The dwarfs are already assembled around their table, when Snow and Grumpy enter the room. Jiminy Cricket arrives and Snow tries to smash him, too. Jiminy explains that Snow's friends are concerned and have asked him there to help. They're having an honest-to-goodness intervention. Grumpy tells her she's changed; she's angry, irritable, and downright mean. Sneezy goes next, complaining that she brought bales of hay into the house last night, despite his allergies. She carps that's allergic to everything. Another dwarf complains that she broke his mug. Snow says he's lucky she didn't break his face.
Dwarf: You are the worst, most nasty, horrible...
Grumpy: Enough! Look what you're doing to Happy.
Recapper: Ahahahaha. Dear Show, these first four minutes just made my day. Humor works so well in the Enchanted Forest. Thank you.
Anyhow, Grumpy blames the potion for the change. Snow says the potion was the solution, rather than the problem. She rants about how she's in a cottage with dwarfs, instead of living in her castle as a princess. She rants about Regina having Leopold killed. Jiminy interrupts to point out that while her anger at Regina is justified, she's taking it out on everyone who loves her. Snow decides he's right and that she'll take it out on Queenie instead. When Jiminy starts to caution her that revenge will change Snow into something darker than she can imagine, Snow covers him up with a glass dome. She grabs a pickaxe off the wall and heads out to kill the Queen. Commercial.
In Storybrooke, Emma leads Mary Margaret into the room for questioning. Regina is there, supposedly to be an impartial witness. Emma acts as if this is perfectly fine with her, and tells Mary it can only be to her own benefit. During the interrogation, Mary admits that during the course of their affair, Mary and David would meet at the old t(r)oll bridge. Next, Emma takes out the jewelry box that contained the heart. Mary identifies the box as her own, and says it must have been stolen; she insists she's innocent. Regina takes Mary's hand and gets all transfer-y as she blathers in hushed tones that she knows what it's like to lose a loved one and be publicly humiliated.
Regina: It took me to a very dark place -- changed me. I can only imagine what losing David Nolan did to you.
