Magic has come to Storybrooke.

All thanks to the Dark One.

With the return of her powers, Scarlett transports herself to see the one person she misses most.

Mr.Gold's Pawn Shop.

As she opens the door, the little bell on the top rings, announcing her presence.

" I'm afraid we're closed," Mr.Gold says as he walks out from the back.

" Hello, papa."

Gold looks up, and sees his daughter standing in front of him. He's seen her every day for the past 28 years... but now she finally remembers.

Scarlett slowly walks up to her father with tears in her eyes. With his hand, Gold gently cups her cheek as he looks into her eyes. His eyes also begins to water

She rushes to hug her father, and he hugs her back. The two cry in each others arms, finally reuniting after 28 years.

" She took him away from me, papa," Scarlett whispers into her father's chest.

Gold gently pets his daughter's hair as he holds her in his arms.

" It's alright, sweetheart... I'll take care of everything."

Gold, while not liking the man his daughter loved, wanted to protect her.

By now, Regina has been locked up in the Sheriff's station. The townspeople thought it was best.

"Magic is different here, dearie", Gold says, as Regina try to pick the lock with her magic.

" I noticed. Quick question: why does Scarlett have her powers and I don't?" Regina asks.

" Well, first of all she's much more powerful than the both of us. And second of all, I granted her powers to come back to her more quickly", He says.

" I assume this is all your doing."

" Most things are."

" Get to it, Rumple, what do you want?You here to finish the job?"

" No, no, no, you're safe from me. Although, you did break my little girl's heart."

" She was in love with a pirate. Hook-- your enemy. I thought you would be glad to hear the one handed pirate was no longer a problem."

" Yes... but she really was in love. I saw it in her eyes. It's the same way I look at Belle. Scarlett is not going to forgive for taking Hook away from her, you know that. But I made a promise to someone that I won't kill you."

" Who could elicit that from you? Our daughter hates me, so it couldn't be her."

" Belle."

" She's alive?"

" You are... a dreadful liar."

" I could've killed her, but I didn't."

" Then Scarlett would've hated you even more. But you did much worse than that. You kept her alive. So you could kill her when it suited you-- a fate worse than death, which, incidentally, is exactly what I've got in store for you."

Gold grabs Regina's hand through the cell, and places a medallion on it that burns her skin,

" Is that...?"

" Yes, dearie. The one thing no one can escape... destiny. And I promise, yours is particularly unpleasant."

Gold lets go of her hand and reveals the symbol burnt on her palm.

" Y-You can't do this. Scarlett would never forgive you."

" Oh... I think I can. She hates you, dearie. And there is nothing my daughter is going to enjoy more, then seeing you suffer for taking away the one she loves."

" You won't get away with this."

" I think I will. And this, Regina, is why you don't mess... with my little girl."
