Henry asks if he can borrow the book. Mary tells him he can have it. "Believing in the possibility of a happy ending is a powerful thing. I think you could use it." She picks up her bag, rises, and touches her unknown grandson on his shoulder. "I'll see you in class." As she walks off, Henry turns the page to an illustration of Snow and Charming on their wedding day. He calls out, "Miss Blanchard." Mary says, "Yes?" When Henry looks up at her he see Princess Snow white in her wedding finery. He blinks, and she's just Miss Blanchard again, so he says, "Thank you." Mary smiles. "You're very welcome." Henry turns his attention back to the book. Turning the page, he sees an illustration of Snow White holding her newborn daughter. A tag on the baby's receiving blanket reads, "Emma." Henry says the name aloud. We flash forward to the...
Present. Using her lycanthropic sniffer, Granny has picked up Henry's scent. Ruby should be here, I know. Again, the curse of real actors strikes. As Granny, Hook, Belle, Neal, Emma, Regina, Snow and Charming run down the middle of the street, Henry rushes out of library. "It's me. It's me. It worked." Emma and Regina hug him. He indulges for a moment, but then it gets a little awkward for him. "Mom, Mom, I just saw you guys. You guys just saw me." Finally they let go. Regina says, "But we didn't see you."

Gold's Shop. Pan wakes to Gold saying, "Hello, Papa." Pan thought he would have killed him in his sleep. Me, too! When Pan sits up, he notices the cuff on his wrist, and notes that Gold has taken away his magic. Gold says he wanted to talk to Pan. "I wanted you to see me and think about what you've done."
Pan mocks the idea of seeing his son and thinking about what might have been. "Is that what you want? Because I do. I remember looking at you. The littlest babe -- helpless and all mine. Those big, big eyes, just full of tears. Pulling at me. Pulling away my name, my money, my time. Pulling away any hope of making my life into something better for myself. This pink, naked, squirming little larva, that wanted to eat my dreams alive and never stop. What are you now -- a couple hundred? Can't I be free of you?" Gold says, "Oh, you will be, in death." and that's a good thing, because this guy needs killing, Rump.
