Regina, Cora, Dream, and Hook looked around the library for the number: 915.63. 

"Shouldn't we be pillaging his shop or ransacking his home?" Hook asked when Regina noticed Dream scanning her finger over the numbers. 

"That would be the obvious choice, yes. But Gold wouldn't risk crossing the town line and losing his memory without entrusting the dagger's location to someone." Regina explained when Cora and Hook looked at her.

"Belle." Hook said, looking over to Regina and Dream.

"My guess is she hid it in one of her beloved books," Regina said when she looked around with Dream. 

"Impressive, Regina." Cora smiled, walking over to the other side of Dream. 

"Thank you, Mother." Regina smiled, seeing her mom smiling at her.

"I'll be impressed when I'm holding the dagger in my hand." Hook scoffed, still looking around the books.

Dream found the number, seeing it in a familiar book. "Thumbelina... I used to read this book all the time." Dream said when she pulled out the book with a white sticker with the number on it. 

Regina looked at Dream when they all looked at her. Dream opened up the book, seeing a folded piece of paper. 

"Hold on. What's this?" Cora asked, taking the folded-up piece of paper and opening it up.

"Oh, yes... Crude." Hook smirked, walking over to them when Dream noticed a drawing of a rose in the corner of the page where they found the piece of paper. "To the untrained eye, a child's scribbles. But to a pirate? It's a map." Hook said, reaching over Dream's shoulder to grab the map from Cora while Dream closed the book, putting it back on the shelf. "Gold may not have hidden the dagger here, but I believe he's left us the next best thing." Hook said, walking over to the nearest table. "It's location." He said, setting the map on the table.

"Can you read it?" Dream asked him, making him look up at her, smirking.

"Well, lucky for you ladies, I'm quite adept at finding buried treasure." Hook smirked at her.




"So, Rumpelstiltskin is Henry's grandfather? And Dream's father?" David asked, sitting at the table after Mary Margaret explained what Emma found out to him.

"Apparently..." She sighed, looking at him.

"But I'm his grandfather." David objected, looking at his wife, who was standing. 

"You can have more than one." Mary Margaret corrected, trying to wrap her head around it. 

"So, his step-grandmother is Regina. The Evil Queen. And his adoptive sister is his father's half-sister and his step-aunt?" David asked when Mary Margaret sighed to herself.

"Actually, Regina is his step-great-grandmother... And she's also his adoptive mother. And Dream is his step-great-aunt... And my step-sister." Mary Margaret said as David sighed, aloud, to himself. 

"It's a good thing we don't have Thanksgiving in our land, 'cause that dinner would suck." David sighed, trying to wrap his head around this family tree.

"Or... Maybe this will mellow everyone out." Mary Margaret said, sounding very optimistic.




New York City, New York.

"Gold, wait. What are you doing?" Emma asked as Gold turned to push every button, hoping someone would let them up.
