Summary
“Can we talk?” Mary Margaret asks.
So she did notice, then, Emma looking hurt after the confession before she masked it. She wondered if Mary Margaret would even bring it up with her—this new baby that she wants—in the midst of her anger at David. Apparently, Emma had underestimated her.
It feels a lot like before. Like her friend Mary Margaret the teacher, before everything got so damn complicated.
(Emma and Mary Margaret, after the Echo Cave)

“You want to prove to yourself that you can be a good person,” she says. When he blinks at her, Emma can’t help but smile. “I’m not the only open book here.”

Summary
This is her downfall, once: being too trusting, naive despite the edges the foster system gave her, stolen watches and a disarming smile.
This could be her downfall, now: a climb up a beanstalk, a man she's impossibly willing to trust, a put upon smile that gets genuine when he calls her a “tough lass”.
To trust or not to trust. It used to be a no-brainer.

-

Summary
“Thank you for helping to save my daughter,” Zelena says. “Sorry you didn’t get your revenge at Gothel.”
The very thought makes him want to recoil.
“It was never about revenge,” he says, voice pained. “It was about finding a way for Alice to be with her father again. I haven’t been a man of revenge in many years.”
She meets his eyes, understanding in them. They’ve both strayed off the path of villainy for their daughters.
[Or: various conversations Hook has with his future in-laws.]

Summary
“I can help you,” says the demon he spent centuries trying to kill. “If you let me.”
That’s not even the strangest thing about this whole situation.
The strangest thing is, Killian believes him.

“I want to be pretty,” Alice says impatiently.
He grins. “You’re already the most beautiful in all the realms.”
“Papa,” Alice sighs.
He gives in, he always does, and starts braiding her hair.
[Or: Killian learns to braid hair when his own is long, and uses the skill later on both Milah and Alice.]

(Dead kids don’t have parents.)

Summary
“I know what I saw, baby. They’re ghosts.” Her father's face is white, like he is the ghost. “They’re in Julie’s band.”
“Even if that’s true,” Carrie says, which is a colossal if, “why would they be haunting you?”

Summary
Reggie grins. Unlike his hair, his teeth aren’t perfect. They’re slightly, endearingly crooked.

Summary
“I always expected it to just be there. All my flannel and country CD’s and worn text books for school, stored in my mess of a room. It’s gone. They’re gone.”
The wind picks up and disperses footprints left behind on the sand.
“It would’ve been nice to hug them and say goodbye, that’s all,” he finishes, avoiding her gaze.
(Or: Julie and the boys watch Home Alone and it leads to Reggie seeking out the truth of what happened to his parents.)

He transforms. He becomes. Until gullible, naive Danny Brooks is dead.
Confidence man.
Neal Caffrey.
(Or: Neal's life before, during, and after the anklet.)

Summary
“It wasn’t my decision, Cass, you know that!”
“Well, was it your decision to push her out a window?” Cassandra snarls at her, hateful and angry and wrong.
Rapunzel gasps, and even as she stammers how Cass wasn’t there, how she couldn’t possibly know what it was like, she hears the voice of the woman who is the cause of all of this misery in her head:
Stop taking everything so seriously!
In another life, she might have listened to it, might have given in to the dent ‘Mother’ left in her self-esteem after eighteen years of derogatory remarks.
In this life, Rapunzel refuses to succumb so easily.

“But you can get a second chance," Wolf says. "I’m sure Song and Lio will be a family with you again, if you want to.”
"You can get a second chance as well. With Kipo and her friends. Family is more than just those with whom we share blood.”
She smiles. The tune of Heroes on Fire hits her ears. They’ve arrived.
(Or: Wolf reflects on all the friends and family members she's gained.)
