Frankenstonia. Exterior. It is a dark and stormy night. Gerhardt chases after Viktor, assures him their father will cool off, and gives him the pocket watch. As the eldest, mother would have wanted Viktor to inherit it. Viktor refuses the well-meaning gesture and tells his brother not to worry about him. "I'll find another way." Once Viktor heads off and Gerhardt heads back toward the house, Rumpy peeks out from behind a tree. His gold-flecked skin and red cape stand out in the black and white world of Frankenstonia. We flash forward to...
Belle's hospital room. As Belle sleeps, Gold bends over and kisses her. She smiles as she wakes, but once her eyes focus on Gold, she screams in terror. She should see him when he's golden. Two attendants rush to the room. Backing away, Gold keeps repeating that he's sorry. I can't help but wonder if it's not true love between these two after all. I know this town line amnesia could have another antidote entirely, but a girl can hope! We cut to...
Hook's hospital room. Emma asks where Cora is. When Hook tries to get up, he realizes he's handcuffed to the bed, and teases Emma about being into that kind of thing. When Hook continues to flirt rather than answer her questions, Emma threatens him. "You have all sorts of sore places I can make you hurt," and then what do you know? She immediately does so. Hook says he has no idea where Cora is, but wonders where his hook is. "May I have it back, or is there another attachment you would prefer?" Seriously? Excuse me for clutching at my pearls, but...but... He's been in our world all of two minutes and he already knows about such things?! The harbor master ought to password protect his Wi-Fi connection. Emma comments on Hook being awfully chipper, considering he failed to kill Rumpy and got hit by a car. Hook: "My ribs may be broken, but..." he glances down at himself and then back up at Emma. "...Everything else is still intact." Oh goodness. My kids watch this show, Show.
Hook is pleased that he managed to hurt his foe. When Emma reminds him he hurt Belle, Hook corrects her. "I hurt his heart. Belle is just where he keeps it. He killed my love. I know the feeling." Emma leans over and smirks. "Keep smiling, buddy. You're chained down. He's on his feet, immortal, has magic and you hurt his girl." Her smile fades. "If I were to pick dead guy of the year, I'd pick you." When Hook grins at her, Emma tries to return the favor, but her heart isn't it in. When she leaves, Hook struggles against his cuffs.
