"Regina..." Gold paused when he looked at Emma. "She's planning to strike back against your mother." He explained, watching Emma sigh to herself, holding onto Henry.

"What is she gonna do to her?" Henry asked, taking a step forward, but Emma kept him close to her.

"Well, she didn't say... Probably because our daughter was around."

"No. You don't get to come in here and just drop a bomb like that." David scoffed at him. "You're gonna figure this out. And you're gonna help us." He threatened, making Gold smirk. He was not so easily scared, being the Dark One. 

"And why should I?" Gold asked him, holding back his amusement.

"Because, aside from us being family now, Mary Margaret saved your life..." David said as Gold looked by the door, seeing Mary Margaret lying in bed. "Now, you owe her a debt. And you always pay your debts, don't you? You're gonna help us stop Regina." David said, making Gold sigh to himself.




Dream went home while Regina stayed in the vault, looking for something. Dream walked out to sit under her mother's apple tree, which was a place where she would sit and think when she did not feel like going to the docks. Dream leaned her head back on the wood when she looked over, seeing Graham. "Graham?" She asked, seeing him walking out of the house. 

"Your mother said you would be out here." He said, moving to sit down, but she moved to see herself, sitting on the other side of her.

"Yeah, well, I do my best thinking here." The other version of Dream said when the first version remembered this conversation with Graham. 

It was just a month before Emma came to town.

"What're you thinking about? Your interview?" He asked when she leaned her head back while the real Dream moved to stand up, watching the memory while she teared up. 

"I had a weird dream... And it just got me thinking." Dream shrugged when Graham nodded. 

"Want to talk about it?"

"Nah... It was one of those weird dreams where I married a prince. Had a nice big wedding... Guess it was because I fell asleep with Henry, reading his book with him." Dream chuckled when Graham chuckled with her. 

"Might be. What was this prince's name? Charming?" Graham asked, making Dream chuckle and shake her head. 

"I remember hearing Killian. But I have no idea where it came from. But he was handsome." She chuckled when Dream watched them fade away.

"Killian..." She mumbled to herself when she tried to think about the dream she had a whole year ago. "You've got to be kidding me." She scoffed when she remembered why she thought Hook looked so familiar when she first saw him. 


Meanwhile, Regina was rummaging through her mother's chest when she could not find what she was looking for. 

"Where is it?" She asked frantically to herself. She found a locket, and when she opened it up, she saw a photo of Cora and another photo of Regina. She sniffled her cry before looking through more chests. She got frustrated, picking up a blue dress from Cora's trunks. She pulled on it, ripping it a bit as she screamed out. When she threw it to the floor, she found a rolled-up piece of paper. She opened it up, reading the words that were written on it. "Thank you, Mommy." She smiled, realizing it was exactly what she was looking for.
