says that he feels that way because she’s the one who saved his life, and tells David to leave it at
that.
In the fairy tale world, the Prince is fighting a burly knight near the edge of a cliff. They spar
back and forth and the Prince finally kills the knight. The watching nobles applaud and King
George boasts of his son’s victory. However, the other king, Midas, points out that the knight was
just a man and wonders if the prince can kill a dragon. The Prince insists that he can kill any
creature and offers to assist in return for payment to his kingdom. A guard steps forward and
carefully removes Midas’ glove. He touches the Prince’s sword, transmuting it into gold as a down
payment., and then departs. As the Prince prepares to leave, the knight revives long enough to
stab him through the chest, killing him.
Later, King George and his men gather to take the Prince’s body away. An aide warns that
they need to find another warrior to kill the dragon before Midas learns of the prince’s death
and refuses to pay. The King says that he has asked for help, and Rumplestiltskin arrives. Once
they’re alone, Rumplestiltskin reminds King George that he gave him his son as part of a deal,
and the King offers him anything to bring his son back. The imp wants a magic wand belonging
to the Fairy Godmother, patron to the King’s family, and asks for her whereabouts. King George
agrees and Rumplestiltskin warns that he can’t resurrect the Prince. However, he can have the
Prince slay the dragon... or rather, his twin brother.
In a quiet field, James, the man who will be Prince Charming, watches over his sheep.
Mary Margaret is at home scrubbing plates as Emma looks on. She suggests that her roommate
take it easy and figures her frustration has to do with David. Emma pours Mary Margaret
a drink and tells her that if something you want to do is wrong, it probably is. All Mary Margaret
can do is stay strong and let David figure out his life.
At his home, David is going through photos of himself and Kathryn. She comes in and notes
that he’s letting hair grow out, and invites him to join her in bed. David suggests that they just
sit and talk, and Kathryn leans forward and kisses him. After a moment, David pulls away and
insists that it isn’t right.
James chases a sheep into its pen and his mother Ruth returns from the market. She says
that it was interesting and explains that she had a talk with a grain merchant who has a daughter
ready for marriage. James resists and figures that the grain merchant has a dowry, and his
mother admits that they need money to save the farm. However, her son insists that he wants
to choose the woman he will spend the rest of his life with. When Ruth says that he can’t have
everything, Rumplestiltskin arrives and says that perhaps he can. Ruth tells her son that she
had a twin son and gave him to Rumplestiltskin, and the deal forbade them from ever telling
James.
Her husband died carrying the guilt to his grave.
James sends Ruth into the house and Rumplestiltskin explains that the king needs a prince to
slay a dragon. He tells James to play the part and the King’s knights will take care of everything.
Rumplestiltskin avoids telling James what he gets from the deal, but assures him that the King
will make sure that Ruth will keep the farm. James considers and Rumplestiltskin tells him to
make the right choice.
Mary Margaret is at the diner having breakfast when Dr. Whale stops by and asks if she
resigned because of him. He admits that he never called her after their date and apologizes, and
says she can find him if she needs him. As he leaves, Regina comes in to talk to Mary Margaret.
She tells her that she doesn’t belong with David. When Mary Margaret says that she’s done
nothing, Regina tells her that David left Kathryn. Mary Margaret admits she has no idea what
happened and Regina realizes she’s telling the truth. She tells Mary Margaret that it’s in her best
interests to stay away from David, and suggests that Mary Margaret let David remember who he
was.
James puts on his armor and goes to meet with King Midas. Midas assures him that if he
succeeds in killing the dragon, he’ll be a legend. The King’s knight comes over and makes sure
that James is properly armored. When James asks how he’ll fight the dragon, the aide reminds
him that he’ll stay outside while they go into the cave and kill the dragon. They hear the dragon
roaring in the mountains and go to fight it.
In the mountains, the knights find the devastation near the area. The king’s knight tells James
to remain outside with two men while they go into the cave. As they wait, James asks one of the
men if he knew his brother the Prince, and the knight admits that the Prince was the bravest
