EP 801 Reboot

*SCENE: The United Realms. Storybrooke. Mills House. Living Room. Regina is making breakfast. The camera zooms on the bacon frying in the pan and then cooking eggs. Some time later, she hears footsteps and she turns around, noticing Sir Henry dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans.*

**Regina:***(smiles)*Good morning. **Sir Henry:**Good morning.
*Sir Henry walks around, admiring the house, and then takes a seat.***Regina:**Did you sleep well?
**Sir Henry:**It was kind of weird. It was my first night here and also... *(points at the shirt and the jeans)*these clothes! How do you wear these everyday?!
**Regina:***(laughs)*Yeah, this world's comforts are so weird during the first time. I also had to get used to this when I... *(looks away)*cast the Dark Curse.
*To avoid more awkward topics, Regina gives him a plate of bacon and sunny-side up eggs.*
**Regina:**Now eat up.
*The boy just stares at the plate and then looks at Regina.*
**Sir Henry:**You have magic. Why didn't you use it to cook? You don't have to waste time.
**Regina:**You see, I got used to do this without magic. The other Henry loved when I cooked his favorite meals. He liked to watch me cooking them.
*Regina smiles and tears start to form in her eyes.*
**Regina:**I'm so happy. It's like as if I'm living through those memories again.
*Sir Henry smiles a bit and eats his breakfast. It's still difficult for him to adapt to this new world, and especially after being adopted by what he considered his most hated enemy. After finishing, the doorbell rings.*
**Sir Henry:**Visitors? This soon?
**Regina:**It's someone I would like you to talk with.
*Regina opens up the door and is happy to see the visitor. The camera zooms to the face of the mysterious person, who is revealed to be the Serum Queen.*

*EPISODE TITLE CARD: The iconic "OUAT" logo is seen standing on the blue forest background, who is composed by the skyline of the United Realms. The logo also features the exterior of a tavern.*

*SCENE: Wish Realm. Past. Years Ago. Archive footage of "Page 23": Serum Queen enters the tavern and meets Robin of Locksley.*

**Serum Queen:**I was wondering, maybe, if I may buy you a drink?**Robin of Locksley:**Well, seen as this is my realm. *(smirks)*How about I buy you one?*The Queen smiles as she sits in front of him. Robin pours the drink from the pitcher into the mug and offers it to her. They toast happily.***Robin of Locksley:** Wow, it tasted better than the other times.**Serum Queen:**It wasn't bad.**Robin of Locksley:**So.. Happy Queen? Regina Two? How should I call you now?*The woman chuckles.***Robin of Locksley:**What happened to the vindictive person that used to look like you a few hours ago?**Serum Queen:**She is gone. The 'Evil Queen' decided to drop the 'Evil' part and she needed some help to do that. *(smiles)*I owe one to Regina.**Robin of Locksley:***(laughs)* That's one hell of a change.**Serum Queen:**Stubbornness has always been a fault of mine. I hated to be called the 'Evil Queen' so much that it amplified my desire to crush Snow White's heart. I had that miserable goal for a long time *(looks away)*I hated Regina because of how she managed to change and she hated me because I am the past she wanted to erase and was ashamed to. She nearly succeeded though, again. *(she touches her chest and closes her eyes, a tear rolling down her right eye)*But she helped me to see the light buried in myself.*Robin is wordless, proud of how she managed to make peace with herself and her other half. The Queen is enjoying everything of this moment, the mood and the company, but as soon as a visitor enters and heads towards the tavern owner, showing a poster, her peace is substitued by fear and anxiety. The poster has a drawing of her face with a giant red 'WANTED' written on top.*

*SCENE: Present time. The United Realms. Storybrooke. Granny's Diner. The diner is seen full of customers, showing people from the Enchanted Forest, Camelot, Victorian England and more. The entrance door opens and two people dressed in white fancy robes, enter. There two are Will Scarlet and Anastasia.*

**Will Scarlet:** *(enthusiastic)*God, I missed this place so much!
*Anastasia, on the other hand, is skeptical.*
**Anastasia:**So, this is the famous Granny's diner?
*Granny shows up, holding three cups of hot cocoa.*
**Granny:***(smiles)*The one and only, sweetie. *(notices Will)*Look who just became King!
**Will Scarlet:***(laughs)*Well, I had been one for quite a few years.
**Granny:**And you didn't even tell me you were leaving!
**Will Scarlet:**I wanted but how could I when the diner was missing?!
*Granny rolls her eyes and leaves.*
**Granny:**I'll take your orders in a minute.
*The old woman holds the three cups and heads towards another table, where there are Henry Mills, Jacinda Vidrio and their daughter Lucy.*
**Granny:**Hot cocoa for the three of you!
*Lucy immediately takes a sip and claps out of excitement.*
**Lucy:**I drank hot cocoa of Granny's! It's so delicious! I've always wanted to ever since I read about it.
**Granny:***(giggles)*My food and beverage are so popular that transcend space and time, through curses or not.
*Granny leaves.*
**Jacinda:***(looks around)*So many people this early!
**Henry:**Yeah, mixing regular customers with some new ones.
**Lucy:**The curse brought so many people.
**Jacinda:** I wonder how Ivy and Anastasia are doing.
**Henry:**We should look for them.
**Jacinda:**I don't know, I think it's too soon for that. After everything that happened in Seattle...
**Henry:***(smiles)*Gothel is gone and Victoria would want you to stay together.
**Lucy:**Also, I never even met Anastasia! She would need more help to integrate in this world after she had spent decades in a coma.
*Jacinda doesn't feel ready to face her sisters once again and decides to change topic.*
**Jacinda:***(smiles to Lucy)*Hey, are you excited for school?
**Lucy:**Of course! Who wouldn't be? Snow White gets to be my teacher!

*SCENE: The United Realms. Storybrooke. Storybrooke Elementary School. Following a blue bird, a classroom can be seen. Mary Margaret Blanchard is seen writing her name on the blackboard. After finishing, she turns towards the class and smiles.*

**Mary Margaret Blanchard:** Welcome to fifth grade class! Some of you do not know me. I'm your teacher Miss Mary Margaret Blanchard. This year is your final year of Elementary School and we're gonna do a revision of what we learned the previous years, in order for your new classmates to catch up.
*Lucy is seen on the front, happy to start her studies. Behind her, Roland is seen looking at her and then at Mary Margaret.*

*SCENE: The United Realms.* *Storybrooke. Mills House. Living Room.* *Serum Queen has just entered and Sir Henry is caught off guard by this visit.*

**Sir Henry:** The Evil Queen!
*The boy stands up and takes his sword out... only to realize that he is wearing different clothes and he did not bring any sword.*
**Serum Queen:** Wait! I am not the Evil Queen... anymore.
**Sir Henry:** You're dressed exactly like her!
**Serum Queen:** *(whispers and sits down)* Henry, I'm not that realm's Evil Queen. I am the other half of Regina.
**Sir Henry:** (frowns but sits down too) I don't think to follow.
**Serum Queen:** We have already met each other. Do you remember?
*Close up of Sir Henry's face as he starts to remember their previous encounter.*

*SCENE: Wish Realm. Past. Tavern. Serum Queen grabs Robin's hand.*

**Robin of Locksley:** Are you okay? You look scared.
**Serum Queen:** *(whispers)* We have to go immediately.
*With a head movement, the Queen points at the WANTED poster in the owner's hands. Robin notices it.*
**Robin of Locksley**: Oh, I get it now.
*He stands up and heads towards the counter to pay for the drinks. Giving a quick glance at the poster, he notices that the Queen is guilty of murdering King David, Queen Snow and Princess Emma. Meanwhile, the woman proceeds to swiftly walk to the door but a yelling voice stops her.*
**Paesant:** Hey! It's the Evil Queen!
*Chaos breaks in the tavern. Multiple people start to yell out of fear and Robin, after throwing a few coins, runs after the Queen.*

*SCENE: Wish Realm. Past. Outside of tavern. The Queen reunites with Robin but freezes at the sight of his son, who's wearing an armor and his face full of rage, riding a horse and accompanied by Royal Guards.*

**Serum Queen:** Henry...
*The boy grits his teeth at the sight of the Queen.*
**Sir Henry:** There she is! The Evil Queen who murdered the Royal family!
**Serum Queen:** *(whispers to herself)* Dammit, Regina. What did you do?
**Robin of Locksley:** *(takes the Queen's hand)* Come on, we have to run!
**Serum Queen:** No need to, I know where to go.
*The Queen waves her hand and poofs away. The two then end up in front of a palace.*
**Robin of Locksley:** Oh, yeah, forgot you could travel faster than us normal people.
*The Queen is lost in her thoughts but Robin's voice snaps her out if it.*
**Serum Queen:** Right...
**Robin of Locksley:** Anyway, is this what I think it is?
**Serum Queen:** Yes, the Evil Queen's Palace.

*SCENE: Present time. The United Realms. Storybrooke. Mills House. Sir Henry exchange looks between Regina and the Queen.*

**Sir Henry:** Yeah, you weren't the killer... *(stares then at Regina, who gulps and looks away)*
**Serum Queen:** It was all my fault, Henry. Your Enchanted Forest was created out of my desire to destroy Emma.
*The boy then looks at the Queen. He bites his lips and with tears in his eyes, but doesn't want to show them.*
**Serum Queen:** My wish had bigger consequences than everyone could think. More than twenty-eight years passed as a mere second to us and this influenced events in other worlds too. *(tears start to roll down her eyes too)* I want you to forgive me and I understand why it is so sudden for you but Regina gave us a new opportunity. A happy beginning, for both of us.
*The Queen and Henry look at each other intensely. She gives her hand.*
**Serum Queen:** Can we be a family?
*Henry is feeling a vortex of emotion right now. The most promiment are sadness and pain.*
**Sir Henry:** I will never forget what happened and I know it is difficult for me but...
*He smiles and accepts, deciding to hug the Queen. Regina smiles and is happy about how the events have turned, mentally sighing of relief.*
**Sir Henry:** I... I gotta go to work.
**Serum Queen:** Sure. Be careful.
*Sir Henry leaves. Regina puts her hand on the Queen's shoulder.*
**Regina:** I'm proud of you.
*The Queen smiles.*

*SCENE: The United Realms. Storybrooke. Storybrooke Sheriff's Department. It's a beautiful morning and Emma Swan and David Nolan are talking.*

**David:** *(laughs)*So Hook is at home babysitting Hope?
**Emma:** Yeah, I stayed awake all night because of her. Now it's his turn! *(giggles)* But it is only temporary. We have to find a babysitter so that he can come back to work.
**David:** Margot told me that she would love to help.
**Emma:** Margot? *(raises an eyebrow but realizes soon who she is)* Oh, Robin! Sorry but I still find it hard to believe that there has been a curse once again right under our noses.
**David:** And it was a time travel spell at the same time!
*Sir Henry steps in and clears his throat. Emma and David notice him.*
**Emma:** *(smiles)* Hey, kid.
**Sir Henry:** Hi, mom.
*It is still unusual for him how his mother still looked the same but yet so different.*
**Sir Henry:** *(points at her red jacket)* The jacket from the coronation.
**Emma:** You like it, don't you?
**Sir Henry:** It's cute.
**Emma:** Good. You'll see it a lot.
*A few minutes later, David, who had left, had come back.*
**David:** Emma. Henry. We gotta go. There is a problem.
**Emma:** What is it?
**David:** Someone has been strangled by what seems to be enchanted plans.
**Emma:** Wait, what?
**David:** Yeah, pretty weird but this isn't the first time something weird happens in this town.
*They all head towards the scene of the crime.*

*SCENE: The United Realms. Storybrooke. Clock tower street. Tilly and Margot are walking arm-in-arm and enjoying the morning.*

**Tilly:** So your mother is giving Chad a tour of the United Realms?
**Margot:** Yeah, he said that he was excited to visit 'Disneyland'.
**Tilly:** *(smiles and raises an eyebrow)* Disneyland, what is it?
**Margot:** *(giggles)* I'll show you one day.
**Tilly:** *(winks)* I should show you Wonderland first.
*The two kiss passionately.*
**Margot:** Hey, I thought your father was going to join us soon at Granny's.**Tilly:** Actually, he won't because the other Hook asked him for help with baby Hope.
**Margot:** *(laughs)* I wish I could see them. The baby would be so confused!
*The two girls laugh and continue to walk until an arrow comes out of nowhere and barely miss their faces.*
**Tilly:** What the..?!
*Margot turns around and wides her eyes at the person. The latter smirks.*
**Robin of Locksley:** Hello, Robin.

*SCENE: Wish Realm. Past. The Queen has fixed the old palace by using magic. Robin is wandering around.*

**Robin of Locksley:** Wow, this is the first time I see it like this. I entered once to steal some jewels but they were gone.
**Serum Queen:** You hadn't been fast enough.
*The two visit the bedroom and the Queen senses something bad.*
**Serum Queen:** I have the feeling something bad happened here.
**Robin of Locksley:** This place is a mess so I wouldn't be surprised. Probably a fight or something.
*The Queen bites her lip as she can't shake off this feeling but decides to clean up the place with her magic. After a few hours, Robin leaves for hunting and as she looks at her mirror, a familiar voice giggles. She turns around as she sees Rumplestiltskin.*
**Rumplestiltskin (Wish Realm):** Surprise, dearie.
**Serum Queen:**  *(shocked)* Rumplestilskin?!
**Rumplestiltskin (Wish Realm):** Look who has decided to get herself killed today!
*The Queen is confused, Rumple comes closer but frowns.*
**Rumplestiltskin (Wish Realm):** You are not her...
**Serum Queen:** Who?
**Rumplestiltskin (Wish Realm):** The other you.
**Serum Queen:** Regina? What the heck she did with you?
**Rumplestiltskin (Wish Realm):** Mmmh, something that you should know. Or maybe not! *(giggles)* Anyway, I was going to snap your neck but I decided to change my mind.
*Rumple gives to her a magic bean.*
**Serum Queen:** Why are you doing this?
**Rumplestiltskin (Wish Realm):** Because fate has something worse planned for you, dearie. *(creepily laughs)* Enjoy life as much as you can!
*As he disappears, the Queen is even more confused by what had just happened. She stares at the bean, unsure about what to do.*

*SCENE: The United Realms. Present time. Storybrooke. Emma, David and Sir Henry step out of Emma's yellow bug. The scene of the crime is the old Any Given Sundae, who has recently been converted into a do-it-yourself shop.*

**David:** So it happened here... *(turns to Emma)* Are you okay?
*Emma closes her eyes and thinks about all the memories she had with Ingrid. She misses her a lot.*
**Emma:** Y-Yes.
**Sir Henry:** *(confused)* What happened here?
**Emma:** A long story with a friend who is not with us anymore. Now let's go.
*The three of them enter and are shocked at the weird and creepy sight. The body of the shop owner has been wrapped tight by weird-looking pink thorny plants.*
**Sir Henry:** Is this magic?!
**David:** I have never seen anything like this before.
*Emma kneels down and carefully examine the plants.*
**Emma:** They didn't raise from the ground.
*Emma notices that one of the objects in the room is glowing.*
**Emma:** The source of the plants!
*From all the mirrors, one of them is glowing and the plants come from there.*
**David:** A looking glass.
*David comes closer and touches the mirror. Suddenly, more plans show up and wrap the three. Emma tries to cast a spell to free them but it's useless.*

*SCENE: Wish Realm. Past. Evil Queen's Palace. Three days have passed and the Queen and Robin are exhausted. Ever since they moved there, villagers have been trying to burn down the palace but each time they failed because of the protection spell that has been cast.*

**Robin of Locksley:** This is bad, we can't keep going like this.
**Serum Queen:** *(grits teeth)*It has to be Rumplestiltskin's fault. He wanted me dead but for some reason he spared me.
**Robin of Locksley:** Or Sir Henry's. Or both and maybe cooperated?
*The Queen doesn't see a reason as to why Henry would cooperate with the Dark One in this world but can't accept the fact that her son was trying to kill her. And it was all her fault because of that stupid wish.*
**Serum Queen:** *(realizes)* The bean.
**Robin of Locksley:** Huh?
**Serum Queen:** Robin, we have to use to bean and escape this world.
**Robin of Locksley:** Sorry, do you want to go back to Storybrooke? I'm not really sure if I am ready to come back there.
**Serum Queen:** No, not there. We are going to the other Enchanted Forest. *(reassures Robin)* It's okay, it's geographically exactly the same to this one.
*Robin accepts and the two use the bean, opening a portal.*
**Serum Queen:** *(whispers to herself)* Goodbye, Henry.

*SCENE: The Enchanted Forest. Past. Outside of the Evil Queen's Palace. Robin and the Queen have jumped inside the portal and found themselves outside of the palace. Robin is looking around.*

**Robin:** Wow, it was really like you said. So weird...
**Serum Queen:** Without Zelena and her flying monkeys, the palace has been uninhabitated for a while. Time to get it back.
*The two of them settle and are ready for a new life here. Robin kisses the Queen.*
**Serum Queen:** *(smiles and blushes)* Wow.
**Robin of Locksley:** *(smiles back)* No need to say anything.
**Serum Queen:** Well, now that we are in this world, there's something I have to tell you.
**Robin of Locksley:** What is it?
**Serum Queen:** About someone you should meet. It's... his son. The other Robin. He's here.
*Robin doesn't speak.*
**Robin of Locksley:** I understand. This reality is different than mine.
**Serum Queen:** After the death of his father, Roland and others left Storybrooke to come back here. Considering you now are here too, I think it'd be the best for both of you.
**Robin of Locksley:** Yeah. Yeah. He deserves to know. Where is he?
**Serum Queen:** With the Merry Men.

*SCENE: The United Realms. Present time. Royal Castle. Regina is here, using her magic to form a map of the whole United Realms. She's analyzing the other magical realms that have been brought in by the curse and that she should visit. Suddenly, a figure surrounded by a pink aura comes behind her.*

**Regina:** Who is it?!
*The figure is revealed to be a young red-haired woman, dressed in a purple shirt with a green skirt and small green wings. The necklace she is wearing is glowing.*
**Regina:**  *(frowns)* Who the heck are you?
**Will Vandom**: I am Will Vandom, one of the five Guardians of Kandrakar. I am here to kill the Evil Queen.
