In the morning Pan wakes up to Alexis kicking in her sleep, and making noise. He gently shakes her but she doesn't wake up, she keeps muttering in her sleep. "Felix... Felix..."

"Come on, wake up." He says. She wakes up suddenly sitting up.

"Henry?"

"Yeah, I'm here." She pulls him into a hug. "Bad dream?"

"Yeah-"

"Come on you two." Regina says appearing in the door way and cutting Alexis off. "Something happened."

Regina, Henry, and Alexis meet up with everybody. "What the hell happened?" Regina asks.

"The shadow killed her." David explains.

Alexis looks down at Mother Superior's body. The nun had never been anything but kind to her. "Pan's shadow? I trapped it in the sail." Regina says.

"Yeah, well it got free." Emma says.

"Look, let's go back to the ship and get the candle. "If it strikes again we should be able to capture it." He leaves with Hook and Tinkerbelle to go to the ship.

"Pan's behind it, I know it." Emma says.

"He's trapped in a box, under the floor in Gold's shop." Regina reminds her.

"Who else would be behind this?" Emma challenges.

"So Pan can still hurt me?" Henry asks concerned.

"We don't know that." Regina tells him.

"But we have to assume he's a threat." Snow says.

"And that he's after Henry." Emma adds.

"Then what am I doing here?" he asks. Alexis looks at him. That isn't something he'd usually say, but she brushed it off. He's becoming a teenager. They both are.

"Henry's right, he's not safe out in the open." David says.

"You'll protect me right?" Henry asks Regina.

"Yes, of course." She says as they hug.

"Go," Emma says. "We'll take care of the shadow." They start to walk away. "Regina wait." Emma calls Regina stops while Henry keeps going. "Keep a close eye on Henry."

"I already am." Regina tells her.

Alexis turns away from that conversation. She looks towards the Jail where her brother is. She wishes he could be here, but she can't. They all think that he's dangerous, and she wishes she could change that.

She's pulled out of her thoughts by Snow pulling her into a hug, and holding her tight.

They find Gold outside his shop with Belle. "No, I'm afraid we're closed. Whatever crisis you're dealing with; I'm done for the day."

"Rumple..." Belle mutters.

"Pandora's Box, give it to me." Emma tells him.

"Why would I do that?" he asks.

"We need to open it."

"And let Pan escape? What are you, crazy?"

"Pan's controlling the shadow from inside the box." Snow tells him.
