Returning [[Storybrooke|home]] from [[New York City|New York]], [[Regina Mills|Regina]] is welcomed by [[Henry Mills|Henry]], while [[David Nolan|David]] gets [[Zelena]] out of the [[Yellow Bug|yellow bug]]. [[Robin Hood]] is skeptical about Zelena's inability to use [[magic]], but Regina assures him that the [[Enchanted Cuffs|enchanted bracelet]] will keep her powerless. Near, [[Emma Swan|Emma]] reunites with [[Hook]], just as [[Maleficent]] informs that she is taking [[Lily Page|Lily]] to the [[Granny's Diner|diner]]. Before the two leave, Emma calls Lily aside and threatens to use magic against her if she ever does anything to David and [[Mary Margaret Blanchard|Mary Margaret]]. Regina then sends Robin Hood to retrieve a [[Memory Potions|forgetting potion]] from her [[Storybrooke Town Hall|office]] so that [[Roland]]'s recollections of the fake [[Maid Marian|Marian]] are erased. David prepares to take Zelena to the [[Storybrooke Sheriff's Department|sheriff's station]], but Regina decides to take her herself [[Storybrooke General Hospital|somewhere else]]. As they all part ways, Robin Hood once more remarks that things can still work out, to which Regina replies there are things about her that he doesn't know.<ref>http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x316h5e_s4-deleted-scene-things-can-change_tv</ref>

Deleted Scenes

"Things Can Change"

This scenes is included on Once Upon a Time: The Complete Fourth Season.

Returning home from New York, Regina is welcomed by Henry, while David gets Zelena out of the yellow bug. Robin Hood is skeptical about Zelena's inability to use magic, but Regina assures him that the enchanted bracelet will keep her powerless. Near, Emma reunites with Hook, just as Maleficent informs that she is taking Lily to the diner. Before the two leave, Emma calls Lily aside and threatens to use magic against her if she ever does anything to David and Mary Margaret. Regina then sends Robin Hood to retrieve a forgetting potion from her office so that Roland's recollections of the fake Marian are erased. David prepares to take Zelena to the sheriff's station, but Regina decides to take her herself somewhere else. As they all part ways, Robin Hood once more remarks that things can still work out, to which Regina replies there are things about her that he doesn't know.[3]

Regina Spares Zelena: Alternate Version

As described by Jane Espenson on the Season Four Blu-ray Audio Commentary.

The scene where Regina decides to spare Zelena's life, was originally filmed with Robin staying in the hallway outside her cell listening. Regina then went out to him after finishing her story about Cora. It was changed to Robin entering the cell during their conversation.[4]

Belle

Belle was originally set to appear in a scene where she is standing on/walking down the street outside the pawnshop, but the scene was cut. However, the scene can still be seen in an official promotional photo from the episode.[5]

Trivia

Production Notes

  • The original opening scene was supposed to be the one with Regina and Robin Hood at the bar, but the editing room decided it was much more exciting to begin with the Evil Queen.[4]
  • Kylee Bush, who plays the bride whose wedding the Evil Queen interrupted, is one of Michael Coleman's acting students.[10]
  • The bar where Regina and Robin are at the beginning of the episode is supposed to be the same bar where Emma and Neal were in "Manhattan". However, the real bar was not available for the shooting, so another bar was faked to look like the original bar.[4]
  • The little exchange between Emma and Zelena in Neal's apartment in the beginning of the episode, was written by Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis.[4]
  • Footage from filming of the establishing shot of Storybrooke in the morning[11] was re-used for an establishing shot in the Season Five episodes "Our Decay"[12] and "Only You".[13] This can be seen from purplish color of the sky, and the parked cars in the streets, which are exactly the same. The time on the CGI clock tower is identical in "Only You", but was changed for "Our Decay". Footage from this shot was also used for an establishing shot in "Our Decay".[14]
  • Beverley Elliott's daughter Sally and her friend Freya were background performers during one of the diner scenes.[15]
  • The scene with Isaac and Mr. Gold at Granny's Diner, was originally supposed to end with them walking out of the building, but it was changed into Gold teleporting them away instead.[4]
  • Originally, the scene where Emma and Regina are coming back with Zelena, Robin, Roland and Lily was set to happen at the town line, sort of "pre-dawn, misty, and everybody meeting up almost in slow-motion". Because of production issues, it had to be moved to daytime, to the center of Storybrooke.[4]
  • Originally, the scene between Regina and Isaac at the mausoleum was set to happen in the backroom of Any Given Sundae. The original set had a big mirror in it, and when Regina teleported herself and Isaac to the ice cream store, she was going to tell him not to hide where there was a giant mirror, because Regina could see him through it. But the set was unavailable, so the scene was moved to the mauseoleum.[4]
  • For the scene where Cora comes to Regina with news about her "soulmate", the Valet was originally going to put papers in front of Regina to sign. Someone came up with the idea of him brushing her hair instead.[4]
  • The Evil Queen's date with the Sheriff of Nottingham was originally set out in the same meadow where Regina interrupted the wedding. Halfway through the date, the Sheriff would notice the rice that was spilled when Regina killed the groom, and say, "Is there rice in this grass?". However, they could not get that set, so the scene was moved to the apple tree instead.[4]
  • For her date with the Sheriff, Lana Parrilla wanted Regina to have a young Cora look and essence, with the way she moved and leaned, and styled her hair. She asked the hair stylist to make her look like Rose McGowan, who plays young Cora on the show.[16]
  • For the scene where the Sheriff's fake lion tattoo comes to life and crawls under his shirt, the special effects were done with a tube taped along Wil Traval's body, which went up his arm, around his neck and down the other arm. A crew member pulled an object on a string, to make his shirt ripple.[16]
  • The scenes where Regina takes out her anger on her mother for setting her up with the wrong soulmate, was originally written as a single, long scene. It was edited into several scenes in post-production.[4]
