Alexa's nerves were on high alert as she and her parents waited for Emma and Henry to arrive back home. Watching as the pirate ship rolled into sight, she's filled with a huge amount of relief.

"Emma." Alexa breathes hugging her sister. "Thank god you're back."

"Are you okay?" Mary Margret asks.

"Yeah, yeah. We're alright." Emma nods.

"I drove a ship." Henry grins.

"Did you now?" David inquires.

"Yeah, my dad showed me how." Henry answers.

"That's me." Neal states.

"Neal." Alexa calls causing him to turn to her, and she hugs him. "It's good to see you when, you know, you're not having my sister thrown in jail."

"I never wanted that to happen." Neal frowns.

"I know, Emma told me." Alexa replies. "And I get it, even if the way you went about it sucks."

"Is Cora trying to control you with the dagger?" David questions.

"Well, you'd know if she was because most of you would be dead by now." Gold informs them.

"You okay?" Emma asks, making everyone's attention turn to the old man.

"Ah, I'm beginning to feel a bit stronger. Take me back to my shop, there's magic there that can protect us." Gold tells her.

"Let me guess, I get to go with Ruby." Henry muses.

"You got it, kid." Emma smiles.

"I'll keep him out of the crossfire." Ruby assures her friends.

"Thank you." Alexa grins. "For everything."

"Don't look so worried, you'll stop Cora. You won't let her get away." Henry says.

"Let's hope so." Alexa mutters.

Alexa scurries around for a glass jar with a metal top. Gold had said that it would help them with keeping out Cora and Regina. Opening a small drawer she finds it, but it was empty. Getting back on her feet she walks to the back room.

"Alexa, did you find it?" Gold inquires.

"It's empty." Alexa retorts shaking it, when suddenly a rattling can be heard from inside the jar. Reaching inside she feels something as if she was holding a piece of chalk. "What the hell is this?"
