I sit in on Henry's therapy sessions. "You weren't always a cricket." he looks up.

"I wasn't always- oh right. Because I'm...because you think in Jiminy Cricket." he places his things down.

"Why do you think that Henry?" "It's just because of who you are," he replies. "And who am I?" "You're a conscience. You help people see right from wrong," he states. "So all the crickets in Storybrooke were once people too?" he stands up and goes to the window. "There aren't any crickets here. Listen."

He's right. "Maybe it isn't late enough." "There's never been crickets here. You've just never noticed," he replies. "So you think thats proof that there's a curse?" "yes but it's not enough I'm looking for more." He states.

"Who do you think she is? A dragon?" "no. She's a psychic. It's weird no one really knows her backstory it's like her story was too dark to write about." I furrow my eyebrows.

"Henry, I asked you this once before and you said you'd think about it. Why do you think it's so important that this is real?" He asks. "It...it just is." "All right well keep thinking about that answer Henry. Cause I think there's something buried there," He states.

I hear a loud explosion. It shakes the building. We all look each other confused.

"Are you gonna call Kiara?" "God no. That girl could sleep through a tornado that turned into a earthquake that started a tsunami. Only way to wake her up is white noise." I state. "So she's a heavy sleeper?" "Very."

We get to the old mines. I see Emma on crowd control. "People of Storybrooke we've always known this place was honeycombed with old mining tunnels. But fear not in going to undertake a project to make this area safe. To rehabilitate it for city use. We will bulldoze it collapse it pave it." she states.

"Pave it?" Henry asks. "What if there is something down there?" he asks her. She pulls him to the side. "What's down there?" "Nothing. Now step back." I pull him back. "In fact everyone please step back. Thank you." "Summer!" Regina calls. "Wait with Henry in the car." "yes, ma'am." I take Henry back to car.

"So..." "So..." I tap my fingers on the window.
"Wanna check it out?" "Hell ya." We get out of the car and sneak out of the car. He calls Archie over. He comes over.

"This requires all of Operation Cobra. Both of you excluding the one who sleeps." "She let thought that?" Emma asks. "Heavy sleeper. Not the point. Henry." "I didn't realize I was in Operation Cobra," Archie states.

"Of course you are. You knows everything. We can't let her do this." He states. "What if there's something down there?" "They're just some old tunnels." Emma tells us. "That just happened to collapse after you get here?" "Butterfly," I mutter.

They look at me. "The butterfly effect. It's a study that when you do something small big things happen. Like splitting the pole. But in this case, it actually might be true." "You too?" Emma asks. "I'm superstitious." I say smugly.

"You're changing things. You're weakening the curse." "That's not what's happening." Emma states. "Yes, it is. Did you do anything different today? Because something made this happen." He states. She touched her policeman belt.
Deputy.

"Henry! Summer! I told you to wait in the car." Regina screeched. We scurry back to the car.
