In his castle's library, Rumplestiltskin lights a candle over a shawl that once belonged to Baelfire. When Belle enters the room with a basket of flowers, Rumplestitlskin tells her to go away. She apologizes, not having realized that he was carrying out a remembrance, and Rumple explains that it's his son's birthday. Belle wonders how old he would be now, but Rumple tells her that he's not dead, he's just "lost". She doesn't understand what this means and asks how this came to be, and Rumple tells her that it was due to his cowardice. She assures him that it's not too late for him to redeem himself, but Rumplestiltskin denies this, stating that his ending will not be a happy one. ("Going Home")
