Queenie proposes that they could have more. She is impressed with the children. "You aren't the first boy or girl that I've sent into that sticky sweet house, but you are the first to emerge." Oh so evil. Gretel, for heaven's sake, remember the pile of bones! Child-sized bones. Queenie invites them to live in the castle with her. Hansel, still too dumb to live, looks mighty tempted, but when Gretel tells the queen she knows their father wouldn't leave them and says they'd never want to live with someone as terrible as Queenie, even if he did, Hansel agrees with his sister. Gretel says they'll find Dad with or without the Queen's help. Queenie is outraged. She casts a spell on the children. Smoke envelops and swirls around them. We cut to...
Storybrooke, Night: Regina and Henry watch from a distance as Emma encourages the Zimmer twins to get in her cruiser. She starts to tell them it's going to be okay, but she can't make herself finish the lie. Instead, she returns the compass to Ava and tells the kids she's sorry, but they have to go. Regina smiles when Emma slams the car door out of frustration. "Let's go, Henry." He breaks free from her arm and runs to Emma. He pleads with her not to take them, saying they can't leave Storybrooke. "Something bad will happen." Emma looks at her boy. "Something bad has already happened." Henry watches in concern as Emma and the Zimmer twins drive away. Regina watches in delight. Commercial.
