"We can't just sit here and wait for Gold to make his next move. We need confront him and stop him from causing any more damage." Alexa exclaims.

"Careful. Don't go off half cocked." Killian warns.

"Too late." Alexa crosses her arms.

"Hook's right. He wants you angry." David interjects.

"Yes, I'm angry. But that doesn't mean I'm going dark. Because, in case you forgot, anger is a human emotion." Alexa snaps. "It's like you said, we're all human. Now, we just need to find Gold and stop him from using the author."

"I might be able to help with that." Maleficent replies walking in. "It now appears we have a common foe — Rumplestiltskin."

"He resurrected you." David says confused.

"To help himself, not me." Maleficent clarifies. "Cruella's death only confirmed that."

"Oh, now you want to turn on him before he turns on you." Killian muses.

"I knew Gold couldn't keep the dragon on her leash for long." Regina smirks.

"What do you want?" Mary Margaret questions.

"Nothing from you." Maleficent retorts before turning her attention back to Alexa. "But your dear daughter Alexa here can. She is, after all, the savior. Isn't helping people find their happy endings part of your job description?"

"Well, yeah, it is." Alexa answers. "What exactly do you need my help with?"

"I want you to help me find someone — my daughter." Maleficent states.

"She's alive?" Mary Margaret breathes.

"Yes. She survived the journey to this land, the journey you sent her on." Maleficent responds. "You want to prevent Rumplestiltskin from achieving whatever he wants. What better way than leaving this town and helping me?"

"You want me run away?" Alexa inquires.

"You're not running away. You're hindering him and his plans." Maleficent remarks.

"What do you know about her since she landed in this world?" Alexa asks.

"Just what the dark one showed me — that she was banished to this world thirty years ago to a place called Minnesota where she adopted by a couple and they named her Lilith." Maleficent informs her.
