Adilyn's entire body felt constricted and aching, like she needed to move, needed to close a gap she wasn't even aware mattered. She had to open that door. She had to help Jessica. She had to reel her in.

There still existed a small part of her that wished she had perished in Truman Burrell's twisted internment camp. That same small part reveled in the burn of the rising sun now as she stood her ground against the sickly vampire that sought to taste the daylight in the magical blood of the girl Jessica vowed to protect.

The attic door clicked closed again as Adilyn's back pressed into it, the shadows curling in around her so that nothing was visible beyond the strangely bright glimmer of Jessica's blue, blue eyes.

Emma senses that something isn't quite right about Robin Hood and his budding relationship with Regina. She begins to investigate and discovers the dark truth of Robin's deadly plan, leading to an altercation with the man that results in his death at Emma's hands.
