EVEN THROUGH THE DARKNESS
WE WILL MAKE OUR WAY TO FIND
OUR ONCE UPON A TIME
REGINA
THERE’S A STORY
OF A LIFE THAT WAS CHANGED BY A CHILD

EMMA
MY ONCE UPON A TIME
(Blackout.)
SCENE #1 - THE ENCHANTED FOREST
(PRINCE CHARMING runs on stage to SNOW WHITE lying in her coffin. The
DWARFS are gathered around the coffin.)
PRINCE CHARMING
Am I too late?
GRUMPY
I’m afraid so…
PRINCE CHARMING
At least let me try!
GRUMPY
I’ve already told you, it's too late!
PRINCE CHARMING
Please, let me try.
(The DWARFS work with PRINCE CHARMING to take off the top of SNOW
WHITE'S coffin. The DWARFS exit. PRINCE CHARMING kisses SNOW WHITE. SNOW
WHITE exhales a lot of air. PRINCE CHARMING and SNOW WHITE look at each other
and kiss again.)
SNOW WHITE
You found me.
PRINCE CHARMING
I will always find you.
SNOW WHITE
What of the queen?
PRINCE CHARMING
That doesn’t matter right now.
- 10 - Once Upon A Time The Musical
(PRINCE CHARMING kisses SNOW WHITE on the cheek.)
PRINCE CHARMING (CON’T)

There’s been something I’ve wanted to ask, and I have to ask you now before anything else
happens.
SNOW WHITE
What is it?
(PRINCE CHARMING gets on one knee and proposes to SNOW WHITE.)
PRINCE CHARMING
Snow, will you marry me?
SNOW WHITE
Of course!
SCENE #2 - ROYAL CASTLE

BISHOP
And Snow White, do you take this man to be your husband and love him for all eternity?
SNOW WHITE
I do.
BISHOP
Then I gladly pronounce you husband and wife.
(Everyone starts to clap. SNOW WHITE and PRINCE CHARMING start to kiss each
other when suddenly the doors fly open, revealing the EVIL QUEEN.)
EVIL QUEEN
Sorry I’m late.
(The EVIL QUEEN begins to walk toward SNOW WHITE and PRINCE
CHARMING.)
GRUMPY
It’s the queen! Run!
(SNOW WHITE grabs PRINCE CHARMING'S sword, pointing it towards the EVIL
QUEEN.)
SNOW WHITE
She’s not a queen anymore. She is nothing more than an evil witch!
PRINCE CHARMING
You’re wasting your time. You’ve already lost! And I will not let you ruin this wedding.
EVIL QUEEN
Oh, I didn’t come here to ruin anything. I’ve only come to give you a gift.
SNOW WHITE
We want absolutely nothing from you!
EVIL QUEEN
But you shall have it, no matter what you do. My gift to you is this happy, wonderful,
precious day. But tomorrow, my real work will begin. Soon, everything you love, everything
all of you love, will be taken from you, forever! I shall destroy your happiness, if it is the last
thing that I do!
PRINCE CHARMING
Hey!
(The EVIL QUEEN turns back as PRINCE CHARMING tries to throw a sword at the
EVIL QUEEN, but SNOW WHITE stops him. The EVIL QUEEN walks off with an evil
laugh.)
SCENE #3 - BEDROOM
PRINCE CHARMING
Snow, what’s wrong.
SNOW WHITE
Nothing.
PRINCE CHARMING
Come on. I know that look. Is this about what Regina said? If so, you have to let it go! Think
about something else. I mean, we’re about to have a baby, think about that. Think of how
happy that’ll make you.
SNOW WHITE
I haven’t had a restful night ever since that day. I mean, she poisoned an apple just because
she thought I was prettier than her! I have a terrible feeling that whatever she is planning is
way worse. We have no clue what she is capable of! She said that she will take away
everything we love. She is going to take away my baby!
(SNOW WHITE sits down and starts crying.)

SNOW WHITE (CON’T)

Let me talk to him.
PRINCE CHARMING
Wait, you don’t really mean him. Do you?
SNOW WHITE
Yes! Let me talk to him. He can see the future!
PRINCE CHARMING
No, no. It’s too dangerous.
SNOW WHITE
Well, can you promise that our child will be safe! Can you guarantee it? Can you? He can.
PRINCE CHARMING
All right! Fine! For our child.
SNOW WHITE
Thank you.
SCENE #4 - RUMPELSTILTSKIN'S CELL
GUARD
Remember, when we reach his cell, try to stay out of the light and whatever you do, do not
tell him your name.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN
Hello, Snow White and Prince Charming! Step into the light and take off those ridiculous
robes. Ah, that’s better. Now, I know what you want. But I will only tell you for a price.
SNOW WHITE
What do you want?
RUMPELSTILTSKIN
The name of your unborn child.
PRINCE CHARMING
Absolutely not!
SNOW WHITE
Deal! Tell us what you know.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN
Ah. The Queen has created a powerful curse. And it's coming. Soon you'll all be in a prison,
just like me, only worse! Your prison--all of our prisons—will be time. And time will stop.
And we will be trapped, someplace horrible, where everything we hold dear, everything we
RUMPELSTILTSKIN (CON’T)
love will be ripped from us while we suffer for all eternity, while the Queen celebrates,
victorious at last! ...No more happy endings.
SNOW WHITE
What can we do?
RUMPELSTILTSKIN
We can't do anything!
SNOW WHITE
Who can?
RUMPELSTILTSKIN
(Reaches hand beyond bars)
That little thing. Growing inside your belly.
PRINCE CHARMING
(Draws sword and slaps Rumplestiltskin's hand with it)
Next time, I cut it off.

RUMPELSTILTSKIN
Your child is the product of true love. Your child is your only chance. On their 28th birthday,
they will return, they will find you. That is when the battle will begin.
PRINCE CHARMING
Okay. We’re done. Let’s go.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN
Wait! We made a deal! What is your child’s name? What’s her name! I need her name!
PRINCE CHARMING
Her? It’s a boy.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN
It’s a her, you know I’m right. Tell me, what’s her name?
SNOW WHITE
Emma. Her name is Emma.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN
Emma.
(SNOW WHITE and PRINCE CHARMING walk away with the GUARD.)
SCENE #5 - ROYAL CASTLE

PRINCE CHARMING
I say we fight!
GRUMPY
Yeah!
SNOW WHITE
I don’t think that’s a good idea.
GRUMPY
But we need to take the Queen out before she can conflict the curse.
PRINCE CHARMING
That’s the thing. I’ve sent men out into the forest to get some information. And when they
came back, they told me that this curse is happening no matter what we do.
BLUE FAIRY
That isn’t true. There is only one thing that we can do.
GRUMPY
Well, what is it?
BLUE FAIRY
Snow White, you told me Rumpelstiltskin said that your child would save us, right?
SNOW WHITE
Yes. That is true.
BLUE FAIRY
Well, there’s this tree and-
GRUMPY
A tree? Our fate rests on a tree? Let’s get back to the fighting thing.
BLUE FAIRY
But wait! There’s more. This tree is enchanted. If fashioned into a vessel it can ward off any
curse, even the queen's curse. Geppetto, can you build such a thing?
GEPPETTO
Of course. My boy and I will do it. We’ll start right now.
(GEPPETTO ruffles PINNOCHIO’S hair then picks him up and exits. The BLUE
FAIRY sighs with relief.)
BLUE FAIRY
This will work. We must have faith, everyone. But, there is a catch. This enchanted tree can
only take one.
PRINCE CHARMING
It has to be Snow!
SNOW WHITE
No! I can’t do it! I won’t leave you!
PRINCE CHARMING
Snow! It’s the only way! Once you go in there, you’ll be safe.
SNOW WHITE
But we’ll be apart for twenty eight years!
PRINCE CHARMING
What’s twenty eight years when you have eternal love? Trust me, Snow. I have faith, you will
save me as I saved you.
(They kiss, but SNOW WHITE backs away with a look of fear.)

Snow, what is it?
SNOW WHITE
The baby, it’s coming.
GRUMPY
(Shouting)
The baby! It’s here! Everyone, get out!
(Everyone walks off stage. As GRUMPY exits, he notices a big, purple cloud.)
GRUMPY (CON’T)
The curse.
SNOW WHITE
Oh, no.
(The stage flashes with purple, white, and black. Offstage, SNOW WHITE screams in
pain. Then there are cries from a newborn baby. The CHARMING’S walk on with baby
EMMA.)
SNOW WHITE
She’s beautiful.
PRINCE CHARMING
Hello, Emma.
(Quickly, SNOW WHITE looks at PRINCE CHARMING with fear.)

What is it?
SNOW WHITE
The tree…
PRINCE CHARMING
It only takes one person.
SNOW WHITE
We can’t just send her alone!
PRINCE CHARMING
I’m afraid that’s what we’ll have to do. We have to give her her best chance!
SNOW WHITE
Yeah. It’s what’s best for her. For all of us.
PRINCE CHARMING
I’ll take her. Geppetto and Pinnochio should be done by now.
SNOW WHITE
Okay. Goodbye, Emma. I love you.
(PRINCE CHARMING takes EMMA out of SNOW WHITE’S arms and runs off stage.
SNOW WHITE slowly crumbles to the ground, crying.)
SCENE #6 - ROYAL CASTLE ROOM
PRINCE CHARMING
Here it is.
(PRINCE CHARMING gently places baby EMMA in the tree. He is disturbed by the
queen’s guard, the BLACK KNIGHT. PRINCE CHARMING and the queen’s guard fight. The
guard end’s up stabbing PRINCE CHARMING in the stomach. The guard walks away and
SNOW WHITE stumbles in.)
SNOW WHITE
Charming! No!
PRINCE CHARMING
Snow. I love you.
SNOW WHITE
I love you, too.
EVIL QUEEN
Aw. Isn’t this so sad?
SNOW WHITE
Maybe this will work.
(SNOW WHITE tries to kiss PRINCE CHARMING, but it doesn’t work.)
SNOW WHITE (CON’T)

No.
2. LOVE DOESN’T STAND A CHANCE
EVIL QUEEN
(Mockingly)
So, the Charmings think their love is strong enough to defeat me?
WELL, THERE’S ONE THING THEY DON’T KNOW

MIRROR MIRROR, COULD NOT BE CLEARER
THAT LOVE IS A WASTE OF TIME
I’M HERE TO TELL YOU WITH LOVE’S MAGIC SPELL
YOU CANNOT MATCH THE POWER OF MINE
ONCE I LOVED AND ONCE I LEARNED

LOVE IS WEAKNESS
LOVE WILL LEAVE YOU BURNED
DOWN WITH LOVE, DOWN WITH HOPE

DON’T NEED BLIND FAITH TO COPE
EVIL QUEEN (CON’T)

OR INSPIRING SONGS IN MY HEART
GO THE MAGIC I NEED
FOR MY DARKEST OF DEEDS
LOVE AT TIMES CAN ENTRANCE
BUT LOVE DOESN’T STAND A CHANCE
LOVE DOESN’T STAND A CHANCE
MIRROR MIRROR, THE TIME DRAWS NEARER

FOR THE CURSE TO TAKE ALL OF US
THOSE HAPPY FEELINGS
THAT SEND THEM REELING
WILL SOON BECOME THE REVERSE


GO THE MAGIC I NEED
STOLE MY SHOT AT ONE TRUE LOVE

THAT’S WHAT SHE DID TO ME
NOW YOU LITTLE PRINCESS WILL WISH
YOU NEVER EVER KNEW ME
DOWN WITH LOVE, DOWN WITH DREAMS

DOWN WITH GOODNESS’S SCHEMES
GONNA RIP THE SONG RIGHT FROM THEIR HEARTS
GOT THE MAGIC I NEED
WATCH MY CURSE KILL ROMANCE

SO LOVE DOESN’T STAND A CHANCE
EVIL QUEEN (CON’T)

NO, NO
SNOW WHITE
No! No! You! You did this! This curse was all you!
EVIL QUEEN
Guilty.
SNOW WHITE
You killed my husband!
EVIL QUEEN
Oh, no. This was my guard. I just simply cast this curse.
SNOW WHITE
You won’t win!
EVIL QUEEN
I already have!
SNOW WHITE
Where are we going?
EVIL QUEEN
A place where the only happy ending will be mine!
(The purple cloud comes and takes the EVIL QUEEN and SNOW WHITE. Blackout.)
SCENE #7 - EMMA’S APARTMENT
(EMMA stands at her kitchen counter with a cupcake and a candle to celebrate her
28 birthday. She blows out the candle and hears a knock on the door. When she opens the
th
door, she sees HENRY.)

HENRY
Are you Emma Swan?
EMMA
Yeah. Who are you?
HENRY
My name is Henry. And I’m your son.
(HENRY slips under EMMA’S arm, entering her apartment.)

EMMA
Woah, kid! I don’t have a son! Where are your parents?
3. EMMA’S THEME (UNDERSCORE)
HENRY
Ten years ago, did you give up a baby for adoption? That was me.
EMMA
Give me a minute.
(EMMA walks to a corner, catching her breath.)
HENRY
You know, we should get going.
EMMA
Going where?
HENRY
Going home.
EMMA
Okay, I’m calling the cops.
HENRY
I’ll just tell them you kidnapped me.
EMMA
And they'll believe you because I’m your birth mother.
HENRY
Yep.
EMMA
You’re not gonna do that.
HENRY
Try me.
EMMA
You're pretty good, but here's the thing. There's not a lot I'm great at in life, but I have one
skill. It's called a "superpower." I can tell when anyone is lying, and you, kid, are.
HENRY
Wait. Please don't call the cops. Please come home with me.
EMMA
Where's home?
HENRY
Storybrooke, Maine.
EMMA
Storybrooke? Seriously?
HENRY
(Nods)
Mm-hmm.
EMMA
Alrighty, then. Let's get you back to Storybrooke.
(As EMMA and HENRY walk out, HENRY drops his book.)
EMMA (CON’T)
What’s that, kid?
HENRY
I have a name, you know. It’s Henry. And this, I’m not sure you’re ready yet.
EMMA
Oh, are they just fairy tales?
HENRY
They’re more than just fairy tales. They’re true. Every story that happened in this book is
true.
EMMA
Of course they did.
HENRY
Use your super power. See if I’m lying.
(EMMA looks at HENRY for a moment.)
EMMA
Okay, just because you believe something, doesn’t make it true.
HENRY
That’s exactly what makes it true. You should know more than anyone.
EMMA
And why is that?
HENRY
Because you’re in this book.
EMMA
Okay, kid. You’ve got problems.
HENRY
Yep! And you’re gonna fix them.
EMMA
Okay… On a totally different note, what’s your address?
(EMMA and HENRY hop into EMMA’s 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle.)
SCENE #8 - STORYBROOKE
HENRY
My address?
EMMA
Yep.
HENRY
Okay. Forty-four, not-tellin’-ya street.
EMMA
Look, it's been a long night and it is…
(EMMA looks at the clock tower.)
… eight fifteen?
HENRY
That clock hasn’t moved my whole, entire life. Time’s frozen here. The same thing happens
pretty much every single day.
EMMA
Excuse me?
HENRY
The Evil Queen did it with her curse. She sent everyone from the Enchanted Forest here.
EMMA
Hang on. The Evil Queen sent a bunch of fairytale characters here.
HENRY
Yeah. And now they're trapped.
EMMA
Frozen in time, stuck in Storybrooke, Maine. That's what you're going with?
HENRY
It's true! And I can-
EMMA
Then why doesn't everybody just leave?
HENRY
They can't. If they try, bad things happen.
MARY MARGARET
Oh, hi Henry! What are you doing out here? And who’s this?
HENRY
This is my mom.
MARY MARGARET
Oh. Okay.
EMMA
Hey, do you know where he lives?
MARY MARGARET
Oh. Yeah, sure, just uh, right up on Mifflin Street; the Mayor's house is the biggest one on the
block.
EMMA
Wait! You’re the mayor’s kid?
MARY MARGARET
Oh, well, I should be going.
HENRY
Yes, but she’s the Evil Queen.
EMMA
Oh, the Evil Queen…
HENRY
Yep.
SCENE #9 - REGINA’S HOUSE

EMMA
Okay, well, here’s your house. Now go, kid.
HENRY
No! Please don’t take me back here.
EMMA
I’m sure your mother is worried sick.
HENRY
She doesn’t care! She hates me! She doesn’t love me. She only pretends to.
REGINA
Henry! Oh! I’ve missed you so much! Where have you been?
HENRY
I found my real mom.
REGINA
You’re Henry’s birth mother?
EMMA
Hi.
(REGINA walks up to the car to talk to EMMA through the window.)
EMMA
How’d he find me?
REGINA
No idea. When I adopted him, he was only three weeks old. Records were sealed, I was told
the birth mother didn't want to have any contact.
EMMA
You were told right.
REGINA
And the father?
EMMA
There was one.
REGINA
Do I need to be worried about him?
EMMA
Nope. Doesn't even know.
REGINA
Do I need to be worried about you, Miss Swan?
EMMA
Absolutely not.
REGINA
I'm sorry he dragged you out of your life. I really don't know what's gotten into him.
EMMA
Kid's having a rough time. Happens.
REGINA
You have to understand, ever since I became mayor, balancing things has been tricky. You
have a job, I assume?
EMMA
Uh, I keep busy. Yeah.
REGINA
Imagine having another one on top of it. That's being a single mom. So I push forward. Am I
strict? I suppose. But I do it for his own good. I want Henry to excel in life. I don't think that
makes me evil, do you?
EMMA
I'm--sure he's just saying that because of the fairytale thing.
REGINA
What fairytale thing?
EMMA
Oh, you know, his book. How he thinks everyone's a cartoon character from it.
REGINA
I'm sorry, I--really have no idea what you're talking about.
EMMA
You know what, it's none of my business. He's your kid. And I really should be heading back.
REGINA
Of course.
(EMMA leaves, and turns around briefly to find HENRY watching her from an
upstairs window. As EMMA drives away, she notices HENRY’S book.)
EMMA
Sneaky kid.
(Suddenly, EMMA takes a quick turn and runs into a pole. Blackout.)
SCENE #10 - SHERIFF’S OFFICE
(EMMA, lying on a cot, opens her eyes. LEROY is in the cell next to her, softly
whistling “Whistle While You Work,” and MARCO stands outside, repairing a cabinet.)
MARCO
So you are eh, Henry's mother. How lovely for him to have you back in his life.
EMMA
Actually, I was just dropping him off.
LEROY
Tkh. Don't blame ya. They're all brats; who needs 'em.
MARCO
Well, I'd give anything for one. My wife and I, we tried for many years, but, uh... it was not
meant to be.
LEROY
Well cry me a river.
(ROBIN HOOD is entering and unlocking LEROY’S cell.)
ROBIN
Leroy! I'm going to let you out; you need to behave. Put on a smile, and stay out of trouble.
(LEROY smiles falsely, then exits.)
EMMA
Seriously?
ROBIN
Your drinks; a little stronger than you thought.
EMMA
What? My drinks? I didn’t drink at all last night.
ROBIN
Okay.
EMMA
I swear. I was just driving back home and something made me turn very quickly and I ran
into a pole.
(ROBIN HOOD is on the phone with REGINA. After talking with REGINA, he hangs
up and puts the phone down.)
ROBIN
Henry. He’s gone missing, again. Do you know where he is?
EMMA
No. I haven’t seen him since last night, and–
(Indicates prison bars)

EMMA (CON’T)
—pretty good alibi.
ROBIN
Yeah, well, Regina says that he wasn't in his room this morning.
EMMA
Did you try his friends?
ROBIN
Well, from what I know, he doesn't really have any. Kind of a loner.
EMMA
Every kid has friends. Check his computer? If he was close to someone he'd be emailing
them.
ROBIN
And you know this, how?
EMMA
Finding people's what I do. Here's an idea; how 'bout you let me out, and I'll help you find
him.
ROBIN
Sure.
SCENE #11 - HENRY’S ROOM

ROBIN
Hello, Regina.
REGINA
Hi- wait! What is she doing here?
ROBIN
She thinks that she can find Henry.
EMMA
And I can find him.
(EMMA gets on HENRY’S computer and looks at his inbox.)
EMMA (CON’T)
Smart kid. Cleared his inbox. I'm smart too, a little hard disk recovery utility I like to use.
ROBIN
I'm a bit more old-fashioned, in my techniques. Pounding the pavement, knocking on doors,
that sort of thing.
EMMA
You're on salary; I get paid for delivery. Pounding pavement is not a luxury that I get. Ah,
there's a receipt for a website, whosyourmomma.org—it's expensive. He has a credit card?
REGINA
He's ten.
EMMA
Well, he used one. Let's pull up a transaction record. Mary Margaret Blanchard, who's Mary
Margaret Blanchard?
REGINA
Henry's teacher.
EMMA
Let’s find her.
REGINA
Well, school’s almost out for the day.
EMMA
Then let’s go right now.
SCENE #12 - STORYBROOKE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
REGINA
Where's my son?
MARY MARGARET
Henry.. I assumed he was home with you.
REGINA
You think I'd be here if he was? Did you give him your credit card so he can find her?
(She gestures toward EMMA, standing just inside the doorway.)
MARY MARGARET
(To EMMA)
Oh, Emma! You’re-

REGINA
-the woman who gave him up for adoption. Wait, you know her?
EMMA
We saw each other last night. So, you don't know anything about this, do you?
MARY MARGARET
No, unfortunately not.
(Searches for credit card.)
Clever boy. I should never have given him that book.
REGINA
What in the world is this book I keep hearing about?
MARY MARGARET
Just some old stories I gave him. As you well know, Henry is a special boy: so smart, so
creative, and as you might be aware, lonely. He needed it.
REGINA
What he needs is a dose of reality! This is a waste of time. Have a nice trip back to Boston.
(She walks out in a huff, knocking over a stack of books on the way. EMMA helps
MARY MARGARET pick them up)
EMMA
Sorry to bother you.
MARY MARGARET
No, it's--it's okay, I fear this is partially my fault.
EMMA
How's a book supposed to help?
MARY MARGARET
What do you think stories are for? These stories? The classics? There's a reason we all know
them. They're a way for us to deal with our world. A world that doesn't always make sense.
See, Henry hasn't had the easiest life.
EMMA
Yeah, from what I know, Regina probably isn’t the easiest.
MARY MARGARET
No, it's more than her. He's like any adopted child. He wrestles with that most basic question
they all inevitably face: why would anyone give me away?
(Realizing what she's said)
I am so sorry. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean in any way to judge you...

EMMA
It's okay. I completely understand.
MARY MARGARET
Look, I gave the book to him because I wanted Henry to have the most important thing
anyone can have; hope. Believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a very powerful
thing.
EMMA
You know where he is, don't you.
MARY MARGARET
Well, I never said that-
EMMA
Tell me.
MARY MARGARET
You might want to check his castle.
EMMA
Okay, thank you.
(EMMA starts to walk away, but stops and turns back around.)
EMMA (CON’T)
Where is his castle?
MARY MARGARET
Yeah, I thought you were gonna ask that.
(EMMA and MARY MARGARET laugh.)
SCENE #13 - HENRY’S CASTLE

EMMA
You left this in my car.
(EMMA gives HENRY the book.)
Still hasn't moved, huh?

HENRY
I was hoping that when I brought you back, things would change here. That the final battle
will begin.
(EMMA is unconvinced.)
HENRY (CON’T)
Look, you're here because it's your destiny. You're going to bring back the happy endings.
EMMA
Can you cut it with the book crap?
HENRY
You don't have to be hostile. I know you like me, I can tell. You're just—pushing me away
because I make you feel guilty. It's okay; I know why you gave me away. You wanted to give
me my best chance.
EMMA
(Pause)
How do you know that?

HENRY
The same reason Snow White gave you away. Come on, there has to be something that
makes you believe a tiny bit. Something different, something you feel inside or… Please. Just
think really hard, for me.
4. ONCE UPON A TIME (REPRISE)
EMMA
THERE’S THIS FEELING
THAT I’VE HAD SINCE BEFORE I REMEMBER
A MEMORY THAT GLOWS LIKE AN EMBER
OF A PLACE OR A TIME AND A HOME
I ALMOST SEE IT SO CLOSE THAT I COULD BE IT
HENRY
This is great! Keep going!
EMMA
I don’t know, kid.
HENRY
Please.
EMMA
IT CALLS TO ME
SOMETHING FROM MY PAST
SOMETHING MISSING
LIKE A PURPOSE AT LAST
EMMA (CON’T)
IT'S A HOPE INSIDE
EVEN THOUGH I’VE TRIED TO RUN AWAY FROM IT
THERE’S NOWHERE TO HIDE
(EMMA takes a deep breath.)
EMMA (CON’T)
Listen to me, kid. I am not in any book. I'm a real person. And I'm no savior. You were right
about one thing, though. I wanted you to have your best chance. But it's not with me. C'mon,
let's go.
HENRY
Please don't take me back there! Just stay with me for one week, that's all I ask! One week,
and you'll see I'm not crazy. You’ll see that I’m telling the truth. But please, don’t take me
back to my mom right now. You don't know what it's like with her. My life sucks!
EMMA
Oh, you wanna know what sucking is? Being left abandoned on the side of a freeway; my
parents didn't even bother to drop me off at a hospital!
(Begins to break down)
I ended up in a foster system and I had a family until I was three, but then they had their
own kid so they sent me back...
EMMA (CON’T)
(Stops, collects self.)
Look. Your mom is trying her best. I know it's hard. And I know sometimes you think she
doesn't love you. But at least she wants you.
HENRY
Your parents didn't leave you on the side of the freeway; that's just where you came through!
EMMA
What?
HENRY
The wardrobe. When you went through the wardrobe you appeared on the side of the street.
Your parents were trying to save you from the curse.
EMMA
Sure they were. C'mon, Henry.
(He takes her hand and they walk off)
(HENRY walks over, past REGINA and starts to read his book. REGINA walks up to
EMMA.)
REGINA
Thank you.
EMMA
No problem.
REGINA
He seems to have taken quite a shine to you.
EMMA
You know it seems kind of crazy. Yesterday was my birthday. And—when I blew out the
candle on this cupcake I bought myself, I actually made a wish. That I didn't have to be alone
on my birthday. And then Henry showed up..
REGINA
(Interrupting)
I hope there's no misunderstanding here.
EMMA
I'm sorry?
REGINA
Don't mistake all of this as an invitation back into his life.
EMMA
Oh…
REGINA
Miss Swan, you made a decision ten years ago. And in the last decade, while you've
been—well, who knows what you've been doing—I've changed every diaper, soothed every
fever, endured every tantrum. You may have given birth to him, but he is my son.
EMMA
I was not--
REGINA
No. You don't get to speak—you don't get to do anything. You gave up that right when you
tossed him away. Do you know what a closed adoption is? It's what you asked for. You have
no legal right to Henry, and you're gonna be held to that. So I suggest you get in your car, and
you leave this town. Because if you don't, I will destroy you if it is the last thing I do.
Goodbye, Miss Swan.
(Begins to leave.)
EMMA
Do you love him?
REGINA
Excuse me?
EMMA
Henry. Do you love him?
REGINA
Of course I love him.
(Emma is visibly troubled and walks away. REGINA walks to HENRY and takes his
book from him. REGINA starts looking through the book. On the other side of the stage,
EMMA bumps into MR. GOLD.)
MR. GOLD
Oh, I’m sorry, dearie.
EMMA
Oh, it was my mistake. Hey, by the way. Do you know of anywhere that I can stay?
MR. GOLD
Oh, well it just so happens that I own a hotel. You could stay there. How long do you plan to
stay?
EMMA
Probably a week.
MR. GOLD
Perfect. Follow me.
(When EMMA and MR. GOLD exit, the big clock tower moves, for the first time in
twenty eight years. HENRY smiles.)
REGINA
Henry, where is it?
HENRY
Where is what?
REGINA
The page, it’s missing.

HENRY
Well it’s an old book, stuff’s gonna be missing. Why do you care?
REGINA
If you must know, I don’t like what this woman that you brought here and this book are
doing to you. I mean, you think that I’m the Evil Queen.
HENRY
Wait, I ne-
(The clock chimes, causing REGINA to look up. HENRY leaves while she’s distracted.
When REGINA realizes that HENRY has left, she spots EMMA’S car, still there.)
REGINA
Ugh. Why hasn’t she left?
(REGINA storms off. Blackout.)
SCENE #15 - SIDEWALK
(EMMA is walking on the sidewalk and spots HENRY.)
HENRY
You decided to stay.
EMMA
Yeah, I guess. Hey, shouldn’t you be going to school?
HENRY
Yep, will you walk with me?
EMMA
Fine.
(EMMA and HENRY are walking to the bus stop.)
So, what’s the deal with you and your mom?
HENRY
It’s not about us, it’s about her curse. We have to break it. Luckily, I have a plan. Step one –
identification. I call it Operation Cobra.
EMMA
Cobra? That has nothing to do with fairy tales.
HENRY
Exactly. It’s a code name to throw the Queen off the trail.
EMMA
Okay… I think I get it. Everyone here is a fairy tale character. They just don’t know it.
HENRY
Yes. It’s the curse. Time’s been frozen – until you got here.
EMMA
What do you mean?
HENRY
The clock started moving last night! You’re changing things already.
(EMMA takes out an apple.)
Hey! Where’d you get that?

EMMA
Your mom.
HENRY
Don’t eat that!
(HENRY takes the apple from EMMA and throws it over his shoulder.)
EMMA
Okay, uh… Alright. So, what about their pasts?
HENRY
They don’t know. It’s a haze to them. Ask anyone anything. And you’ll see.
EMMA
So, for decades, people have been walking around in a haze, not aging, with screwed up
memories, stuck in a cursed town that kept them oblivious.
HENRY
I knew you’d get it.
EMMA
Yeah, no. I’m still confused.
HENRY
Great.
5. POWERFUL MAGIC
HENRY (CON’T)
PLEASE LISTEN, MOM
THIS ISN’T EASY TO EXPLAIN
‘CAUSE YOU SEE MY MOM IS VERY VAIN
THE EVIL QUEEN, KNOWN AS REGINA
SHE IS WAY MORE THAN JUST AN EVIL MA’
EMMA
AH, WHAT’S GOING ON
REGINA CAST THIS SPELL OR CURSE
‘CAUSE WHAT YOU’RE JUST MAKES IT SEEM WAY WORSE
THE STORY GROWS, DEEP INSIDE MY MIND
I JUST REALLY THINK, THAT YOU ARE SO REFINED
WHAT COULD BE THE REASON?
HENRY
IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF LOVE
HER MOTHER KILLED THE ONE
(Referring to heaven.)
SO NOW HE’S UP ABOVE

HENRY (CON’T)
THEN A PROMISE WAS BROKE
THEN COMES THE EVIL QUEEN
EMMA
What?
HENRY
WELL, LOVE THAT ENDS WITH DEATH
MAKES MY MOTHER THE EVILEST EVIL QUEEN
Come on! If we do this together it will work!
THERE’S A POWERFUL MAGIC

WHEN TWO HEARTS ARE ONE
A POWERFUL MAGIC, BRIGHT AS THE SUN
GOODNESS WILL TRIUMPH
EMMA AND HENRY

AND EVIL’S UNDONE
WHEN YOU DARE TO HEED LOVES CALL
‘CAUSE LOVE IS THE MOST POWERFUL MAGIC OF ALL
EMMA
THERE’S A POWERFUL MAGIC WHEN TWO HOPE FOR MORE
HENRY
I’M EVER MORE HOPEFUL FOR WHAT LIES IN STORE
EMMA
NOTHING WILL STOP US, NO NOT ANYMORE
WATCH US STOP HER EVIL PLAN
HENRY
THAT’S WHAT OUR HEART’S
AND THEIR POWERFUL MAGIC CAN DO
FEEL THE SONG INSIDE OUR HEARTS

THAT IS WHERE THE MAGIC STARTS
EMMA
OH, IT GROWS WITH EVERY NOTE
SOARING SWEETLY FROM MY THROAT
HENRY
BUT WE’VE ONLY GOT SOME TIME
DON’T KNOW HOW, BUT WE’LL BE FINE
EMMA
WITH BOTH OUR HEART’S SO, SO STRONG
EMMA AND HENRY

HOW CAN WE GO WRONG?
EMMA AND HENRY (CON’T)

BECAUSE POWERFUL MAGIC
WE NOW HAVE THE MEANS
‘CAUSE LOVE CAN DEFEAT CURSES,
POTIONS OR BEANS
EMMA
AND THE UNHAPPY ENDING,
LET THAT BE THE QUEEN’S
EMMA AND HENRY

WITH OUR-
HENRY
Wait, what? No. Regina still deserves her happy ending. We will find her happy ending
without magic or curses.
EMMA
Okay.
HENRY
NOW LET OUR HEART’S SHOW THE POWERFUL MAGIC
EMMA AND HENRY

WE CAN MAKE!
HENRY
See! That’s why I need you. You’re the only one who can break her curse. You’re the only one
who can give everyone their happy ending.
EMMA
Because I’m the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, right?
HENRY
Yes. And right now, we have the advantage. My mom doesn’t know that. I took out the end.
The part with you in it. See? Your mom is Snow White.
EMMA
Kid…
HENRY
(HENRY stops walking.)
I know the hero never believes at first.

EMMA
Well I sort of do-
HENRY
Okay, but if they did, it wouldn’t be a very good story. If you need proof, take them. Read
them. But whatever you do, don’t let her see these pages. They’re dangerous. If she finds out
who you are, then it would be bad. I got to go. But I’ll find you later and we can get started. I
knew you’d believe me!
EMMA
Yeah, well, I never said I did.
HENRY
Then why are you here?
(HENRY runs into the school. MARY MARGARET sees EMMA and approaches her.)
MARY MARGARET
It’s good to see his smile back.
EMMA
I didn’t do anything.
MARY MARGARET
You stayed. So, does the Mayor know you’re still here?
EMMA
Oh, she knows. What is her deal? She’s not a great people person.
MARY MARGARET
Yeah.
EMMA
How did she get elected?
MARY MARGARET
She’s been mayor for as long as I can remember. No one’s ever been brave enough to run
against her. She inspires quite a bit of, well, fear. I’m afraid I only made that worse by giving
Henry that book. Now he thinks she’s the Evil Queen.
EMMA
Who does he think you are?
MARY MARGARET
Oh, it’s silly.
EMMA
I just got five minutes of silly. Lay it on me.
MARY MARGARET
Snow White. Who does he think you are?
EMMA
Oh, I’m not in the book.
MARY MARGARET
Oh, I see.
EMMA
You know, this whole fairy tale obsession is kind of crazy.
MARY MARGARET
I-I hope you don’t talk that way in front of him. The word crazy is, um, quite damaging.
These stories… They’re his language. He has no idea how to express complex emotion, so
he’s translating as best he can. This is how he communicates, when he’s using this book to
help deal with his problems.
EMMA
I guess you’re right.
MARY MARGARET
Just be careful of his belief system. Hey, I actually have this file, from Henry’s school
therapist. You could look at it if you want.
(MARY MARGARET hands EMMA the file. EMMA looks at it as she walks away.
MARY MARGARET meets with REGINA.)
MARY MARGARET
So, she took it.
REGINA
Perfect.
MARY MARGARET
Why did you want her to have it?
REGINA
You’ll see.
SCENE #16 - EMMA’S APARTMENT IN STORYBROOKE
(ROBIN HOOD knocks on EMMA’S door. EMMA opens it.)
ROBIN HOOD
Hello, Emma.
EMMA
Hey. What are you doing here?
ROBIN HOOD
It’s about Henry.
EMMA
Oh, great.
ROBIN HOOD
I’ve heard from Mrs. Blanchard that you threatened her in order to get some file from
Henry’s school therapist. Is that true?
EMMA
Look, I do have his file, but she willingly gave it to me. I never threatened her.
ROBIN HOOD
Well her tale is a bit different from that. Can I please have the files?
(EMMA gives ROBIN HOOD the files.)
I’m sorry, Miss Swan, but you are under arrest.
EMMA
Listen, I don’t care what you think. I didn’t do anything wrong. She’s lying. I’m being set up.
ROBIN HOOD
Who would set you up?
EMMA
Probably Regina. She hates me, already. You know, she probably made Mary Margaret do it!
ROBIN HOOD
Look, I know Regina can be a bit intimidating, but I don’t think she’d frame you.
(HENRY runs in)

EMMA
Henry! What are you doing here?

HENRY
My mom told me everything-
ROBIN HOOD
Listen, we really should be going.
EMMA
Henry, whatever she told you-
HENRY
You’re a genius! You’re gathering information for Operation Cobra! And, Sheriff, there’s no
need to arrest Emma, because she is gonna be bailed out by Mrs. Blanchard.
EMMA
Wait, really?
HENRY
Yeah.
ROBIN HOOD
Oh, well I guess if you’re gonna be bailed out, then there is no need.
EMMA
Why would Mrs. Blanchard do that?
HENRY
She trusts you.
EMMA
Oh.

REGINA
Henry! Where have you been! You can’t keep running away!
HENRY
Okay.
(HENRY walks away. REGINA sees EMMA.)
REGINA
You! Never take Henry ever again! Henry has enough issues. He doesn’t need you confusing
him.
EMMA
With all due respect, Madam Mayor, you threatening me more and more makes me want to
stay more and more.
REGINA
Mr. Gold. It’s great seeing you here.
(Pause)
So what are you doing here?

MR. GOLD
Well I just was telling Emma that she can no longer stay in my hotel.
(REGINA steps back and smiles.)

EMMA
What? Why?
MR. GOLD
Well, we do have a “no felons” policy. I will come by to pick up your keys sometime this
evening.
(MR. GOLD exits.)

REGINA
Oh, that must be rough.
EMMA
Ugh.
REGINA
How about at five o’clock, you come by my office and we can discuss this more.
EMMA
Why would I do that?
REGINA
I think it’s time that you and I find some peace.
EMMA
Fine.
SCENE #18 - REGINA’S OFFICE

(EMMA walks to REGINA’S office and knocks on the door frame.)
EMMA
Hey.
REGINA
Emma. Please, come in.

REGINA
I’d like to start by apologizing, Miss Swan.
EMMA
What?
REGINA
I just have to accept the reality that you want to be here.
EMMA
That’s right. I do.
REGINA
And that you’re here to take my son from me.
EMMA
Okay, let’s be clear. I have no intention of taking him from anyone.
REGINA
Well, then, what are you doing here?
EMMA
I know I’m not a mother. I think that’s pretty self-evident. But I did have him. And I can’t
help that he got in my head and I want to make sure he’s okay. The more you try to push me
out, the more I want to be here. Especially after seeing how troubled he is.
REGINA
You think he’s troubled?
EMMA
Well, he’s in therapy. And I only got through a couple of pages of his shrink’s notes before
you had me arrested. But putting all that aside. He thinks everyone in this town is a fairy tale
character.
REGINA
And you don’t?
EMMA
How can I? The poor kid can’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality and it’s only
getting worse. It’s crazy.
(HENRY, who has been listening to their conversation, yells out.)
HENRY
You think I’m crazy?
EMMA
Henry…
(Henry runs out of the room.)

EMMA
How long was he there?
REGINA
Long enough.
EMMA
You knew he would be here.
REGINA
Did I know that my son comes to my office every Thursday at precisely 5:00pm so I can take
him for dinner before his therapy session? Of course I did. I’m his mother. Your move.
EMMA
You have no soul. How in the hell did you get like this?
(EMMA walks out of REGINA’S office.)
HENRY
You think I’m crazy!
EMMA
No, I think the curse is crazy. And it is. But, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t true. It is a lot to
ask anyone to believe in, but there are a lot of crazy things in this world. So what do I know?
Maybe it is true.
HENRY
But you told my mom-
EMMA
-What she needed to hear. What I do know is that if the curse is real, the only way to break it
is by tricking the Evil Queen into thinking that we are non-believers. ‘Cause that way, she’s
not on to us. Isn’t that what Operation Cobra was all about? Throwing her off the trail?
HENRY
Brilliant!
EMMA
I’ve read the pages and, Henry, you are right. They are dangerous. There is only one way to
make sure that she never sees them.
(EMMA rips up the paper.)

EMMA (CON’T)
Now we have the advantage.
HENRY
I knew you were here to help me.
EMMA
That’s right, kid. I am. And nothing, not even a curse, is going to stop that. Now, let me go
finish up that talk that I was having with your mom.
HENRY
Okay.
(HENRY runs away and EMMA walks back into REGINA’S office.)
EMMA
Never do that to me, again!
REGINA
I’m guessing that didn’t end up well, did it?
EMMA
Listen, I don’t care what you do. You can’t make me leave.
(EMMA storms off. Unexpectedly, MR. GOLD appears.)
REGINA
Woah! Where did you come from?
MR. GOLD
Let’s just say I have a way of getting around quickly.
REGINA
What do you want? I’m not gonna make any deals with you anymore.
MR. GOLD
To which deal are you referring to?
REGINA
The one where you found Henry.
MR. GOLD
Henry, yes. What a lovely name. Where did you come up with it?
REGINA
It was my father’s name.

MR. GOLD
Oh, right. Your father. The one you kill to cast this curse.
(REGINA is shocked)
REGINA
What? Who do you think you are?
MR. GOLD
You know, dearie.
REGINA
You knew? You knew! You knew all along? You knew who Henry’s birth mother was! You
knew that she was-
MR. GOLD
-the savior.
REGINA
But, but… I gave you everything! I gave you the life you wanted!
MR. GOLD
Yeah, you did…
REGINA
But…
MR. GOLD
I’m bored now.
REGINA
What do you mean?
MR. GOLD
I got bored of doing the same thing over and over again.
REGINA
But how do you remember?
MR. GOLD
I don’t think it is how. More like, who?
REGINA
What?
MR. GOLD
Well, you see, when Snow White and Prince Charming came to my cell, they told me the
name of their child, Emma. Something as little as a name gave me my memories back.
Imagine what could happen with a whole lot of proof.
REGINA
You little son of a-
MR. GOLD
I hope you do something about Emma soon. Or else things won’t be very good for you.
SCENE #19 - CLOCK TOWER

(MARY MARGARET is walking down the street and so is DAVID.)
MARY MARGARET
David, right?
DAVID
Yeah. You are…
MARY MARGARET
Mary Margaret. It’s nice to meet you.
DAVID
You too.
MARY MARGARET
Sorry, have we met before?
DAVID
I hope I wasn’t the only one. You look really familiar.
MARY MARGARET
Hm. That’s funny.
DAVID
Well, I should get going.
MARY MARGARET
Okay, me too. See ya.
(DAVID walks away and MARY MARGARET stands still. EMMA walks up to her.)
EMMA
Okay.
MARY MARGARET
What?
EMMA
I know we don’t know each other very well, but I can tell you like him.
MARY MARGARET
What?
EMMA
Yeah. Super obvious. You should ask him out.
MARY MARGARET
Oh, well. That would not go well.
EMMA
At least try. You never know, maybe you’ll thank me later.
MARY MARGARET
Okay.
(MARY MARGARET smiles and walks away. EMMA meets up with HENRY.)
EMMA
Hey, kid.
HENRY
Hey Emma.
(HENRY runs up to EMMA and hugs her. EMMA was not expecting this. Once they
are done hugging, HENRY pulls out his storybook.)
HENRY (CON’T)
Give this to Snow White!
EMMA
Sorry, I’m still getting used to the characters' names and who is who. Who’s Snow White?
HENRY
Mary Margaret.
EMMA
Okay, why does she need this?
HENRY
She needs to remember who she is. If she reads this, then she might just remember.
EMMA
Okay, fine. I’ll give it to her tomorrow.
HENRY
Why tomorrow? Do it now!
EMMA
Well, she has a date with David. I think.
HENRY
Perfect! She can take this on her date and read it to him, making him remember, too!
EMMA
I guess so.
HENRY
Okay, but you have to get it to her now!
EMMA
Okay.
(HENRY exits and MARY MARGARET appears.)
MARY MARGARET
Guess who has a date tonight?
EMMA
You did it?
MARY MARGARET
Yep! Oh, I can’t wait!
EMMA
Good job.
MARY MARGARET
(Referring to the book)
What’s that?
EMMA
Oh, it’s Henry’s book.
MARY MARGARET
What are you doing with it?
EMMA
Henry wants you to read it to Prince Charming, sorry. I don’t know everyone's names yet.
MARY MARGARET
Oh, well who does he think Prince Charming is?
EMMA
You’re date.
MARY MARGARET
Oh. Then it must be fate.
EMMA
Yeah. He thinks if you read this, you’ll remember.
MARY MARGARET
Oh, well. I do love reading.
(MARY MARGARET takes the book.)
EMMA
Oh, great. Just make sure that book gets back to Henry. It means a lot to him
MARY MARGARET
Of course!
SCENE #20 - SIDEWALK

MARY MARGARET
So, Henry… you know who he is, right?
DAVID
Yeah. The mayor’s son.
MARY MARGARET
Yeah. Okay, well, he gave me this book that I gave to him. It's about fairy tales and he thinks
everyone here is in it. He wants me to read it to you because he thinks we’ll remember who
we are.
DAVID
Who does he think we are?
MARY MARGARET
Snow White and Prince Charming.
DAVID
Oh. Wow.
MARY MARGARET
Anyway, I’m an honest woman, so let’s read it.
DAVID
Okay.

(REGINA looks into her magical mirror and sees MARY MARGARET and DAVID
having fun together and happy. REGINA gets angry.)
REGINA
No! Why are they together? Why are they happy? This is my happy ending!
6. CHARMINGS V.S. EVIL QUEEN

other's hands.)
DAVID AND MARY MARGARET

(MR. GOLD chuckles, blackout after REGINA walks off stage. End of ACT I.)
INTERMISSION
SCENE #23 - THE ENCHANTED FOREST - ROYAL CASTLE
(REGINA is sitting on a beautiful couch brushing YOUNG SNOW’s hair. YOUNG

SNOW is sitting on the ground)
YOUNG SNOW
Oh, I’m so glad you are to be my step-mother.
REGINA
Me too, Snow. We’ll be very happy together.
YOUNG SNOW
You are gonna love my father. He is very kind and the most loveable person in the world!
We’re gonna be so happy.
(YOUNG SNOW notices REGINA’s sad face.)
You are happy, aren’t you?

REGINA
Yes, but… Hey, Snow.
YOUNG SNOW
Yes?
REGINA
There’s something I need to tell you.
YOUNG SNOW
What is it?
REGINA
I don’t love your father…
YOUNG SNOW
What? But you are to marry him? I thought you loved him.
REGINA
You’re father is a very good man, just I love someone else.
YOUNG SNOW
But who?
REGINA
Well, he’s this man that works in the stables. His name is Daniel. My mother wants me to be
queen so she is forcing me to marry your father.
YOUNG SNOW
Oh. I see. Well, you deserve to be happy. I will go and tell father right away so you don’t have
to-
REGINA
No, no, no. Snow! You can’t tell him.
YOUNG SNOW
But why? I’m sure he’ll understand.
REGINA
Yes, he might, but I’m not sure everyone else will. Especially my mother. She’ll stand in the
way for sure. That is why I will be running away tonight with my true love.
YOUNG SNOW
What?
REGINA
This is how it has to be. If I marry your father, I will be miserable for the rest of my life
thinking about Daniel. But I can be happy-
YOUNG SNOW
-if you run away.
REGINA
Snow, do you know what a secret is?
(YOUNG SNOW nods.)
Okay, then if you truly want me to be happy, everything I told you has to be kept away from
everyone. No one can know about this. Listen, I really trust you and I love you. You are an
amazing little girl and I’m sorry it has to be this way.
(YOUNG SNOW hugs REGINA very tightly.)
YOUNG SNOW
I’ll miss you.
(They stop talking.)

REGINA
I’ll miss you, too.
YOUNG SNOW
I hope you’ll be happy with Daniel.
REGINA
I will be.
(REGINA exits. CORA enters from the other side.)
YOUNG SNOW
Cora!
CORA
Oh, please! Call me grandmother.

YOUNG SNOW
Okay, grandmother.
CORA
Actually, don’t. It makes me feel old.
(They both giggle and hug each other.)
YOUNG SNOW
What are you doing here?
CORA
I just wanted to check on you. See how my daughter is treating you.
YOUNG SNOW
Oh, she has been very lovely. She is very kind.
CORA
Indeed. It warms my heart how you two share everything… Already. Perhaps, you could
share something with me. Why has she pulled away from me?
YOUNG SNOW
What do you mean?
CORA
A mother knows her daughter. Regina’s pulled away. I love her so much, but she’s not letting
me help her. And I… I know she’s unhappy. Has she said something? I’d do anything to make
her happy.
YOUNG SNOW
You’d do anything?
CORA
Of course, dear. You know, I talked to the King about your mother. He told me how much she
loved you. Losing her must’ve been so hard.
YOUNG SNOW
It was.
CORA
Hearing him, I realized he might as well have been talking about me and Regina. I don’t want
us to lose each other. If only I could show her how I feel. That, no matter what, all I want is
her happiness.
(YOUNG SNOW abruptly stands up.)
YOUNG SNOW
Then, don’t make her get married.
CORA
I’m sorry?
YOUNG SNOW
She doesn’t love my father. She loves someone else. She made me promise not to tell… But
she’ll lose you. She can’t lose her mother. No one should.
CORA
Oh, sweet Snow. It’s alright. She won’t lose me. You can tell me. You must tell me.
YOUNG SNOW
Fine. But only because it’ll make her happy.
CORA
Snow, oh. You’re always thinking of others’ happiness.
(YOUNG SNOW smiles.)

YOUNG SNOW
Regina plans to escape with her true love, Daniel. She said he was a stable boy. She loves him
and he loves her. Oh, I shouldn’t be telling you this-
CORA
It’s okay, Snow. I just want my daughter to be happy. That’s all I ever wanted. I’m glad you
told me.
(REGINA enters, but stops when she sees CORA with YOUNG SNOW.)
REGINA
Why are you here?
CORA
Don’t worry. I was just on my way.
(CORA exits.)
REGINA
Please tell me you did not tell her.
YOUNG SNOW
Of course, I would never tell her.

REGINA
Good. Now, I must go-
(REGINA and YOUNG SNOW hear a man yell loudly.)
YOUNG SNOW
What was that?
REGINA
I don’t know.
(CORA enters, wiping her hands.)
CORA
Oh, don’t worry, darling. That was just the cries of a stable boy’s heart being ripped out and
crushed. Isn’t that exciting?
REGINA
Daniel?
(REGINA falls down to her knees.)

CORA
Daniel? Daniel? Oh, yes. Daniel! He’s the one. But wait! Wasn’t he your true love? The one
you were going to escape with without telling me? Isn’t that your plan that Snow swore not
to tell, yet broke your trust and told me anyway? Oh, isn’t that sad.
REGINA
You told her?
YOUNG SNOW
I didn’t mean to-
CORA
Really? You didn’t mean to? How do you accidentally tell someone about a plot to escape
with one’s true love after you were specifically told not to?
REGINA
I trusted you.
CORA
Well, what have we learned today? Never trust a little girl with a secret. Ever.
(CORA pridefully walks offstage.)

REGINA
How could you? How could you do this to me?
YOUNG SNOW
Please! I didn’t know any better! I thought she would help you! Your mother told me-
REGINA
What? What did she tell you? That she wants me to be happy? I can’t imagine how you ever
believed her! I can’t believe that I believed you! You’ve ruined my life!
YOUNG SNOW
I just didn’t want you to lose your mom, like I lost mine.
REGINA
Well today I lost someone else. Daniel. The only person that truly meant something to me.
YOUNG SNOW
Please, all I ever wanted was-
REGINA
(Screaming very loudly.)
I hate you!
(REGINA exits. YOUNG SNOW collapses to the ground in tears. CORA enters, again,
with her arms open wide.)
CORA
Come here, Snow.
YOUNG SNOW
What? Why should I do that?
CORA
Because I’m your grandma.
YOUNG SNOW
I’m such a horrible person. How could I have ever done this?
(CORA quickly puts her arms down.)
CORA
That’s right.
YOUNG SNOW
What?
CORA
You are a horrible person.
YOUNG SNOW
How could you say something like that to me?
CORA
Just know, life is not going to be easy around Regina now.
(YOUNG SNOW breaks down in tears.)

REGINA
Thank you for coming, Mr. Gold.
MR. GOLD
My pleasure.
REGINA
Listen, I need a plan to get rid of Emma Swan forever!
MR. GOLD
Aw… That is quite intriguing. Now, how do you plan to succeed?
REGINA
That’s what you’re here for. I need you to come up with a spectacular plan to make sure I
never see her face ever again!
MR. GOLD
Indeed, but what do I get from this?
REGINA
Of course, you just have to have something out of this! Can’t you ever do a favor?
MR. GOLD
That’s not how it works for me, dearie.
REGINA
Ugh, fine. I know where a special someone is and I will get them back for you.
MR. GOLD
What?
REGINA
I know where Belle is.
MR. GOLD
Belle…? You know where my Belle is?

REGINA
Yes, yes I do. And if you help me, then you and your wife will be together again.
MR. GOLD
Okay. It is a deal. I get rid of Ms. Swan and I get my Belle back.
REGINA
Deal.
(REGINA and MR. GOLD wait for a little while in silence.)
MR. GOLD
Uh… do you still have those apple trees in your backyard?
REGINA
Of course.
MR. GOLD
That’s it.
REGINA
That’s what?
MR. GOLD
The key to your happy ending. If we poison those apples, you can give one to Emma!
REGINA
Already tried it.
MR. GOLD
How did you give it to her last time?
REGINA
I don’t know. I just offered it to her.
MR. GOLD
Well this time, do it as an apology.
REGINA
An apology? No.
MR. GOLD
You don’t have to mean it, just fake it.
REGINA
You really think this will work?
MR. GOLD
Yes. Invite her over and apologize. Then as an apology gift, you will give her an apple
turnover or an apple pie, something like that! She’ll be dumb enough to eat it and then you
have Emma Swan in a sleeping curse to be woken by true love's kiss.
REGINA
But she doesn’t have anyone who loves her.
MR. GOLD
Exactly. There won’t be any way to wake her up.
REGINA
And it’ll stay that way for all of eternity.
MR. GOLD
You’re welcome.
7. THE QUEEN SINGS PART 1
REGINA
MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL
THEY’RE TORTURED BY MY SPELL
MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL
I WILL SOON PREVAIL
MR. GOLD
YOU’RE LITTLE SON BROUGHT HER HERE
NOW EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE
REGINA
BUT I KNOW OUR PLAN WILL WORK
AND LEAVE THIS PLACE DERANGED
MR. GOLD
A SPELL AS STRONG AS THIS
WON’T BE EASY TO DEFEAT
YOUR SPELL MIGHT NOT SUCCEED
WITH YOUR SON SINGING SONGS SO SWEET
(As REGINA and MR. GOLD continue to talk, the COMPANY walks across the stage.
EMMA and HENRY as seen downstage. EMMA is talking to HENRY.)

REGINA
W-what? Henry? To who?
MR. GOLD
Yeah, to Emma.
REGINA
Oh, great.
MR. GOLD
Don’t worry, dearie. We’ll win.
REGINA
Are you sure?
MR. GOLD
She’ll fall for it.
REGINA
I don’t know, Gold.
MR. GOLD
Trust me.
REGINA
Ugh. Fine.
8. THE QUEEN SINGS PART 2
MR. GOLD
DEARIE, SEEMS WE FOUND OUR WAY
REGINA
OH, YEAH WE MAKE ‘EM PAY
REGINA AND MR. GOLD

HAPPY TIMES ARE HERE TO STAY
EMMA, HENRY, AND ENSEMBLE

SEEMS WE FOUND A LUCKY BREAK
NOW LET OUR SONG SHOW THE-
COMPANY
POWERFUL MAGIC
WE CAN MAKE
EMMA
Wait!
HENRY
What is it, mom?
EMMA
Your mom is calling me…
HENRY
Oh.
EMMA
(On the phone)
Hello?
REGINA
Hello, Ms. Swan. Listen, I have realized that this fight between us is going to continue for
ever and ever until someone steps up. So, I am willing to be the bigger person and invite you
to my house. I would like to apologize over dinner.
EMMA
Uh… I guess I could come over, but I couldn’t come for dinner.
REGINA
Okay, Ms. Swan. I will see you at 5:00 P.M. sharp.
EMMA
Okay, but this isn’t a trick is it?
REGINA
No, no. I’m past those days.
EMMA
Okay.
(EMMA puts her phone away.)
HENRY
What did she want?
EMMA
She was just apologizing. Seems like everything is good between us now.
HENRY
Really?! Wow! I never thought that would happen in a million years.
EMMA
Okay, kid.
HENRY
Okay. Let’s go.

EMMA
Uh, you can run along. I have to stop somewhere first.
HENRY
Oh, okay. See you mom!
(HENRY runs offstage.)

EMMA
See ya!
(Beat)
Wait!
HENRY
What?
EMMA
Nevermind.
HENRY
Okay. Good bye, mom!
EMMA
Good bye, Henry.
(EMMA turns to go to REGINA’s house.)

EMMA
Hello! Hello? Regina! It’s 5:00 P.M. exactly!
REGINA
Hey there, Emma.
EMMA
Hey, can we get this over with.
REGINA
Sure, come on in.
EMMA
Okay.
(EMMA and REGINA sit down at a table.)

REGINA
Thank you for coming, Ms. Swan. I really do appreciate it.
EMMA
You’re welcome.
REGINA
Emma, I know this isn’t easy but what is happening between us needs to stop, now.
EMMA
I agree.
REGINA
How do you think we could do that?
EMMA
Well, I think we could do something. A deal.
REGINA
Sorry, I’m not Mr. Gold.
EMMA
It’s about Henry.
REGINA
I’m listening.
EMMA
Listen, I want to be able to see Henry whenever I want. I get to visit and spend time with
him. Please, Regina.
REGINA
Don’t you already have that. I thought you and Henry were fine. If anything I should be
making that deal for myself. I hardly get to see him. You really-
EMMA
I’m leaving town.
REGINA
You’re what?
EMMA
I’m leaving. I think it’s best for you, for me. For Henry.
REGINA
Oh, okay.
EMMA
Yeah.
REGINA
Well, I thought since you couldn’t stay for dinner, I thought that I’d bake you my famous
apple turnover.
(REGINA holds out the apple turnover.)
It’s my own secret recipe!

EMMA
Thanks.
REGINA
A little something for the road.
(EMMA takes the turnover and exits. MR. GOLD appears.)
MR. GOLD
Well done, Regina.
REGINA
Thank you. Our plan worked.
MR. GOLD
Now we just wait for her to take one bite of that apple turnover and we’ve won. And, I get my
Belle back, right? That is part of our agreement. Our deal.
REGINA
Yes, of course. Don’t you think I’ve learned to keep my word with you?
MR. GOLD
Yes.
REGINA
Good. Now, let’s go.
(REGINA and MR. GOLD exit.)
SCENE #27 - EMMA’S APARTMENT IN STORYBROOKE
(EMMA enters her apartment and HENRY is sitting on a chair.)
EMMA
Hey kid.
HENRY
What took you so long, mom?
(EMMA is a little bit startled by “mom.”)
EMMA
Um, can we talk about something?
HENRY
Sure, what?
EMMA
You know I love you, right?
HENRY
Yeah, I know. Who couldn’t love me?
(EMMA doesn’t laugh.)

EMMA
Yesterday, when I tried to take you away, you were right. I can’t take you out of Storybrooke.
But I can’t stay either.
HENRY
Where is this going?
EMMA
I have to go.
HENRY
Go? Go where? Leave Storybrooke? What? No! You can’t leave! Mom! Don’t do this! You
haven’t finished your mission! You’re the savior, you can’t leave everyone here!
EMMA
Enough! Enough with the savior! Enough with the fairytales! Henry, I can't do this!
(EMMA calms down.)
Listen, I spoke with your mother. She said that I can still see you, just not everyday.
HENRY
Oh, is that where you were? Is that why you took so long? And I guess you got that from her,
too.
(EMMA looks at the apple turnover.)
EMMA
Henry, listen. You mom-
HENRY
No! No! You can’t trust her! She’s the Evil Queen!
EMMA
Henry-
HENRY
You don’t believe me? Let me guess, you never have! Are you telling me all of this was just a
lie?
EMMA
Henry, I do-
HENRY
No! You don’t believe me, do you? If none of this made you believe, maybe this will.
EMMA
Henry, what?
(HENRY grabs the apple turnover.)
HENRY
You’ll see.
(HENRY takes a bite of the apple turnover. Nothing happens.)
EMMA
See, Henry. This isn’t real. Your mom isn’t the Evil Queen. She never was.
HENRY
Oh-
(Suddenly, HENRY collapses.)
EMMA
Henry! Henry? No, no! No!
9. POWERFUL MAGIC (REPRISE)

WHEN TWO HEARTS ARE ONE
A POWERFUL MAGIC BRIGHT AS THE SUN
AND EVIL’S UNDONE…
(EMMA bursts into tears. Blackout)
SCENE #28 - HOSPITAL

EMMA
Henry, Henry! Can you hear me? Please wake up, please.
DOCTOR
Ms. Swan, let me lead you to-
EMMA
No! I am not leaving his side!
DOCTOR
Well, then, could you tell me what happened? Did he fall? Did something hit his head?
EMMA
I don’t know. He took one bite of an apple pastry, I don’t know. And he fell down
immediately after a couple seconds. Can’t you start running some tests? I don’t like arsenic,
or bleach, or Drano, or whatever could’ve done this to him!
DOCTOR
Yes, but the boy. He shows no symptoms at all! It’s very strange.
EMMA
Well, do something! Figure out what happened! Isn’t this your job?
DOCTOR
I don’t know what else to do. Nothing like this has ever happened. It’s like it was magic.
(REGINA walks in.)

REGINA
Henry! Oh, no! What did you do?
(EMMA stays silent. The DOCTOR exits. There’s a moment of silence.)
EMMA
You.
(EMMA runs up to REGINA and starts fighting her. REGINA fights back.)
REGINA
Emma, what are you doing? Ow!
(REGINA finally shoves EMMA down. EMMA stands back up.)
10. EMMA’S THEME
(EMMA starts to hum “Emma’s Theme.”)
EMMA
ONCE I LIVED IN DARKNESS, OUT THERE ON OWN
LEFT TO BRAVE THE WORLD ALONE
EVERYTHING SEEMED HOPELESS
NO CHANCE TO BREAK FREE
COULDN’T HEAR THE SONG INSIDE OF ME
ONCE UPON A TIME A SONG INSPIRED THEM: BE BRAVE

THEY GAVE ME UP BECAUSE MY FATE WAS AS THE ONE WHO’D SAVE
THE WORLD FROM YOUR DARK MAGIC
AND THE WICKED THINGS YOU DO
THEY PLACED A SONG INSIDE MY HEART
MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU
ALL THE YEARS OF RUNNING

NO, NOT ANYMORE
I KNOW WHAT I’M LIVING FOR
I’M NO LONGER SEARCHING
TURNS OUT ALL ALONG
THE ANSWER WAS INSIDE ME
WITH A SONG
REGINA
Emma! You are going crazy! Let me see my son!
EMMA
No! You did this!
REGINA
Did what?
EMMA
That apple turnover! He ate it!
REGINA
No, no! That was meant for you!
EMMA
It’s true. Isn’t it? All of it.
REGINA
Yes.
EMMA
I was leaving Storybrooke! Why couldn’t you have just left things like that? You really
couldn’t handle me coming to see him every once in a while, could you? What is wrong with
you?
REGINA
Because as long as you live, Henry will never be mine!
EMMA
He’ll never be anyone’s unless you wake him up, right now! Do it! Wake him up!
REGINA
I can’t!
EMMA
You can’t? Don’t you have magic?
REGINA
This is a land without magic!
EMMA
But the apple turnover was magic, right?
REGINA
Yes, but it is the only one of it. The apples in my backyard are the only magic in this world. I
can’t use a magic apple to undo my spell.
EMMA
Well then, what can we do?
MR. GOLD
There is one thing.
REGINA
Gold.
MR. GOLD
Hello.
EMMA
Wait, you remember?
MR. GOLD
Yes, my memory has been back since you got here.
EMMA
Please, tell us. What can we do?
MR. GOLD
There is this hat.
EMMA
(Joking)
Oh, the Mad Hatter’s hat?

MR. GOLD
Exactly.
EMMA
Oh.
MR. GOLD
If you use the hat, and go to my palace, you’ll find a vial.
REGINA
What’s in it?
MR. GOLD
Let me finish. Inside contains something very special. The product of true love.
REGINA
What? How did you get that?
MR. GOLD
I got a strand of hair from Charming and Snow. When I combined them, I got the product of
true love.
EMMA
Okay. Where do we find this hat?
MR. GOLD
I already have it in my shop. I will go and grab it. You two, please watch over Henry.
REGINA
Why do you care so much about Henry?
MR. GOLD
I know something you don’t.
EMMA
What is it?
MR. GOLD
I’ll go get the hat.
(MR. GOLD exits.)

EMMA
Hey, Regina. I’m really sorry about how I acted. I just… I don’t know.
REGINA
I understand. He’s my son, too. I would’ve done the same thing.
(EMMA and REGINA hug. Blackout.)
(EMMA and REGINA stand together in the center. Between them is a hat.)
EMMA
So, what do we do?
REGINA
Yeah, I was gonna ask the same question.
MR. GOLD
You must open the portal by spinning the hat. Then you will be able to get the product of
true love in my palace.
REGINA
Well then, let's get this over with.
(EMMA bends down and spins the hat.)
EMMA
What’s gonna happen when we get there?
MR. GOLD
You’re gonna do as I told you!
REGINA
Okay. We’ll do that.
MR. GOLD
Good. Be back soon. Magic here is unpredictable. Who knows what will happen to Henry if
this doesn’t work…
REGINA
Gold! Why do you care so much about-
MR. GOLD
Jump in the hat already, would you?
REGINA
Okay!
(Blackout.)
SCENE #30 - THE ENCHANTED FOREST - RUMPELSTILTSKIN’S PALACE
EMMA
Woah. What is this place?
REGINA
Gold’s palace.
EMMA
Looks more like an abandoned shed.
REGINA
Well, no one has been here for twenty eight years.
HOOK
Except me!
EMMA
Uh, who are you?
HOOK
Captain Hook. Also known as Killian Jones.
EMMA
Captain Hook?
HOOK
Aye. And I’ve been looking around for the past twenty eight years and I still haven’t found
that crocodile.
EMMA
Crocodile?
HOOK
Rumpelstiltskin.
(Beat)
He cut off my hand! He will pay! I will skin me a croc!
EMMA
It was that bad, huh? Gold really did that to you?
HOOK
Aye. Now, tell me where I can find him! Where is Rumpelstiltskin?
11. REVENGE IS GONNA BE MINE
HOOK
DEAR PRINCESS AND PRINCESS
REGINA
I am a queen.
HOOK
I DON’T EVEN CARE ‘BOUT YOUR RANK

HOOK AND ENSEMBLE

HOOK

REVENGE, REVENGE, REVENGE IS GONNA BE MINE
EMMA
So you want revenge on this crocodile? For taking your hand?
HOOK
I'm afraid he did more than that.
ONCE I SAILED TOWARDS A HORIZON

WHERE I MIGHT FIND HAPPINESS WAITING
UNTIL THAT CROC DESTROYED MY LIFE

ENSEMBLE
“LET IT GO!”
HOOK

HE WILL FEEL!
HOOK
THE FIRE OF THIS PIRATE’S WRATH
EMMA
Wait, is Gold the dark one, right?
REGINA
Yeah. He has been for a while.
EMMA
I think we know why you haven't been able to find him!
REGINA
He’s in our realm.
HOOK
Oh…
REGINA
Listen, what if you help us find something in this palace, then we’ll help you get to Gold.
EMMA
I don’t think that’s the best idea-
HOOK
I don’t want gold, I want that crocodile.
REGINA
Yes, where he goes by Gold, Mr. Gold in our world.

OH, IT’S GONNA BE MINE
OH, IT’S GONNA BE MINE!
HOOK
Ladies, I think we have a deal.
REGINA
Okay-
(EMMA pulls REGINA away.)
EMMA
Regina, this is not a good idea. What if he does come into town and ruins everything. What if
he does kill Gold. Do you realize how horrible that would be?
REGINA
Yes, but I think we should.
EMMA
What about Henry? Think of how badly this could affect him!
REGINA
Well, right now, he is unconscious!
(REGINA starts crying.)

EMMA
Okay, fine.
HOOK
Okay, so what are you looking for?
EMMA
A vial. A pink vial. It’s said to be the “product of true love.”
HOOK
Aye…
(HOOK looks at a painting on the wall. It says “Beloved Son.”)
EMMA
What’s that?
HOOK
A painting. A painting of Rumpelstiltskin’s son.
REGINA
He had a son?
HOOK
Yeah. He called him Bae. Short for Baelfire.
EMMA
Baelfire. Where have I heard that before?
REGINA
You’ve heard that name?
EMMA
Maybe. It sounds familiar. I don’t know. It might just be from Henry reading me all of his
stories.
REGINA
Possibly.
HOOK
Found it! I think…
(HOOK holds up a pink vial.)

EMMA
How did you find it so quickly?
HOOK
Well, I have been living here for twenty eight years, I think I know my way around here and
where Rumpelstiltskin used to keep his belongings.
(EMMA smiles and REGINA takes the vial out of HOOK’s hand.)
REGINA
Now, let’s get back home.
EMMA
Right. How do we do that exactly?
REGINA
We go this way.
(REGINA points to exit stage right.)
HOOK
Aye. And I can get my revenge.
(EMMA, REGINA, and HOOK exit stage right. Blackout.)

MR. GOLD
You’re back. And I see you brought someone with you…
REGINA
Yes, we did. And we have the vial. Now how will it work?
MR. GOLD
Give it to me.
REGINA
Why would I do that?
MR. GOLD
‘Cause I’m the only one who knows how this will work. Now, give it to me!
REGINA
Fine!
(REGINA hands the vial to MR. GOLD.)
MR. GOLD
Now, meet me at the hospital. I have to get some extra supplies in my shop.
EMMA
Okay. Come on, let’s go.
MR. GOLD
I’ll meet you there.
(EMMA, HOOK, and REGINA start to exit, but HOOK stops them.)
HOOK
Is that him? Is that Rumpelstiltskin?
REGINA
Yes-
(HOOK starts to go after MR. GOLD, but REGIN holds him back.)
But you can’t do that right now. You can’t get your revenge quite yet. We need him to help us
cure Henry. Then, after that, you can “skin you a croc.”
EMMA
Regina’s right. We need Gold. He is our only hope of saving Henry.
(EMMA, REGINA, and HOOK exit.)
MR. GOLD
They really think a little vial of pink stuff is going to work. They were wrong to trust me.
(Chuckle. MR. GOLD opens up his jacket to reveal different vials of dusts and liquids.
He grabs a couple of them and starts to pour them into Storybrooke’s wishing well. MARY
MARGARET and DAVID walk by and notice MR. GOLD.)
DAVID
Mr. Gold? What are you doing?
MR. GOLD
Go, now! You don’t want to be here right now.
MARY MARGARET
You tell me that makes me want to stay more.
MR. GOLD
Get out! Or else you will regret it one day, dearie.
(MARY MARGARET and DAVID are confused by “dearie.” They’ve never heard him
say something like that before. Then they exit.)
MR. GOLD
This is going to work! I know it will!
SCENE #32 - HOSPITAL
(EMMA is sitting by HENRY’s hospital bed, crying and holding his hand. REGINA is
pacing back and forth, trying to figure out what is taking MR. GOLD so long.)
REGINA
Where is he! He should be here by now! That’s it! I’m gonna go look for him. Emma-
(REGINA notices EMMA crying.)
REGINA (CON’T)
Hey, we’re going to fix this. Henry is gonna be okay.
DOCTOR
Emma, we’re trying everything we can to help your son. I promise.
HOOK
He’ll be okay, Emma.
(HOOK pats EMMA’s back. After a moment of silence, HENRY’s heart monitor starts
to beep.)
REGINA
No… no…
EMMA
I love you, Henry.
(EMMA kisses HENRY on the forehead, which causes the spell he was under to be
broken. A pulse of magic spreads throughout Storybrooke. He wakes up and gasps.)
HENRY
I love you, too. You saved me.
REGINA
You did it.
(The pulse of magic awakens everyone in the town. Soon, a crowd begins to gather in
HENRY’s room.)
EMMA
Henry… What’s going on?
HENRY
The curse… I think you broke it!
EMMA
What?
(EMMA and HENRY hug.)
REGINA
No.
MOTHER SUPERIOR
True love kiss.
REGINA
No. No!
MOTHER SUPERIOR
If I were you, Your Majesty, I’d find some place to hide.
REGINA
Henry… No matter what you think, no matter what anyone tells you, I do love you.
(REGINA flees the room, EMMA and HENRY hug again.)
(REGINA is running quickly, looking back behind her to make sure no one is
following her. Then she bumps into ROBIN.)
REGINA
Ah!
ROBIN
Regina.
REGINA
Robin, please. I know what I’ve done, what terrible things I’ve done. I just-
(ROBIN kisses REGINA.)

REGINA (CON’T)
What?
ROBIN
I love you!
REGINA
What?
ROBIN
I know we were cursed to be in love, but I do love you! I do!
REGINA
And why are you telling me this?
ROBIN
The truth is, I’ve loved you for a long time.
REGINA
Really?
ROBIN
Yes. I do. I love you.
(ROBIN and REGINA kiss.)

REGINA
But, wait! Everyone in this town, they hate me! They all think I am still evil. What should I
do?
ROBIN
Come with me.
(REGINA and ROBIN hold hands as they run offstage. MARY MARGARET and
DAVID run onto the stage to kiss each other.)
DAVID
I found you, Snow.
MARY MARGARET
Charming.
(They kiss.)
You found me.

DAVID
I will always find you.
(They hold hands as they walk offstage. MR. GOLD still stands on stage as REGINA
and ROBIN run in and stop as they see MR. GOLD.)
REGINA
You, what are you doing here? What happened to the antidote you were gonna make or
something?
MR. GOLD
Well, you see… that wasn’t actually the product of true love. Did you really think I would just
have it out in the open in my castle? Of course not! That vial you gave me was something
else. And with its magic I can use it to find two very special things.
REGINA
So you never intended to help Henry, did you?
MR. GOLD
Oh, I did. Once I brought back something that we needed for your needs and mine.
(Pause)
MR. GOLD (CON’T)
Magic. I need magic to find my son. I need magic to find Belle. I need magic to help my
grandson.
ROBIN
You have a grandson?
MR. GOLD
Henry. Henry is my grandson.
(REGINA is shocked)
REGINA
How in the world do you know that?
MR. GOLD
Simple. I offered Emma a place in my inn and she took the bait. Then while she was out
faking to believe Henry, I got a strand of her hair in her bed. I also managed to get some of
Henry’s hair, too. So once I did that, I found out who Henry’s father was. My son. Let me ask
you, Regina. When you were in my castle, did you see a picture of a young boy named
Baelfire?
(REGINA nods.)
And did this name sound familiar to Emma?
(REGINA nods, again.)

That was all because she knows my son. She happened to have a baby with him. And this
baby just so happened to be your adopted son. Oh, wait! But I set you up with the adoption
agency. Hmm… coincidence?
ROBIN
You knew all of this would happen?
MR. GOLD
Please. I only knew that Emma would one day break the curse.
REGINA
Please, can you help me! I need to find a safe space so no one finds me.
MR. GOLD
Why should I do that?
REGINA
I’ll tell you where Belle is!
MR. GOLD
Why do I need your help when I can find her with my magic that I will soon have?
(MR. GOLD pulls out the pink vial and pours it into the well. Smoke starts to come
out of the well.)
ROBIN
Is that… magic?
MR. GOLD
Yes.
(Chuckle)
Finally, now I can find him!
(MR. GOLD exits. EMMA runs on stage.)
EMMA
Regina! What’s going on?
REGINA
Honestly, I don’t know. Remember when you thought the name Baelfire sounded familiar.
EMMA
Yeah.
REGINA
Turns out that’s Henry’s father. And Gold’s son.
EMMA
What?
REGINA
Yeah. It’s crazy, but-
LEROY
It’s the Queen!
(LEROY and the ENSEMBLE charge after REGINA.)
ROBIN
Regina, you have magic now.
(REGINA uses her magic to stop everyone and make them fall to the ground.)
REGINA
People of Storybrooke. I am sorry for my reckless behavior. I was cruel and was only out for
revenge on Snow White and her Prince Charming. I didn’t stop to think about forgiveness.
(Beat. MARY MARGARET and DAVID enter slowly.)
I trusted Snow White with a secret when she was very young, and she didn’t keep it. I was so
angry at her, when she was only a child and was only trying to help. She thought she could
make things better. If I just could’ve seen that before, none of this would’ve happened. But, I
am glad this did happen.
(Everyone gasps and starts to talk amongst themselves HOOK enters.)
If this didn’t happen, I wouldn’t have learned my lesson. I would still be trying to kill Snow
White and Prince Charming. If this didn’t happen… I wouldn’t have Henry. And yes, now he
has his own mother, but I would've been able to love and enjoy the time we had together
while it lasted. I am so sorry for everything I’ve done and none of you ever deserved this. I
know it’ll be hard, but please try to forgive me. But I do understand if you don’t.
(LEROY gets up and slowly walks towards REGINA. Then he gives her a big, warm
hug. HENRY runs in.)
HENRY
Mom!
(HENRY runs to REGINA. LEROY backs away as HENRY hugs REGINA.)
REGINA
I love you, Henry.
HENRY
I love you, too, mom.
(MARY MARGARET and DAVID notice EMMA.)
MARY MARGARET
Emma?
EMMA
Mom? Dad? Is it really you?
DAVID
Oh, Emma.
(They hug.)
MR. GOLD
Emma! Where is Baelfire?
EMMA
Bae… He passed away.
MR. GOLD
What?
EMMA
It was a terrible accident. I’m so sorry.
MR. GOLD
Oh.
BELLE
Rumple?
MR. GOLD
Belle!
(MR. GOLD and BELLE hug.)
PINOCCHIO
Father! Father!
MARCO
Oh, my son! Pinocchio!
(PINOCCHIO jumps into MARCO’s arms.)

HOOK
Emma?
EMMA
Hook?
HOOK
Look, there’s something I need to tell you.
EMMA
I know.
(EMMA kisses HOOK.)

HOOK
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
12. A HAPPY BEGINNING
