Dad brought Mr. Gold up to the apartment, where I was waiting, and lay him on the couch. Mom walked in, "Found a storage room and locked our stab-happy pirate in there. Shouldn't be causing anyone else any problems. And get this - he had a map on him. It looks like he sailed his ship here," She said.

"How'd he get a pirate ship into New York?" Dad asked. "It's cloaked. Don't worry. He's not going to hurt any of us," Mom said. "But is Mr. Gold going to be okay?" I asked. "Don't worry, Rose, he's going to be fine," Dad promised.

Mom brought her phone over to me. "Hey, kid. The battery's dead. Go in the other room and see if you can find a charger, okay?" She asked. "Okay," I said as I took the phone and walked out the room.

I saw a text from Grandma and Grandpa and read it. I walked back to the room just when Dad walked out. "Emma, you need to see this," I said, holding out her phone.

"What is it, kid?" Mom asked. "It's a text from David and Mary Margaret. You need to read it - now," I said. I handed the phone to her. She read the text.

"Bad news, Gold," Mom said. "What, worse than incurable poison?" Mr. Gold asked. "I don't know. You tell me. You got a dagger hidden somewhere in Storybrooke that's the source of all your power?" She asked.

"Get to your point," He said. "Cora's after it. The only way to stop her, is have David and Mary Margaret get to it first," Mom said. "Yeah, let Cora try," Mr. Gold said.

"You can't seriously be willing to risk this. Not with your son coming back with you to Storybrooke," Mom said. "Ms. Swan, that dagger has not left my possession for centuries. It's not about to now," He said.

"Here's the thing. You're dying. And right now, we are your best hope. Time's come for you to start trusting someone. And, if I were you, I'd start with family," Mom said.

Third Person POV
Regina and Cora arrived at Regina's mayoral office after killing Johanna, Snow White's loyal servant and getting Rumplestiltskin's dagger. Cora sat in the chair behind the desk and lay the dagger in front of her. "It's nice to be back. Hiding is quite wearisome," Regina said.

"I like what you've done with the place," Cora complimented. "I'm so happy you approve," Regina said. "What is it, my love? You're troubled," Cora said. "You never told me about your history with Snow's mother," Regina said. "I spared you that burden, like any good parent would do," Cora said.

"You didn't think I deserved to know exactly what it took for me to become Queen?" Regina said. "Now you know," Cora said. "That day at the stables, when I rescued her? That wasn't an accident, was it?" Regina said. "You made sure I'd be in the pastures when Snow rode past. You had to make sure when I met Snow White . . . Her father would be searching for a new Queen."

"And what does this knowledge change for you?" Cora asked. "That you won, mother. I am the Queen. And, if that's what you wanted so badly, why do you need Rumpelstiltskin's dagger now?" Regina asked.

"You're worried my interests are no longer aligned with yours," Cora said. "My only interest now is Rose," Regina said. "And I've told you - you'll have her," Cora promised.

"But how? Now that Mary Margaret and David know we have the dagger, we can't use Gold to kill them without Rose finding out," Regina said. "Have patience, my love. By the time Rumpelstiltskin returns, Emma Swan and the rest of them will be nothing more than a vaguely unpleasant memory. And Rose, will be yours," Cora said.

In New York, Emma and Neal were walking to the car that Neal had arranged for. "It should be one more block west," Neal said. "Once we get the car, what do we do about Hook?" Emma asked.

"I don't know. He made his way to New York. I'm sure he could make his way out of a basement. You have a problem leaving him behind?" He asked. "Actually, I've done it before," She admitted. "Great," He said.

"I have to admit, after some of the things you've said, I'm surprised you'd rally to his side like this," Emma said. "There's a difference between running away from your father, and watching him die in front of you. He may be a monster, but he's my blood," Neal said.

"What happens when he's healed?" She asked. "I don't know. Forgiveness ain't something I think is possible with him," He said. "But somewhere inside you, you hope someday, it will be," She said.

"Life's full of surprises, isn't it?" He said. "Well, no matter what, it'll be nice for Rose to be around you a little bit, even if it is just for a visit," Emma said. "Here's our car," Neal said.

Neal ran over to a grey car, and grabbed a set of keys from behind the wheel. "Please tell me we are not going to hotwire this thing," Emma said. "No. Uh . . . It belongs to a friend," Neal said.

"That's a generous friend," Emma said. "Yeah, about that. Um . . . We need to finish our conversation from earlier. There's something you need to know about me before we get on the ship," Neal said.

A woman called out to Neal and ran up to him and Emma. "Neal! Thank God I caught you," She said. "What are you doing here?" Neal asked. "I don't know. I . . . Maybe I got a little worried after talking to you. You can't just say you're . . . Leaving town for a while," She said.

"Hey. Yeah, listen. Everything's fine, okay? I promise," Neal said. "Great, sweetie. Just tell me what's going on," She said. "Neal?" Emma asked. "I'm Tamara," The woman said to Emma with a smile. "Emma," Emma said as they shook hands. "She's my fiancée," Neal said.
