Hooves stamp on the ground, sending dirt flying behind the two steeds that are speeding through the forest. One of the riders pulls on the reins and stops his white horse while the brown one takes a few steps more before it stops as well. "Why did you stop," the man on the brown horse asks to his friend on the white one.

"See the weather? That's a storm coming and it's a big one. During my time as a shepherd I had to predict when to get the sheep inside before a storm, and we need to find a place to stay soon," the man says to his companion. The man on the other horse sighs. "This will only delay my search for my sister, David."

David smiles at his friend and shrugs his armor clad shoulders. "We have no other choice, Philip. You can't find your sister when you're caught up in a storm." The man on the white horse sends his horse to stop beside that of the prince. "We need to find a safe place to stay until the storm dies down. It's not fair to our horses too, putting them through that."

Philip was maybe displeased with this stop, angry even, but he was not irrational. They couldn't continue, not while a storm was raging above their heads. His search for Winter had to be put on hold for now. They put their heels into the sides of their horses and the elegant animals step further, carrying the weight of their owners.

An hour or two later, when they had left the forest behind after three quarters of that time, they see a gigantic building on a hill in the middle of a town. It looks like a castle. The two men agree to stop there and ask for a place to stay for the storm. The two men race to the town and decide to immediately go for the palace.

There the two step off their horses, which were taken by the castle's stable boy. A servant asks them to follow him to the dining hall, where the 'royal family' was having dinner. Riding for so many days and only seeing forests, grass and hills you kind of forget that you cross country's as well. They didn't notice crossing a new realm.

The servant pushes the high, golden doors open and shows the men inside. "Your Majesties," the young man says and he catches the attention of the three people at the table. Two females and one male. Philip meets eyes with one of the females at the table: a beautiful girl with curly, brunette hair that wears a soft pink gown and a tiara in her hair. She smiles softly at him and blushes.

"And who may our new guests be, Martin," the male asks. A crown lays on his curly, brown hair with gray streaks of both stress and elder. He was dressed in royal blue with gold and looks the two males both up and down. The servant blushes when he realises that he hasn't asked their names.

"I am Prince Philip and this is my friend and companion, Prince James. We are on a search for my sister, Princess Winter. She's gone missing for many years." The older woman, also wearing a crown, sighs deeply with sadness displayed in her eyes. "I am so sorry for you." Philip bows for her. "Thank you, Your Grace. The fact is that a storm is coming and my companion suggested searching for shelter. We had hoped we would find it here."

The king looks at the other woman for guidance. She places her hand on his. "They need the shelter, Stephen, love. They are right that the storm is coming soon. Also, they might be great companions for our Aurora," she says, glancing over at her daughter, who was obviously blushing. The king sees her gaze on the brown haired prince and nods one time slowly, realizing what his wife was up to.

"Alright.. well, Prince Philip, Prince James, you are very welcome to stay here with me, my wife Briar Rose and our daughter Aurora in the palace until the storm calms down and you can continue your journey for the missing princess. Come, join us at our table. There is food enough for us all," King Stephen says, inviting them with a smile.

Regina lays a gorgeous red rose on her mother's tomb, crying softly to herself when she sees Rumplestiltskin coming near. She was against him being there, but he lays another red rose on the grave of her mother and explains how he will always have a place in his heart reserved for her mother. Regina was still angry with him.

"You may be able to hide behind your dagger, but she can't. She's going to die for what she did," Regina swears. Rumplestiltskin makes a fair point when he says that her quest for vengeance will never give her both the things she wants: revenge and Henry. He explains how he once taught her mother that you can't have everything, but the Evil Queen doesn't believe it. She will have both.. and will do everything it takes to get it. Even cast another curse, and a plan starts forming into her brain.

She didn't know that, back inside the condo of the Charmings, Snow White was already doing enough self-punishment. All she did was lay on the bed, but not for sleep. Just.. laying.. and supposedly thinking. David had just turned back from a try to get her to talk. Henry, who didn't know what had happened the day before as he was in Mr Gold's house with Ruby, asks his mother what was going on.

Emma, who didn't want to tell her son that his hero grandmother was responsible for murder, was about to lie again when Henry tells her that she promised never to lie again to him. Put under pressure by that statement, she obliges and tells him the truth. A knock of the door makes David walk away from the counter and opens it, leaving Henry confused as how a hero could do something like murder.

Before the door stands Mr Gold and he that Regina is planning something. When David tells him to say more, he simply says he doesn't know more. Unfortunately, David kindly reminds him that his wife has saved his life with this action and that he owes them a favor. He finds out, together with David, that Regina found one of her mother's curses back and that she was going to use it on Henry. He would love her and she will have to kill Snow White to execute it.

Emma tells him that this wasn't enough help, but Mr Gold kindly reminds him that it was enough to repay his debt. He tells them that the only way to stop a bloodfeud is by spilling more blood which is, in this case, Regina's. Henry obviously did not agree and leaves the place, followed by Emma. She comments that they need to keep him as far away as possible to which Mr Gold agreed once she left.

The mother and son go to Granny's diner, where they meet up with Henry's father. He even got a large sundae, which makes Henry wary. Just as he tells them, he notices when something is a bribe. Neal tells him his idea of taking him to New York, so that there is no magic around and Regina can't possibly enact the curse then. Henry suggests the idea to get rid of magic in Storybrooke so no one could hurt each other.

Emma talks to Greg Mendell, who has apparently left the hospital, and takes the coffee that Ruby has prepared back to the table. Once there, she sees Neal ready to to but no Henry. Quick enough, the two realize that he is running away from them.

In the apartment of the Charmings, Regina had arrived to take Mary Margaret's heart, but she was stopped by Gold. After giving her enemy once last threat, she leaves. In the forest Henry runs and literally bumps into Greg, who was supposedly 'admiring Maine's scenetic'. He didn't trust the guy, but had no time to stand still while the others have probably guessed where he's going to.

In the mines Ruby has caught a whiff of him, but she fears he might no longer be in the mines. They get an answer on the question 'why even go there in the first place' quick enough: the dwarves' dynamite. He will blow up the source of magic.. the wishing well.

Regina, who had been warned by the stranger of the town, was just on time to stop him from blowing everything up. The good guys catch up with them and Emma tells Regina to step away. The Evil Queen was about to throw a fireball and David about to shoot with his gun when Henry steps in between.

Henry begs his adoptive mother to help him destroy magic, to which she says she can't. What she did do, all in the name of her love for Henry, was burn the curse. David puts the safety back on the gun and they leave. Regina was once again alone.

Mr Gold leaves the Charming's house after teaching Mary Margaret a lesson and goes back to his house. It was so empty.. Without Belle to set tea and read books with him and talk with him.. Without Winter's youthfull bliss filling every room with a light he has never experienced before.

It was quiet, empty.. dark. He leaves the living room and goes upstairs. On a seat by Winter's bed he falls asleep, holding onto one of her pale, soft hands that once used to close around him in a hug. He misses her, he misses Belle. He missed the times of his return in the Dark Castle and having the two of them wait for him to come back and share their stories.

Oh God, he misses these females in his life..
