Once they were safely inside his house Archie let his mind go back to everything that had just happened. Emma seemed to be suffering severe memory loss, no doubt connected to the fact The Evil Queen was out looking for her, and he had no idea what to do next. He wanted to call Mary Margaret and David, maybe even Henry and Hook, but he had no idea how Emma would react to them right now. Mary Margaret and David where too intense for Emma sometimes on a good day, right now it would probably only make things more distressing and that would go double for Henry. He couldn't imagine it going over well when she's told she has a son she can't remember. As for Hook, he simply had no clue how that would go. The trust Emma had in him was built, it was earned by Hook, it wasn't an instinctual trust. Without her memory he doubted she'd be able to feel that trust and right now she'd need that.

Emma watched in fascination as this man who was apparently her friend, Dr. Archie Hopper, paced with one hand on his hip and the other over his mouth. He was deeply lost in thought as an array of emotions filtered across his face. The dog, Pongo, sat next to her as he to watched his owner with concern somehow showing through. She was even more convinced that this man was telling her the truth just by the intense concern he was showing for her. If she hadn't been told different she would have assumed this man was far more than a friend by the way he seemed torn up by what was happening; not to mention her automatic trust in him.

When she was tired of the intense silence she stopped him mid stride by grabbing his shoulder and stepping in front of him. When she saw she had his attention she asked him, "Do you know what's going on?"

Taking a deep breath Archie asked a question in return, "What is the last thing you remember?" When she seemed overwhelmed by the question he amended, "What's the first thing you remember?"

It took her another moment to gather her thoughts but she answered this time, telling him, "I remember waking up in a park on the ground, that woman standing over me. I remember feeling an intense fear as she talked about things I couldn't follow, didn't understand. She kept calling me Miss Swan." She paused to think about this as she looked back to Archie and asked, "Is that my name?" When Archie nodded she whispered, "Emma Swan", under her breath before closing her eyes, seeming to be remembering, as she continued, "I remember feeling this energy coursing through me, like it was building up, then the next thing I knew that woman was coming at me and this intense white light seemed to come from my hands…" Emma was looking down at her hands in disbelief as she trailed off for a minute before adding quietly, "Then the woman was knocked to the ground and I ran as fast as I could." She looked up at him as she said, "That was when I ran into you."

Taking it in, Archie made some intuitive leaps about the lead up before doing his best to answer her previous question. Leading her into the living room and sitting beside her on the couch he told her, "Well, as far as I can tell you had a run in with The Evil Queen tonight." At her raised eyebrow he begged her to let him finish with a look before he continued. "I know you were fine when you left here this morning so whatever happened it was probably tonight." She gave him an odd look at that but said nothing. "You were most likely out for a late night stroll again when you came across her, or she found you, either way." He made sure she was looking him in the eye when he said the next part, telling her, "She probably used some kind of spell on you to make you forget, erase your memory. I don't know why she did but I'm fairly certain that's what happened." He saw the doubt in her eyes the second he mentioned the word spell but he wanted to leave her to her own train of thought so he waited for her to respond.

When she did it was to be expected as she asked, disbelieving, "You expect me to believe that what, this woman dressed from medieval times has some sort of magical powers?" She let out a somewhat hysteric laugh as she further questioned, "And let me guess, that I do as well?" They both knew she did believe, as much as she didn't want to and logic told her not to, she did, because he was the one who told her and she had seen what she did with her own hands. She was running her hands through her hair as she looked at the ground and asked tightly, "Any other bombshells, Doctor?" When all she got in return was silence she snapped her head to look at him and she could tell he was keeping something back, something he thought was big. Sitting up straight and looking him in the eye she demanded, "Tell me, Archie, now." Quieter, she added, "Please."

Swallowing thickly Archie bolstered himself to tell her what he knew would hit her the hardest. "You have a son, Henry, and I think we should call him before anybody else. He'll be able to fill you in on everything better than I can." He felt a spike of fear as he further told her, "I'm also worried about him. The first place The Evil Queen will look for you is your home and I don't know if Hook, Killian, your boyfriend, is there to protect him if she does."

He wasn't sure how exactly he had expected Emma to react to this information but he wasn't really surprised when the first thing out of her mouth was, "If he is do you think this guy will be able to protect my son?" There was an intense look of maternal fear on her face that outshone the confusion and everything else she was feeling.

Archie, not wanting her to be too overwhelmed assured her, "He's more than capable of protecting Henry and I have no doubt he'd die trying." He tried giving Emma a reassuring smile but it came off as more of a grimace, so without another moment's hesitation her pulled out his phone and dialed Henry's number.

Henry didn't need to be told more than a quick overview of what had happened before he found himself knocking on his mom's bedroom door, phone in hand as he called his grandparents. When a sleepy eyed Hook answered the door he became quickly alert after just a glimpse of the boy's face. Henry gestured with a finger as someone picked up and he put the phone on speaker, asking David to do the same on his end. "Okay, I just got a call from Archie. Something happened to Mom. He thinks The Evil Queen erased her memory because she doesn't remember who she is or even that magic exists." He paused, seemingly trying to stay calm as he continued, "He wants us all to meet at his place but to remember she doesn't know who we are right now." There were a few gasps from Mary Margaret on the other end of the phone while he had been talking but the two adult men had remained silent. In the moment they were all feeling a similar stab of fear and pain and so before long David was pulling up in front of Archie's house with the other three in tow.
