Admissions: Yeah, you and everybody else.

Gideon: But then I thought about my father, the Dark Oneā
Gideon: āwho saved me by killing my grandmother, the Black Fairyā

Gideon: ābut I can only hope he excelled in his studies, being the son of both the Savior (neeā Emma), and the Evil Queen (neeā Regina).
Gideon: In the words of my fairy godmother, the Blue Fairyā
Gideon:Ā āGo far away, and learn something.ā In short, heroes can come from the most unexpected of places, and Iām sure if you let me into your hallowed halls I can but try to emulate my ancestors.
