Meanwhile, at Granny's diner.
Granny was cutting up something behind the counter that Cruella and Ursula sat at. Mary Margaret and David drank their coffee and ate their breakfast in a booth off to the side while Neal slept in his stroller.
"Uh, darling, how much longer for those drinks?" Cruella asked Granny, who looked up at them but walked away.
"Hello, Ma'am." Will Scarlet greeted Granny as he walked in. "The usual, please." He added.
"Ah." Granny smiled, giving him two coffee cups that she had already made. "You betcha." She smiled.
"Cheers." Will smiled, walking out as Cruella and Ursula scoffed at the audacity.
"You know, if that old bag still wolfed out, I'd turn her into a coat for my collection." Cruella scoffed at Ursula, watching Granny, who walked back to the kitchen.
"Regina," Ursula said, turning to Regina and Henry, who walked into the diner. "We could use a heart rip over here. Granny needs a little encouragement in taking our order." Ursula continued, turning in the stool, while Cruella turned to look at Regina and Henry, too.
"Yes, a very effective tactic," Cruella smirked while Regina moved to hold onto Henry while keeping him a little bit behind her. "Didn't you once rip out the heart of every villager in the North Woods?" Cruella asked with a slightly devious smirk.
"Or was it the South?" Ursula asked as Regina turned to look at Henry.
"Uh, why don't you head to my office and get started on the book?" Regina asked Henry, who glanced over to his grandparents.
"Sure... Make sure to get chocolate-frosted doughnuts, not chocolate doughnuts, okay?" Henry asked his mom with a smile. "Dream will know the difference." He added with a chuckle.
"Okay." Regina smiled at him before watching him walk out of the diner. "Let me be clear, ladies. If you bring up my former sins around my son again... Or my daughter... you'll find yourselves across that town line faster than you can say "costume jewelry."" Regina scoffed at the two of them.
"These are blood diamonds, I'll have you know." Cruella spat at her comment, sounding offended.
"Come on, let's take our business elsewhere." Ursula sighed as they got off the barstools and left the diner.
"So, what's the plan here?" David asked as he and Mary Margaret got up from their booth as soon as they left.
"To deal with our latest crisis." Mary Margaret added.
"Those two might be tactless morons, but they couldn't magic their way out of a paper bag," Regina said, looking between the Charmings. "I wouldn't worry. And they're here to seek redemption..."
"You don't actually believe that?" Mary Margaret asked her with a scoff.
"If I didn't think it was a distinct possibility, I wouldn't have let them in town in the first place."
"Yeah, but now that they're here, we have to be certain. Which means keeping eyes on them 24/7." David said as Regina furrowed her brows.
"Which sounds like a job for the sheriff's department. I have bigger things to worry about." Regina sighed, walking to the counter to get the doughnuts that Dream was craving due to her pregnancy.
Cruella and Ursula sighed as they walked out of the diner. They looked up to see Emma, Neal, Dream, and Hook walking to the diner. Dream held Sebastian, while Hook kept his arm around Dream and held Evangeline on his other side. The four of them stopped as Cruella and Ursula walked by.
"Hook," Ursula said with distaste in her mouth.
"You know her?" Dream asked, looking at her husband while Neal and Emma stopped to hear his answer.
"Aye, love. I encountered many a vile creature on my voyages." Hook said, turning to face Dream while glancing in the direction where Cruella and Ursula walked off.
"Emma!"
The four of them turned to David, who walked out of the diner. "I'm glad you're here. We have to go." David said, walking up to the four of them.
"What? Now? We just came to meet you for lunch. I've been dying for a grilled cheese all day." Emma pouted.
"It'll have to wait. You're aware we have two new friends in town?" David asked as Emma and Dream looked confused. "They're up to something. If we hurry, we can pick up the trail." David continued.
"Looks like duty calls." Emma sighed, kissing Neal's cheek.
"Are we still going to get the milkshake?" Dream asked, looking at Hook.
"Of course, love." Hook nodded as they watched David and Emma leave for the sheriff's station.
