"Why am I here?" Camilla asked as she sat on the couch that was closer to Mary Margaret's cell.
Mary Margaret watched as Camilla awkwardly sat within the room as Mr Gold said, "you are the closest person to a family for Ms Blanchard so you'll be having some say in it."
Emma released a small sigh before asking, "A pretrial interview with the prosecution? Explain to me how that is a good idea."
"The D.A. merely wishes to ask Miss Blanchard a few questions." Mr Gold responded.
"She's done answering questions, and why are we kissing up to the D.A. anyway?" Camilla asked as her eyebrows shot together in slight confusion.
"Yeah. Why aren't we going after Regina, she's the one setting up Mary Margaret." Emma pointed out.
"And what proof do we have of that, Sheriff? Just because you found the mayor's skeleton key in the cell doesn't mean we can prove she put it there." Gold shot back.
"So what's your plan?" Camilla asked the man.
"I believe our best chance of winning this case is to employ our most valuable asset." Gold responded though it confused the three of them by what he had meant.
"What's that?" Mary Margaret asked as she came towards the bars of the cell.
"Well, that's you, dear. A sweet, kind elementary schoolteacher. Doesn't exactly fit the prototype of a killer, now does it?" Gold pointed out.
"That's how you're going to get her acquitted? By using her personality?" Emma asked.
"Perception is everything, Miss 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--" Gold explained.
Sydney cut off Gold as he entered the station asking, "-Emma? The man entered as he held a vase full 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."
Emma proceeded to the office to meet him while Mary Margaret, Mr Gold and Camilla share a look with each other. As Emma walked into the office, Camilla had gotten up from where she sat and had leaned against the cell.
"So, what are we going to do?" Mary Margaret asked in a hushed whisper towards Mr Gold.
"What you are going to do is that you're going to show that you are willing enough to cooperate, gain their trust, tell the truth." Gold clarified.
