"So how's the house hunting coming, Lex?" Emma asks.

"I actually found a place. I move in on Friday." Alexa grins.

"Already? Impressive." Emma nods.

"And not only that — I'm getting a new car. I'm picking it up tomorrow so I'll officially be giving you back the bug." Alexa adds.

"About time." Emma remarks, but Alexa just rolls her eyes.

"Wow, let me see. Chocolate, dvds, ice cream, wine. You planning on sharing any of that?" Alexa inquires eyeing Henry.

"It's for my mom." Henry explains. "I googled 'how to get over a breakup'. It didn't talk about your boyfriends wife time traveling back from the past, but close enough."

"She's gonna love it." Alexa assures him when something hits the window. "What the heck is that?"

"It's a message." Mary Margret muses taking a note off of a birds leg. "It's for Henry — it's from your mother."

"She doesn't want to see me." Henry frowns.

"Come on, Em. Let's tag team this." Alexa suggests after they read the note and follow Henry down to Granny's. "We read the note, and she just said that she needed space while she figured stuff out."

"She doesn't want to see me." Henry argues.

"She's in a lot of pain over Robin Hood and everything else that's happened over the last.. well, forever." Emma tells him. "Things have been tough on her and you. She's trying to fix them so her and you can be together.. because she cares about you."

"So why'd she tell me to stay away?" Henry questions.

"Look, Henry.." Alexa starts when the power goes off.

"What the hell?" Emma mutters.

"He wouldn't even let me hug him, it killed me." Emma sighs.

"Sounds familiar." David comments.

"Cause I do that, great. I've passed it along." Emma scoffs.

"Not just you, Henry has two mothers and an aunt who put up walls. Sounds like he's taking after all of you." David reassures her.

"Um.. I think I found the problem." Alexa muses as they reach the town line. "And I think whoever did this created that snow monster earlier."
