says that Pinocchio will be the one who protects the child and help her fulfill her destiny. When
Pinocchio says that Gepetto told him to be honest, his father says that sometimes they must
lie to protect the ones they love. He tells Pinocchio to protect the child and make sure that in
twenty-eight years he makes the savior believe in her destiny. Pinocchio agrees and Jiminy tells
him that as long as he remains brave, truthful, and selfless then he won’t fail. As Pinocchio
enters the wardrobe, Gepetto tells his son that he will be a great man and that he’ll look upon
him with pride when they meet again. The carver closes the doors briefly and when he opens
them again, Pinocchio has disappeared.
That night, August takes Emma to a diner and she demands to know what he’s doing. He tells
her that she’s been there before and explains that when she was found as a baby, she was taken
to the diner. When Emma asks what it has to do with August’s story, August says that he was
the seven-year-old boy who found her.
Pinocchio finds himself in the real world by a tree and cowers in fear as a plane flies overhead.
When he tries to go back into the wardrobe, a force repels him back and knocks him
unconscious. When he wakes up, sees waves of energy spreading out from the tree and finds
Snow and Charming’s baby inside, crying.
August takes Emma to the forest where the tree is, and tries to explain that he lied about
where he found her. When Emma doesn’t believe him, August tells her about the blanket and
the note, things that nobody else would know. Emma asks why he lied and August says that he
did so to protect her. He shows her the tree and says that they both came into the world through
the tree. Emma realizes that he was the one who put the story in Henry’s book and asks how it
ends, and August tells her that it ends with her believing.
When she starts to walk away, August goes after her but collapses in pain. Emma asks is
what his wrong with his legs and August says that he failed. She thinks that he’s trying to make
her feel sorry for him, but August says that he’s sick. August says that he was on the island
of Phuket trying to lose himself in pleasure when Emma decided to stay in Storybrooke. That
was when he woke up with a shooting pain because time moved forward in Storybrooke. August
admits that he was supposed to be there for her and wasn’t because he had strayed. He then
pulls up his pant leg and shows her his wooden leg. However, Emma sees it as a normal human
leg and sees nothing unusual. August realizes that her denial is more powerful than he thought
and she doesn’t want to believe. He tells Emma that everyone in town needs her but Emma
doesn’t want the responsibility. August points out that she didn’t want Henry at first but now
she does, and Emma tells him that it’s all she can handle and she’s not doing a good job of that.
He tells Emma that none of that changes the truth and she’s their only hope. Emma tells him
that they’re screwed and walks away.
At a foster home, Pinocchio tries to comfort baby Emma and gets her to stop crying. When he
borrows some tools to fix Emma’s crib, the owner, Mr. Raskind, catches him at it and tells him
never to touch the tools again. Once Raskind leaves, one of the boys, Gordie, tells Pinocchio that
he’s stolen enough money to buy them all bus tickets. He asks Pinocchio if he wants to go but
warns that they can’t take Emma with him. After a moment, Pinocchio turns to Emma and says
goodbye.
August goes to Marco’s home and sees him working in the garage. He tells Marco how to fix
the clock, and Marco wonders how taught him that. August says that his father taught him but
admits that he didn’t become the man that his father wanted him to be. He explains that he made
a promise but by the time he got around to making good on it, it was too late. Marco says that
the important thing is that August made a mistake but tried to fix it, and says that if he had a
son that would be enough for him. After a moment, August asks if he would take on an assistant.
Marco warns that he can’t pay him and August says that he just feels like fixing things. Marco
ushers him in and has him start working Emma calls a sleeping Henry on his radio and says
that she needs to talk to him. She has Henry come downstairs and asks him if he wants to get
away from Regina. Henry says that he wants that more than anything and Emma starts up the
car and starts to drive out of Storybrooke.
