Back in Storybrooke, Regina was shown to be home in her office, packing her things up before she was soon suddenly given a phone call. She then answered her cell phone, then smiled once she heard who was on the other line. "Henry! I'm just packing up the office. I've been asked to leave. Once your sister comes back home, I'll let her decide if she wants to come or not."

There was then an answer on the other line.

"No, of course it can wait," Regina then said as she sounded a bit brighter now. "I'd love to have lunch with you."

There was then another answer heard.

"Granny's. 10 minutes." Regina then nodded before she hung up before grabbing her purse and leaving so that she could go and have lunch with Henry with possibly the very last time.

Once the coast was clear, however, Dee Dee appeared from behind one of the side doors. She looked around, then gave a thumb's up behind her, prompting Henry to come out after her once Regina was out of sight. "What're we looking for?" she then asked her friend once they snuck inside.

"We need a key. A very special key." Henry replied as he walked into the room.

"Oh. Okay." Dee Dee then said before she began to look around with Henry.

Henry then looked inside one of the drawers of a filing cabinet, then found a ring of keys.

"Which one is the right key?" Dee Dee asked.

"They'll probably do just fine," Henry replied. "They're skeleton keys."

Dee Dee then gasped, suddenly looking spooked out by that name. "Does that mean they belong to The Grim Reaper?" she then asked fearfully.

"No, Dee Dee," Henry said with a laugh, though not laughing at his friend before he explained more to her. "That just means they can open just about any door."

"Ohh..." Dee Dee said, now understanding.

"Now come on. Let's go see Mom's vault while there's still time." Henry then told Dee Dee.

"Right." Dee Dee said, nodding in agreement before following after her best friend.

Soon, they left the mansion and began to travel around deep in the bowels of Storybrooke. Henry then gave the keys to Dee Dee before taking out his book to use as a guide.

"Is The Evil Queen's vault in your book?" Dee Dee asked.

"Of course it is," Henry nodded. "This book has just about everything, but I'm still trying to find your story, Dee Dee. Don't worry though, I'll find it one of these days for you."

"I just hope it's a story with a happily ever after." Dee Dee said softly.

"Don't worry, you're going to live happily ever after," Henry smiled. "Especially since the curse is broken."
