Recap
Emma Swan unexpectedly reunites with the son she gave up for adoption a decade ago. She drives him back to his home in Storybrooke, Maine where he lives with his adoptive mother who is also the mayor of Storybrooke: Regina Mills. While this quiet and seemingly peaceful town seems to be very straightforward, Emma has no idea that all the residents in town are actually storybook characters, cursed and brought to this world from another realm called the Enchanted Forest, who have forgotten who they are. Emma is also unaware that Regina is the one who cast the curse, and remembers everything. Regina feels threatened with Henry's birth mother coming to town, and eventually threatens Emma, telling her to leave or she will destroy her. However, this just prompts Emma to stay.
