Storybrooke Common. Charming arrives on the chaotic scene. He finds Henry poring over his book, and asks where Blue is. They're interrupted by Red wondering where Rumpy is. Jiminy asks if Regina still has power, and Geppetto is looking for his son. Charming tries to hurry off, but he's stopped by Dr. Whale. "Let me ask you something. Are the nuns still nuns, or can they, you know... date?" Heh. Charming shakes all this off and calls out to Blue. He asks if there could be a tree on this side, considering how they sent Emma through as a baby. Blue says without fairy dust to guide them, finding such a thing would be hopeless. Henry reminds the adults that in the book everything looks worse just before it gets better. On cue, Grumpy leads his brothers to the center of action, shouting, "Terrible news! Terrible news!" Grumpy shows them that Sneezy now only thinks he's Tom Clark, town pharmacist. If you cross the town border, you lose all memory of your original life. Jiminy: "And coming back doesn't fix it?" Grumpy: "If it did, would I have come in yelling, 'Terrible news'? If we leave, our cursed selves become our only selves." As the crowd takes this in, we cut to commercial. I can't help but wonder -- if the curse is truly broken, then what magic is keeping them from returning to L'enchantement, and what's erasing their memories when they leave town?
