They break into a home and make videos and hang out until Lily’s father shows up to bring her home. Turns out that Lily had lied about her family history and Emma feels betrayed and doesn’t take her number to contact her.
Elsa Overcomes Her Fear
This week wasn’t strong on the Frozen front. While Emma went to get Regina’s help, Elsa followed what she thought was Anna, but it led her to the Snow Queen. She chained Elsa to the ground with ice and told her the more frightened she is the tighter the chains will be. She eventually over comes her fears and is freed.
