Amara and Joseph were sitting down at Granny's eating dinner. "So what is Henry doing tonight?" She asked wondering how he was doing since she hadn't seen him a couple days. "Regina has him seeing Dr. Hopper tonight." he told her. "Awl OK. So I heard Graham hired Emma as a deputy, that should be interesting." Amara said jokingly. Joseph laughed, "Oh yeah, Regina is going to love that when she find out." Just then they heard a loud rumble and the place shook. Everything started falling from the counters and tables. "Are you OK?" Joseph asked Amara who had fallen out of the chair. "Yeah I'm OK. What was that?" She asked getting up while Joseph helped steady her. "I should call Regina and find out what that was." He walked outside to call her. "Hey Ruby do you need any help with that?" she asked her friend who was cleaning up a bunch of plates and food that had fallen on the floor. "Yeah thanks that would be great." Amara grabbed a trash can and rags and helped Ruby clean up the floor when Joseph came back in. "OK so there was an explosion out by the old mine. She wants me to come out and help. Do you want to come with me or I can take you home?" He asked her helping her stand back up from cleaning on the floor. "I'll go with you maybe there is something I can do to help. I can call Timmy maybe he can bring out some water or something." "Sounds good let's go." He lead her out the door and into the car.

When they pulled up there was already a bunch of people at the site. They got out of the car and seen Regina giving orders. Amara seen Emma standing over by Graham. She left Joseph's side and went to stand by Emma and Graham. "Hey do you have any idea what happened here?" she asked her in shock at seeing the size of the crater that the explosion had caused. "Just that something exploded inside. As soon as the site is cleared I think they're going to send people inside, but I'm not sure." Regina walked over to them. "Miss Swan this is official town business you're free to go now." "Actually Regina there is something you don't know." Amara tells her with a smirk on her face. Regina looked at her then at Emma. "Well by all means Miss Swan do tell me." she demands losing patience with the both of them. "I work for the town now." she tells her. Regina is shocked and looked at Graham for confirmation. "She's my new deputy now." Both Emma and Amara look at Regina with smirks. "Well." Regina tries to compose herself. "They say that the Mayor is last to know." She still does not look happy about it. "It was in my budget." Graham defends. "Indeed." She glares at Graham then looks over at Emma and Amara. "Deputy make yourself useful and cover ground control, Amara help her. I'm sure it shouldn't be too difficult for you. We all know how you're good with a crowd." Amara just smiled at her and walked off with Emma. "So what do we do first." Before Emma could answer Regina started speaking to everyone. " People of Storybrooke don't be alarmed. We've always known that this cave was filled with old mining tunnels. Fear not I'm going to undertake the project to make this area safe." Amara turned and seen Archie show up with Henry. She waved them over and they made their way over to her as Regina finished her speech. "We're going to rehabilitate this property for city use. We will flatten it bulldoze it then collapse it and then pave it." After she said that Henry stepped around her, looking angry at his mom. "Pave it? What if there is something down there?" Regina looked shocked to see Henry there and fighting back with her on this. She went up to him and grabbed him lightly. "Henry what are you doing here?" She asked him. "What's down there?" He asked her ignoring her question. "Nothing now stop, and step back." She pushes him back to Amara. "In fact, everybody please step back." Regina motioned with her hands and everyone took several steps back. Amara and Henry noticed that Regina picked something up off the ground, looked at it for a while then worryingly put it in her pocket. "Did you see that? What was that?" he whispered to Amara. Regina heard him and stomped over to them. "Henry enough!" She pulled him away from Amara and Emma to talk to him. After they talk Henry walked toward the car and Regina turned to them. "Miss Swan tape off the area, Amara find my brother and have him take you and Henry home." She walked off before anyone could abject.

Amara was trying to find Joseph but couldn't find him anywhere. She heard Henry call for Archie so she walked over to see what he wanted with Archie. "This requires all of Operation Cobra." he starts as Emma sees them and walks over. "I didn't realize I was in Operation Cobra." Archie said mostly just playing along. "Of course you are, you know everything." He turns to Emma and Amara. "We can't let her do this what if there is something down there?" "There is just a bunch of old tunnels Henry." Amara tells him not wanting to get his hopes up. "Yea they just happen to collapse just as Emma gets here." He looks at Emma pleadingly. "You're changing things, and weakening the curse." "That is not what's happening." Emma says trying to be stern. "Yes it is." He continues confidently. "Did you do anything differently today that would make this happen?" Emma looks down and grabs her badge with her hand. That got Amara thinking about what if Henry could be right about everything. "Didn't you accept the position as Deputy today?" Amara asked wanting to confirm her suspicions. Before Emma could answer Regina and Joseph came over seeing Henry out of the car and talking to them. "Henry didn't I tell you to wait in the car?" Regina asked looking at Amara. "And didn't I tell you to find my brother? This isn't a place you need to be if you can't offer any help." Joseph looked at Regina with a raised eyebrow not liking the tone his sister was giving the girl he was dating. "Regina, sister I love you but we have more pressing manners to attend to then you yelling at people for no reason. There will be something she can do to help." Joseph tells her standing over by Amara and wrapping his arm around her. Regina clearly mad turns to Emma, dismissing her brother completely. "Deputy, do your job." she tells her angrily before storming off.

The next day Amara got a frantic call from Joseph saying that Henry went into the caves and got himself trapped. She quickly told him to pick her up and they would go up there together. She wanted to be with him when he was this worried about his nephew. Once they get there Emma pulls her away from Joseph so they could talk. "Henry went down there on his own so he could prove to us that something was down there." She told her in a bit of hysterics. She tries to comfort her the best she can. "Hey, it'll be OK. We will find a way to get him out and everything will be alright I promise." Emma just looks at her. "Please don't make promises you can't keep." "It is one I will keep, now what all did he say to you before he went in there?" Emma sighs remembering what all happened before. "He showed up at Mary Margaret's crying that Archie didn't believe him and that all he said about the curse was just an illusion. " She stopped to take a breathe. "Then I went to Archie's to chew him out about making Henry cry like that. Then Regina calls me and asks if Henry is with me, I had dropped him off at her office an hour before that." She takes another deep breathe and looks at Amara. "Then Archie figured out where he went and here we are." She finishes. "Where is Archie now Emma?" Amara asked just now noticing that Archie is no where to be seen. "Just as the entrance was collapsing he ran in there after him. So now we have to find out where they are and how we can get them out." Emma says as more people start to show up. Joseph walked over to them. "Miss Swan, you've been here the longest what can we do to help?" he asked as he put his arm around Amara's waist pulling her to him.

They try to pull the rubble from the entrance, when it shakes again. Regina goes over to Emma and starts yelling at her. "Stop! Stop! You're just making it worse!" "I'm trying to save him!" she yells at Regina right back. Amara has enough and goes to intervene. "Enough! We are all doing all we can it doesn't help to be yelling at each other." She turns to Regina " Do you have anything in mind?" She asks. Regina nods. "Yes. Help me. We need to find something big. Something to punch the ground." she tells them. "something like explosives." Marco says from standing next to Graham. Joseph and Marco get the explosives and get them set up. They all stand back. "Are we all clear?" Emma asks. "Yeah we're all good." Amara says standing beside Joseph. "Blow it." Regina says as Graham lights it and it explodes. Joseph covered Amara so the blast wouldn't hit her too much. Once the smoke cleared Emma went to go look. "Did it work?" Regina asked as Emma ran back over. "No. It didn't work." She looked like she was about to cry. " So what did it do?" Amara asked as her and Joseph came to stand by Regina and Graham. "What the hell was that?!" Regina exclaimed as she stormed up to the workers who put the explosives together. "Regina just calm down." Amara tries to comfort her. " Calm down?! They could've killed my son!" She exclaimed. "If we could just figured out where they were exactly. We could just drill right to them." Marco says trying to help. Amara looks over and sees Pongo sitting in the fire truck barking. She snacks Emma's arm to get her attention. She points over at Pongo. " Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" She asks her hoping she gets the point. Emma looks at her and smiles and they both run over and Amara let's Pongo out of the fire truck. Everyone turns to see what they're doing confused. "Archie's dog." Emma says as they follow to where Pongo has gone. They all follow and stop when Pongo sniffs something. "He's found something." Amara informs everyone. Pongo starts digging in a spot and whining. "This must be where they're at." Amara exclaims getting down and started to dig. Graham, Marco and Emma help her in digging. Eventually they peel a piece of big square metal out and underneath it revealed an opening. "What is that?" Emma asked helping Amara stand back up. "It looks like an air shaft." Graham tells them and Regina points her flashlight down the hole.

They get the tow truck and use the crane and lift the shaft bars off the top. Joseph pulls Amara back as the Regina and Emma lean over to look down at the now uncovered hole. " So what's next?" She asked crossing her arms looking at Graham. "We need to lower someone down there before the lines on the sides collapse." Marco stated getting the crane ready. "I have a harness." Graham stated going to get it. "Alright then lower me down." Regina states. "No." Emma argues. "I'll go." She looks like she doesn't want to argue but won't back down. "He's my son." Regina starts to get an attitude. Amara rolls her eyes at Regina's behavior. Emma sighs but argues back. "He's my son too." Regina looks surprised at Emma.. "You've been sitting behind a desk for 10 years. I can do this." Emma tells her. Regina stands closer to her as if to intimidate her. Amara was worried that Regina was going to start a fight. "Just bring him to me." Emma smiles and walks off to get harnessed.

Once they got her harnessed up Joseph and Graham started to lower her down. Amara walked over to Regina and put her hand over her shoulder. "Hey. Emma will bring him up I promise." She said trying to comfort her. Regina looked at her and smiled softly. A couple minutes later they hear screaming from down in the shaft. "Bring them up now!" Regina orders going over to stand by the hole. Amara walks over on the other side with Joseph as she helps them pull the harness rope up. After a couple good tugs Emma appeared with a terrified Henry wrapped around her neck. All you hear is clapping as they continue to bring them up. There we're smiles all around as Marco and Graham pull Archie out. As soon as Emma was released Amara quickly wrapped her arms around Emma in a big hug. "Don't ever scare me like that again." She cries happily as she gives Henry a big hug as well. Amara sees Emma go over to Henry while Regina had him, and seen her dismiss Emma. Amara having enough of Regina's attitude walked over to Henry. "Come here sweetheart." She coos as Henry gives her a big hug. "There's someone who wants to see if you're OK." She whispers to him. He leaves her side and goes over to Emma and gives her a hug. Regina just glares at Amara and walks off to Dr Hopper. Amara doesn't listen but by the look on Regina's face she guessed Archie was really telling her how he felt about how Henry was being treated.

Amara walks over to Joseph as he just finished putting the harness back in Graham's car. "So we did it." She smiled leaning up against his car. He laughed and leaned beside her. "Yea we did. I was so scared that we wouldn't get to Henry in time." He looked over at her with a very serious and honest face. "Henry means the world to Regina if she lost him I don't know what she would do." He tells her. Amara moves over to him and leans her head on his chest. She wraps her arms around him. "Are you ready to go?" He asks kissing the top of her head softly. She looks over and sees Emma sitting with Henry. "In a minute I wanna talk to Emma then we can go OK." She tells him kissing him lightly on the lips and heading over and sitting down on the other side of Henry. "Archie's father?" Emma asks watching Marco and Archie talk to themselves vividly. "No." Henry tells her. "They're just really old friends." Amara finishes watching them as they talk. Emma looked over at Henry and took his hand. "You really scared me today." "I'm sorry." He tells her honestly. Marco and Archie walk over to the three of them. "Gentlemen." Amara acknowledged them. Emma sighed. "Alright kid let's get you to your mom she wants to take you home." She goes to stand up but Henry stopped her. "Wait." He tells them. "Do you hear that?" He asks everyone. They all stop to listen. They could all hear crickets in the background. "Crickets?" Archie asked with a knowing smile on his face. Amara and Emma looked confused. Henry looked at the adults. "See things are changing. Everyone just had smiles on their faces. Amara was standing by Joseph with his arm wrapped around her, drinking a beer that she had Tim bring over. She looked over and seen Regina drop something in the shaft. She all of a sudden got a strange feeling.

Later that night Amara was in bed sleeping where she had another dream. This time it was about Regina. She was dressed in a long black dress that had a plunging neckline and really long hair. span style="font-style: italic;"*"Regina stop this, this is madness! We are family." Amara exclaimed as she watched Regina plunge a sword into Snow White's heart. Then all of a sudden Joseph was there but he wasn't the kind man that she grew to knew. This man was dark and evil and he wanted to take everything she loved away so there was only him.*/span Amara wakes with a start gasping for air. She looks at the clock and sees that it is 1:15 am. She sighs and collapses back down on her pillow to sleep not realizing that her dream was closer to the truth then she realized.
