Emma comes out of a back room and is clearly uncomfortable when she sees Graham, because the last time she saw him, he was sneaking out of Regina's bedroom. When Ruby (Red Riding Hood) asks Emma what she can get her, Emma says, "Nothing," and makes for the door. Graham turns, aims, and throws a dart so it lands on the jamb, right in front of Emma's face. When she's all, "What the hell?" Graham notes she's been avoiding him since the night before... Emma finishes his sentence. "...leaving the Mayor? And yes, that is a euphemism."

Graham, dazed from the flashback, asks, "Did you see that?" Emma doesn't really listen though. She's still too shocked. "How much have you been drinking? That was way over the line." Graham apologizes and says he needs to feel something. Emma tells him that whatever he's looking to feel, he's not getting it with her. It's okay, Graham. There's a whole fandom full of women, many of who will be glad to let you... feel things.
We cut to the Mayor's house. Graham pounds on the door until Regina answers. When she confirms that Henry is asleep, Grahams starts kissing her, forcefully. They shut the door. We get an exterior shot of that closed door, prominently bearing the number 108 for the Lost fans. Back inside, the kissing grows more heated. We flash to the...
