Storybrooke Present
Emma, Henry, and Mary Margaret arrive at the hospital. Both Melissa and Graham are investigating.
"What's going on? Is it John Doe? Is he okay?" Mary Margaret asked both Melissa and Graham
"He's missing." Graham said
The three notice that Regina is in John Doe's room. Regina sees them, and approaches them.
"What the hell are you doing here? (Regina asked Emma.) And you – I thought you were at the arcade. Now you're lying to me?" Regina asked her adopted son
"What happened to John Doe? Did someone take him?" Mary Margaret asked Graham
"We don't know yet." Graham said
"His IVs were ripped out but there's no sign for sure there's a struggle." Melissa said
"What did you do?" Henry asked his adopted mother
"You think I had something to do with this?" Regina asked again
"It is curious that the Mayor is here." Emma said
"I'm here because I'm his emergency contact." Regina said
"You know him?" Mary Margaret asked Regina
"I found him. On the side of the road years ago with no ID. I brought him here." Regina said
"Mayor Mills saved his life." Dr. Whale said
"Will he be okay?" Mary Margaret asked Dr. Whale
"Okay? The man's been on feeding tubes for years on constant supervision. He needs to get back here right away or, quite honestly, 'okay' might be a pipe dream." Dr. Whale said
"How about we quit jibber jabber and start looking." Melissa said
"Since I clearly can't keep you away from my son, I guess I'm just going to have to keep my son away from you. Enjoy my shirt, because that's all you're getting. (Regina said to Emma.) Sheriff and Deputy, find John Doe. You heard Dr. Whale. Time is precious." Regina said
"What is wrong with you Regina? She's not the bad guy here." Melissa said
"You don't know me. I took you and Jenna in this town." Regina said
"And you don't know me either. I mean ever since she got here, you were trying to make her life into a living hell. Emma is his mother too. Someday, you will give piece a chance. She's not going to take him away from you." Melissa said
Both Regina and her adopted son leave.
"Thanks" Emma thanking Melissa
"I just don't like it when people judge others." Melissa said
"You didn't have to do that." Emma said
"I know." Melissa said
"Doctor, how long between your rounds since you last saw him?" Graham asked Dr. Whale
"Twelve hours or so." Dr. Whale said
Mystic Falls Past.
High school.
Both Stefan and Melissa is talking with Bonnie.
"I can't undo the tomb spell, Stefan. Even if I wanted to. It took both me and my Grams to undo it the first time." Bonnie said
"But I can open the door, right? I can talk to her." Stefan said
"Yeah but Damon's right. She's not gonna tell you anything, not without something in return." Bonnie said
"I know but Bonnie I have to do something. I have no idea who has Elena; I have no idea where she is." Stefan said
"I haven't told Jenna anything. I mean I told her that Elena slept over at the house but she forgot to tell her." Melissa said
Bonnie thought of something.
"What if there was another way to find her?" Bonnie asked Stefan
"Like some locator spell?" Melissa asked Bonnie
"Something like that." Bonnie said
Melissa, Jeremy, and Bonnie are in Alaric's classroom.
There is a map and two candles on the table.
"How does this is work exactly?" Melissa asked Bonnie
"I'll use his blood to draw energy for the tracking spell. (Bonnie demonstrated that it was Jeremy's blood that needed to do the spell.) You're blood related; it'll make the connection stronger." Bonnie said
Stefan arrives.
"Alright, Alaric said we've got to clear out of here within ten minutes. I've got weapons, he stocked me up." Stefan said
"Are you ready?" Bonnie ask Jeremy if he was ready and he nodded. She cuts Jeremy's hand. His blood falls on the map. She concentrates herself to cast the spell. The blood drops and merge into one and goes toward Elena's location. "There. She's there."
"That's 300 miles away." Jeremy said
"Maybe the spell went wrong?" She said
"The spell is right." Bonnie said
"No, Bonnie. We need a more exact location than that." Stefan said
"That's as close as I can get." Bonnie said
"We can map it, aerial view will show us what's around there, help us narrow down the area." She said
"Perfect. Call me with whatever you find." Stefan said
"I'm coming with you!" Jeremy said
"No Jeremy, you're not." Stefan said
"He's right." Melissa said
"No, I'm not just gonna sit here. What if she's hurt? Or worse? What if she's...?" Jeremy said as Stefan finishes his sentence
"She's not. You three go back to your house just in case. I'll call you the minute I find her." Stefan said
"Ok." Melissa said
"Well, you can't do this alone." Jeremy said
Damon arrives.
"He's not. Let's go." Damon said
"You're coming with me?" Stefan asked his brother
"It's Elena." Damon said
"Guys." Melissa said to both Damon and Stefan
"Yeah." Damon said
"Don't die. If a werewolf is out there..." Melissa said as Stefan finishes her sentence
"It won't be." Stefan said
"We've got this." Damon said
Storybrooke Present
Everyone heads to the security room. Walter and Leroy are both there.
"You two were the only employees on the floor last night. And you saw nothing?" Melissa asked both Walter and Leroy
"Not a thing." Walter said
"Did anyone walk by?" Emma said
"I didn't see nothin'." Leroy said
"Miss Blanchard, was there anything unusual you saw during your trip with your class?" Graham asked Mary Margaret
"I don't think so." Mary Margaret said
"We're looking at the wrong tape. This is the ward where Henry's class put up decorations." Emma said
"If this was really the tape from last night, we'd see the banners the kids hung." Melissa said
"Tch, you fell asleep again." Leroy said
"You selling me out?" Walter asked
"I ain't getting fired for this." Leroy said
"At least I don't drink on the job." Walter said
"Gentlemen, enough." Graham said
"Where's the real tape?" Melissa asked again
The tape is switched. They see John Doe get up and walk out the door.
"He walked out alone. He's okay." Mary Margaret said as she was relieved
"Four hours ago. Where does this door lead?" Emma asked Leroy
"The woods." Leroy said
All four of them are in the woods searching for John Doe.
"The trail runs out here." Graham said
"You sure?" Emma asked
"Just give me a second." Graham said
"Right. Sorry." Emma said
Melissa concentrate and smells blood.
"This way." Melissa said
They followed her. Henry join with them.
"Henry!" Mary Margaret said
"Did you find him yet?" Henry asked them
"Almost. We're close." Melissa said
"You shouldn't be here." Emma said to her son
"I can help. I know where he's going." Henry said to his mother
"And where's that?" Mary Margaret asked Henry
"He's looking for you. You're the one who woke him up. You're the last one he saw. He wants to find you!" Henry said
Melissa was close on finding John Doe.
"Henry, it's not about me. I just… I think he's lost and confused. He's been in a coma a long time." Mary Margaret said
"But he loves you! You need to stop chasing him and let him find you." Henry said
"Kid. You need to go home. Where's your mom? She's going to kill me and then you…and then me again." Emma said
"She dropped me at the house. Then, went right out." Henry said
"Well, we need to get you back immediately." Emma said
"No!" Henry said
"Guys!" Melissa said
Melissa spots John Doe as he was lying in the water.
"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!" Mary Margaret said as she was panicking
"We need an ambulance! At the old Toll Bridge, as soon as possible." Graham said
They drag John Doe to the shore.
"No, no, no, no, no! No, no, no! I found you!" Mary Margaret said as she keeps panicking
"It's going to be okay." Emma said to Mary Margaret
"Help's coming." Melissa said
"Is he okay?" Henry asked as he was worried
"Henry…" Emma said
"Is he going to be okay?" Henry asked again
"Henry, don't look. Okay? Don't look." Emma said as
Emma covers her sons eyes.
"Come back to us. Come back to me." Mary Margaret said as
Mary Margaret starts CPR on John Doe. When she puts her mouth on his, he starts breathing again and coughs up water.
"You saved me." John Doe said
"She did it. She did it! She woke him up." Henry said
"Yeah, kid. She did." Emma said
"Hell yes." Melissa said
"Thank you." John Doe said
"Who are you?" Mary Margaret asked John Doe
"I don't know." John Doe said
"It's okay. You're going to be okay." Mary Margaret said

Storybrooke Present.
John Doe is brought in. Everyone is back at the hospital.
"Watch your back. Coming through!" Nurse said
"We got it from here." Dr. Whale said
The five watch through the glass as he is being treated by doctors. Kathryn, his wife, bursts into the room where John Doe is being treated and rushes to his side.
"David! David, is that you?" Kathryn said
"Excuse me, ma'am?" Dr. Whale said
"Oh my god…" Kathryn said
"Ma'am, you can't be in here. Please, you can't be here right now." Dr. Whale said
"David…" Kathryn
"You can't be here, ma'am. Can you wait over here for a second, okay?" Dr. Whale said
"Who is that?" Mary Margaret asked
Regina walks up behind them.
"His wife. (Both Kathryn and David are in the room together. Melissa, Emma, Regina, Henry and Mary Margaret are outside David's room.) His name is David Nolan. And that's his wife, Kathryn. And the joy on her face, well, it's put me in quite the forgiving mood. (Regina looked at her adopted son.) We'll talk about your insubordination later. Do you know what insubordination means?" (Henry shakes his head.) "It means you're grounded." Regina said
Kathryn exits David's room.
"Thank you. Thank you for finding my David." Kathryn thanking them
"Um, I-I don't understand. You didn't… You didn't know that he was here in a coma?" Mary Margaret asked in curiosity
"A few years ago, David and I were not getting along. It was my fault, I know that now. I was difficult and unsupportive. I told him if he didn't like things, he could leave. And he did. And I didn't stop him. It was the worst mistake I ever made." Kathryn said
"You didn't go looking for him?" Melissa asked Kathryn
"I assumed he'd left town all this time. And now I know why I never heard from him. Now I get to do what I've wanted to do forever – say I'm sorry. Now we get a second chance." Kathryn said
"That's wonderful." Mary Margaret said
Dr. Whale enters.
"Well, it's something of a miracle." Dr. Whale said
"He's okay?" Kathryn said
"Ah, physically, he's on the mend, um, his memory is another issue. It may take time, if at all." Dr. Whale said
"What brought him back?" Mary Margaret asked Dr. Whale
"That's the thing. There's no explanation. Something just clicked in him." Dr. Whale said
"He just got up and decided to go for a stroll?" Melissa asked Dr. Whale
"He woke up and he was delirious and his first instinct was to go find something, I guess." Dr. Whale
"Someone." Henry said
"Can I see him?" Kathryn asked Dr. Whale
"Yeah, of course." Dr. Whale said
Kathryn goes back into David's room.
"Henry, let's go." Regina said
"Wait, my backpack. (Henry goes back to grab his backpack and whispers to Mary Margaret.) Don't believe them. You're the one he was looking for." Henry said
"Henry…" Mary Margaret said as Henry interrupt her sentence
"He was going to the Troll Bridge. It's like the end of the story." Henry said
"Henry, he was going there because it's the last thing I read to him." Mary Margaret said
"No, it's because you belong together." Henry said
"Henry." Regina said
Both Regina and her adopted son leave. Emma and Melissa catches up to Regina and Henry, who are leaving the entrance of the hospital.
"Madam Mayor!" Emma said getting Regina's attention
"Wait by the car." Regina said
Henry leaves the three alone.
"Miss Swan and Miss Flair, I let you both off the hook back there. Don't press it." Regina said
"I'm sorry, but Mrs. Nolan? Kind of feels like her story could be a load of crap." Emma said
"All this time, there's a John Doe lying around in a coma and nobody puts it in the news, nobody goes looking." Melissa said
"And something's not right here." Emma said
"Well, what else would make sense to the both of you? Why would Miss Nolan lie? Do you think I cast a spell on her?" Regina asked both Emma and Melissa
"It's rather strange that you've been his emergency contact all these years and you only found her now." Melissa said
"It's entirely possible to get lost here. It's entirely possible for bad things to happen." Regina said
"And just when it's convenient you manage to solve the mystery?" Emma asked
"That tape you found was a stroke of genius. So, we went back and looked at past tapes. Turns out Mr. Doe's been talking in his sleep. He's been calling out for a Kathryn. After that, it wasn't hard to put the pieces together. True love won out. So bask in the moment, my dears. Were it not for you two, they would have lived their lives completely alone. That's why I'm willing to forgive your incessant rudeness. Because all this has reminded me of something oh-so very important. How grateful I am to have Henry. Because not having someone? Well, that's the worst curse imaginable." Regina said
Meanwhile Melissa is at home with her daughter. She heard a phone ringing.
"Hello" Melissa answers
"Hey" Damon said
"How are you?" Melissa said
"Just fine. But there's some news that I need to tell you." Damon said
Damon telling Melissa on the phone that Bonnie's been dead ever since graduation day and Jeremy knew about it.
"I'll come down there by tomorrow." Melissa said
"But what about your new life that you wanted?" Damon said
"I'll be there for Bonnie. I'll be there by tomorrow." Melissa said
"But..." Damon said
Melissa hung up the phone.
Melissa calls one of the nuns to take care of Jenna so that she can pack.
Melissa calls Graham.
"Hello" Graham said
"Hey Graham. It's Melissa. I know it's 9pm. But I need to get out of town. Just for the week. My friend in Mystic Falls died and I have to go to her. Please don't fire me. This is not a joke." Melissa said
"Go ok. Just tell me how it goes when you get back. Ok." Graham said
"Thank you for understanding." Melissa said
"You're welcome." Graham said
"Bye" Melissa said as she hung up
Melissa had a flashback about 2 months ago when she seen doctor Whale. Of course she thought it was John Gilbert aka Elena's biological father. But it was never him.
"John! John Gilbert!" Melissa said
"I'm sorry. You're confusing me with someone else." Dr. Whale said
"I'm sorry." Melissa said
