Enchanted Forest, Just after sunset: Dreamy sprints up Firefly Hill and finally finds Nova, who admits she didn't think he would come. She brings him to the edge and shows him the lights of the village, the kingdom and beyond. Dreamy is impressed that she's seen so much of the world, but Nova says flying over it and being a part of it aren't the same thing. He's still impressed she's seen so much as all he's seen are diamonds, dirt and dwarfs. He then proposes that they see the world together. They could get a boat and sail all over it -- explore everything the world has to offer. Just then the fireflies appear. Thrilled by them, and by Dreamy's idea, she gives him a big kiss on the lips and says they should do just that. "Tomorrow night. After I drop off the dust, let's meet back here. We'll run off together. We'll see the world." Dreamy holds her hand and looks at the beautiful scene below. "Sounds like dream come true."
Storybrooke, Waterfront. Leroy is trying to sell his boat to Mr. Gold for $5,000. Gold counters with $3,000, but Leroy needs $5,000. "Look, you don't even have to pay me -- just forgive one month's rent for the nuns. You can have the boat. They'll pay you back, eventually. It's a good deal. You get everything."
Mr. Gold: I am having no part in helping the nuns. I cannot wait to get rid of them -- such distasteful tenants they are.
Leroy: Who doesn't like nuns?
Mr. Gold: Let's just say we have a history.
Recapper: Did you go to St. Joe's parochial school, with my cousin Maureen?
After Gold leaves, Sister Astrid shows up with a pie for Leroy. He hustles back up on deck and hurries to cover up the candles with a tarp, but he doesn't do such a good job. Astrid thanks him for all his help and gushes about the boat, but then she sees the candles. Leroy confesses that he failed to sell them. He lied because he was afraid to let her down. "I'm sorry, Astrid. I guess you believed in the wrong guy." She leaves, and doesn't even take the pie with her. I would never cut it as a nun. Gimme back my pie, lying Leroy!
