2x18 - Selfless, Brave, and True

SCENE: Land Without Magic. Past, October 24th, 2011, 8:15 A.M. ...Phuket. August is in bed with a girl, sound asleep. He suddenly wakes up as if in pain, sits up, and sees his leg turning into wood. He turns around.

August: (Speaking Thai.) Wake up. Wake up!

Isra: (Looks at the clock, then reluctantly at him.) It's only 8:15, go back to bed...

August: (Pointing at his leg.) Look at this. Right here. Isra, wake up! Help me!

Isra: (Gets up halfway and looks at him.) August, it's early. I'm sleeping.

August: (Reaching out and touching his knee.) Look, don't you see it?

Isra: (Looking up.) I see your leg! Now please, be quiet...

August: I need to go to a hospital...

Isra: What the hell is wrong with you?

August: (Speaking English.) I'm turning into wood.

SCENE: Storybrooke. Present. The Blanchard loft. David brings a breakfast tray for Mary Margaret.

Emma: Breakfast in bed? Seriously?

David: What happened has been really hard on Mary Margaret. The least we can do is make sure she's eating.

Emma: I think it's time to give the hot cocoa and the foot massages a rest. It's time to haul her ass out of bed and get her to move past this.

Logan: That's a little harsh, don't you think? She took Cora's life.

Izzy: (Izzy and Henry pace down the stairs.) Is everything okay?

Emma: Everything's fine, kids. Get your coats, we're gonna be late.

Henry: Bye, Gramps. (The twins leave.)

Emma: I know you both think that she needs our help. But at the end of the day, she's the only one who can help herself. (Emma leaves and Mary Margaret pops up from behind the island in the kitchen.)

Mary Margaret: Good morning.

David: Hey. Morning. I made you some eggs. But if you're craving something else, we can go to Granny's. Unless you have other plans?

Mary Margaret: I thought I'd head out to the woods, actually. I need to think things through.

Logan: Let us come with you.

Mary Margaret: Logan, I need to do this alone. And you both have things to do. I know you've both been looking forward to working in the bean fields.

David: Yeah. Yeah, Anton says we might have a crop soon. And once we do, we can go home. And none of what happened will matter. It will all be in the past.

Mary Margaret: I used Regina to kill her own mother. I don't think going back will erase that.

Logan: Mary Margaret...

Mary Margaret: Please. Give me time.

SCENE: Storybrooke. Present. The twins and Emma enter Granny's Bed and Breakfast where Neal and Olivia are waiting for them. Henry and Izzy show Neal and Olivia their storybook.

Olivia: Hey, guys. How are you?

Izzy: I'm good. I brought this. I thought you could tell me what it was really like over there.

Neal: Sounds great. I tell you what, why don't you run into the diner, get us five hot cocoas and we'll dive in. (Henry and Izzy leave.)

Emma: I'm gonna have to take a rain check on that. I need to get down to the station to take care of some things.
