"SORRY I'M LATE," The blonde rushed into the Sheriff's station, glancing up at Emma and Mr Gold with a hesitant smile. Mary Margret was sat inside of her cell as the two stood directly outside it. "So, what's the plan? Fill me in."

"I believe our best chance of winning this case is to employ our most valuable asset," Mr Gold told Aphrodite, the woman looking at him in confusion. "A sweet, kind elementary schoolteacher. Doesn't exactly fit the prototype of a killer, now does it?"

"That's how you're going to get her acquitted?" Asked Emma, not knowing if that would work. "By using her personality?"

Gold nodded, "Perception is everything, Sheriff Swan. Not just in the courtroom, but in life. As such, I'm sure you can imagine how the jury would perceive Miss Blanchard if she agreed to cooperate with the District Attorney. These things engender trust. It shows the jury she's at least trying."

"Emma."

Aphrodite turned her head to see Sidney, he held a vase of flowers.

"Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt, I just, uh, came by to drop these off. I thought they might brighten the place up." He said as the man walked into Emma's office.

Emma followed him into her office, where Sidney placed the vase of flowers on the desk whilst Mr Gold and Mary Margret shared a glance before looking over at Aphrodite.

The blonde noticed their looks, "What?"

The three continued to watch Emma and Sidney, wondering what the two were discussing.

Mary Margret leant closer to the bars, "I'm gonna do it." She whispered.

Emma had returned back by now, her face contorted in confusion, "Do what?"

"I'm going to talk to the D.A. Mr Gold's right. I know I have nothing to hide, but no one else does. I need to let people see me for who I am."

"Excellent decision, Miss Blanchard," A unfamiliar voice spoke from inside the room. The four turned to the entrance to see a older man and Regina following up behind him. "My name is Spencer, I'm the District Attorney. Shall we begin?"

They were all lead into the interrogation room, Spencer sitting on one side whilst Mr Gold and Mary Margret sat opposite him. Meanwhile, Aphrodite, Emma and Regina were watching from behind the two-way mirror.

The District Attorney had immediately gone into his questions about Mary Margret and David Nolan's affair.

From the two-way mirror, Aphrodite watched with wide concern eyes, her worry etched deeply into her delicate features. She fidgeted, unable to stay still. Her finger clutched onto the hem of her shirt, and her brow if furrowed with worry.
