked in with five brooms.
"Are we gonna sweep the creature into the portal?" Dream asked when David sighed, holding back a smirk.
"She's really got your sarcasm, Regina..." David said, looking at Regina, who just smiled at her daughter. "Torches. For when it comes back, Dream. I know it's old fashion, but so am I." David said when Dream nodded.
"So, how does it work?" Mary Margaret asked Regina.
The five of them headed to the city council meeting room. Regina led the way, holding the hat.
"It will open a portal to our land..." Regina said, placing the hat in the middle of the floor. "All we have to do is send the Wraith in there," Regina said when the others followed.
"Oh, yeah, just that." David scoffed, sitting the brooms on one of the tables.
"I don't understand..." Mary Margaret said when she handed the lighter and broom to David. "I thought our land was gone." Mary Margaret asked, joining Dream's side.
"It is. But sending it to a place that no longer exists... Well, that's banishing it to oblivion." Regina said, about to spin the hat to start the portal when the lights flickered again.
"I think it knows we're here..." Dream said when Mary Margaret grabbed her hand.
David only got one broom torch lit when the five of them started towards the double doors.
"Regina..." Emma went to say, but Regina knew what she was going to say. "I'm trying," Regina said, still trying to work the hat.
David handed Mary Margaret and Emma a broom torch while Mary Margaret moved Dream behind her. The doors flew open as they heard the creature roar. David stepped forward when Emma and Dream stayed by Regina.
"Mom..." Dream said, sounding scared.
"I know, Dream." Regina sighed, still trying to get the hat to work.
