After Lacey struts off, Charming says, "Not bad, Don Juan." Gold smirks. "Don Juan was nothing before he made his deal with me." Charming's point is that Gold succeeded in getting her to go out with him. Gold frets that now he has to get her to fall for him. We cut to the...
Waterfront. Emma is reading the Once Upon A Time book, when Regina shows up and asks if she's reading about Henry's father or his grandfather. Oh Queenie, your heart really does have a hole in it. Look at the illustration right in front of your evil face. She's reading about when her parents were expecting her birth, shortly before you cast the Dark Curse. Regina asks Emma how long she thought she could keep Henry's paternity from her. Emma says, "Well, I was going to tell you, but I was kind of busy trying to keep your mother from killing me and my entire family." Game. Set. Match. I love Regina's "You got me," look, before she asks why Neal came to town. When Emma says he wanted to spend time with his son, Regina gets in a crack about how neither he nor Emma cared much about that for the first ten years of Henry's life. Emma isn't playing along. Instead, she advises Regina to concentrate on being the person Henry wants her to be, before she loses him for good. Regina's ears perk up at that, and she asks what "for good" means. Emma says it means nothing. "Unlike you, the rest of the world isn't always scheming to get what they want." Regina knows Emma is hiding something and assures her she'll find out what it is. Do my eyes deceive me, or does the look on Emma's face say that she is using Regina for her own purposes? My word, I hope so. Commercial.
Off-topic Sidebar: Look, I have a sick dog. She didn't eat my homework or anything, but she was spayed earlier this week, and has been having... digestive issues, ever since. I pretty much write a paragraph and then have to take her outside... again. She (and a... sample, oh joy) have to go to the vet, and her appointment is right at deadline, so you're going to get the skinny from here on out.
