–[Storybrooke]–
(Regina and the twins are eating dinner at home. They eat in silence, until the doorbell rings.)
Regina: I don't recall us expecting any company.
(Regina gets up to answer the door. It's Emma.)
Regina: Sheriff Swan. What are you doing here?
Emma: Henry and Izzy invited me.
Regina: Do you honestly believe, I'd allow you into my house for dinner, after all the threats you made to my family?
Emma: I didn't come for dinner.
Regina: Then, what did you come for?
Emma: You.
(Confused, Regina looks behind her into the kitchen and discovers that the twins is gone. She turns back to Emma, where several other Storybrooke citizens have gathered behind her.)
Emma: We all did.
(Regina turns around and starts to retreat into the house, when she sees Henry and Izzy holding a noose at the top of the stairs.)
Regina: Henry. Izzy.
(The mob brings Regina to the main street, where an apple tree has sprung up in the middle of the road. They tie her to the tree as she protests. The rest of the town watches on.)
Regina: No... No.... Let me go. I command it!
Ruby: After everything you've done to all of us?
Archie: My apologies, Your Majesty, but my conscience is clear!
Leroy: You're not Queen anymore, sister!
Granny: Tighter!
Logan: She needs to feel our pain!
MMB: You took our love and ripped it apart!
David: And now, you're going to pay!
(Emma approaches Regina and picks one of the blackened apples off the tree. She holds it in front of Regina and crushes it in her hand.)
Emma: Rotten to the core.
Regina: I just wanted to win... For once.
(Emma grabs Regina by the throat.)
Emma: You took away our happiness, and now it's our turn to take away yours.
(Emma lets go of Regina's neck and walks towards the crowd. David pulls out a sword and hands it to Emma.)
Regina: ...What?
Regina: Henry, Izzy. Henry, Izzy, please don't let them do this to me.
Izzy: You did this to yourself.
(Wielding the sword, Emma aims for Regina and swings. Before the sword hits her, Regina awakens from the dream and jolts upright in her bed. She quickly gets up and heads to the twins' room to check on them. Inside, she sees them underneath the blanket. Regina exits and the camera pans to show that the form under the blanket isn't Henry and Izzy, but instead a pile of pillows.)
———–
(Emma and the twins are driving along the road that leads out of Storybrooke.)
Henry: Is that all your stuff?
Emma: All I need.
Izzy: Wait. You want to go now? We're leaving now?
