Zelena was beginning to bring Robin to see Archie weekly to try and find solutions to some of her issues. One day, Archie was trying to help Robin with her tantrums.
"It seems to make you upset when people ask you to do difficult things" Archie observed.
"Yeah!" Robin exclaimed, playing with her teddy bear.
"I have to do difficult things sometimes too" Archie said "Do you know what I do".
"Play" Robin said.
Archie chuckled.
"And what else?" He asked.
Robin didn't know how to answer and kept playing with the teddy bear.
"He talks to people" Zelena offered.
"Talk to people" Robin said.
"And some people are sure hard to talk to" Archie said.
"Like Blue" Robin said.
"I won't name anyone in particular" Archie said. He had people in mind he found difficult. Like Grumpy and Dr. Whale. But he wasn't going to encourage Robin to gossip about people.
"When I have difficulty talking to people" he continued "I try a different approach. If what I do isn't working I find another way to finish a task".
Robin was playing and seemingly not listening.
"Harder for me" Robin said "cause Emma did trick on me".
"Trick?" Archie questioned, looking at Zelena for an explanation.
"It's what Dodger has decided to call Emma's growth spell around her" Zelena explained "he says it softens the edge".
"That trick makes you special" Archie told Robin "It makes you able to do things nobody else can. It also gives you difficulties nobody else has, but we can look at those as opportunities to show what you can do".
Robin looked contemplative. Then she used magic to levitate the teddy bear.
"That's pretty neat" Archie said "I bet you couldn't always do that".
Robin shook her head.
"So you had to try something you didn't know how to do before you could make the bear fly?" He asked.
Robin nodded. Archie presented her with an eight-piece sliding puzzle with a picture of a turtle on it.
"Have you seen this before?" He asked.
Robin shook her head. Archie showed her how it worked. She tried to solve the puzzle while the teddy bear still floated above. When she began to get frustrated with the puzzle, she wasn't thinking about the teddy bear anymore. In frustration, she hit the puzzle on the floor. The teddy bear fell in her arms and she laughed and hugged the teddy bear.
"The teddy bear seems to calm you down" Archie observed "a good tool for next time you're frustrated".
"Yeah!" Robin exclaimed. Thens he kept trying at the puzzle.
"You can bring that puzzle home" Archie said "show me later when you solve it".
"Yeah!" Robin said, excitedly.
