In a deleted scene from Heroes and Villains, while Regina is having a meal at Granny's Diner, Henry comes in and informs her that they're still stuck in Storybrooke despite Ingrid's death. Regina says that she's heard thanks to the dwarves. Henry then tries to convince his mother to continue Operation Mongoose, to which Regina answers that she's done chasing her happy ending and that whoever the Author is, they don't want to be found. Henry says that he refuses to believe that, which makes Regina smile and say that he doesn't have to worry about her. She then instructs him to go to work at his grandfather's pawnshop before it gets too late.
