Less than twenty-four hours after being rescued from a mine, and Doctor Archie Hopper is back at the office nursing an earned hangover with ginger ale and aspirin while going over patient file for the day.

In Storybrooke, things have gone back to their normal routine as they always did. His first patient ins't for an hour, so he takes the opportunity to close his eyes and pointedly not think about what had happened the day before.

There's significance in the wisdom of a child, even more in one like Henry. It's no small matter that Archie Hopper's moment of illumination came at the bottom of a mine shaft where they both could have died.

And above all, there's the very real significance that he's stood up to the one person in Storybrooke, outside of perhaps Mr. Gold whom he only associates with when absolutely necessary, that could crush him like a bug.

Yet, once Marco has bid him goodnight he and Pongo return to the office and a stack of files. And mostly full bottle of scotch, leading to a tumbler of scotch... and quite naturally a belly of scotch as he considers the decisions he's made.
