In 1983, Kurt Flynn and his young son Owen are camping in the Maine woods when they stumble upon Storybrooke.
Owen vows never to stop looking for his father, while Regina weeps as she reaches out to him from inside Storybrooke.
Emma reveals that Mary Margaret had a role in Cora's death, but Henry doesn't believe Snow White would hurt someone.
Regina tells Henry that he means too much to her for her to lose him; he asks her to prove it by not casting the curse.
She insists that the imitation of love created by the curse will make them happy, but he refuses her offer, his response echoing Owen's in 1983.
