David and Mary Margaret were at Mr Gold's shop's front windows, watching for Regina and Cora to show. As they watched, David noticed his wife. She seemed a little odd to him. "What's wrong? Did Gold tell you something?"
"No," Mary Margaret said, shaking her head. "I mean, he just said that Cora is determined to hurt us."
"I won't let that happen. We'll do whatever needs to be done."
Mary Margaret nodded. She knew what she had to do. Use the double-ended candle. She had it on her in her pocket. "You're right. You're absolutely right," she said, coming to a realisation.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling, which made the objects in the shop rattle and shake.
David went into the back room and inside the TARDIS. Once there, he saw the Doctor and the professor standing at the console with Neal and Emma. "It's them. Regina and Cora. They're here."
The Doctor nodded as the others exited the ship. "Good luck," he said with a nod.
Outside the shop stood Regina and Cora. They looked at each other before stepping back and creating a fireball between the two. A large fireball. Once it was big enough, they threw it at the door, which opened the door and broke the protection spell. Once the two witches magically opened the door, they walked inside, where they met Emma, Neal, David, and Mary Margaret. All were holding swords, except for Mary Margaret. She was standing behind the others – behind the shop counter.
"Regina. Think about what you're doing," Emma said. "Don't talk to me," Regina said.
Mary Margaret backed slowly out the side door. She was overlooked, which was a good thing for her, and once she was outside, she ran straight to the cemetery.
Regina created a fireball and threw it at them, but David blocked it with his sword. Regina then threw him out the shop door and magically locked it. He grunted as he hit the concrete.
"David!" Emma exclaimed. But he couldn't hear her.
Cora then pushed Emma backwards, which sent her flying back. Neal then lunged at Cora, but Cora poofed out of the way, and Neal just went right through the purple smoke. But as Cora poofed away, she dropped the dagger. Emma got up from the earlier attack, but Regina went over to her and held her to the wall. But Emma took a knife and swung Regina around, putting the knife close to her neck.
Neal looked at the dagger, then at Cora. "What's it gonna be?" he asked. "Mother!" Regina exclaimed.
"Choose wisely," Neal said to Cora again.
Looking back at her daughter, Cora magically picked up the dagger. Once she had it in her gloved hand, Emma pushed Regina into her mother. It caused the distraction they needed.
"Fall back to the TARDIS," Emma said. "I have the chalk!" Getting past the door that separated the two halves of the shop, Emma knelt and drew a line across it. Then, standing back up, she activated the spell before going back to where the TARDIS was.
"Help me take out Rumplestiltskin, and then we'll go back ..." But she never finished her sentence. She felt strange. Something she hadn't felt before.
"Mother, what is it?" Regina asked.
Cora breathed heavily. "My heart. It's with my things in your vault. Someone's there." She gasped, and it worried Regina.
"Mother!"
"Go! Go!" Cora ordered as Regina turned around and headed for her vault in the cemetery. Once Regina was out the door, Cora turned her attention to the doorway. "Really, Rumple. Hiding's beneath you," she said as she extended her left arm and began breaking through the protection spell.
Meanwhile, Mary Margaret descended the stairs to the central passageway in Regina's vault. Before coming to a stop. She looked around till she saw Cora's objects to her left. She went over to them and sighed, as she knew she wouldn't be able to find Cora's heart that easily.
Back inside the shop, Neal slipped inside the TARDIS. He had expected Emma to follow him, but she didn't. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing. I think we should – well, I should – cast one around the TARDIS too," Emma answered.
Neal headed over to the console, where the two Time Lords were. "Well...?" The Doctor asked.
"They're persistent," Neal said. "And strong." "Where's Emma?" The Professor asked.
"Here I am," she said. "Just put another protection spell around this box." Her cellphone rang, and she answered. "David?"
"Are you safe?" David asked.
"For now. I've got the spell up in the backroom and went inside the TARDIS."
"Is Mary Margaret okay?" David asked in a strained voice.
"She's not with you?" Emma asked, looking around.
"No! Where the Hell is she?" David asked before he hung up the call. He had to find his wife. Where had she gone to?
Once the call was over, Emma put her phone back in her pocket.
"Can we see my father?" Neal asked.
The Doctor nodded. "Of course," he said before he and the Professor led them to the Zero Room.
