Wearing an outfit similar to the one Snow wears during her dried up Lake Nostos Nostros Nosotros Nostrils wedding to Prince Charming, Regina visits the glass coffin in which she has stored Daniel's magically preserved body. We flash forward to...

Storybrooke. Present. Night. Still in Archie's office, Regina explains about preserving Daniel. He's dead, but frozen. She admits she keeps him in the family mausoleum. Archie tells her that as long as she refuses to let go of the past, it will continue to haunt her. Regina, who has had enough tea, sympathy, therapy and conscience, stomps out of Archie's office, scoffing at his promise that he can help. It's storming as she drives home. When lightning illuminates the Storybrooke streets, she sees Daniel. But in an instant, he is gone. Commercial.

Morning. Charming brings Henry to the Storybrooke stables. Yes, there are stables now. Both charming fellows miss the womenfolk, but soldier on, they must. Since the boy needs to learn to be a proper knight, he's got to start at the bottom -- mucking out stalls, grooming, and feeding the horses, twice a day. He doesn't even get to ride until the horse tells him he's ready, so I sure hope his horse is a relative of Mr. Ed. Anyhow, this is all about building trust between our wee knight and his noble steed. Charming leaves Henry, and says he'll pick him up, later. The kid asks his steed if he has anything to say for himself. I giggle despite myself, and we cut to the cemetery. Regina approaches the mausoleum.

He says the question is whether she's ready and asks why she's there. She says she's there for power, but he tells her to stop wasting his time. She's done her soul-searching. What's the skinny, Mini? Finally, she admits she wants to bring back the dead. Rumpy mocks her. Dead is dead, and transcending death is even beyond his reach. If that's true, Regina says she is lost. Rumpy snits that if so, she has wasted his time.
