2×10 - The Cricket Game

–[Storybrooke]–

(The Jones sibliings' ship is anchored at the docks of Storybrooke. Seeing that the coast is clear, Hook and Madeline jump off the boat. Hook then proceeds to assist Cora off the ship.)

Hook: Well, my dear Cora, this is where we shall part ways. Thank you for everything. It's time for me and my baby sister to skin our crocodile.

(As the duo turns to leave, Cora magically disappears, and then reappears in front of them.)

Cora: You might want to rethink this.

Madeline: We had a deal. Get out of our way.

Cora: Believe it or not, I'm doing you a favor.

Hook: By preventing our vengeance?

Cora: Ask yourself how I'm doing that.

Madeline: By using your dark magic.

Cora: Exactly. Magic is here. And that makes matters a bit more complicated. If you go off half-cocked after an empowered Rumpelstiltskin, do you know what'll happen? So, you do. Good.

(A fisherman spots the trio on the pier and approaches them.)

Man: Hey. You folks need anything? Tackle shop doesn't open until morning. But, if you want to go out and try and snare some of New England's finest pescatarian creatures, I'd be happy to open early for ya.

Hook: No, thank you. We're fine.

Man: It's a fine vessel you got there. When'd you get in?

Cora: What vessel?

Man: W-Why that one right...

(Cora waves her hand and the ship turns invisible.)

Man: Hey, that's a neat trick. You some kind of magician back in our land?

(Annoyed, Cora magically transforms the man into a fish. As it flops on the dock, Madeline kicks it into the water.)

Madeline: What did you do with our ship?

Cora: I hid it from prying eyes. For what we both want to do, we need the element of surprise. Now you ready to listen to me?

Hook: Go on, Your Majesty. What now?

Cora: Let's go have a little look at this Storybrooke, shall we?

(Mary Margaret and David are in bed at Mary Margaret's apartment.)

David: What are you thinking?

MMB: That it's good to be back.

David: Yeah? And what are you really thinking?

MMB: Twenty-eight years is too long to wait between-

(Suddenly, Emma and the twins return home from shopping.)

Izzy: Hey! Guess what? Taco shells were on sale.

Emma: Apparently, tacos? Not a big item in the Enchanted-

(The twins and Emma both pause when they see them in bed.)

Henry: What are you guys still doing in bed? It's the middle of the afternoon.

MMB: The trip back was tiring, and I needed to rest.

David: And I needed to... Help her rest.

Emma: Uh, let's... Let's go make the tacos. We have to make a lot because there's going to be a ton of people at Granny's welcome back party tonight.
