When Juliet opened her eyes, she was in her house, and Cora was gone. Regina opened the door, and once she saw her passed out niece, she immediately ran over. "Juliet? What happened?" Juliet slowly sat up. "I saw your mother. She's here. In Storybrooke."

Regina nodded. "I know. I saw her." Juliet stood up. "Don't take this the wrong way, but I think I'm going to go somewhere else for the time being." Regina sighed. "I understand." Juliet ran upstairs to pack.

Once she was all packed, Juliet wheeled her suitcase full of clothes and trinkets to Granny's. As she walked inside, Granny smiled. "Juliet. Couldn't stay at Regina's?" Juliet nodded. "There's an unwanted guest there. Is there a room available." Granny nodded, and handed her a key. Juliet nodded. "Thanks." She then walked upstairs to the room.

The next morning, she went over to Snow's. She opened the door to find Henry walking down the stairs. "Hey, kid." Henry smiled. "Hey." He walked over to the counter. "Where were you? Granny wouldn't tell me anything." Juliet raised an eyebrow. "Anything about what?" Snow poured some coffee. "Hook and Rumple got into a fight, and someone got hurt." Emma nodded. "We weren't sure if Dr. Frankenstein could fix him, but he did." Juliet shrugged. "But Frankenstein's not a fairytale." Henry tilted his head. "That's who Whale is." He ran to get the book.

Juliet sat at the counter. Emma sat next to her. "Did you see Regina?" Juliet nodded. "Yeah, but I'm staying at Granny's for now." Emma nodded. "Right, 'cause Cora's there." Juliet nodded.

Henry ran back with the book. "Frankenstein isn't in here. That means he came from another land with different stories. If the curse went to places with other stories, then who knows what else is in this town?" Juliet nodded.

All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. The door opened, and Juliet saw Rumple. "Hey Rumple." She said midst eating. Gold nodded. "Remember that favor you owe me, Miss Swan?" Emma nodded, and Juliet set down her plate. "Sounds interesting." Gold ignored the teenager. "I'm cashing it in." Juliet walked over to them. "You do honor your agreements, don't you?" Emma nodded. "I need to find someone, so we're leaving today." Juliet's eyes lit up. "Cool, I'll come with." Gold shook his head, but Juliet persisted. "Okay fine, just you and Miss Swan." Juliet smiled. "Alright, I'll be back."
