Cruella was speeding down the back streets of Storybrooke. She did not have anything to do, but she slammed on the brakes when she saw Maleficent standing in the middle of the road. Maleficent did not look phased as Cruella sighed, stopping an inch before she could hit Maleficent. Cruella sighed, getting out of the car.
"We need to talk." Maleficent scoffed, keeping her hands on her hips.
"Good thing I had my brakes serviced, darling." Cruella scoffed, slamming her car door. "I do hate getting blood on the car."
"There's still time for that. Tell me about Lily."
"Sorry, who?" Cruella pretended to be oblivious to what Maleficent was talking about.
"My daughter, Lily. You told me she didn't service the trip to this world. You lied." Maleficent practically growled at Cruella, who sighed, trying to come up with a believable lie.
"Perhaps I did. But there's an explanation, of course. You see, um..." She paused as she felt Maleficent's glaring daggers. "I'm a really terrible person, and I left her in the woods to die." She said, not trying to lie about what she really did.
"You did what?"
"Oh, don't be so flabbergasted. You know, I'm not mother material." She scoffed at Maleficent, who was fuming in anger. "Ursula and I took that dragon egg she was in. Oh, the magic helped us stay young, you know. Wonderful thing. But the little brat..."
"My daughter." Maleficent corrected her.
"Yes. Well--"
"You should know your death is going to last for days." Maleficent threatened her before she backed up, turning into a dragon.
Cruella did not seem scared. She just smirked a bit before blowing out a green smoke toward Maleficent. "Oh, I was so hoping you'd do that. People always underestimate a girl in diamonds and fires, don't they? I mean, no one guessed what I was really after. Not Gold. Certainly not you." Cruella spat as Maleficent's dragon form slowly sat down to listen to Cruella, much calmer. "But now that the Author is here, today is the day that I get mine. Now, be a good girl, lie down, and take a nap." Cruella smirked as Maleficent's dragon form did as she said.
Cruella got into her car and drove away, leaving the dragon to take a nap.
"You have to remember something else about the Author," Emma said, following her parents and Dream into the loft. Dream pushed the stroller over to put the twins and Neal down for a nap since they were basically sleeping in the stroller while the others were looking for the Author. "Some way to find him. Now think." Emma said as Hook and Neal followed them.
"Go on upstairs, lad." Hook patted Henry's shoulder, motioning for him to head upstairs, while Hook walked over to help Dream.
"We told you everything we know." David sighed, taking his jacket off, when he looked at his daughter as Neal closed the door behind them.
"Are we sure about that? Because secrets just keep coming out." Emma spat at him.
"If they're going to go back and forth again like they did last night, I'm gonna need a nap and food before this baby keeps kicking my poor ribcage wanting a milkshake," Dream told her husband and Neal.
"Okay. You're clearly still upset...." Mary Margaret sighed, trying to say.
"Yes, I am still upset." Emma spat at her parents. "You were the ones who taught me there is always a right way. A heroic way. And what you did to Maleficent's child--" Emma began to rant.
"It was our only option to make sure you grew up good." David tried to justify their actions again.
"I'm sorry, but if it were me, no matter what, I would not harm a defenseless person." Emma spat at her father.
"And that right there. That goodness is exactly why we did what we did. It was worth it." Mary Margaret spat back at her daughter.
The door opened, stopping the argument when Regina walked in.
"Mom! Oh, thank goodness." Dream sighed in relief.
"Regina, where have you been?" Emma asked her.
"In the middle of a very bad day. I'll tell you the whole story later after I rescue Robin Hood." Regina sighed, looking at everyone.
"Robin Hood?" Emma asked, furrowing her brows.
"What are you talking about?" Dream asked as Hook moved one of the barstools for her to sit down since she was experiencing her ankles swelling and her feet hurting from the pregnancy.
"I called that number you gave me. But Marian answered the phone... and I discovered she's not really Marian at all." Regina sighed, looking around the others in the room.
"So, who is she?" David asked, furrowing his brows.
"Zelena..."
"The Wicked Witch?" David asked as everyone looked shocked and in disbelief.
"The woman who sped up my pregnancy?" Dream asked, raising her voice a bit.
"The woman who tried to kill me?" Neal asked, looking a little worried.
"I don't know how it's possible, but my sister has been masquerading as her this entire time. And she's in league with Gold." Regina sighed, carefully saying the last part because of Dream. "Robin's in danger, so I'm going to New York to find him and stop her." Regina sighed, looking back at Emma.
"And what about Gold?" Hook asked, moving to hold Dream's hand. "If they're working together, he's not just gonna let you waltz off and spoil his plans." He added that Dream's heart was beginning to race.
"Well, I wouldn't worry about Gold. I know exactly how to handle him." Regina said, narrowing her eyes in anger.
