Mystic Falls Past.
High school.
Tyler approaching Melissa.
"Can we talk?" Tyler asked Melissa
"Sure." Melissa said
Lockwood Mansion.
Tyler's room.
Melissa sitting on his bed and Tyler pacing around the room.
"What's going on?" Melissa asked Tyler
"This is going to sound really stupid." Tyler said
"My whole life is weird. So lay it on me." Melissa said
"Do you remember my uncle Mason? He used to be in town. But he's not anymore." Tyler said
"Yeah." Melissa said
"He told me about some Lockwood curse. A curse that triggered my wolf side." Tyler said
Melissa pretends to not know the situation. So she just played along.
"You're saying that...that you're a werewolf?" Melissa asked again
"Yes. And you're not the only person who knows. Caroline knows too." Tyler said
"Oh." Melissa said
"She's also a vampire." Tyler said
"Wow." Melissa said
"I know that all of this isn't exactly was it seems." Tyler said
"Trust me. I believe you." Melissa said
"Thank you. So how's the baby in there? In the belly?" Tyler asked Melissa
"Nine months so far. I'm guessing she's going to be out anytime soon." Melissa said
"Yeah." Tyler said
"Since you're a werewolf. I guess our baby is a werewolf too. Let's just hope that she doesn't trigger her curse." Melissa said
Storybrooke Present.
Emma, Melissa, and David are sitting in the office at the station. Emma hands him a mug of tea.
"Thank you. I hope Kathryn's somewhere warm, not out in the cold." David said
"David. I think you need to start worrying about yourself a little bit more here. Your wife is missing." Emma said
"And you're in love with another woman. There's this… Unexplained phone call." Melissa said
"I know, I know. I just… I can't explain why it says that. I didn't do anything to my wife." David said
"I'm pretty good at spotting a liar. And, honestly, liars have better material. Now, go home." Emma said
"I can go?" David asked both Emma and Melissa
"We don't even know if there was a crime yet. So, get some sleep." Melissa said
"Thank you." David thanking both Melissa and Emma
David stands up to leave.
"And, David? Maybe… Get a lawyer." Emma said
Next day.
At the station.
Melissa comes in and sees Ruby answering phone calls.
"Sheriff's station. Hey, Miss Ginger. Uh, no, that's not a prowler. That's Archie's dog – Pongo. Throw him a vanilla wafer. He'll quiet down. Did you still want to talk to Emma or Margaret? Great. Glad I could help." Ruby said
Emma, who has overheard Ruby on the phone, walks in.
"How's it going, guys?" Emma asked them
"I just got here before you did." Melissa said
"Ok. And Ruby?" Emma asked Ruby
"I'm Great. Except I can't do anything." Ruby said
"I'm sure that's not true. I just saw you on the phone. That was good." Emma said
"Me too." Melissa said
"That? That's nothing." Ruby said
"No. No, it isn't. I actually have some money in the budget if you want to help out around here." Emma said
"Yes! Thank you! Yes. Um, I could answer phones and help out. Um, is there anything else that you need done? Organize files, cleaning up? Please – I want to be useful." Ruby said
"Well, we're swamped with the Kathryn Nolan thing. If you maybe want to grab us lunch." Melissa said
"I would never say no to a grilled cheese." Emma said
"Or a hamburger." Melissa said
"Done. You want anything?" Ruby asked
"Um, two chocolate chip cookies, an apple pie, and a hot dog." Henry said
"He ate at school." Emma said
As Ruby goes to leave, Mary Margaret enters.
"Hey! Lunch, Mary Margaret? I'm getting for everyone." Ruby said
"Uh, no. I'm not hungry. (Ruby leaves.) David's in the woods. There's something wrong with him. He looked right through me. It's like… It's like he was a different person." Mary Margaret said
Emma, Melissa, and Henry are at the station. Both Emma and Melissa is getting ready to leave, while Henry is hiding his book.
"Okay, kid. Don't mean to kick you out, but Melissa and I got to go see if David's in some kind of trouble out there." Emma said
"It's okay. I'm supposed to meet my mom. (Henry locks his book in one of the desk drawers.) There." Henry said
"Nice." Melissa said
"You know, you can let Ruby do more. She's Little Red Riding Hood." Henry said
"With the little basket?" Emma asked her son
"She seems like a badass." Melissa said
"She is. She just doesn't remember how cool she is or what she's capable of. But it's true. (Ruby returns with the food as Henry leaves.) Hey, Ruby." Henry said
"Hey, Henry. Got your grilled cheese and hamburger." Ruby said
"Thank you." Emma thanking Ruby
"Thanks." Melissa thanking Ruby
"You all right?" Emma asked Ruby
"I guess. I mean, this is something I know how to do. So, yay." Ruby said
"Okay, let's pack these back up, and we can eat it in the car." Emma said
"We need to do a little wilderness search, and we need your help." Melissa said
"I'm pretty sure I'm just going to screw it up, but…" Ruby said as Emma interrupt her sentence
"No, you won't. Come on – you can do this." Emma said
Emma, Melissa, and Ruby are searching through the woods.
"This place is massive. How are we supposed to find one guy?" Ruby asked both Melissa and Emma
"Hey, shh. We might be able to hear him." Emma said
"It's massive." Ruby said
"I'm following the path because there are boot prints, so just stay close." Emma said
"I shouldn't even be here. I'm just going to screw everything up. Oh, wait." Ruby said
"No you won't. You just need to have confidence in yourself." Melissa said
Ruby stops walking and both Emma and Melissa bumps into her.
"Ruby?" Emma asked Ruby
"I hear him." Ruby said
"Really?" Melissa asked Ruby
"Yeah, really. I hear him or…something. I… I know where he is." Ruby said
Ruby takes off through the woods.
"No. What are you doing?" Emma asked again
"He's over here!" Ruby said
They follow her.
"Ruby!" Melissa said
"Ruby! (Both Emma and Melissa finds Ruby standing over a bleeding and unconscious David. Emma kneels next to him, and tries to shake him awake.) David? Oh, god. Come on! David, come on! Wake up! David, wake up!" Emma said
David wakes up.
"Emma? What? Ruby? Melissa?" David asked them
"Do you remember where you are?" Melissa asked David
"No, I… What the hell? I was… I was in the office. I don't remember anything." David said
"You don't remember anything since you were in my office? Last night?" Emma asked David
"No, I don't." David said
Emma, Melissa, and David are at the hospital, where he is being treated by Dr. Whale.
"Well, he's bruised, scratched up, a little dehydrated. What'd you expect." Dr. Whale said
"He's got a cut on his head." Melissa said
"It's superficial. I can refer him to Dr. Hopper for a mental health eval, but, it's my opinion, that whatever caused this blackout, is the same phenomenon we observed when he came out of his coma. Moving around, acting out, not remembering it later." Dr. Whale said
"We will figure it out." Emma said
"It's so strange. I can't even believe it happened." David said
"How functional could he be during one of these episodes?" Emma asked Dr. Whale
"Did he talked to someone?" Melissa asked Dr. Whale
"Well, people in similar states, even under sleep medication, do all sorts of things. Cooking, talking, driving a car." Dr. Whale said
"You want to know if I could've made that call. Or more. You… You want to know if I could've… What, kidnapped her? Killed her?" David asked them
"Now, take it easy there. No one's saying you did anything bad, David." Dr. Whale said
"No, but it would explain why it didn't seem like I was lying. I wouldn't know." David said
Regina quickly storms into the room.
"Stop talking, David. What are the both of you doing here? Why doesn't this man have a lawyer present? Haven't you two even read him his rights?" Regina asked Emma and Melissa
"No, because he's not under arrest." Emma said
"We're just talking to him." Melissa said
"Right. Just talking." Regina said
"What are you doing here?" Melissa asked Regina
"Mayor Mills is still Mr. Nolan's emergency contact." Dr. Whale said
"What?" Melissa asked in confusion
"You have to be kidding me." Emma said
"I thought that changed to Kathryn?" David asked in confusion
"Well, Kathryn's currently unavailable. Some people haven't found her yet. Stop trying to place blame and just find her." Regina said
"There's a whole lot of Maine to search, Regina." Melissa said
"Well, you covered this room. I suggest you branch out." Regina said
Emma calls Ruby at the station.
"Hey, stop. It's me. Here's the thing – the last time David went for a dream walk, he went to the Toll Bridge. You know the one? It's a crazy hunch, I want you to take my bug and go and see if he was there." Emma giving her orders
"No, I could get somebody else to. Maybe Margaret." Ruby said
"No. She's still here with me. (Put her on speaker phone.) Ruby, you were great out there. We still don't know how you found him. You can do this." Emma said
"I don't know." Ruby said
"It's going to be dark out soon. David's going to be let out. If there is something there, we've got to get there first." Emma said
"Ruby, we don't have time to argue. Can you do this?" Melissa asked Ruby
"Yes." Ruby said
Still on speakerphone.
"I mean, what am I even looking for?" Ruby asked both Emma and Melissa
"Anything out of the ordinary. Something that doesn't belong there." Emma said
"And…if I find something?" Ruby asked again
"Just follow your instincts." Melissa said
"You guys…can't give me a clue what I'm looking for?" Ruby asked again
"Anything of Kathryn's." Melissa said
"Ruby?" Emma asked Ruby
"What's going on?" Melissa asked Ruby
"Did you find something? (Ruby screams.) Ruby!" Emma said as she was worried
"Ruby! Ruby, what's going on?" Melissa asked again as she was worried
At the station.
Emma, Melissa, and Ruby stare at the opened jewelry box sitting on the desk.
"Is… Is that what I think it is?" Ruby asked both Melissa and Emma
"Yeah." Melissa said
"I can't look." Ruby said
Ruby turns around and Emma shuts the lid of the box.
"You okay?" Emma asked Ruby
"I don't know what I am." Ruby said
"It's going to be all right. We can figure out what happened now." Melissa said
"Ruby, you did good." Emma said
"This, is doing good?" Ruby asked again
"Yeah. It's amazing. First, you found David, and now, this." Emma said
"We're impressed." Melissa said
"Don't be. I'm… I'm scared out of my mind." Ruby said
"But you did it anyway." Melissa said
Emma and Melissa enters the animal shelter.
"What is it? Did you find her?" David asked both Melissa and Emma
"We found a box." Melissa explains
"Wait… Wait… What does that mean?" David asked again
"We think it… We think that she…" Emma said as David interrupt her sentence
"What?" David asked again
"There was a human heart inside it." Melissa said
"Oh, my god." Mary Margaret said
Mary Margaret was shocked. David breaks down in tears.
"No. No." David said
"We're going to send it out for some tests." Emma said
"But there aren't any other missing people." Melissa said
"Maybe you two should go." Mary Margaret said as she suggested
"There's more." Emma said
"What?" David asked again
"There were fingerprints inside the lid of the box. We ran them through the records of everyone in town, and there was a match." Melissa said
"Arrest me." David said
"No. David!" Mary Margaret said
"Arrest me. Do it!" David said
"David, the fingerprints weren't yours." Emma said
"What?" David asked again
"They were Mary Margaret's." Melissa said
