In the enchanted forest, the guards walked Graham into James and Regina's throne room. James and Regina smiled at him. "Do you have a name or shall we just call you the huntsman" Regina asked. Graham just stood there silently. Regina stood up and started walking toward Graham. "You're a tortured one aren't you Huntsman? Is it because your parents abandoned you to the wolves" Regina asked. "Those weren't my parents. All they did was give birth to me. The wolves are my family" Graham said. "Wolves indeed" Regina said. James got up and walked over to his wife. "There are two kinds of people in this world. Wolves and sheep. Those who killed and those who get killed and you huntsman you are most certainly a wolf" James said. Graham glared at James. "Why am I here" he asked. "We'd like to hire you" Regina answered. "I work for myself. Why would I do anything for the two of you" Graham asked.
"We have so much to offer. A place at our court. You will become our official huntsman" James said. "I'm not interested in being a pet. This place is a cage" Graham said. "You'd be awash in luxury, wanting for nothing" Regina said. "You guys have an army at your disposal. What do you need of me" Graham asked. "My brother and his wife are beloved by all the kingdom. We need someone who won't be blinded by that. Someone without compassion" James said. Graham looked at him shocked. "You want me to kill your brother" he asked. James nodded. "That is what you do right? You kill dragons don't you" he asked. Graham just stared at him then pulled out a dragon blade and held it to James's throat. Regina held out her hand but James raised his stopping her. "What makes you think I won't kill you" Graham asked. James laughed. "You could kill me but if you do that you're not walking out of this castle alive. Between my dear wife and our guards you will die a slow death" James said.
Graham looked around and saw about 20 guards walk into the room. There was no way he could take on all of them by himself and live. He slowly lowered the dragon blade. James smiled. "Good you value your life. Now to answer your question no I don't want you to kill my brother" James said walking back to his throne. Graham looked at him confused. "If you don't want me to kill him than what do you want" he asked. "We want you to capture him" Regina said. Graham was really confused right now. "Capture him? You could send any of your men to do that" Graham said. James walked back over to Graham holding something. "Unfortunately my brother is not that easy to capture. He would be able to take care of any of our guards with one flick of his wrists but a trained dragon hunter like yourself will be able to subdue him. He won't stand a chance" James said. Graham just stared at the king. "When you capture him open this" James said holding a veil.
"What is that" Graham asked. "It will weaken his magic. Once you've put this in his bloodstream bring him to us and we will take care of the rest" James said handing Graham the veil. "As for Snow White bring her to us also" Regina said. Graham just looked at the veil then at the king and queen. He took it from James. "There is one more thing huntsman. My mother is off limits. If she's there with my brother and Snow work around her. Do not hurt her" James said. Graham just stood there silently. Regina walked closer to Graham. "Now tell us what will it take? What do you want? There must be something" Regina asked. "Outlaw the hunting of wolves. They are to be left alone. They are to be protected" Graham said. James and Regina looked at each other and smiled. "Simple enough" James said. Graham nodded. "I will take care of your brother and Snow White and I won't touch your mother" Graham said. James and Regina nodded at him. They were about to get everything they wanted.
In Storybrooke, James stared at the three people in the classroom expectantly. "James we were just..." Conner started but Graham interrupted him. "We were just talking to Mary Margaret about some books we needed to borrow. Isn't that right Conner" Graham said giving Conner a look that told him to play along. Conner nodded. "Yea that's why we're here" he said. James looked between the three of them then turned to his brother. "Conner can I talk to you for a second" he asked. Conner nodded and left the classroom. "What do you think you are doing? Did you forget your married" James asked. Conner shook his head. "No of course not. Nothing is happening between me and Mary Margaret. Not anymore. I am fully committed to Kathryn. We really are just talking to her about books" Conner said. James looked between the classroom and his brother. "Well hurry up. You and Graham have a job to do" James said.
"We're almost done here" Conner said. James pulled a drug test out of his pocket and handed it to Conner. "I need that test by the end of the day" James said. Conner rolled his eyes and took the test. "Fine" he said. James walked away and Conner walked back into the classroom. "Mary Margaret, how long have we all known each other" Graham asked pointing between himself Conner and Mary Margaret. "I don't know a while" Mary Margaret said. Graham sat down in a desk across from Mary Margaret. "Do you remember how we met" Graham asked. Mary was going to answer but she couldn't. Graham turned back to his friend. "What about you Conner? Do you remember how we met" Graham asked. Conner thought for a moment. "Actually no. All I know is we've known each other since high school" he answered. "What about the two of you? Do you guys remember meeting each other" he asked Conner and Mary Margaret. Conner and Mary Margret looked at each other thinking.
"No" Mary Margret said. "Me either" Conner said. "I can't remember when I met you guys or anyone else. Isn't that odd" Graham asked. Mary thought for a moment. "I don't know. I mean I suppose but I think that's just life. Things get a bit hazy" Mary said. "Come to think of it I don't remember how I met Kathryn" Connor spoke up. Graham looked over to his friend. "See I told you. Something weird is going on here" he said turning back to Mary Margaret. "Have I ever heart you" he asked her. "Oh Graham no of course not. What is going on" Mary asked him. "Do you believe in other lives" Graham asked. "Like heaven" Mary asked. "I mean like past lives" Graham said. Mary let out a little laugh. "You've been talking to Henry" Mary said. Conner looked at her shocked. "Henry? Like Henry Mills. My nephew" Conner asked. Maty nodded her head. "He has this really weird theory. He's been going on about how he thinks we're all characters from another land, and we've forgotten who we really are" Mary said.
Conner and Graham looked at each other shocked. "Which of course makes no sense" Mary said seeing Conner and Graham's looks. Graham looked at her. "Right no of course" he said. Mary looked at him concerned. "Graham" she said feeling his head. "You are burning up. Go home and get some rest. I'm sure Conner can take over for the rest of the day" Mary said looking over to Conner. He nodded his head and walked over to Graham who was trying to process everything. "Mary Margaret is right. You don't look so good. Maybe you should go home and get some rest" Conner said. Mary nodded. "I think you'll feel much better after you've had some sleep" Mary said. Graham nodded his head. "Right. You're absolutely right. We're sorry we disturbed you" Graham said standing up. "Thank you" Graham said. "Of course" Mary said. Graham left the classroom. Conner looked at Mary. "I'll look after him" he said. Mary put on a smile and nodded.
Conner went to leave but stopped and turned around. "Mary Margaret about the other night…" he started to say but Mary shook her head. "It's fine Conner. I understand. You have to choose you're wife" she said. Conner looked down at the floor. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry and you have to know that everything we had was real" he said looking up into her eyes. "Conner please…" she started to say but he interrupted her. "I just needed you to know that it was real and I still do I love you but I love Kathryn too. I just need time to figure everything out" he said. Mary looked at him heartbroken. "Well let me make it easy for you. This, whatever, this was between us is officially over" she said walking away. Conner sighed and walked out of the classroom. Mary stood in the corner letting the tears fall thinking. Conner looked for Graham thinking about what just happened with Mary and what Graham said. He couldn't remember meeting anyone in this town. Maybe Graham was onto something. Maybe something was going on in this town.
