Once Upon A Time Season 3 Episode 14 The Tower
I think we open on David's dream since he's in the Enchanted forest, wearing olde timey clothing and teaching a ball gowned Emma how to dance - by which I mean dancing perfectly with her. It ends as a nightmare as dream Emma says she should have had all this - but didn't get it because he failed her. Dream Emma is sucked into a portal saying "don't fail the next one".

So, daddy guilt. Apparently this was a dream before the enchanted sleep because he wakes with Snow telling him the news - and he looking all kinds of worried about it.

9 months later to the present and Storybrooke and brainstorming a way to find the Wicked Witch. First off, Regina insists that Henry needs a guard - and that guard is going to be her. While babysitting henry they talk about Emma, her boyfriend, New York - and the fact that Henry would like a larger family and that he's not so foolish as to think Emma has come here just on a case.

The Wicked Witch, Zelina still has a rather unstable Rumplestiltskin prisoner - and controls him using his dagger which she got her hands on. Dagger or not, I still think there are safer pets to keep - like rattlesnakes. She shaves him while sharing an anecdote about her drunken father and his need to keep up appearances (if she does know how to shave she'd know that wavy bladed knife is going to be absolutely useless). Keeping up appearances is a sore subject for Zelina who, when not cursed, has bright green skin.

She goes to Rumple's shop and while distracting Belle in the back, uses Rumple's blood to break into his safe and steal something wizened and ugly.

At Regina's office they examine for traces of Zelina and David finds Holly berries (which he recognises the taste of... which I wouldn't advise because Holly is poisonous. So David regularly eats poisoned berries enough to recognise the taste?) which he happily knows where it grows - but Emma and Hook will go without him because David has to meet Mary Margaret's new midwife (Zalina) which he isn't happy about because of his baby angst.

Which calls for a flashback - to just after breaking into the castle last week; Charming sneaks into his stables where he hides his booze and Robin comments on his own illicit boozing. Charming talks about his fatherhood worries so Robin Hood tells him of a root you can chew to relieve your fears. Charming is quick and eager to enter the haunted forest to chew on the nice narcotic root and make him a better father.

He shows up for the meeting with Zelina who is just perfect and Mary Margaret loves her - but David is just a little more suspicious since she's a complete stranger with no references they're trusting. Zelina makes tea - and puts some of the root Robin just told us about in David's drink (the root she stole from Rumple's shop).
