Astrid followed behind David with Emma and Snow behind her as the four entered inside of their home, Emma starting, "I'm sorry. Regina's doing what!?"

David sighed once Snow closed the door behind them, "She's going undercover."

"With someone who could turn into a dragon? Are you out of your minds? Why didn't you call me?" Emma continued to question their parents.

"There wasn't time," David replied, "She told us the plan, and that was it."

"You should've told us," Emma told them while gesturing to herself and Astrid beside her.

"Why?" Snow spoke up curiously, "You really think you two could've stopped her?"

"I could've helped. I was a bail bonds person. Pretending to be someone else was part of my job." Emma simply commented.

"I know that, but I really think Regina can take care of herself," Snow assured.

"I know she can, but I hope this isn't gonna backfire on us." Astrid spoke up with a light sigh, "When is she supposed to check in?"

David and Snow shared a wary look between one another before glancing back at their daughters who widened their eyes at them.

"Mom? Dad?" Emma started, repeating her sister, "When is she supposed to check in?"

David reluctantly answered, "About an hour ago."

Astrid glared at her parents and lost her cool briefly, saying, "Are you bloody kidding me? You let her go in and face these three witches by herself?"

"Regina will be okay. She always is." Snow assured their teenager who then left back out of the loft and began the search for the former Evil Queen.

"I'm with Astrid on this," Emma agreed and followed after her sister.

Both Emma and Astrid was about to enter inside of Granny's until Hook exited the diner and stopped them, Astrid speaking up first, "You find anything?"

"Well, a burnt table, broken bottles, and a very irate Granny," Hook sighed, adding, "Apparently, Regina and the witches drank the place dry. I'd say she won them over."

"Maybe that's what they wanted her to bloody think," Astrid replied anxiously.

Hook placed an assuring, fatherly hand on the girl's shoulder and said, "Look, Kid, I know you're worried, but we don't even know what happened yet."
