Regina is nothing if not focused. "I took my life back. I had to. I won." Rumpy says, "And yet, here you are, feeling the need to gloat. Something's missing, isn't it dearie?" Regina denies this and says she has everything she wants, so nothing can stop her, now. Rumpy giggles, again. "Not quite. [...] the Savior -- the child of Snow White and Prince Charming. She can stop you. She can break the curse." Regina puts "getting rid of a baby" on her to-do list. Rumpy says even if she succeeds at that, she has a bigger problem. "Now there's a hole in your heart. And someday you will come to me to fill it."
Regina mocks his powers of foresight, so Rumpy tells her she underestimates the price of her actions, then sing-songs, "You shall see. You will come to me. There is more you need. Oh!" Regina knows he wants to make another deal, so she preemptively refuses. He scoffs at her suggestion. She's already guaranteed him a good life. What more could he want? Regina rattles off a list: "Oh, to be let out of this cage. To be let out of our last deal. To escape the curse." Rumpy asks, "Now why would I desire that, dearie? I'm exactly where I want to be." The Shadow flies across the title card and right through the letter O and into your living room, so I hope you all used the week off for arts and crafts, and made yourselves a coconut Shadow trap.

When he won't wake, Emma draws her sword and goes at Pan, but he can poof from location to location, so it's difficult. Pan says since Rumpelstiltskin didn't have it in him to get the job done, he doubts Emma does. He then reveals that Rumpy is now in Pandora's box. "...He can't hurt me anymore, and neither can you." Emma begs to differ, and slashes at Pan's arm. He laughs off the flesh wound as a tickle and flies off. Regina promises their unconscious boy that he'll be all right. "We're going to get you home." We flash back to...
Storybrooke, 11 years ago. Regina summons Archie to her office. After assuring Archie that this has nothing to do with Pongo's dog license, they get down to business. Regina is upset over nothing -- over feeling nothing. She calls Archie on his blunt approach, and nearly calls herself the "Queen" but stops and spurts out that she's the Mayor. The whole point is a hole point -- the hole in Regina's heart. Archie understands Regina's problem, even before she can admit to having one. She is lonely, among other things. "Has there ever been a time in your life when you haven't felt this way?" Regina says, "When that little boy visited. Owen." Archie tells her a child can provide so much meaning. We cut to...
