–[Storybrooke]–
(August, the Stranger, is tinkering with his motorcycle outside of the Mayor's house. Henry and Izzy walk up to him.)
Henry: What are you doing here?
August: Fixing my bike.
Izzy: No, he means in Storybrooke.
August: Just visiting.
Henry: What's that?
August: A box.
Izzy: What's inside it?
August: Just something I need to do what I came here for.
(Regina opens her front door and sees the three talking.)
Henry: Well, we thought you were just visiting?
August: Doesn't mean I don't have something to do.
(He starts his motorcycle. Regina yells for the twins and walks towards them.)
Regina: Henry! Izzy!
August: Better get to school. Looks like a storm's coming.
(August drives off just as Regina reaches the twins.)
Regina: Henry, Izzy. Who was that?
(Henry and Izzy shrug.)

(At Mary Margaret's, Emma and Logan are eating breakfast as Mary Margaret scrambles to get ready. A television airing the weather is on in the background.)
MMB: I can't believe I overslept.
Emma: It's only seven-ten. You've got plenty of time to get to school.
MMB: No, I have to be there at seven-fifteen – science fair. I'm helping the kids with their projects before school.
Logan: I'm sure if you're five minutes late they'll live.
MMB: We're making a volcano.
(Mary Margaret leaves.)
Emma: Okay.

(Mary Margaret arrives at Granny's Diner. She sits at one of the tables, takes out a book, and fixes her hair in a spoon's reflection. At seven-fifteen, David enters the diner and walks up to the counter. Ruby serves him two coffees.)
Ruby: One cream and sugar, one black.
David: Thank you.
(David takes the coffees and notices Mary Margaret sitting behind him.)
David: Good morning.
MMB: Morning!
David: I-I... I should go. I'm going to be late for work.
MMB: Oh, the animal shelter, right? How's that going?
David: Well, the apes haven't taken over.
MMB: Yet.
David: Not on my watch.
(David leaves. She sees him meet Kathryn at their car, where he gives her the coffee and a kiss on the cheek. Emma and Logan come out of the back room.)
Emma: This is making a volcano?
MMB: I was-
Logan: We get it.
MMB: He comes here every morning at seven-fifteen a.m. to get coffee.
Emma: For him and his wife.
MMB: I know, I know, I know. I just like to...come here to see him.
