What, you? No way. It's Cora that's got me worried. Her, Hook, and that guy from the hospital that's been hanging around.

[unvarnished]

Oh... Yeah, I agree. They need to go yesterday.

[mantle]

If only we knew what they're up to exactly. Then at least we could make a move of our own. I hate all this waiting around. It's too much like being trapped.

Cora's motivations are easy to guess: she wants to kill the Charmings and gain Gold's powers as the Dark One. Hook's all about vengeance. That stranger, though... I have no ideas on him.

[mantle]

Mm. What did he say his name was? Mendel?

[unvarnished]

Think so. Greg Mendel. [don't ask how he knows everything that's going on shhh]

[mantle]

I feel... I don't know. Like I've heard that name somewhere else before. In a book, maybe.

[unvarnished]

You're thinking of Gregor Mendel. His work initiated the modern science of genetics. [also don't ask why he knows that. He reads a lot]
