knows something. Her friend finally says that there is a man who is rumored to be able to do
exactly what Snow wants.
That night, Snow takes a boat out to an island. Rumplestiltskin is waiting for her, well aware
that she wants to make a deal. He asks what he can do for her and Snow says that she needs a
cure for a broken heart. Rumplestiltskin warns her that he can’t make the prince love her, but
he can help her to forget him. He fills a vial with lake water and then plucks a lock of her hair
and puts into the water, and assures Snow that she won’t remember the prince once she drinks
it, and the cure must be extreme. When Snow hesitates, Rumplestiltskin says that her lock of
hair will suffice, and she agrees to the deal.
Mary Margaret is at the store shopping in preparation for the coming storm when she bumps
into Kathryn and Regina. As she helps Kathryn pick up her supplies, she notices that she has a
pregnancy test and wishes her luck. Kathryn thanks her and walks away, and Regina tells Mary
Margaret to be discreet.
At the castle, King George comes to see James, still posing as Prince Charming, and notes
that he’s not attending the feast in his honor. He brings him the crown that King Midas has sent
as a gift and explains that their new prosperity will feed their kingdom.
James reminds him that gratitude wasn’t part of their deal and says that his heart belongs
to Abigail, but King George knows better and asks who the woman is that he really loves. James
says that he met the woman on a journey and King George tells him to forget her. When he says
that it was charity, James reminds him that it wasn’t charity but the king says to do what he
must because nothing will stop the wedding. Once the king leaves, James writes a message to
Snow and sends it by dove.
Mary Margaret is walking home through the forest when she hears a dove cooing. She goes
into the woods and finds the dove tangled in some fencing. Mary Margaret takes it to the animal
shelter and Dr. Thatcher says that it will recover, but that it has formed a bond with its flock.
If Mary Margaret doesn’t get it back to its flock, it will be alone forever. As she goes to find the
flock, Dave says that she shouldn’t go out in the storm. Mary Margaret says that no one deserves
to be alone and that she doesn’t need his help.
A nervous Regina comes to see Emma and ask her to find out more about the Stranger. The
mayor thinks there is something familiar about him and wants Emma to find out why he’s there.
When Emma objects, Regina says she’ll do it because it’s the right thing to do and because the
Stranger was taking an interest in Henry. Emma agrees to look into the situation.
Mary Margaret drives into the woods looking for the dove’s flock.
As Snow contemplates the vial, the dove arrives with the note from James. In it he says that
he hopes she’s found happiness, but that he hasn’t forgotten her and asks her to come to him if
she loves him.
Mary Margaret comes to a barricade across the road and proceeds on foot with the dove.
Snow sneaks into the castle, claiming to have flowers from Midas’ kingdom. Once inside,
she makes her way to James’ quarters. Before she can approach him, a guard finds her and
throws her into a dungeon cell, taking the note with him. Snow tries to find a way out without
success, and sees someone in the next cell. It’s a dwarf, Grumpy, who warns her that there’s no
escape. She refuses to yield, saying that there’s someone out there that she loves. Grumpy isn’t
impressed and says that he’s imprisoned because he loved a beautiful woman and lost her. He
was desperate to get her back so traded his wages to a diamond mine foreman who sold him a
stolen rock. Grumpy took the blame and now he’s trapped. A dwarf outside speaks up, dressed
in black, and introduces himself as Stealthy.
Stealthy says that Doc whipped up a sleeping potion to knock out the guards. As Stealthy
takes Grumpy away, Snow wishes him luck and Grumpy reluctantly releases her.
Mary Margaret hears the flock but discovers that they’re on the other side of a gorge. As she
tries to find a way across, she slips and falls partway down the cliff, before grabbing a root.
As Mary Margaret starts to fall, Dave arrives and pulls her to safety. He assures her that she
wouldn’t let her go on her own and they have to go. Mary Margaret refuses to leave and goes to
get the dove as the storm begins.
Stealthy leads Grumpy and Snow out and she insists that they need to go out over the walls.
The dwarves believe the courtyard is safer and go off on their own. As they cross, King George
and his guards arrive and shoot Stealthy when he tries to escape. Grumpy refuse to tell the king
where Snow is and he orders the dwarf’s death. Snow arrives, threatening to set the courtyard
