The episode begins in the fairy tale world where a play with puppets is going on. The onlookers are enjoying it as the puppet princess goes on about wishing. As the onlookers watch the play, a young boy picks their pockets.

Shoot to a carriage. Outside the carriage., the boy gives the money he’s stolen to his parents, Harry (played by Harry Groener) and Myrna (played by Carolyn Hennesy), the ones who put on the puppet show. The boy finds a cricket and talks about how it's free to do whatever it wants. Harry and Myrna tell the boy that he is free to do whatever he wants as well. Then, the boy says that he doesn’t want to steal anymore, “Maybe I want to be good.” Harry tells the boy, who he calls "Jiminy,"’ “Good is another word for weak. You are who you are and there’s no changing it.” Jiminy agrees with Harry but looks sad.

Shoot to Henry having a therapy session with Archie (Jiminy.) Henry asks Archie if he was always a cricket. Archie asks Henry why he thinks he’s Jiminy Cricket. Henry says, “It’s because of who you are. You’re a conscience. You help people see right from wrong.” Archie then asks Henry if all the crickets in Storybrooke were once people too. Henry says there aren’t any other crickets in Storybrooke, there never have been. Archie then asks Henry if he believes that is proof of the curse. Henry says yes but he knows he needs more proof. Archie then asks Henry why it’s so important for him to believe the curse is real. Henry says simply, “It just is.” Archie asks Henry to keep thinking about the answer to his question “because I think there’s something buried there.
