As Victor tries to bring Gerhardt back, Rumpelstiltskin returns and Victor explains that a
normal human heart couldn’t withstand the electricity. Rumplestiltskin says that the hearts in

he needs. The Dark One offers to take Victor to his world, have him put on a show, and get the
heart that he needs.
Cora tells Regina that she came through to see her, and that she still loves her daughter. She
apologizes for making her marry the king, but Regina realizes that Cora framed her to convince
the townspeople that she killed Archie. Cora insists that she did it to show Regina what the
townspeople really think of her, but Regina doesn’t believe her and insists on turning Cora in so
she can clear her name. Regina’s mother agrees in return for Regina’s promise that she will let
them start over again. Regina doesn’t think it will happen and says that she wants to prove to
her child that she’s worthy of him. Cora says that she wants to do the same thing.

pocket watch into the water and then prepares to jump in, but Ruby runs forward and catches
him.
Using the Enchanted Forest heart, Victor brings Gerhardt back to life. He takes his brother’s
animated corpse to Alphonse, insisting that he’s brought him back to life. Alphonse initially
accepts the patchwork monstrosity as his son but realizes that he’s something different when
Gerhardt cowers away from a candle’s flame. As Gerhardt cowers on the flame, Alphonse shoves
Victor away, calling him a fool. When he sees someone attacking his beloved brother, Gerhardt instinctively
attacks Alphonse, beating him to death. Victor waits until he’s satisfied that Alphonse
is dead and then tells his brother to stop.
Whale talks to Ruby about how the name Frankenstein now is considered that of a monster,
and that no matter what he does to save lives, he ends up killing someone else. Ruby points out
that she’s a monster as well and ate her boyfriend, and that Regina’s curse of amnesia may have
been a gift. She suggests that they both take the opportunity to start over and that Whale should
help reunite Greg with his family by saving his life.
As Regina drives Cora into town, Cora takes out Henry’s plaque and tells her daughter that
she will never have Henry as long as his biological mother is alive. Regina insists that she wants
Henry back and pulls over, and Cora tells her that she wants Regina back as well. She promises
to do better and offers to help Regina get Henry back. As she comforts Regina, Cora assures her
daughter that she has a few ideas about how to reunite her grandson with his mother.
When Whale and Ruby return to the hospital, Whale tells the others that he’ll save Greg.
Victor locks Gerhardt in a cell and checks on him. Gerhardt doesn’t recognize his brother
at first and tries to choke him, but finally remembers and backs away in horror of what he’s
become. Horrified at his creation and what it has become, Victor takes out a gun and prepares
to kill his brother. He can’t bring himself to do it and lowers the gun, but Gerhardt grabs Victor’s
hand and raises the gun back up. Despite his brother’s wishes, Victor vows to find a way to save
him, leaves, and locks the door behind him.
Whale emerges from the operating theater and tells everyone that Greg will survive. Leroy
worries that Greg will expose them and Emma agrees to talk to Greg. Mary Margaret wants to be
there as well but Emma says that in a normal town the sheriff doesn’t bring her parents in to
interrogate accident victims.
Gold returns to Belle’s room with her teacup and tells her to focus on it. He insists that it’s
the most important item in her life and that he’s charmed it so that she will remember. Belle tells
him to stop talking about magic and throws the cup against the wall in a fury. Gold stares at the
shattered pieces and walks out.
Emma talks to Greg and explains that she’s the sheriff. He’s clearly hesitant to talk to her
and finally admits that he was texting while he was driving. Emma, satisfied that he didn’t see
anything, tells him that she’ll let him off with a warning and says that he can leave as soon as
the doctor clears him. Outside, Emma tells everyone that they’re safe.
At the pawnshop, Gold uses Cora’s gift and a drop of his own blood to activate the globe. As
he stares at it intently, the globe shows him a location in New York City.
When his mother and grandparents get home, Henry asks them what happened. When they
explain that Whale is Frankenstein, Henry points out that Frankenstein isn’t in his fairytale book
and wonders what other fictional characters might be in Storybrooke because of Regina’s curse.
