Season One
Emma Swan goes to Granny's Diner for the first time after she spends the night at Granny's Bed and Breakfast. There she is given a free cinnamon hot chocolate by Ruby, Granny's granddaughter, who works as a waitress at the diner. Ruby says Emma has a secret admirer, and she looks behind to see Sheriff Graham sitting in a booth. Emma approaches him and says she is flattered, but is not in town to flirt. Sheriff Graham corrects her and says he didn't send over the hot chocolate. Instead, it was found out to be Henry, who wanted to get her attention. He insists she walk him to school, which she does. ("The Thing You Love Most") Mary Margaret Blanchard is having an evening date with Dr. Whale. He jokingly remarks he'd heard she wants fifteen kids, and she refutes the claim by stating she's only a teacher to fifteen kids. Mary Margaret Blanchard does, however, go on to say she would like to get married and have children in the future. She stops herself from going further when she realizes Dr. Whale has not been listening to her. Instead, he has been oogling Ruby as she cleaned a nearby table. Mary Margaret Blanchard asks for the check as Ruby passes, and the date ends on a bad note.

Emma asks the favor of Mary Margaret, who realizes she wants to help Henry see on his own that fairytales aren't real. They agree to meet the morning after at Granny's Diner for a full report.
