Recap

This section is a detailed recap of this episode. There are major spoilers. Click to expand.

The next morning after Emma Swan decides to stay in Storybrooke, the townspeople notice the town clock has started to move. Regina goes through her son Henry's storybook and notices that there are missing pages near the back. She goes to Henry and asks where the pages are, but he says that it is an old book, and they have always been gone. Regina complains that he thinks of her as an evil queen, rather than as his mother. He insists that he does not, and she asks who he does think his mother is. Regina assures him that Emma is no longer an issue, but then hears the town clock chime.

She goes to see it and notices that Emma's car is still in town. Regina goes to see Emma with a basket of apples, saying that they're from the tree that she has had since she was a little girl. The mayor suggests that Emma should enjoy them on her way home.

Emma points out that Regina telling her to leave is just encouraging her to stay, and that she wants to stay and make sure her biological son is okay. When Regina says that she has things under control, Emma asks what she means, and Regina says that she has the boy in therapy and warns Emma not to underestimate her.

The Evil Queen teleports back to her castle, as Prince Charming tries to kill her by throwing his sword. The Magic Mirror asks what she has done, and the Evil Queen explains that she has cast the Dark Curse, much to the surprise of her servant and the Magic Mirror. She then goes to the Forbidden Fortress to see Maleficent, and the two briefly spar verbally.

The Evil Queen then demands her curse back, but Maleficent says that they have already made their exchange, and it is hers now. The Evil Queen says that she knows that it is hidden in the orb on Maleficent's staff; Maleficent points out that it is contained for good reason and asks where it came from. The Evil Queen summons one of her magical forces, a fireball from the fireplace. Maleficent fights back, as the Evil Queen animates all of the weapons, and throws them at Maleficent's pet, a black unicorn.

The mistress protects her pet, but the Evil Queen binds her to the wall, with the metal from the chandelier, and takes the staff, smashing the orb to retrieve the curse. When Maleficent tells her to do her worse, the Evil Queen refuses, saying that she is her only friend, and ignores her friend's warning that the Dark Curse will create a void within her that she cannot fill. The Evil Queen accepts that and leaves with the curse.

Later, the Evil Queen meets with the other dark forces of the land and tells them that today is the day that they will finally emerge triumphant. They ask if they will be happy, and the Evil Queen says that they will, but she needs a lock of hair from the darkest souls of the land. At her gesture, the trees around them animate, surrounding them. They each contribute a lock, and the Evil Queen causes the limbs to withdraw.

She then takes out the final ingredient: the heart of her prized steed from her childhood. She unleashes the Dark Curse, and a column of magical smoke swirls up into the air, as the others look on, but then disappears. A gnome laughs at the Evil Queen for her failure, and she transforms him into a stone statue.

Regina is in the garden admiring the apples and a gnome statue, when the newspaper editor, Sidney, approaches her. He has already published an article in the town newspaper, the Mirror, about Emma destroying the town's boundary marker, but admits that he has learned little of Emma's background. Regina points out that he's learned nothing of value and warns him to find something, or she'll dispose of him.

Emma is at Granny's Diner getting breakfast, when the waitress, Ruby, brings her a cup of hot chocolate. She tells Emma that someone has bought it for her, and Emma, seeing Sheriff Graham, assumes it is from him. Emma tells him that she does not want gifts from him, and Henry looks up from the next booth and says that he sent it over. He invites her to walk him to school and tells her that his plan is to free everyone from the curse. As Emma attempts to eat one of Regina's apples, Henry grabs it and throws it away. She asks why the citizens do not remember their past lives, and Henry explains that they all live in a haze, and Emma is the only one who can free everyone. He removed the pages from the storybook, to keep Regina from learning that Emma is the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. Henry tells her to read the pages and learn about her past, but to make sure that Regina does not see them because it would be bad, if she learned who Emma is. They arrive at the school, and Henry goes inside, after saying that he is glad Emma believes him. Henry's teacher, Mary Margaret Blanchard, sees them talking and comes over to thank Emma for making Henry smile. She explains to Emma that Regina has managed to remain mayor through intimidation and that Henry thinks she is Snow White. When Mary Margaret asks who Henry thinks Emma is, Emma lies and she says she is not in the book.

Emma goes to see Archie Hopper and asks why Henry thinks that people are storybook characters. Archie explains that Henry is using the book to deal with his problems, but Emma points out that Henry only got the book a month ago, while Henry's problems go back further. The psychiatrist admits that Henry has had problems with his adoptive mother, and he offers Emma the file.

Emma wonders why he is violating doctor-patient confidentiality, and Archie says that Emma is very important to Henry. As she goes, Archie tells her to be careful not to destroy the boy's imagination. Once Emma leaves, Archie calls Regina and says that she was right, and that Emma took the file. When Archie wonders why Emma came there, Regina says that she is the one who gave Emma the idea.

Emma is in her room at Granny's Bed and Breakfast reading the file, when Graham comes by to visit. He says that Archie has filed a complaint that Emma stole the file. Emma shows him the file, and Graham arrests her. She points out that she's being set up, but Graham asks who would want to set her up.

Regina comes to see Henry at school and tells Mary Margaret that it is important. She takes him aside and tells him that Emma has been arrested and that she is a con woman, trying to take advantage of them. Henry does not believe it, but Regina insists that she is just trying to protect them. As Graham takes Emma's photos, Emma warns him that Regina is trying to get rid of her and asks what influence she has, with the police. Henry arrives with Mary Margret and tells Emma that he knew she was gathering intel, for his operation. Mary Margaret offers to post bail, much to Emma's surprise.

Regina is working in her office, when she hears a noise outside. She looks outside and sees Emma taking a chainsaw to her apple tree. Regina storms out, and Emma tells her that she will have to do better than that to get her out of town. She tells Regina that it is her move and walks away.

The Valet tells the Evil Queen that perhaps it is for the best that she failed, since the dark forces are more powerful than she can conceive. He assures her that helping her is his life, and she asks for his help to find out why the Dark Curse did not work. The Valet suggest that she goes to the person who gave her the curse and warns that, after going for revenge, there is no going back. The Evil Queen wonders what she has to go back to.

Rumplestiltskin is in his cell, when he realizes that one of the mice outside his cell is the Evil Queen and tells her she can show herself. She transforms to her human form and tells him that the Dark Curse he gave her is not working. Rumplestiltskin says that Snow White and Prince Charming visited him and that he told them that only their unborn child can stop the darkness. She asks what she did wrong, and Rumplestiltskin says that he will tell her, in return for a good life in her new future and also says that she must agree that she will heed his every request, as long as he says "please". The Evil Queen notes that he will not remember anything, if the curse succeeds, and so she agrees. He then tells her that she needs to sacrifice the heart of something precious. When she states that she used the heart of her most prized steed, Rumplestiltskin hisses that what she requires is more than just a horse's heart, for the curse to work. The Evil Queen asks what will suffice, and he says the heart of what she loves most. When she says that what she loved most died, because of Snow White, Rumplestiltskin says that there must be something else and tells her to consider how far she's willing to go. The Evil Queen says that she will go as far as it takes, and he tells her to stop wasting time and go kill it.

As Emma returns to her room, Granny approaches her and asks her to leave, because they have a no-felons city ordinance. Granny asks for her key back, and Emma hands it over. Graham comes to see Regina, who demands that he arrest Emma, for destroying city property. The sheriff remarks that Emma may be innocent and wonders who convinced Archie to lie. Regina warns him not to let a crush get the better of him.

Graham agrees to arrest Emma, but warns her that she will keep coming, no matter what, and Henry will be hurt if the situation escalates. As Emma goes to get her car, she discovers that it has been booted. Regina calls and offers to meet with her, so that they can make peace. When Emma gets there, Regina apologizes and then suggests that Emma wants to take Henry away. Emma denies it and says that she simply wants to make sure that Henry is okay, given his troubles.

Emma explains that Henry cannot tell the difference between fantasy and reality and that she worries he is delusional. Henry overhears them and runs away, and Emma realizes that Regina set her up. Regina says that she did know he would be there, because she is his mother. Emma wonders how Regina has become so soulless and walks away.

The Evil Queen returns to her castle, and the Magic Mirror asks what happened. She ignores him, and the Valet asks if she learned what she needed to know. The Evil Queen admits that she is conflicted and explains what she has to do, and the Valet realizes that he is the one that she loves most. She calls him "Daddy" and admits that she doesn't know what to do. He tells her to move past it, but the Evil Queen says that she cannot live with what Snow White took from her.

The Valet suggests that she start over, so they can have a new life, but the Evil Queen says that her power will disappear, and the others will think she is nothing. He tells her that she can have love again and hugs her, saying they can find happiness together. However, the choice is hers. The Evil Queen cries and then says that he can be right, and stabs him in the heart, as he stares at her in shock. As he collapses to the ground, the Evil Queen apologizes.

Emma goes to see Mary Margaret, to pay back the bail money. The teacher offers to hear her out and offers her cinnamon hot chocolate and cookies. Emma asks why Mary Margaret trusts her, and she says that she has the feeling that they have met before.

She believes that Emma is innocent, but Emma says that she is leaving to keep Henry from being hurt. Mary Margaret points out that the fact that Emma wants to leave is the very reason to stay, because she cares about him and there'll be no one else to protect him.

Henry goes to see Archie for therapy, and he says that he does not think Archie is Jiminy Cricket. Emma storms in, and Archie tries to apologize, for what he did, but she tells Henry that she wants to stay and get to know him. She admits that she thinks the curse is crazy, but that does not mean that it is not true. Emma told Regina what she needed to hear, and that the only way to break the curse is by tricking the Evil Queen, into thinking that they are both nonbelievers.

Henry cheers up, tells her that the pages are dangerous, and burns them in Archie's fireplace, to make sure that Regina never sees them. He gets up and hugs her, saying that he knew she was there to help him. Emma assures him that not even a curse will stop her from helping him.

The Evil Queen takes her father's heart to the clearing and tosses it into the fire. This time the curse expands throughout the land, changing everything in its path. The Evil Queen then goes to a gravestone and leaves a flower at her father Henry's grave.

Henry and Emma leave Archie's office together. As Regina tends to her apple tree, Mr. Gold comes by and congratulates her on being in high spirits. When the mayor says that she has triumphed, Mr. Gold warns her that he saw Emma and Henry together.

He suggests that Regina should have come to him for help... for a price. When Regina says that she's not in the business of making deals with him anymore, Mr. Gold points out that he procured Henry for her and asks how she chose the name.

Regina realizes that Mr. Gold wanted Emma to come to Storybrooke and asks where he obtained Henry. Mr. Gold says he will not answer her questions and asks her to let it go... please. Regina stares at him in dawning realization, as he walks away.

STRANGER DESTROYS HISTORIC SIGN


ALCOHOL INVOLVED

By Michael Wong – staff

Storybrooke, Maine – The "Welcome
to Storybrooke" sign on Route 1 was
demolished this morning shortly
after 3 a.m. when a single car
swerved off the road, colliding with
the sign as it came to rest.
Emma Swan, 28, of Boston was
traveling south of Route 1 when she
lost control of her 1979 Volkswagen
Beetle
beetle and left the roadway,
Storybrooke Sheriff Graham told.
Earlier that evening, Swan was
seen getting into her vehicle visibly
intoxicated, at which it was
suggested to her that she spend the
night in town, rather than attempt
the drive back to Boston.
According to Sheriff Graham, Swan
claims that she was not drunk and
that she swerved to avoid a large wolf
in the road.
Swan was wearing her seatbelt and
was uninjured.
Swan was taken to the Storybrooke
Sheriff's office
where she was treated
and held overnight as a precaution.
The sign sustained about $1,200
worth of damage.
  • CREW NAMES ON PROPS: Michael Wong worked as an art director on this episode.
  • The part about Emma being recommended to spend the night in Storybrooke as she was about to leave town, refers to a deleted scene from "Pilot," where Graham meets Emma by her car and suggests that she stays at the inn for the night due to Regina's drinks being strong. Emma disagrees and believes she is fine to drive and would pass a breathalyzer test.
  • A newspaper prop auctioned off online in March 2019 reveals that the caption reads "Emma Swan, suspected of damaging Storybrooke's historic signage."[37]
  • Note that Emma's article is just the same block of text repeated three times.
  • The bottom headlines read "Sonnet Hill Orchard Park Apple Trees Threatened by Prune Beetle S[four illegible characters]"[38] and "Crops Decimated by Freak Flood."[39]

U.S. Midwest floods wipe out crops,

Crops Decimated by Freak Flood

washed-out corn and soybean crops
and soaring grain prices.

Local Mining
Museum Fall
On Hard Times


By Craig Powell
Daily Mail Correspondences


Houlton, MA – The majority of
the metallic, mineral occurrences of
northwestern Maine are within
Aroostook County mining districts.
Since the decline of the mining
industry in the 1970s the good
people of Houlton have been
represented by the Houlton Mining
Museum.
This august institution was dealt
a blow, however, when the state
legislature was forced to cut back on
funding. Councillor Herman
Alexander stated that the withdrawal
was the result of the economic
downturn and that the museum
should be encouraged to seek
partnerships with private local
interests.
The head curator of the museum,
Eduardo Castro, intimated that the
legislature's decision did not bode
well for for [sic] the future well being of
Houlton's premiere tourist attraction
and prime county employer. Since
the decline of the mining industry in
the 1970s the good people of
Houlton have been represented by
the Houlton Mining Museum.
  • Craig Powell was as a camera operator on the show, and the director of the Season Five episode episode "Last Rites." Eduardo Castro was the costume designer for the first six seasons.
  • The same headline can be glimpsed inside the newspaper that Mary Margaret reads in "The Shepherd."[44]
  • The second back page article is called "Storybrooke couple attest to the power of 'junque'."[37] The fictional journalist is Sylvia Jang, a production staff member on "The Stranger." The content, however, has nothing to do with the headline; the first four paragraphs are copied from the aforementioned "Crops Decimated by Freak Flood" article on the front page (even the misprints are the same),[37] but with a different layout; and the final paragraph is the same as the first sentence of the "Sonnet Hill Orchard Park Apple Trees Threatened by Prune Beetle Scourge" front page article (again with identical misprints). The photograph is different and matches the "junk" headline, but the caption is the same as the first paragraph.


  • BRAND INFO: Mary Margaret's cup[62] is a Homegrown Monogram Mug by Anthropologie[63] (no longer available).

Set Dressing

  • ARTWORKS: The framed picture next to Emma's bed at the inn[71] is Magnolia Time, a lithograph from 1942 by the twentieth century ornithologist and artist Roger Tory Peterson.[72]
  • BRAND INFO: The diner wallpaper[75] is called Mirage Gray and was made by Graham & Brown[76] (at the time of June 2018, the exact color is no longer available).
  • HIDDEN DETAILS: A framed Doctor of Psychiatry diploma from the Stanforth University School of Medicine is hanging on Archie's wall.[77] However, this is just a fake document created by the Dark Curse.
  • ARTWORKS: On Archie's wall, there are three framed illustrations by the renowned German biologist and artist Ernst Haeckel, from his book Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature; link to digitized edition vol. one; link to vol. two), first published between 1899 and 1904 in separate installments, and collectively in 1904. From left to right:
  • An L. N. Fowler phrenology head is sitting on Archie's shelf.[82] Phrenology, now considered obsolete, is a pseudomedicine based on the concept that certain areas in the brain were used for specific functions. The phrenology head (a china head showing the phrenological faculties) was a tool of trade for Victorian doctors.[83]
  • BRAND INFO: The wallpaper in Emma's room at the inn[84] has Rose Bunch Cottage Prints VC53104 wallpaper from Wallquest.[85]

Costume Notes

Goofs

  • In an exterior shot of Storybrooke, the computer-generated clock tower is situated at least two streets behind Sara's Old Fashioned Ice Cream,[122] a business located next to Mr. Gold's pawnshop.[123] However, other episodes clearly show that the pawnshop and Sara's Old-fashioned Ice Cream are both located in the same street as the clock tower building, with the clock tower building on the opposite side of the road.[124]
  • The article on the front page of the Storybrooke Daily Mirror is just the same block of text repeated three times.[36]
  • In "Pilot," Emma has a mole on her chest.[125] In this episode, it is gone.[126]
    • In real life, Jennifer Morrison has had many moles removed from her body.[127] The scar from this particular surgery, can be seen in a few episodes; the most prominent example is when Emma wearing a revealing corset in the Season Three episode "Snow Drifts."[128]
  • Regina claims to Emma that her apples are from a Honeycrisp tree. However, the apples in the basket, on the tree, and everywhere else that apples are used in this episode, are Red Delicious, which have a totally different shape and color from Honeycrisp apples. Honeycrisp apples were not commercially available until 1991, and must be specifically bred.
  • When Emma is walking Henry to school, at the beginning of their conversation about the curse, they are walking down the street away from Storybrooke Country Bread and Storybrooke Hardware and Paint, they are visible in the background. However, as they walk they pass the sign for Storybrooke Hardware and Paint twice. At the end of the conversation, when Henry gives Emma the pages from the storybook, they are in front of Storybrooke Country Bread.
    • Also during this scene, when Emma pauses and stops walking, the clock tower is reflected in the window, but without the actual clock tower.[129] (The clock and the uppermost part of the tower are CGI; they are not part of the actual building in Steveston Village.)
  • During Regina's conversation with Emma in her office, she states that today is a Thursday. This is later proven incorrect. According to "The Stranger" and the Season Two episode "Selfless, Brave and True," August woke up in pain in Phuket on October 24, 2011 at 8:15 A.M. the exact minute that Emma decided to stay in Storybrooke at 8:15 P.M. on October 23 (since Thailand is 12 hours ahead of Maine's timezone). This episode takes place the next day, but October 24, 2011 was a Monday.[130]
  • When Emma is drinking hot cocoa with Mary Margaret, she has a flower tattoo on her wrist.[131] When she opens the door for Granny earlier in the episode, it can barely be seen.[132]
  • Maleficent says Regina was about the same age when Daniel was killed as Snow White is on her wedding day. In actuality, Regina was about eighteen years old when she married King Leopold,[nb 1] while Snow White was approximately twenty-eight when she married Prince Charming.[nb 2]

(…) As a biblical animal, the unicorn was interpreted allegorically in the early Christian church. One of the earliest such interpretations appears in the ancient Greek bestiary known as the Physiologus, which states that the unicorn is a strong, fierce animal that can be caught only if a virgin maiden is placed before it. The unicorn leaps into the virgin's lap, and she suckles it and leads it to the king's palace. Medieval writers thus likened the unicorn to Christ, who raised up a horn of salvation for mankind and dwelt in the womb of the Virgin Mary. (…) Many fine representations of the hunt of the unicorn survive in medieval art, not only in Europe but also in the Islamic world and in China.”

In medieval Europe, dragons were usually depicted with wings and a barbed tail and as breathing fire. (...) In general, in the Middle Eastern world, where snakes are large and deadly, the serpent or dragon was symbolic of the principle of evil. (...) In East Asian mythologies the dragon retains its prestige and is conceived as a beneficent creature. (...) Both Chinese and Japanese dragons, though regarded as powers of the air, are usually wingless. They are among the deified forces of nature in Daoism. Dragons also figure in the ancient mythologies of other Asian cultures, including those of Korea, India, and Vietnam.”

Notes

  1. In the novel Regina Rising, where Eva is still alive, Regina is sixteen (according to page 11), while Snow White is seven or eight (according to page 228), which means that Regina is approximately eight–nine years older than her stepdaughter. Snow White is eight years old when Eva passes away in "The Queen Is Dead" (in "Shattered Sight," Mary Margaret states that she was ten years old during the events of "The Stable Boy." Emma says the same thing in "Sympathy for the De Vil." In "the Stable Boy," King Leopold says that they lost Eva "years ago" and in "The Price," Mary Margaret says to Emma that her mother sent her on a ball when she was eight. This means that Eva died when Snow was eight.) and ten when Regina marries Leopold. This means that Regina is about eighteen years old when she marries Leopold.
  2. In "The Heart of the Truest Believer," which takes place less than a year after "Pilot"*, Emma says that she and her parents are the same age ("I appreciate you trying to be parents, but we're the same age. We have equal amounts of wisdom."). According to "The Thing You Love Most," Regina started working on casting the Dark Curse on Snow White's wedding night (Maleficent says to Regina, "Well, it's her wedding night, I doubt she's suffering right now.") and as implied in "The New Neverland" and confirmed in "Unforgiven," Snow White got pregnant with Emma on her honeymoon. Mary Margaret gave birth to Emma at the same time as the curse was cast, which means that less than a year passes between her wedding and the casting of the curse. As seen in "Pilot," time is then frozen for twenty-eight years, before time starts moving again when Emma turns twenty-eight.

    *In "The Tower," which takes place one year after the first half of Season Three (as seen in "Going Home"), David says that it's been nearly thirty years since Emma was born. This means that less than a year passes between "Pilot," where Emma turns 28, and the second half of Season Three.
