Once Upon A Time Episode Guide
After the mayor leaves, Emma gets up and spills her cocoa on her dress. She uses the laundry
room and finds a pregnant young maid, Ashley Boyd (Cinderella), crying. Ashley explains that
she’s having contractions and that no one thinks she can be a mother. She wonders if they’re
right and Emma says, ”screw them.” Emma tells Ashley that she was 18 when she had a kid and
that ultimately, the choice is Ashley’s and there are no fairy godmothers in the world.
That night, Mr. Gold leaves his pawnshop. Once he walks off, Ashley breaks into his shop
and goes to the safe. Gold comes in behind her and asks what she’s doing, and she says that
she’s changing her life. She sprays him with mace and he staggers back, hitting his head and
knocking himself out. Ashley takes a gold watch from his pocket and leaves.
The next morning, Regina is leaving for a Saturday morning council meeting and tells Henry
that he’s to do his homework and stay inside. She reminds Henry that Emma is just a woman
passing through and that he’s not to see her. Once Regina leaves, Henry grabs his backpack and
leaves.
Emma is unpacking her boxes as Mary Margaret makes breakfast. She’s surprised that Emma
has so little possessions and Emma says that she’s not very sentimental. Gold arrives to talk to
Emma and asks for her help to find Ashley. He claims that he doesn’t want to ruin her life but
just wants to get something back, so he wants Emma to help instead of going to the police. Gold
says that Ashley was rambling about changing her life, and Emma agrees so that she can help
Ashley. Henry comes in and is clearly uncomfortable with Gold. He tells Henry to give his regards
to Regina and leaves, and Henry says that he came to hang out. He trails along after Emma and
insists on helping, but Emma refuses. Henry refuses to take no for an answer and Emma has no
choice but to take him along.
Cinderella watches the fireworks and Prince Thomas joins her on the balcony. She talks about
how she used to watch the fireworks for afar and knew they were for something special, and now
they’re for their wedding. They go down and meet with the crowd, including the King, Prince
Charming, and Snow White. The King dances with her and hopes that their family will soon be
growing. Prince Charming offers his congratulations and then Snow White pulls her away and
talks about how Cinderella showed that anyone could change their life. Rumplestiltskin then
appears to Cinderella and says that he’s there to make sure she’s happy with her end of the
bargain. Cinderella admits that she did and Rumplestiltskin says that he wants her firstborn
child when it arrives.
Later, Cinderella is packing when Prince Thomas returns early from a hunt. He realizes that
she’s going somewhere and Cinderella explains that she’s pregnant. She explains that it was
Rumplestiltskin that sent her to the ball and she made a deal for their firstborn. Prince Thomas
insists that their love is real and tells her that they’ll make a new deal.
Emma goes to the diner and talks to Ruby, who explains that Ashley’s boyfriend Sean (Prince
Thomas) left her. The mechanic, Billy, is towing away Ruby’s car for repairs and complains when
she shakes it up. Ruby suggests that Emma stay out of it but Emma refuses, so Ruby sends her
to talk to Sean, who lives with his father. Emma goes to see Sean, but his father Mitchell (the
King) shows up and says that his son will have nothing to do with Ashley. Mitchell explains that
he wants his son to have someone better, and dismisses Ashley as inconsequential. Emma tries
to convince Sean to help, but Mitchell sends him inside and tells Emma that he made a deal for
someone to take the baby. When Emma says that Ashley is trying to change her life, Mitchell
says everyone says that and Emma realizes that he made the deal with Gold.
As Emma drives away, Henry warns her that no one has ever been able to break a deal with
Gold. However, Emma insists that Ashley should have the chance to be a mother. She returns
to the diner and confronts Ruby, asking why she didn’t tell her everything. Ruby says that she
doesn’t like the idea of people judging her friend. When Emma sees that Ruby’s car is gone, she
realizes that Ruby sent her to Sean to give Cinderella a head start. Emma asks her for more
information, but Ruby refuses to talk in front of Regina’s son. After convincing Henry to leave,
Emma goes back to Ruby, who says that Ashley left a half-hour ago and is going to Boston to
start a new life.
As Emma drives toward Boston, she discovers that Henry is in the backseat. He warns that
anyone who tries to leave Storybrooke has bad things happen to them. When Emma threatens
to take him back, Henry points out that it will take too much time and that Emma has no choice
but to take him with her.
The Princes take Cinderella into the mines beneath the castle where they’ve prepared a prison.
