Ok, I'm in. Here's my thoughts.

Scene opens in Gold's Pawn shop. Belle, Regina, and Emma are looking over the hat box.

Regina: So, what you're saying is that this 'thing' captures magical beings so that the owner can utilize their magic.

Belle: That's right. From what I read, this was a prized item sought by the Dark One for ages, as it can be used to gather enough magic to seperate the Dark One from the Dagger, while still retaining all of the power.

Regina: so THAT's what that power hungry imp wanted to do before saying farewell to Storybrooke.

Emma: And Killian said that he gathered all of the Fairies, and the Sorcerer's Apprentice, while he was being controlled by Gold.

Regina So, is there any way to release the people?

Belle: It appears to be possible, but there is nothing reported on that. It may be something that only the Sorcerer himself can do, as he is the one that created the hat.

Regina: So where is this Sorcerer? I don't suppose you got his cell phone number somewhere?

Emma: And what else do we know about this sorcerer? If he is powerful enough to make this hat, I doubt very much that he will be someone that is easy to deal with, even for both of us.

Belle: Sorry, Your Majesty, but that is all I've been able to find. at least so far.

Emma: So I suppose we add finding this Sorcerer to the top of our list, along with finding the Author.

Regina: that, and hiding that cursed Dagger so that Rumple won't ever be able to find it.

Belle: I thought you said the trip over the town line is one-way.

Regina: It never hurts to be extra cautious, particularly where that imp is concerned. If there is a way around the border blockade, He'll find it.

Belle: Ok, I'll get to work to see if there is anything else I can find out. Emma, can you send Killian over here, I have an errand I'd like him to run. And Regina, see if you can send Henry over. I'd like to get into Rumples safe, but it's blocked by Blood Magic, and Henry's the only one available to open it.

(Girls depart the shop, with Belle locking it up, while the others go their separate ways.)
