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!
Over at the Sheriff's office, Sidney brings Emma Kathryn's phone records from the day she disappeared. They include an eight minute call between Kathryn and David. Emma says it's impossible given David's statement. Sidney insists he's lying. Emma AGAIN points out that she knows when people are lying. Sidney points to the records. "It's right here on paper, Emma. Phone records don't lie. People do, and our friend David does it better than most." Emma looks Sidney right in the eye. I hope her Spidey senses are tingling.
Mary's having stiff drink at Granny's when Leroy joins her. He shares his bad news. Mary says he was right. "I was dreaming if I thought the town harlot and the town drunk could accomplish anything." Oh man, I hate Snow White as the town harlot. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
Enchanted Forest, Eight Dwarfs House, Night: Dreamy is sneaking out to meet Nova, when he's caught by Stealthy. Eventually, Dreamy tells all his brothers his plan to run away with Nova. Although the brothers don't understand, they are happy for him, and rush to hug him.
Bossy stops Dreamy on the road and lectures him about his responsibility. When Dreamy says he loves Nova, Bossy tells him dwarfs aren't capable of love. Now that's clearly not true because it's obvious Dreamy's brothers love him. If Bossy means dwarfs aren't capable of loving women, I guess that's a different argument. I can't decide if I'm glad that it's probably the fairy dust that altered Dreamy. Part of me wishes he was just naturally different and brave enough to admit it -- like a coming out story of sorts. Anyhow, he asks Bossy, "What if I'm different? What if you're wrong?"
