Before Emma Arrives
Anya decides to once again steal Owen Tosto's phone and brags about it on her social media profile. A local Storybrooke resident, Arthur Knight, reminds her that she should probably keep a low profile about stealing another person's phone. Anya, it seems, has a reputation, and is risking getting in trouble with the adults looking after her at the orphanage. Anya dismisses his concerns and they begin to open debate about the orphanage's shortcomings. Mr. Knight promises to see what he can do to make things a little better for her and the other children.

One of the ‘brats’ as stole something that belongs to Anya and is refusing to give it back to her. Elise Vevina suggests asking for it back but Anya says she doubts he’d give it up if she did.

Anya is called into the office about her inappropriate behavior. She is rude and toward her teachers. However, she is not suspended and just given a warning.
