Notes: “Darkness On The Edge Of Town” by Bruce Springsteen They’re still racing out at the Trestles, But that blood it never burned in her veins, Now I hear she’s got a house up in Fairview, And a style she’s trying to maintain. Well, if she wants to see me, You can tell her that I’m easily found, Tell her there’s a spot out ‘neath Abram’s Bridge, And tell her, there’s a darkness on the edge of town.

We see notes about birds on the chalkboard and she is holding a bird on her finger, which hearkens back to the Pilot. Regina returns to the Mayor’s office. She “hotly” removes the picture Snow put up. Granny is Neal’s babysitter. Emma suits up and grabs the Sheriff’s badge to reclaim that role. Hook gets Emma coffee to start her day. Very progressive. We see that Gold’s Pawn Shop is Closed. Hook is very frustrated about the Fairies being trapped in the hat, and especially the fact that he had a hand in it. Belle let’s him know that between the internet and “the finest minds in the world,” they would find a way to rescue the Fairies from the magical hat. Rumple is living in New York, sponging off Ursula to put his plan together to return to Storybrooke. It appears that Cruella’s husband is being appr...
