Outside of Mary Margaret's apartment.
"So, now that we know who we are dealing with, how do we find this Wicked Witch?" David asked them
"Might I suggest we start by asking, if anyone has seen a woman with green skin running around." Hook said
"We're cursed in Storybrooke. She'll look like any one of us." Regina said
"Then we start somewhere we know she's been." Emma said
"Regina's office." Melissa said
"I've been over it with a fine-toothed comb. She left no trace." Regina said
"But you were combing for magic." Emma said
"Maybe there's physical evidence that you missed." Melissa said
"Good idea." David said
"We can't let Henry wander around alone with that witch and her flying monkeys out there." Regina said
"Not to mention Jenna and Tyler. And especially my son right here which by the way August and I haven't remember our son. I got this engangment ring right here on my finger." Melissa said
"We can't find Neal. There's no sign of him." August said
"No." Emma said
"Point being, someone needs to protect Henry. He doesn't even know what's going on." Regina said
"I'm guessing you're volunteering?" Emma asked Regina
"If you find anything, call me." Regina said
"Just remember, he thinks we're here because I'm on a case." Emma said
"Well, look who's gotten good at lying." Regina said
"Just don't let anything slip up. As far as Henry knows, you're just Madame Mayor and that's it." Emma said
"I'm well aware of how Henry sees me." Regina said as she leaves
"I'll watch out for Tyler and Jenna. Not to mention our son." August said
"Be careful." Melissa said
Melissa kissed August.
"I will." August said
August takes the baby and exits.
"Time is wasting. There's something wicked in your town. What do you say we go find find it?" Hook asked them
"I'm the one who's going to do the tracking." Melissa said
Town Hall.
Mayor's Office.
Melissa, Hook, David and Emma are looking for evidence. David notices a red-colored partial footprint on the floor.
"I think I have a partial footprint. You guys see anything?" David asked them
"Other than an austere sense of design? Nothing." Hook said
David bends with his knees and examines the partial footprint more closely.
"Is that blood?" Emma asked her father
"It's berry." David said
"Like a fruit?" Emma asked again
"No, like holly berry." David said
"Are you some sort of botanist in this life, mate?" Hook asked David
"I've worked in an animal shelter. Saw dogs track them all the time. The bushes grow in the woods." David said
"What about you love?" Hook asked Melissa
"Half vampire remember. I drink blood of the animals. So I know some stuff. My guess. In the north-west corner, not far from the toll bridge." Margaret said
The woods.
Melissa, Hook, and Emma pass by a holly berry bush. Using his hook, Hook shakes some berries off the bush.
Emma watches him.
"You'll look for any excuse to use that thing, won't you?" Emma asked Hook
"At least we know we're in the right place." Hook said
"Let's get to it." Melissa said
"You know something, Flair? Whenever you're around, sometimes I'm afraid that you're going to drain all of my blood." Hook said
"I did threaten you once." Melissa said
"What the hell were you doing the last year on that ship? I'm guessing it was one swashbuckling tale after another. Till you decided to come back and save me." Emma said
"Exactly." Hook said
Emma turns around to face him.
"You're lying." Emma said
"Excuse me?" Hook asked Emma
"What happened back there? What aren't you telling me?" Emma asked again
"Nothing. It's my tale. I'm sticking to it." Hook said
"Still don't believe you." Emma said
"You're sure as hell are lying about something." Melissa said
"Well, let's leave at that and you can just say thank you." Hook said
"For my memories? I already did." Emma said
"Well, from saving you from a loveless marriage." Hook said
"What?" Melissa asked in confusion
"He was...I thought that he was human." Emma said
"You wanted a normal life. You wanted to leave Tyler and my daughter?" Melissa asked Emma
"He's a grown up. I knew that someday I was going to leave them." Emma said
"Don't you think that someday he would trigger the werewolf curse again? Someone would have to look after mine and his daughter when his full transformation started. Have you at least thought of that? (Emma looks down.) Didn't think so." Melissa said
Melissa walks away teleports out of there with blue smoke.
Mary Margaret's Apartment.
Zelena opens the door and Melissa was there. Zelena looked at Snow.
"You have a visitor." Zelena said as she leaves
Melissa comes in.
"You ok. Did you help them find something about the witch?" Mary Margaret asked Melissa
"Actually I can't handle Emma's trust right now." Melissa said
"What happened?" Mary Margaret asked again
"The missing year. Our cursed memories. All she wanted was to have a normal life. She doesn't care about Tyler's werewolf curse." Melissa said
"I'm sorry." Mary Margaret apologize
Melissa teleports out.
Enchanted Forest Past.
One year ago.
The castle.
Melissa touches her belly. She looked at the stars and thinking about her daughter. August opened the door and seen her standing there looking at the stars.
"I know you miss her. (Melissa sighs. August holds her hand.) I promise you. You will see her again." August said
"How can I? It's pretty much over for that." Melissa said
"I heard that Neal and Belle are going to bring back Rumplestiltskin." August said
"How?" Melissa asked August
"Belle is finding a solution for that." August said
"That's great." Melissa said
"I've to go somewhere. Are going to be ok here for awhile." August said
"Sure." Melissa said
Both August and Melissa kissed. August opens the door and shuts it behind him. He gets out a tiny box out of his pouch and the ring is in there. He wants to pick the right time to propose to her. But not right now.
