The last time she's seen him, he'd been wiped free of the curse. His heart had been turned completely white, but he was lying unconscious and likely unable to wake for some time. If ever. So much had happened in such a short amount of time, all of it made her head spin. She had come into his shop so angry and hurt, but by the end of it, she was broken hearted and struggling to believe that he would come back.

But where did it leave them? And how was she going to reconcile all of her memories of Wonderland to what happened in Storybrooke. She had experienced banishing him from the town. Her relationship with Will and Rumpel's return. The loss of her heart from Regina and then the new Happy Endings written by the author. Where did all of that fit into what happened here in Wonderland.

There was little time to question any of it. As soon as she returns, she spots the rifts into the mirror realm. She knows at once that Rumpel is either responsible for it or simply taking advantage of the situation. It was where she would find him and where she heads without a second thought.

It takes a great deal of searching before she spies him. She doesn't know how to speak to him, even as she approaches. All she can do is stare and hope he recognizes her for herself and not a mirror.
