August, Henry, and Melissa who is holding her daughter in a carriage is lurking across the street from Mr. Gold's Pawn Shop.
"It's almost nine. You all set?" August asked Henry
"Do you know what to do?" Melissa asked Henry
"Operation Cobra is always ready. I just…" Henry said as August interrupt his sentence
"You just what?" August asked again
"I don't understand what this has to do with getting Emma to believe." Henry said
"Sometimes, other priorities assert themselves." August said
"Can you handle a little improvisation?" Melissa asked again
"Yeah. Can you guys?" Henry asked both Melissa and August
"We're a go." August said
Henry runs across the street and enters the shop. Gold greets him. He distracts Gold, August enters the shop through the back door, while Melissa is watching them. Henry continues to discuss purchasing a bell with Gold, while August searches through Gold's office out back. He is caught snooping by Gold.
Blanchard apartment.
Off to the side, Henry, August, and Melissa holding Jenna are talking and watching Mr. Gold from afar.
"How bad was it?" Melissa asked August
"Getting caught in his office? Not bad. I played it off." August said
"That's good." Melissa said
"What were you looking for? Did you find it?" Henry asked August
"Nope. But I have a feeling it's going to find me. (August spots Mary Margaret.) There she is. Why don't you give her your present?" August asked Henry
Henry goes to Mary Margaret.
"That was sweet of you." Melissa said
"About what?" August asked Melissa
"You're good with kids. You're good to my daughter." Melissa said
Sidney is drinking coffee at Granny's Diner. Both Emma and Melissa enters, and sits across from him.
"Hey, Sidney." Emma said
"Emma and Melissa. So, things certainly did work out, didn't they? For… For your friend?" Sidney asked both Emma and Melissa
"You told us you could help us with Mary Margaret, and we wanted to believe you." Melissa said
"But, eventually, there are things that even a blind Sheriff and Deputy cannot ignore." Emma said
Emma pulls out the wire tap and places it on the table.
"Is that a bug?" Sidney asked again as he was still lying
"Cut the crap, Sidney. You fooled us, you spied on us, and you reported it all back to that sick, crazy woman." Melissa said
"We can't even imagine what she has on you, but it must be something huge." Emma said
"She's a good Mayor." Sidney said
"She tried to get Mary Margaret convicted of a murder that didn't even happen. You're in a lot of trouble." Emma said
"There is a DNA trail in a basement of some house out there. Emma and I are going to find it. And she's going to go away." Melissa said
"Maybe. But, I wouldn't bet against her. She's an amazing woman." Sidney said
"Do you… Are you in love with her? …Fine. Whatever. Here's the thing – before you know it, Melissa and I will have that evidence. And you need to think long and hard." Emma said
"Here's the thing. You can either help us, and help yourself, or you're going down with her. Your choice." Melissa said
Mystic Falls Past.
Gilbert house.
Elena, Stefan, and Melissa are in Elena's bedroom.
"Ah, this is bad. Between Isobel and Jenna and now Matt, this is disaster bad." Elena said
"Yeah." Stefan said
"Jenna is like my big sister and suddenly Isobel throws the whole bombshell in front her face." Melissa said
"We're going to fix this." Stefan said
John walks in.
"Elena, can you come downstairs, please? I need to talk to you." John said
"Heh. I have nothing to say to you." Elena said
"Please. It's important. You too Stefan. As do you Melissa." John said
They go downstairs. Elena's comes out of the kitchen.
"I asked John for a do-over." Isobel said
Elena looks at John.
"You invited her in?" Elena asked her father
"She has information about Klaus. Please, just listen to her." John said
"Why she would we listen to her? She's the one that threw a bombshell to Jenna." Melissa said
"I have information on Klaus." Isobel said
Elena looks at Stefan.
"All right. What do you know?" Stefan asked Isobel
They're in the kitchen.
"Since I was last here, I've been doing everything possible to find Klaus. We knew our best chance was to find him before he could find you." Isobel said
"Best chance at what?" Stefan asked again
"Keeping Elena alive." John said
"You don't get to talk, okay, not after everything you've done." Elena said
"Were you able to find Klaus?" Melissa asked Isobel
"No. Nobody knows where he is but there are these rumors that are flying around. That a doppelgänger exists." Isobel said
"Which means any vampire that wants to get in favor with Klaus will be lining up to capture you." John said
"I'm not buying any of this. (Elena looks at her mother.) The last time that you were here, you made it clear that you didn't give a damn about me. Now all of a sudden I'm supposed to believe that you want to help?" Elena asked her mother as she was really pissed
"Isobel's been helping all along. Klaus has been obsessed with finding Katherine for centuries. All it would take was any one of those 1864 tomb vampires to spread the word around that Katherine was still alive and it would bring him straight here to Mystic Falls, where you were bound to be discovered, so we killed them." John said as he explain
"And almost killed Stefan and Damon in the process. So why should we give a crap about you?" Melissa asked Isobel
Everyone stayed quiet. Melissa started to put her coat on and leaves but Stefan stops her.
"Where are you going?" Stefan asked Melissa
"I can't take this from you Stefan. Ok. She ruined my life. Worst of all. She ruin Jenna, Rick, and right now Elena's life. Which means that I'm not staying here. I'm going home." Melissa said as she leaves
Storybrooke Present.
Both Emma and Melissa arrives back at the station. Regina was there.
"Congratulations, Sheriff Swan and Deputy Flair. There's about to be a big break. The two of you got yourselves a confession. You two need to listen to the whole explanation, so the two of you would understand why this happened." Regina said
"Oh, I'll hang on every word you say." Emma said
"Every word that's bull." Melissa said
"Sidney. You can come in now. (Sidney enters.) Tell them what you told me." Regina said
"It was me. I confess. I abducted Kathryn, and I held her in the basement of an abandoned summer home by the lake. I bribed a lab tech to get me the heart from the hospital, and I used that same person to doctor the lab results." Sidney said
"And the other thing." Regina said
"I…borrowed some skeleton keys from Regina and…planted the knife in your apartment." Sidney said
"My keys. Can't help but feel personally violated about that part." Regina said
"We're supposed to believe you did this for why now?" Melissa asked Sidney
"I was going to find her after the conviction, be a hero. Then, get the inside track on the biggest story to ever hit this town. I'd get my job back. Plus, a novel, and a movie, and… I don't know. It sounds crazy now." Sidney said
"I don't know about crazy. But false, yes. False as hell." Melissa said
"I have maps to where the house is. The two of you will find chains in the basement. Lots of fingerprints, I'm sure – hers and mine. But, I didn't hurt her." Sidney said
"The man has obviously suffered some kind of mental break. He clearly hasn't been himself for a while." Regina said
"Yeah. It's like his words aren't his at all." Emma said
"Wow. You are so sold on your own rush to judgment that you can't even see the truth anymore." Regina said
"A word in the hallway, please. (Regina, Melissa, and Emma meet in the hall alone.) Well, that's the biggest load of crap Margaret and I've ever heard." Emma said
"I'm pretty sure that's not true." Regina said
"That poor man. We know you are behind all this." Emma said
"We understand that you own the game, and that you've set the board so that no one else can win. But we're about to start playing an entirely different game. We don't care about what happens to you." Melissa said
"We don't care about what happens to me. What I care about, is what happens to my kid. And you are going to leave him alone." Emma said
"Am I?" Regina asked with an evil look
"Uh-uh. I'm talking. You're a sociopath, lady. You tried to take away someone that I love. And now… I'm going to take away someone you love. I am taking back my son." Emma said
