Boston Past. 1982
The Snow Queen is walking on Boston's streets. She sees a psychic shop. She enters
"You have travelled a great distance, but I can help you. Madame Faustina is here." Madame Faustina said
"Sorceress, can you use your powers of crystal gazing to show me two girls not yet born?" Snow Queen asked Madame Faustina
"These girls are special to you?" Madame Faustina asked the Snow Queen
"Very much so. At the age of 28 and 19, they will arrive in a town called Storybrooke." Snow Queen said
"Madame Faustina knows all. Come. (They sit down between a crystal ball.) The crystal ball awaits. How will you express your gratitude?" Madame Faustina asked again
"Thank you." Snow Queen thanking Madame Faustina
"Payment. How... How will you pay me?" Madame Faustina asked again
"Will this do?" Snow Queen asked again
Snow Queen gives Madame Faustina her necklace.
"Spirits of the ball, hear me and obey. I see... two girls." Madame Faustina said
"Yes." Snow Queen said
"Two girls... Who are... Special." Madame Faustina said
"Yes. They have many gifts. Tell me more." Snow Queen said
"The girls name is... Susan and Jade." Madame Faustina said
Snow Queen gets out the shop.
"Liar! They names will be Emma Swan and Melissa Flair! The Apprentice's scroll promises this!" Snow Queen said
"I don't know nothin' about a scroll. Now get outta here or you're gonna get a wicked beating." Madame Faustina said
"Where I'm from, charlatans such as yourself are severely punished." Snow Queen said
Snow Queen tried using her magic but failed
"Last warning, fruitcake. Hit the bricks." Madame Faustina said
"Your trickery changes nothing. I will find Emma and Melissa. They're coming, and I will find them. And I will wait for them as long as I must. And then I will have what I deserve." Snow Queen said
Storybrooke Present.
At the sheriff station.
"Prince Charming. Finally I'm seeing you clearly." Mary Margaret said
"And what do you see?" David asked his wife in agony
"A fraud. A shepherd who has no business being royalty." Mary Margaret said
"Well, I see a spoiled little princess who ran away from her troubles, who always runs away!" David said
"I can't believe I had a child with you." Mary Margaret said
"Oh, who knows? Maybe you didn't. Could be Whale's." David said
"You know, if this is what marriage is like, I'm glad you keep postponing ours." Kristoff said
"You don't mean that, Kristoff. It's the spell." Anna said
"No. I'm seeing clearly now, too. I'm beginning to think that this haircut wasn't my only bad idea." Kristoff said
"I know this isn't really you. I know it. But it's still upsetting, so I'm just... I'm gonna go see my sister. And you just stay here handcuffed where you can't hurt anybody... But me... With your words." Anna said
"My parents... That's not who they are." Emma said
"They're their worst selves. It's like when Anna put me in that urn. She didn't mean what she said either... I hope." Elsa said
"I didn't. That doesn't make any of this less horrible." Anna said
"It's okay. You're immune. We all are. And we're together." Elsa said
"It's gonna be all right. Remember, I'm the Savior." Emma said
"Is that like, a real job here?" Anna asked Emma
"Apparently, it is. She promised all these people that she would give them their happy endings." Melissa said
"And I will. I'm just not sure how at this moment." Emma said
"We will find a way." Melissa said
"I think I might have an idea. Do you know how the Snow Queen got the idea for the curse? It's from a legend called the Trolden Glass." Anna said
"Most of us aren't familiar with it." Melissa said
"Its origin isn't important. What matters is how they broke the curse." Anna said
"What do you mean?" Melissa asked Anna
"What was done?" Elsa asked her sister
"Uh, to break the spell... Oh. They had to kill the King. So in this case, that would mean Ingrid." Anna said
"I don't believe killing is ever the answer." Elsa said
"It's never the answer. I mean whoever was the one that does the killing. It would've been Damon." Melissa said
"What?" Emma asked in confusion
"Complication." Melissa said
"Are you sure we can't reason with her?" Elsa asked them
"She's beyond that. We all want another way, but if it comes down to her or the town, I'm gonna do what has to be done." Emma said
"Emma..." Melissa said as Emma cuts her off
"We're out of options. Anna, how are you with kids?" Emma asked Anna
"I love kids. (Emma gives Anna her brother.) Wait." Anna said
"Elsa, we should get going." Emma said
"Wait. I'm the babysitter? The Snow Queen is my aunt, too. If this is what has to happen, I wanna be by your side." Anna said
"Anna, sorry, but someone has to stay here with everyone else." Emma said
"Emma's right. Stay with Kristoff." Elsa said
Boston 1994. Past.
Someone comes knocking on Ingrid's door. Ingrid/Snow Queen opens it.
"May I help you?" Ingrid asked Lexi
"I'm Lexi. Your new neighbor." Lexi said
"I wasn't sure of that I had a new neighbor." Ingrid said
"Can I come in?" Lexi asked Ingrid
"No." Ingrid said
"Excuse me." Lexi said
"Don't think that I don't know your kind." Ingrid said
"You know?" Lexi asked in curiously
"I just read every single one of those newspapers saying that a animal given a few people bite on their necks. You wanted me to invite you in." Ingrid said
"I don't do that to people. And you're after some girl name Melissa. You're not from around here are you?" Lexi asked again
Ingrid shuts the door.
Storybrooke Present.
The Snow Queen gets off out her shop. Melissa, Emma, and Elsa are waiting for her.
"Stop." Emma said
"This must end, Ingrid." Elsa said
"Our magic is a part of us now. We control it, and we control it really well." Melissa said
"I'm so proud of you three. You've finally embraced who you truly are." Snow Queen said
Melissa, Elsa, and Emma try to use their powers on the Snow Queen but they fail.
"Emma." Elsa said
"Again." Emma said
"The love that flows through our ribbons is without equal. Its strength protects the life-force that we all now share." Snow Queen said
"Impossible for us to hurt her." Melissa said
"We gotta get these things off." Emma said
"There's no need. Soon, you won't want to hurt me. Soon, you will love me. For real." Snow Queen said

At Ingrid's house.
"Hey, look what the new girl brought with her." Kevin said
"Give it to me!" Emma said
"Give it back, Kevin. The camera is Emma's, not yours. We respect property in this household, don't we, Kevin?" Ingrid asked Kevin
"Yes, ma'am." Kevin said
"Here you go, Emma. It's okay, sweetie. I know you're new here, but you're gonna be just fine. Okay, lights out in 15! Don't forget to brush your teeth!" Ingrid said as she leaves
"It's your choice, sweetie. You can either give me that camera tomorrow or I can make your life a living hell." Kevin said as he threatens Emma
"Leave her alone." Melissa said as she defends Emma
"Or you do what little girl?" Kevin asked Melissa as he threatens her as well
Kevin pushed Melissa on the floor.
"Kevin?" Ingrid said as she came back
"I didn't...She..." Kevin said as Ingrid cuts her off
"Go to your room." Ingrid said
"But..." Kevin said as Ingrid keeps cutting him off
"NOW. (Ingrid yells. Kevin goes to his room. Ingrid helps Melissa up.) Are you ok? Do you need some ice?" Ingrid asked Melissa as she was worried about her
"No. I'm ok." Melissa said
Ingrid walks away.
"Thanks." Emma thanking Melissa
"I maybe seven but I'm not stupid of letting a sister do that by herself. I'm Melissa." Melissa said
Melissa extended her hand. Emma takes her hand and shakes it.
"Emma...Swan." Emma said
Storybrooke Present.
Melissa, Emma, and Elsa come in Gold's shop.
"Gold?" Emma said
"Belle? You in here? They're gone." Melissa said
"Then what do we do?" Elsa asked Emma
"We do it ourselves." Emma said

Richfield, Minnesota. 1999. Past.
Melissa getting ready for her elementary talent show. She's pacing around the room. Emma knocks on the door.
"Are you ok?" Emma asked Melissa
"I'm fine." Melissa said as she is nervous
"You're lying. I can tell when someone is lying." Emma said
"I'm nervous." Melissa said
"Everyone gets nervous." Emma said
"Give it up for Melissa." Announcer said
"Just look at me when you're on the stage." Emma said
Melissa nods. She goes up there. While Emma goes back to the audience. She looks at her. The music starts and she's singing "hit me with your best shot".
(Melissa)
Well you're a real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
That's okay, let's see how you do it
Put up you dukes, let's get down to it
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away
You come on with it, come on
You don't fight fair
That's okay, see if I care
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I get right back on my feet again
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away
Well you're a real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place
Hit me with your best shot
C'mon, hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away
The audience cheered. Emma and Ingrid hugged Melissa.
"That was great. I didn't know that you could sing like that." Emma said
"I had you to thank." Melissa said
Storybrooke Present.
At Gold's shop.
"I give up. It's useless. The magic protecting this ribbon is just too powerful." Emma said
"I guess the Snow Queen meant what she said about her love." Elsa said
"I'm sorry. I was too busy thinking of ways to punch her to retain that." Emma said
"I second that." Melissa said
"She's said the love flowing through our ribbons was without equal." Elsa said
"Maybe without equal, but not without an opposite that's equally strong. And If her amplified love put these ribbons on our wrists, then maybe..." Emma said as Melissa finishes her sentence
"Someone's equally amplified hatred to get them off." Melissa said
"Two are a bit prickly, but certainly not hateable." Elsa said
"Tell that to Regina." Emma said
"The best chance we have. If Storybrooke wants to survive..." Melissa said as Emma finishes her sentence
"Then Regina needs to hate me like she's never hated me before." Emma said
They're walking to Regina's vault. Regina, who traps inside, fell the arrival.
Richfield, Minnesota past 1999
Both Melissa and Emma is at the funfair with Ingrid.
"Ooh! What do I do? Help!" Emma said
"Don't look at me! You're driving!" Ingrid said
"Oh! I can't do it." Emma said
"Here. Melissa will help you. (Melissa helps Emma with the joystick.) Concentrate." Ingrid said
"Okay. Okay." Emma said
"Okay. Both of you. Trust your instincts and let it rip. Don't let go. Win." Ingrid said
The lights flickering and the claw grabbed a stuff puppy. Emma grabs a it.
"A pretty puppy!" Melissa said
"Yes! Well done." Ingrid said
Emma grabs a ring off the stuff puppy leg.
"I love it." Emma said
Emma gives the stuff puppy too Melissa.
"See, this is a great lesson. If you two can push yourselves and ignore the flickering lights and the distractions of this world, you can accomplish anything." Ingrid said
"Ingrid, not a scholarship to Yale." Emma said
"I know, but you two are special. And someday, the both of you are gonna surprise everybody with your extraordinary gifts and talent." Ingrid said
"Okay, now you're going overboard." Emma said
"I'm serious." Ingrid said
"Ingrid, are you crying?" Melissa asked Ingrid
"No, just... A little emotional." Ingrid said
Emma sees papers in Ingrids purse.
"I'm being sent away again." Emma said
"Is this true?" Melissa asked again
"That's why we spent the day together." Emma said
"No." Ingrid said
"Is it why you're crying." Melissa asked again
"No. You two couldn't be more wrong." Ingrid said
"Then what is it?" Melissa asked
"I'm... I'm filling out the paperwork to adopt you." Ingrid said to Emma
"Are you serious?" Emma asked Ingrid
"I know that it's a big leap. You both may not look at me as a mother. I know how hard that is. But... I... I promise I will be the best big sister that you could ever hope for. (Melissa hugged Emma.) I love you girls." Ingrid said
Storybrooke Present.
Outside Regina's vault.
"Okay, stand back. Containment spell. Okay. Here goes." Emma said
"You can do it." Melissa said
"I'm still getting the hang of the controlling the magic thing. But lucky for us, the next part should be easy for me." Emma said
"What's that?" Elsa asked Emma
"Be prickly. (They enter in the vault.) Whoa. Little late for Halloween." Emma said
"Seriously, how do you walk in that dress?" Melissa asked Regina
"With the poise and composure of a Queen. (Regina looked at Emma.) Perfect timing, Miss Swan. I was just reading up on how to turn you into a garden topiary. (She looked at Elsa.) What's she doing here?" Regina asked both Emma and Melissa
"I wanted to see your face when you learned the truth." Elsa said
"The truth about what?" Regina asked them
"Melissa and I lied to you, Regina, about Marian. We knew all along." Emma said
"We brought her here on purpose." Melissa said
"Tell me something I don't know." Regina said
"What you don't know is why." Melissa said
"Not only did we wanna break your heart, I wanted you to see me and Hook together, see the happiness you could never have, and ruin it again, just like my mother did." Emma said
"I've been waiting a long time for this. (Regina shoots a fireball at them. It destroys the ribbons. Emma pushes away Regina with her powers.) Uhh!" Regina said
"Let's go." Emma said
They ran.
"A pissed off Queen coming through." Melissa said
"SWAN!" Regina yells
They are in the ice cave.
Richfield, Minnesota 1999 past
In the street.
"It's nights like this I wish I just had the power to poof home like Harry Potter. If I was like him, I could be standing here in the cold one minute, and home soaking in the tub in the next." Emma said
"That would be something, wouldn't it? Do you girls remember how much fun we had in the arcade last week?" Ingrid asked both Emma and Melissa
"Of course." Melissa said
"Best day I've had in a long time. How could I forget?" Emma asked Ingrid
"And do you both remember how the lights in the game how the lights flickered?" Ingrid asked again
"It was weird." Melissa said
"What if it was more than just weird? What if it meant that it was a cusp of a great self-revelation? I think it's time." Ingrid said
Ingrid leads both Melissa and Emma in the middle of the road. A car arrives.
"What are you doing?!" Emma asked as she is horrified
"You girls stop the car." Ingrid said
"What?!" Emma asked in confusion
"Trust your instincts. Do it! Stop the car!" Ingrid said
"Let us go!" Melissa said as she was horrified
Emma runs away.
"I'm sorry." Ingrid apologize
"Are you crazy?!" Melissa asked Ingrid
"You almost killed us!" Emma said
"I made a mistake. When I was younger, I... I had a traumatic experience that unleashed a power that I... I didn't even know that I had." Ingrid said
"What are you talking about?" Melissa asked in confusion
"I thought the arcade was a sign that you were coming into your own." Ingrid said
"You think we have powers? Like Harry Potter?" Emma asked again
"No. That's fiction. What you girls have is more real and more powerful than you can possibly imagine." Ingrid said
"Great. I should've known the only person willing to adopt me would turn out to be a nut job." Emma said
No. Emma...Melissa..." Ingrid said
"Don't touch us!" Emma said as she runs away
"Emma, wait. Emma! Emma! Emma! (Melissa shed a tear and back aways.) Melissa!" Ingrid said
"Don't come any closer." Melissa said
"I'm sorry. What I did was wrong. (In her pocket. She gets out a purple crystal.) But I can't let you remember. When it's time. We'll see each other again." Ingrid said
Ingrid takes away Melissa's memories away and then Melissa fell on the ground unconscious. Lexi appeared.
"What did you do to her?" Lexi asked Ingrid
"I've erased her memories. She won't have any memory of me or Emma what's so ever. But I'm sorry that it had to come to this. For a short time you won't remember." Ingrid said
Ingrid used the same crystal to erase Lexi's memories.
"What am I doing here?" Lexi is confused
"You were taking that girl to the nearest bus station and taking her back to North Carolina." Ingrid said
Storybrooke Present.
Into the ice cave.
"You three have no idea how long I've waited for this moment. Your ribbons... What have you done?" Snow Queen asked them
"I'm not much for accessories." Emma said
"Those ribbons joined us together." Snow Queen said
"Get it through your head, lady. We're not your sisters and we're never gonna love you." Melissa said
"Oh, Margaret. I know that you actually believe that. And... It makes me sad. But I know that sadness won't last because soon, you'll see you're wrong." Snow Queen said
"Don't do it! (The Snow Queen gets out 3 crystals.) The hell are those?" Emma asked Ingrid
"They're memories I took from the three of you. And now it's time to give them back." Snow Queen said
"Why? So we can remember just how badly you treated us?" Melissa asked Ingrid
"The funny thing about time is we romanticize the good and forget the bad. That's exactly what's in these crystals. These are the good memories and nothing else. Lovely moments the three of you shared with me, which I'll cherish forever and now so will you." Snow Queen said
"Hate to break it to you, but magic can't make someone love you." Emma said
"You're right, Emma. Magic can't create love. But if someone loved you in the past, it can make them love you again. You're not doing anything. We all know the only way to stop me is to kill me, and you three... Hesitating. You don't have it in you." Snow Queen said
Durham, North Carolina. Past. 1999.
Foster system.
"Name?" Woman asked Melissa
"Melissa...Flair." Melissa said
"Why were you on the streets?" Woman asked again
"I don't know. I mean...I was dropped over there somehow." Melissa said
"Are you saying that you can't remember everything?" Woman asked again
"I'm not sure." Melissa said
Storybrooke Present.
Ice cave.
"It's okay. Come. Be my sisters." Snow Queen said
"I can't do it. I can't hurt her." Elsa said
"Neither can I." Melissa said
"Yeah, well, I can." Emma said
"Wait! Stop!" Anna said
"Anna! No, she's too dangerous." Elsa said
"You should listen to my sister and go." Snow Queen said
"Your sister? She's mine. And whatever you're gonna do? Well... Don't. Elsa, I found this on the beach. It's from our mother. She must've thrown it into the ocean before their ship sank. It came over in the portal with us." Anna said
"Be careful." Melissa said
"No, I'm not gonna be careful. She needs to hear this. You all do. "Elsa, Anna, I don't know if your father and I will ever get back to you, but I need you to know we were wrong to tell Elsa to conceal her powers." Anna reads the note about her mother
"How fitting that you, who are so much like your mother, should share her last words." Snow Queen said
"I feel terrible that it happened before and I can't let it happen again." Anna kept reading
"What?" Snow Queen asked in confusion
"My sister Ingrid, like you, also had ice powers. I never told you about her or my two other sisters Helga, and Maria, but I should have. They were beautiful and kind and wonderful, and I was fearful. And I let that fear guide me. I let Ingrid hide when I should have celebrated her for the person she was. I loved her so much." Anna kept reading
"You're lying! My sister hated me! She called me a monster! She put me in that urn, like you did Elsa!" Snow Queen said
"In this crystal are the memories of my sisters, which I stole from the people of Arendelle. Please return them. My sisters deserve to be known. In a cave in the north valley, you'll find an urn that contains Ingrid. Please do what I should have done long ago and release her. When you see her, please tell her I love her and I'm sorry. I'd give anything to take back what I did, to hold her hands one more time." Anna kept reading
The Snow Queen is strangling Anna with her powers.
"Ingrid!" Elsa said
"Let her go!" Emma said
"Don't make this hard lady." Melissa said
The Snow Queen strangling Anna.
"I understand, Aunt Ingrid. I understand now why you cast this curse. But you can come back from it." Anna said
"Understand me? How could you? You're nothing like me! You understand nothing!" Snow Queen said
"You're right. I'm not like you. My mother wasn't like you. But if she was able to love you for who you are, so can I. You're a part of our family no matter what. And family never gives up on each other." Anna said
"You lie! (The Snow Queen slaps Anna. She takes the letters and reads it.) Oh. Oh, Gerda. Oh. What have I done? I need to reverse this." Snow Queen said
"You can't." Anna said
"I have to destroy myself." Snow Queen said
"No, Ingrid. Wait!" Elsa said
"There's got to be another way." Melissa said
"There's no other way. I am a monster, not because of my powers, but because of what I let them turn me into. I have to undo this." Snow Queen said
"You'll die." Melissa said
"I know. It's okay. Elsa, Anna, you found each other. Melissa, you've found your brother and sister and you build a life for yourself and Jenna's. You've got a son too. And, Emma, you found your family. You... You deserve your memories. (Snow Queen giving them their memories back. Melissa remembers what happened those years ago.) You four are so special. Never forget that. Oh!" Snow Queen said
"There has to be another way. You deserve your happy ending, too." Emma said
"Long ago, a prophecy told me that you would lead me to just that. And this is it. All I wanted was to have my sister's love, and... Now I have it. Now... I get to join them." Snow Queen said
Ingrid dies. Melissa cried for Ingrid and then Emma comfort her.
"She sacrificed herself for us, for all of us." Emma said
"Anna." Elsa said
"Elsa." Anna said
"We must follow through on our mother's last wish. We must bring back the memory of Ingrid and Helga to the people of Arendelle." Elsa said
"We will." Anna said
"I got to go do something." Melissa said as she teleports out
Margaret's Mansion.
Melissa reverse the shield spell and she comes. August and her daughter came out and hugged her.
"Have you been crying?" August asked his wife as he was worried about her
"I'm ok." Melissa said
"I'm going to get Baelfire upstairs." August said
August walk upstairs. Melissa and Jenna went in the kitchen and see Alaric still chained up. Melissa unchain him.
"You ok?" Alaric asked Melissa
"Seriously, I'm ok." Melissa said
Bonnie, Damon, Jeremy, and Tyler comes in.
"We're free." Bonnie said
"Thanks to your plan it worked." Damon said to Melissa
"Killing each other. Then you would never had me or anyone." Jeremy said
"That's because you're my brother. I don't want to lose you guys. Ever." Melissa said
Emma comes in.
"Melissa can I talked to you?" Emma asked Margaret
"Sure." Melissa said
Both Melissa and Emma walked out.
"We used to be sisters once." Emma said
"Yeah. I'm relieved that Ingrid got our memories back. I always wanted a family and it was with you that one time that we were sisters. But you found your family and I found mine. I lost Elena." Melissa said
"I understand." Emma said
"No you don't. Because believe or not. I'm not ready to lose another sister." Melissa said
"You called me sister." Emma said
"Because we were. And we still are." Melissa said
Emma hugged Melissa.
"I'm not going to lose you either." Emma said
