Sasha's POV:

We revisit the Temple of Zeus that next night because Hercules wants to tell his father everything that has happened, "You should have been there,Father. I mangled the Minotaur,grappled with the Gorgon."

Hercules, "Just like Phil and Sasha told me. I analyzed the situation,controlled my strength and kicked. The crowds went wild!" Zeus, "You are doing great,son. You are making your old man proud."

Hercules, "I'm glad to hear you say that,Father. I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Zeus, "What day is that,son?" I feel bad for Hercules, "The day I rejoin the gods."

Zeus, "You've done wonderfully. You really have,my boy. You're just not there,yet. You haven't proven yourself a true hero." Hercules' smile disappears when his father says that.

Hercules, "But,Father,I've beaten every single monster I've come up against. I'm the most famous person in all of Greece. I'm an action figure!"

Zeus, "I'm afraid being famous isn't the same as being a true hero" Hercules, "What more do I have to do?" Zeus, "It's something that you have to discover for yourself?"

Hercules, "But how can I?" Zeus, "Look inside your heart" Zeus turns back into a statue before Hercules continues. Herc is angry at what his father said.

I hug him and rub his back as he leans into my embrace, but the next morning isn't any better than the previous night,as Hercules poses for a picture.

Hercules grows frustrated as the lunatic artist leaves. Phil, "What do you mean, 'What's the point?' You want to go to Olympus,don't you?" Hercules, "Yeah,but this stuff doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere."

Phil, "You can't give up now. We are counting on you" Hercules, "I gave this everything I had" Phil, "Listen to me,kid. This is the pure honest truth-You've got something I've never seen before. I can feel it in these stubby bow legs of mine. There is nothing you can't do,kid."

I walk away to take a nap for a while,but I am awakened by Phil and Pegasus,saying that Hercules is missing. We fly to the gardens and that is where we find Hercules with Megara:

Phil, "Break it up! Break it up! Party's over! We've been looking all over town for your sorry ass!" Meg, "It was all my fault" Phil, "You're already on my list,sister so don't make it worse!"

Phil reminds me of Leroy back in Storybrooke. Phil, "And,as for you,you bum. You are going back to the stadium and you are going to be put through the workout of your life!"

I don't miss it when Hercules gives her that tiny white peony flower and when he kisses her on the cheek before we fly off to the stadium, but Phil accidentally gets knocked off a tree branch and he falls off Pegasus.
