STORYBROOKE

The Snow Queen used her power to make an ice person.

---

At the sheriff station. Emma, Nevaeh and Elsa continued their researches on the Snow Queen.

"Somewhere in here, there's got to be something on her," Emma said.

"There has to be a better strategy," Elsa stated. "While we're reading files, my sister is out there somewhere. We have to confront this Snow Queen."

"Believe me, if I could, we would. We have to find her first. And, Elsa, we have to be careful. This woman is tricky. She seems to know both of us, and we don't remember anything about her. And something tells me that that is not an accident."

"You think she took our memories?"

"I'm really good with names and faces. It was my job. She took them, all right. The question is why. We need to find out what the hell she's up to."

Hook entered with another box, followed by Jefferson, and said, "Paperwork, ahoy! Old city records from the mayor's office, per your request."

"Oi!" Will exclaimed. "Somebody's forgotten about me dinner! I had the bangers and mash."

"You had the water and pop-tart," Emma told him.

"Somebody's already had a nibble."

"I've had my shots."

"What a relief. Now, I've served me time. So when will I be free?"

"When the sheriff says so," Nevaeh replied with a smirk.

"Well... Jefferson and I are off to take Henry, Grace and the twins sailing, love, unless there's something else you and Nevaeh want us to do here," Hook said.

"Make sure Henry the the Hatter kids wear their life vests, okay?" Emma said.

"Befriending the son to get in with the mum? Yep, no one will ever see through that," Will commented.

"Why don't you keep your thoughts to yourself... Mate," Hook suggested, kissing Emma on the cheek. "Goodbye."

Jefferson kissed Nevaeh on the cheek. "See you later, darling."

Hook and Jefferson left and Elsa found pictures.

"Emma, look. Why are there pictures of you mixed in with the city records?" Elsa wondered.

"Let's just say when Regina was mayor, she abused her power a bit," Emma replied. "She was looking for any reason to run me out of town. That's the first time Henry and I went for hot cocoa. When I walked them to school for the first time." Emma found a picture of the Snow Queen and her.

"Emma? What is it?"

"It's me and her."

"And you still don't remember any of this?" Jackie asked.

"No, but I know someone who may... The person who had the photos taken."

REGINA'S VAULT

"Please tell me you've found her," Regina said.

"And which "her" would that be?" Sidney asked. "Snow White? Maid Marian? Emma Swan? It's so hard to keep track of her majesty's nemeses."

"I'm not in the mood for games, Sidney. I need to know where the Snow Queen is hiding. If I can't unfreeze Marian myself, I'll force her to do it."

"Haven't come across the Snow Queen yet, sorry to say."

"Then you have a new task. Find that Snow Queen. Or you'll learn what sorry really feels like."

"Yes, your majesty."

---

Belle was holding Neal in her arms at the Charming family's loft and said, "Shh."

"See... Belle's a natural," David told his wife. "She's got all the emergency numbers. If anything happens, Neal will be okay."

"I'm not worried about emergency numbers, David," Mary Margaret replied. "I'm nervous about leaving him at all. Between the curse and the wicked witch, we don't exactly have the best track record with our babies."

"He is going to be fine. And we need this time away. You need it. Hey. So what do you say? You ready for our evening stroll?"

---

Emma drove her, Nevaeh and Elsa to the woods.

"You okay?" Elsa asked.

"It's just the pictures," Emma said. "Reminds me of when I first got here. Regina and I hated each other. Well, "hate" might be the wrong word, but we did not mix."

"But it seems like you've come a long way since then."

"Yeah, but it looks like we're right back at it. Just wish I could fix it. Coming?"

"I think this sound like something you two should talk about alone. You know, if things were getting better between you two before, maybe they can again."

"Doubt it. I screwed her over. Once you screw someone over, there's no getting them back."

"What makes you say that?"

"Experience."

HOPKINS, MINNESOTA - 1998

Emma was at a food store. A girl watched her and left. Emma stole food but got caught. The girl rescued her.

"Whoa. What you got there?" a woman asked.

"I've been looking all over for you," Lily said. "Just go with it. Thanks for hanging on to that till I got us a cart."

"You two girls are on your own?"

"My parents are outside in the car. They sent us to grab a few things."

"Okay."

"Thanks," Emma said. "That was about to get ugly."

"Yeah, no kidding," Lily agreed. "You know, the whole "stuffing things under your shirt" move never works. You need one of these. Lift some plastic, and you can buy whatever you want."

"I'll remember that next time."

"Wait! You're part of my cover now. So what do you say? You want to go shopping?"

Outside the store, Emma stated, "Wow. That actually worked."

"Hold onto your bag and run," Lily instructed.

"What? Why?"

"Trust me. Go! Go! Go!"

A man in a car followed Lily and called, "Hey!"

Emma and Lily ran to escape the car.

"Come on!" Emma yelled. "This way!" The girls hid and the car lost them. "I'm Emma, by the way."

"Lily," Lily said. "Thanks for the help."

"You had my back, and I got yours."

STORYBROOKE - REGINA'S VAULT

"Ms. Swan," Regina called. "What an unpleasant surprise. Unfortunately, I'm a little busy trying to save my true love's wife. Or hadn't you heard?"

"What do you know about these?" Emma asked.

"It appears you and the Snow Queen are old friends. Well, frenemies at best."

"I have zero memories of this conversation. I was hoping you might. Sidney took these when you had him spying on me. He didn't say anything about what was going on here? Or why I was arguing with the Snow Queen?"

"He never mentioned anything. My guess... You skipped the tip jar."

""I suppose I should talk to Sidney, then. But no one seems to know where he is. Have you seen him?"

"I've been busy working on Marian, on the problem you created."

"I guess I'll let you get back to it. Any progress on thawing her out?"

"It's no concern of yours."

"It could be. I know I'm not sorceress of the year, but if you want some extra juice to undo the spell, let me know."

"Are you offering to help me?"

"Despite everything, you've done a lot for me, Regina, so yeah. You've had my back, and I want you to know that I have yours."

"Ms. Swan, one thing's abundantly clear. You've never had my back. And you never will."

---

Elsa and Nevaeh were waiting for Emma in the car and the former heard Anna calling for her.

"Elsa," Anna called. "Elsa? Elsa, help!"

"Anna?" Elsa asked.

"Elsa. Help me."

Nevaeh frowned. "Elsa? What is it?"

---

Outside the vault, Emma noticed Elsa and Nevaeh were gone and said, "Elsa?! Nevaeh?! Elsa! Nevaeh!"

---

Regina was looking at a picture of Robin Hood and her. Sidney came back and informed, "My queen, I have news. I have found the Snow Queen's lair."

"Well, where is it?" Regina questioned.

"I think a little quid pro quo is in order, don't you? I'm growing tired of this glass prison."

"Let's see if your information yields results. Then we can discuss your freedom."

"You expect me to give up my leverage before I've received anything in return? Do you think me an imbecile?"

"I think I've trapped you in a mirror twice. And if you find them too constricting, well, then... Perhaps you'd like to return to your cell at the hospital."

"Upon further reflection, it appears I don't have the leverage I thought. Listen closely. I will lead you to her."

SHERIFF STATION

"And I need one of the good walkies, not one of the short-range things you let Henry play with," Mary Margaret said.

"It's a short hike to the bluffs," David told her. "We'll be gone less than an hour."

"With no cell reception! I want to be sure Belle can reach us."

"Or you're looking for a way out of this. We are going on this hike."

"Yes! And we shall be reachable."

"This will do it. I'll call Belle. Let her know where to find our walkie at home. Now she'll be able to reach us on our drive, our hike... If we fall through a portal to Asgard wherever we are."

"My hero."

"Hmm. Hang on."

"What is it?"

"You know that thief I told you about? The one who ran from the ice-cream shop?"

"Will Scarlet."

"Looks like he managed a jail break. Come on. Let's go."

"Wait. Oh, you mean right now?"

"Oh, come on. It'll be like old times. A prince and a princess on an adventure, but without the evil queen on our trail."

---

Regina was walking into the woods and said, "I'm walking due north. Now what?"

"Head past the toll bridge, then go east," Sidney told her. "The Snow Queen isn't far." Regina heard a noise; it was Emma.

"Regina," Emma called.

"What are you doing here?" Regina asked.

"Elsa disappeared on me. I think she went to go confront the Snow Queen on her own. Afraid she's in trouble. How about you? Nature walks your new thing?"

"I intend to force the Snow Queen's hand, make her reverse the damage she's inflicted on Marian."

"How do you even know where she is?"

"Explaining my magic to a beginner is a waste of my time. She's east of the toll bridge."

"Well, I think we should stick together, then. My best shot at finding Elsa is to go in the direction of the Snow Queen. You don't mind the company, do you?"

"Does it matter if I mind? If I say no, you'll just come anyway."

HOPKINS, MINNESOTA - 1998

Emma and Lily were sitting on grace in a park. They were eating.

"Mm!" Emma hummed.

"That sandwich isn't going anywhere, you know," Lily told her.

"Sorry. It's just that where I come from, if you don't eat fast, the big kids would swipe things off your plate."

"Was that around here?"

"Boston. Snuck out in the middle of the night and hopped a bus."

"Why did you leave?"

"This little girl from my home, Cecilia, got adopted. I watched her get in this station wagon with this perfect-looking couple. That's when I realized... No one was ever gonna look at me the way those parents looked at her. I'm too old. I missed my chance. There was no point in me staying another day if I was just gonna keep feeling..."

"Invisible? I know what it's like to live someplace where it feels like no one cares about you, let alone understands you."

"Were you in a home, too? That guy chasing you... Is he from social services? Is he trying to take you back?"

"Yeah."

"What are you gonna do?"

"See those houses over there? People use them in the summer. But now that it's fall, they'll be empty. I figured I'll pick the nicest one and I'll crash there for a while. Here's an idea. Come with me."

"Really?"

"Why not? We'd be better off if we stuck together."

STORYBROOKE

Elsa was running into the woods looking for her sister. Nevaeh was following her with a concerned expression.

"Anna!" Elsa called. "Anna!" Elsa arrived in a front of a cliff. Elsa saw her sister on the other side.

"Elsa!" Anna yelled.

"Don't move! I'll be right there!" Elsa used her powers to build a bridge.

"Help! Please!" Anna begged.

"Elsa!" Nevaeh called. "No, wait! Stop!"

---

David and Mary Margaret were walking near the beach.

"I should be home with Neal, not chasing after some thief," Mary Margaret said.

"Let's just give it a little while longer," David told her.

"We've been out for an hour! That's longer than I've been away from the baby since he was born. David, I think that's a pretty good start."

"All right, all right. You're right. You head home... And I'll deal with this." David left on his side.

Mary Margaret heard someone digging in the sand and said, "Oh, I'm probably wrong. Oh, no, I'm not." She went to see Will Scarlet.

---

Regina and Emma were walking into the woods.

"Which way?" Emma asked.

"Right," Regina replied.

"Is this a locator spell? Shouldn't we be following some, like, floaty object or something?"

"Oh, now you're a magic expert."

"No, it's just, in the past, there was a..."

"There are many enchantments you have yet to be exposed to. If you bothered to study your craft, you'd know that."

"I'm kind of learning as I go. It's not like there's a lot of online classes on this kind of thing. But when you helped me, I seemed to learn pretty fast."

"I don't have time for lessons."

"I know. I know you're busy. And so you know, I think it's admirable, what you're doing. Helping the wife of the man you love."

"So I've impressed you? Well it makes it all worthwhile then, doesn't it?"

"Why are you doing that? I was just trying to give you credit. I'm trying to be nice."

"And then what? Complimenting my outfits? Giving me a makeover? Braiding my hair? Calling Robin Hood and hanging up? You're trying to win me over so I can assuage your guilt intentionally or not, Ms. Swan, you brought Marian back. You ruined my life. And there is no coming back from that. Because I know you think you didn't mean to, but you hurt someone. So do as I do... Learn to live with it. Welcome to my world."

HOPKINS, MINNESOTA - 1998

Lily broke a window and opened a door. She and Emma entered.

"Not too shabby, huh?" Lily said.

As Lily and Emma played video games, the former exclaimed, "I'm gonna beat you!"

"No!" Emma cried. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"No! Game over."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Aw."

"Yes."

"Oh, I suck at this!"

"Haven't you ever played before?"

"No. I've never lived in a place that could afford one of these."

"You'll get the hang of it. You hungry?"

"Whoa. What happened?"

"Oh, I... I don't know. I've had this since I can remember. I like to pretend it's some kind of symbol, like Harry Potter or something."

"Like you're one-of-a-kind, like you're special."

"I know it's stupid."

"No, it's not."

"Okay." Lily drew a star on Emma's wrist. "Then you are special, too."

"Thanks. Hey! Check this out!" Emma took out a video camera.

"Let's promise to stay friends, okay? No matter what, there won't be anything we can't come back from."

"Okay. Yeah. Promise."

"For real?"

"For real."

STORYBROOKE

Elsa was still looking for her sister, followed by a concerned Nevaeh, and called, "Anna! Anna!"

"Anna!" Elsa yelled.

Elsa found Anna on snow and hugged her. "I was so worried I'd never find you."

"But I'm so glad you did," the Snow Queen said.

"You stay away from us. It's okay, Anna. I won't let her hurt you." The Snow Queen turned Anna into ice, then she disappeared and trapped Elsa and Nevaeh. "Where's Anna? What did you do?"

"I'm sorry for all the theater, but she was never really here, sweetheart. An icy illusion because... I needed you."

"For what?"

"Look at yourself. So much fear. Imagine what you could do if you only learned to control it. You had a chance to do so once, but... You squandered it. Fortunately for me, the more frightened you are, the stronger those chains will hold. And that's all I need for now... You out of my way. I would tell you that everything is going to be fine, that I won't hurt you, but your worry, your fear, are exactly what's needed right now."

"What are you gonna do?"

"I'm going to build a snowman."

Nevaeh glared at the Snow Queen. "Let me go."

---

Will dug on the beach and muttered, "Bollocks. Where the bloody hell is it?"

"Looking for something?" Mary Margaret asked.

"Not really your concern, is it, lady?"

"Maybe you should have made a map for whatever it is you're looking for."

"I did make a map, thank you very much."

"Did you lose it?"

"No, I didn't lose me map. It's in me traveling sack, safe and sound."

"But you're not "traveling" because you buried your sack and the map."

"Yes. Okay. I buried the map to find the sack in the sack I'm trying to find. I screwed up. Happens to the best of us."

"Not really."

"Well, it happens to the best of us when we have a touch too much to drink."

"That I buy."

"What's it to you, anyway? It's not like you're the sheriff."

"Oh, no, but... I am the sheriff's wife."

"You're married to the blonde?"

"That's my daughter. Other sheriff."

"What now?"

"You know, in your mug shot, you looked taller... And smarter."

"Did the sheriff's wife just call me short and dumb?"

"I mean, you're not even gonna try to run, are you?"

"No. Consider yourself lucky that I'm too knackered."

"You didn't break out of jail."

"I didn't?"

"My husband let you go. So I would have a little victory. Do a little tracking, put a criminal back behind bars, feel good about myself. I bet that you didn't even do anything very serious."

"I got drunk and broke into a library."

"Oh! A boozy bookworm! Oh, this is David. This is so David. Well... You can admit it. This whole thing is an elaborate hoax."

"What if I did admit it?"

"I'll pardon you."

"Right... so I'm supposed to believe that the sheriff's wife can give me my freedom."

"I'm also the mayor."

"He did it."

"I knew it!"

---

Emma and Regina found Elsa's ice bridge.

"Looks like Elsa was here," Emma said. "I'm hoping Nevaeh was with her."

"Thanks, Ms. Swan. Please continue to point out the obvious," Regina retorted.

"Then obviously we're not gonna step on it till we know it's safe."

"It's safe."

"Hey!"

"You were saying?"

"I don't know why I even bother."

"Well, that makes two of us. Now hurry up. I'd like to get to that snow queen before it's actually winter."

The wind blew and Emma said, "Something's not right."

"Maybe your sparkly, blue-dressed friend and the pirate are closer than you think."

"No. This is not Elsa." The wind blew stronger and stronger. The bridge shivered. "Oh! It's the Snow Queen! She found us!"

"Sidney."

"Sidney? What does Sidney have to do with any of this? Regina! Talk to me! What aren't you telling me?"

HOPKINS, MINNESOTA - 1998

Emma and Lily were sleeping. Emma heard a noise and woke up and Emma said, "Hey! Hey! Hey! There's someone in the house. We need to go."

"Lilith?" the man called.

Emma grabbed a candlestick. "Run. I got this. Stay away. You're not taking us anywhere. We're not going back into the system."

"Sweetheart, what nonsense you been telling this girl?"

"What's going on? Who is this? Lily?"

"Honey, tell her the truth. I'm your father. And you're coming home with me. Your mother is worried sick."

"Your father? You have a family? I thought you were like me."

STORYBROOKE - ICE BRIDGE

"You lied to me. You said you didn't have a clue where Sidney was!" Emma yelled. "He was in your mirror this whole time?!"

"Maybe I did," Regina said. "So what? I don't have to tell you everything I'm doing."

"Nor do I, your majesty," Sidney told her.

"You led us here. You're working for the Snow Queen?! Traitor!"

"I'm the traitor? I think your majesty should take a look in the mirror. And as you contemplate what you've done, know that she has a present for you that I'd say is well-deserved."

"Sidney!"

"Regina?" Emma called.

"Save your moral judgment."

"Look!" The ice bridge was collapsing. Emma and Regina ran to the other side. "Jump!"

Elsa tried to free herself and said, "I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid." She succeeded. She freed Jackie who was shivering.

WOODS

"You okay?" Emma asked. "Regina?"

"I think we have a bigger problem," Regina replied.

There was warrior snowman on its way to Elsa and Nevaeh.

HOPKINS, MINNESOTA - 1998

Emma was looking at the cops. Lily was in her father's car.

"Emma!" Lily called. "Emma. Emma. Don't worry about my dad. He's just pissed I used his visa. When this blows over, come find me. We can run away together."

"You tricked me," Emma said.

"I'm sorry. I know I lied about my family, but everything else I said is true. I hate my home. I feel invisible there. I'm just like you. I am! I was an orphan. It's just they adopted me. But it's not my home. You promised. Friends forever, no matter what." Emma left. She erased the star on her wrist. "Emma! Emma!" Emma got in the Social Service Worker's car.

STORYBROOKE

Emma and Regina were under attack. Emma went on her side and Regina attacked the snowman with a fireball, then Emma used her magic to pull it away. The arm of the snowman was destroyed but it returned.

"Oh, that's a problem," Emma said.

"Not helpful," Regina added.

"Try again... Together."

Regina and Emma combined their powers to destroy the snowman. They made it melt.

"I think we did it," Emma commented.

The Snow Queen appeared and said, "What a welcome visit, ladies. Thank you for bringing me what I needed." The Snow Queen stole Regina's mirror.

"Give me back my mirror, you..." Regina began.

"No." The Snow Queen strangled Regina.

"Hey, stop!" Emma ordered.

The Snow Queen strangle Emma. "Don't..."

Elsa rescued them and said, "You want a fight? Fight me."

"Well done, Elsa. You're losing your fear. There's hope for you yet."

"Let's just finish this now," Regina decided.

"No need. I have what I want." The Snow Queen disappeared.

"Are you both okay?" Elsa asked.

"We are now," Emma replied. "Thank you. Why didn't you tell me about Sidney? Where's Nevaeh?"

"Right here," Nevaeh replied, holding her jacket tightly around her.

"Because, despite what you wish, we're not partners," Regina told her. "I didn't ask you to tag along."

"Well, I did," Emma said. "And if you had told me, maybe you would have saved us some trouble."

"Okay, tell you what? That I threw Sidney in a mirror to help me kill Marian, but then I changed my mind? What's the point? You never would have believed me. I know you too well, Swan. Stop trying to get me to forgive you because it will never happen."

"Stop it," Elsa said. "You two need to mend your differences. Otherwise Storybrooke doesn't stand a chance."

"We never will. For one simple reason... I don't want to." Regina disappeared.

INT. SNOW QUEEN'S ICE CAVE

"You're free," the Snow Queen said. "As promised."

"Thank you," Sidney replied. "Now, what is it you wish me to do first, my queen?"

"I wish nothing from you."

"I don't understand. The deal was..."

"It wasn't you that I wanted, Sidney. It was the mirror itself. You more than anyone should understand a mirror's importance. Mirrors reflect our... Mood, our desire, our essence. They are a temporary receptacle for some... Tiny fraction of our soul."

"Well, you... You have other mirrors."

"I have many... Hundreds. But none as important as this one. For what I want to do, your former home should do quite nicely. The person who trapped you in here imbued it with much dark magic."

"My queen, what are you planning?"

"What I'm planning is to get what has been denied to me for too long... What I deserve."

"And what's that?"

"That's between me and... Well, my reflection. Enjoy your freedom, Sidney. A word of advice. Get a warm coat. It's going to get a bit cooler around here." Sidney left. The Snow Queen broke Regina's mirror. She made a big mirror appear. "So close. Soon I will have what I want." She put a piece of Regina's mirror on the breaking glass. The mirror was restored. "The Snow Queen: A family that loves me."

---

Emma, Nevaeh and Elsa were walking into the woods.

"I'm sorry I took off," Elsa apologized. "The Snow Queen tricked me. She made it seem like Anna was here. I thought I was chasing her. Nevaeh followed because she was concerned."

"I get it," Emma said. "I'd do the same thing."

"So why did you let Regina just walk away?"

"You heard her. She wants nothing to do with me."

"Maybe you shouldn't give up on her so soon," Jackie said.

"It's like I said, once you screw someone over, there's no going back."

Elsa glanced at Nevaeh, then to Emma. "I don't believe that. If there's one thing my sister taught me, you don't give up on people. If someone's important to you, don't give up on them. Even if they say hurtful things or send a giant snow monster to chase you away."

---

Emma joined Regina at her vault.

"What do I have to do to get you to leave me alone, Swan?" Regina asked. "Go away."

"I'm an idiot," Emma said.

"Finally, something we can agree on."

"I'm an idiot because I've been down this road before."

"Irritating me? Yes, you have."

"No, when I was a kid. Someone came into my life for a while, and I thought we were gonna be... Best friends. But this girl lied to me, and I pushed her away because of that lie, and she asked me to forgive her, but I never did. It took some time, but I realized that was a mistake. And I regretted the decision. But by then, it was too late. The damage was already done. I don't want to make the same mistake again, Regina. Living in Storybrooke, I've got my son and my parents, and I love them. But they can't always understand me. They don't know what it feels like to be rejected and misunderstood... Not the way I do, not the way you do. And somehow that makes us... I don't know... Unique, or maybe even special. I wasn't looking for you to assuage my guilt. I was just looking for you to be my friend."

"You thought we were friends?"

"Crazy, right? But I thought it could be, that it was possible. I'm not gonna stop trying. Even if you still want to kill me."

"Emma, wait. I don't want to kill you."

"See? That's a start."

---

Mary Margaret was lying on her bed she looked after Neal. David came back.

"Hey," David greeted.

Mary Margaret kissed David and said, "I love you."

"Oh, I love you, too. How's Neal? He survive an hour with Belle?"

"She was wonderful. Took great care of him. I caught the thief."

"What?"

"Will Scarlet. I tracked him down."

"That's amazing. W-well, where is he? Back in his cell?"

"Eh, I pardoned him."

"Wait. What?"

"It's okay. He admitted the whole thing. He told me about how you let him escape so I could track him."

"H-h-he told you that?"

"Don't be mad. He tried to keep your secret. But really, he's a terrible liar. Not to mention, I am familiar with your tricks. Your plan worked. I feel more like myself again. What's so funny?"

"Yeah, no, Mary Margaret. I couldn't be happier that you enjoyed yourself today, but I had nothing to do with it."

"No, of course you did. I mean, the way..."

"Mnh-mnh."

"He really did escape?"

"Yeah. And you really pardoned him."

"Well, what do we do now?"

"Uh, hope he doesn't pass out in another library? Look, if the outcome of his escape is that you found a part of yourself again... I'd say he earned that pardon." They kissed.

Emma was in her office. She looked sad as she took a box.
