NEVERLAND - PAST
On the Jolly Roger, Captain Hook was looking at a picture of Milah when one of his crew mates, William Smee, approached.
"Milah was quite beautiful, wasn't she? Don't worry, Captain. You'll avenge her. No matter what it takes, I know you'll find a way to kill Rumpelstiltskin," Smee told him.
"Mr. Smee, what news of the day's catch?" Hook asked. "The boy and girl we yanked from the sea."
"They're still asleep. A bit waterlogged and smells of catfish, but they'll live."
"Where do you suppose they came from? There aren't many other ships in this area, and their clothes are certainly not of this land."
"What if the boy and girl belong to him? The ones he kidnaps from the other world. I'd bet my rations on it."
"Indeed. But could we be so lucky?"
"Lucky? He'll be looking for us. He knows this land better than we do."
"Mr. Smee, are you not a connoisseur of rare and valuable objects? If we return the boy and girl to him, it could be the very key to our survival in Neverland."

"Ahoy there," Hook greeted. "Aren't you lucky to be alive?"
"Lucky?" Baelfire repeated. "She and I are prisoners of pirates in a land cursed with magic."
"Well, most children think they've found paradise when they lay their eyes on Neverland's magic. Why else leave home in the first place?"
"She and I came so a family we loved could live."
"Well, aren't you quite the hero?"
"What would you know about that?" Bindi spat. "Pirate."
"A pirate saved your scrawny bones from the curse of the mermaid."
"A pirate killed his and my mother and tore apart our family."
"What about your father?"
"He left us. He's a coward."
"What's your name, boy, girl?"
"We don't have to answer you," Baelfire retorted.
"Ooh. But I can make you. But to prove to you that not all pirates are as you fear, I'll simply ask again - what's your name?"
"Baelfire. Her name is Bindi."
"Welcome aboard, Baelfire, Bindi. It's a pirate's life for you."
STORYBROOKE - PRESENT
Henry was on a swing while Granny supervised. Mr. Gold watched Henry from a distance, and noticed that should the rope of the swing break, his grandchild would be killed by sharp rocks nearby. Mr. Gold began to magically destroy the rope when Emma, Mary Margaret, Emmett and David arrived in David's car.
"Gold. What are you doing here?" David asked.
"Well, my son made it clear I'm to stay away from him, so I'm spending some time with my grandchild instead," Mr. Gold replied.
Mary Margaret said to her son, "Emmett, it's okay. Why don't you talk to Henry, and we'll handle this."
Emmett walked towards his son.
"Emmett," Henry called.
"Henry, hey," Emmett greeted.
"Mr. Gold, we have some news to share with you, and it's not good," Mary Margaret said.
