Butcher shop

"Do you have any animal blood?" Melissa asked the butcher

"Is it for a spell?" Butcher asked Melissa

"Something like that." Melissa said

"Which type?" Butcher asked again

"Deer." Melissa said


Mary Margaret's apartment.

"I thought the terms of our agreement were quite clear." Gold said

"I'm not leaving Henry here with Cora lurking about, so either we both go, or we both stay." Emma said

"Then, we'll have to purchase another plane ticket, won't we?" Gold asked Emma

Mary Margaret enters and helps Henry put on his jacket.

"We're flying?" Melissa asked Gold

"Don't worry, I'm covering expenses. Even the new ones." Gold said

David overhears the conversation as he comes down the stairs. "You're a real gentleman, aren't you? Alright, Gold, you're going out there with my family. Just know, if anything happens to them…" David said as Gold interrupt his sentence

"Then you'll what? Cross the town line? And David Nolan will hunt me down in his animal rescue van?" Gold asked David

"I'll be devastated. This isn't a threat. It's a request. Take care of them." David said

"I promise no harm will come to them. After all, we have a deal." Gold said

"David! Snow! (Both of them looked at her.) Please take care of her. Take care of my Jenna." Melissa said

"Margaret we got this. Ok. We got the list of what she likes and her sleep schedule." Mary Margaret said

"We got it under control." David said

Melissa pours animal blood in a cup. She drinks it as her veins appear and fangs come out.

"Animal blood?" Mary Margaret asked Melissa

"Got it at the butcher shop. (Mary Margaret hands Melissa a napkin.) Thanks. (She takes the napkin and wipes the blood off of her lip. Her veins and fangs disappeared. She looked at her daughter.) I'm gonna come back. Mommy has to go on a trip. (She kissed her daughter on the head.) I love you." Melissa said


Gold, equipped with the shawl around his neck, is driving. Emma is in the passenger seat, Melissa and Henry is in the back seat. They are heading down a deserted road in Gold's car.

"So… Where are we going?" Henry asked Gold

"Logan International Airport." Mr. Gold said

"I think he meant after that." Melissa said

"Let's just take things one step at a time, shall we?" Gold asked them

"You really think that shawl's going to work?" Emma asked Gold

"After all, you're a supernatural." Melissa said

"Does everything have to be supernatural to you?" Mr. Gold asked Melissa

"Yep." Melissa said

"Well, if it doesn't, and I revert to my cursed self, we're all going to have some problems. It'll work." Gold said

They pass the 'leaving Storybrooke' sign and a wave of magic passes over Gold. There is a brief pause.

"So?" Emma asked again

"You ok?" Melissa asked Gold

"My name is Rumpelstiltskin. And we're going find my son." Gold said


Emma, Henry, Melissa, and Gold have arrived at the airport. They pick up their boarding passes from the desk, and then enter the line for security.

"Have you ever been outside of Storybrooke before, Mr. Gold?" Henry asked Gold

"No." Gold said

"Are you nervous?" Henry asked again

"No." Gold said

"Are you worried about meeting your son?" Henry asked again

"No, Henry, I'm fine." Gold said

"Henry, chill. If you ask to many questions, you're going to give him a headache." Melissa said

"Sorry Mr. Gold." Henry said

"It's ok, Henry." Gold said

"We're next." Emma said

Henry, Emma, and Melissa begin taking off their shoes to put in the boxes.

"It must be really hard not to use magic – being like everyone else." Henry said

"Except me." Melissa said

Emma looks at Gold.

"You've got to put your shoes in." Emma said

"How terribly uncivilized." Gold said

Gold takes off his shoes. Henry goes through the metal detector.

"Uh, scarf and the cane go in the basket." TSA Agent said

"What?" Gold asked in confusion

"Scarf and cane go in the basket." TSA Agent said

"I can't." Gold said

"You have to." Emma said

The man behind them interrupts.

"It ain't rocket science, buddy. You ever been on a plane before?" The man asked Gold

"Have you ever been impaled upon a cane before?" Gold threaten the man

"Sorry sir. Our father is a little nervous. He actually never been on a plane before. It's a family reunion." Melissa said

"Father?" Gold asked Melissa

"Just go with it." Melissa whispers

TSA Agent looked in Melissa's eyes as she compels him to forget what he said about Gold's shawl and the cane.

"Forget about what I've said about the shawl and the cane. Come across the metal detector." TSA agent said

"Ok. (Gold puts his cane in the box. He goes through the metal detector. He gives a slight nod and the three of them begin to put their shoes back on. Henry is there waiting for them.) Thank you." Mr. Gold thanking Melissa

"Don't mention it." Melissa said

"Guys, there's a Cinnabons here!" Henry said

Margaret, Emma, Gold and Henry are waiting by the gate. Gold is pacing back and forth.

"Do you want something to eat?" Emma asked Gold

"No." Mr. Gold said


Melissa, Emma, Henry, and Gold have boarded the plane and are waiting for takeoff. Henry has a box of cinnamon buns on his lap.

"You good, kid?" Emma asked her son

"You kidding? A trip with you, first plane ride, and we're going on a quest like in the book. The only thing that could make this day better? Is more frosting." Henry said

Melissa looks down and notices Gold's bandaged hand.

"It's going to be alright. We're going to find your son." Melissa said

"I know." Gold said

The takeoff announcement begins.

"Welcome, folks, to Ajira Airlines regional flight fifty-three, with non-stop service to New York City. Our flight time tonight is forty-two minutes. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride." Announcement

The plane engines start. Gold stares ahead blankly. Melissa knows the risks that she's going to take when she sees Neal again.
