3x13 Witch and Warlock Hunt

SCENE: The Enchanted Forest. Past, last year. The Evil Queen's bedchamber at her palace. A green hand searches through the Queen's jewelry.

Wicked Warlock: Look at all her things. Onyx, black pearl... diamond. (Wicked Witch looks into the mirror to see how the earrings look on herself.) A family could live off what this is worth. (She drops the earring in the jewelry box) She just left it all behind. (She then walks to the Queen's wardrobe. A flying monkey looks at them, making some noises. The Wicked Witch looks around the room.) Such pretty things. All wasted on her. (She opens the wardrobe and searches through the outfits; picking out a dress.) Ahh. Now, this could work. (She walks to the mirror where green smoke envelopes her. The smoke clears; showing she is now wearing the dress. She studies herself in the mirror.) Now, that's how you wear a dress. (Turns her head to the flying monkey. The creature looks at her, with a kind of admiration.) I know she looks lovely. Now go find the Evil Queen and let her know that we're here. And no... there's no need to be gentle. (The flying monkey obeys and flies away.)

SCENE: The Enchanted Forest. Past, last year. Snow White, Rafael, and company make their way across the land. The Evil Queen stops and looks at her former palace in the distance. Red Riding Hood approaches Snow White and Rafael. Rafael wraps an arm around her.

Red Riding Hood: Seems like old times, doesn't it? Except, not running from Regina, but with her.

Rafael: She's changed. We have to believe for the better.

Red Riding Hood: I hope it sticks. But regardless, she doesn't look too good. If she hadn't tried to hurt us so many times, I might be worried about her.

Snow White: I'll talk to her. (walks away and approaches the Evil Queen.) You're ready to make camp soon, Regina? (The Evil Queen remains silent.) You're thinking about Henry and Izzy, aren't you?

Evil Queen: I'm always thinking about the twins. And I was also thinking (turning around to walk on) there are tunnels that run under the castle. They may run beneath the spell.

Prince Charming: Which means we can sneak an army inside.

Evil Queen: No, an army would be detected.

Snow White: Then how do the tunnels help us?

Evil Queen: Because they can get me inside. If I can get inside, then I can lower the shield. Then you can send in your army.

(Shrieking is heard and a flying monkey swoops in. Charming draws his sword, and Snow White readies to loose an arrow.)

Olivia Cassidy: Incoming! (The monkey pushes him out of its path and flies toward Roland, presently standing right in front of the Evil Queen.)

Roland: Papa!

Robin Hood: Roland! (The Queen runs in front of the boy, gently pushing him away from the creature as Roland runs over to his father.)

Evil Queen: Not so fast. (She magically transforms the monkey into a stuffed animal. Then she approaches Robin and Roland.) See, not so scary. (Giving the toy to Roland.) Now you have a new toy. (She smiles.)

Robin Hood: Thank you.

SCENE: Storybrooke. Present. Granny's Bed and Breakfast. Hook& Madeline, Mary Margaret, and David are sitting in the living room. Emma.

Emma: Okay, Henry and Izzy are asleep upstairs. If they wake up, you two are helping me with the case. (She sits down on a sofa.) So, what the hell happened here? I mean, besides the obvious. (Gesturing toward a pregnant Mary Margaret.)
