Past, The Enchanted Forest, The Evil Queen's prison.

Still locked in the dungeon, Prince Charming is attempting to break the lock of his cell.

He beats a rock against the lock, with no success.

Refusing to give up, Prince Charming vows,
" I will find you, Snow. I will always find you."

Just then, two guards approach and unlock the cell as one of them says," It'll be hard to do that without your head. Get up, the Queen is looking forward to your execution."

The guards escort Prince Charming down a hallway.

At that moment, Prince Charming drops onto the ground, prompting the second guard to order,
" Get up! On your feet."

Just as he closes in, Prince Charming snatched the sword out of the guard's hilt, swinging it across the guard's neck before slamming his elbow into the other, knocking him unconscious.

With his opponents defeated, Prince Charming dashes down the hallway.

Suddenly  another guard pops out, drawing a bow.

Prince Charming quickly turns back the way he came, encountering a fourth guard.

The guard orders," Shoot him."

The guard fires his arrow, only for it to hit  the other guard instead.

Confused, Prince Charming looks at him, questioning," Who the hell are you?"

The guard removes his helmet, revealing himself to be the Huntsman as he answers," A friend."

Prince Charming looks at him, not recognising him,
" I don't know you."

The Huntsman spoke," But I know Snow White."

" Is she okay?" Prince Charming asks.

The Huntsman explains as he removes the Prince's shackles," The Queen was traveling to meet her. Her fate is in a precarious place. We must hurry. Follow me, I can get you out. I'll try and stall the Queen. The rest is up to you."

He hands Charming his sword and some supplies," Your weapon, and some provisions. Good luck."

" You're not coming with me?" Prince Charming ask.

The Huntsman shakes his head," I cannot. I gave up my heart so that the Queen would spare Snow's. Don't let my sacrifice be in vain. Find Zatara. He will know what to do."

Present, Storybrooke, Storybrooke Hospital.

Henry Mills is being rushed into the ICU on a stretcher, with Emma Swan by his side.

Emma shakes the still unconscious boy, after recently getting off the phone with Zatanna as she cries," Henry, can you hear me? Come on Henry, wake up, please! Come on Henry. Come on, you can do it!"

A nurse tries to pull Emma away, saying," Ma'am, you need to..."

Emma pushes her away," No, I am not going anywhere. Henry!"

At the same time, Dr. Whale examines Henry, asking," There's no pupil response. What happened, did he fall? Hit his head?"

Emma shows Dr. Whale the apple turnover, saying to him in desperation," He ate this. I think it's poisoned."

Dr. Whale examines him again and he asks," His airway's clear. Did he vomit? Any convulsions or disorientation?"

" He took a bite of this and then he just collapsed!" Emma begs," So run the tests for arsenic or bleach or Drano or whatever could have done this to him!"

Dr. Whale disagrees," The boy is showing no symptoms that would suggest neurotoxins. So whatever's going on..."

He takes the turnover from Emma, concluding,
" THIS is not the culprit!"

" Well what else could it be?!" Emma demands out.

Dr. Whale shakes his head in exasperation as he grumbles in frustration," I don't know. That's what I'm trying to find out."

Emma asks him quietly," He's gonna be okay though, right?"

Dr. Whale answer," Right now we just need to stabilize him, 'cause he's slipping away. Is there anything else that you can remember, any little detail?"

" I already told you everything. DO something!"
She dumps out Henry's backpack on a bed in frustration as Dr. Whale tries to reason with her," Look, I understand you're frustrated Miss Swan. I do, but I need something to treat. Right now there is no explanation. It's like..."

" ...like magic." Emma finishes his sentence, leaving Dr. Whale alone to tend to Henry.

She picks up the "Once Upon a Time" storybook. The title on the book glows, and flashes of Prince Charming taking baby Emma to the wardrobe and placing her inside went through her head.

Her eyes widens, dawning on her that all this fairy tale "nonsense" her son told her. All those times of Zatanna "playing along" are all true. Graham's death was no accident.

She was the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. She was adopted by the great magician himself. Regina is the Evil Queen.

And her sister Zatanna is a real deal magician.

Just then, Regina Mills arrives at the hospital, questioning out," Where's my son!?"

Her face filled with fury, Emma growls," You did this."

" No." Regina shakes her head.

Ignoring her, Emma roughly grabs Regina by the arm and forces her into a supply closet.

Punching and slamming her into the shelves,
Emma shouts at Regina accusingly," You did this!"

Regina shouts," What the hell are you doing!? Stop this, my son..."

" Is sick because of you! That apple turnover you gave me—he ate it!" Emma screams.

" What?" Regina widens her eyes in shock, shouting at Emma," It was meant for you!"

Emma questions," It's true isn't it?"

" What are you talking about?" " It's true isn't it!? All of it."

Regina looks down, quietly nodding," Yes."

Emma looks at her in distraught, asking her," We were leaving town, why couldn't you just leave things alone?"

" Because as long as you're alive, Henry will never be mine." Regina answers bitterly only for Emma to demand," He will never be anyone's unless you fix this. You wake him up!"

" I can't!" Regina cries out as Emma demands," Don't you have magic?"

Regina shakes her head, tears welling in her eyes as she explains," That was the last of it. It was supposed to put you to sleep!"

" What's it gonna do to him?"Emma asks as Regina answer," I don't know. Magic here is unpredictable."

The blood in Emma runs cold as she draws to a conclusion," So... so he could..."

" Yes." Regina sadly whispers.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Pushing Regina back, Emma opens it only to find Zatanna standing outside.

" Sis..." Emma says as Zatanna smugly boasts," Told you so!"

Zatanna then turns to Regina," Now I don't know how you got that magic to get that apple but hurting your son like that? That's low even for you."

Regina looks down in shame as Emma asks," Do you know how to help?"

Zatanna explains," Aside from Regina, no one else in there knows about magic. Except for our friends August and Mr. Gold."

" Don't you have magic?" Emma asked," Can't you fix him?"

Zatanna shakes her head," Used to but we're in a land without magic thanks to her so I cannot do a thing about it but for Henry, I suggest we go to the only other person in this town who knows about it besides the two of us."

Emma blinks as she questioned," Wait. You said Mr. Gold, you don't mean..."

" Yup. Mr. Gold. Also known as The Dark One and Rumplestiltskin. My father's enemy." Zatanna answers.

Past, The Enchanted Forest, The Dark Palace.

Inside the chamber, the Evil Queen paces around in rage as the Huntsman arrives, prompting her to demand," Where is he? The prisoner!"

" Escaped." The Huntsman answers, causing the Evil Queen to  blasts him against the wall with her magic.

Storming toward him., she questioned out," A palace full of guards, and you let him escape?"

The Huntsman lied," I did my best."

" You failed! And do you know what happens to people who fail me, Huntsman?" The Evil Queen growls as The Huntsman promises," I'll find him. You needn't worry. Leave him to me."

The Queen, looks into a mirror, showing Prince Charming running along the beach as she says," That won't be necessary. He's mine."

With that, she transports him with her magic, sending Prince Charming into the Infinite Forest.

Past, The Enchanted Forest, Infinite Forest

Prince Charming looks around, confused at his sudden change of location.

he looks around briefly before running off. He comes to a clearing.

" Lost, are we?" A voice says, Prince Charming to turn, seeing Rumplestilskin standing behind him," What are you doing here?"

Rumplestiltskin simply says," I'm just here to help."

Prince Charming rejects his offer," Well, no need. I'll be fine."

Rumplestiltskin however, disagrees with him," No I don't think so. This is the Infinite Forest. There's no way out. Well, except... my way."

" I want nothing from you." Prince Charming rejects him

" Not even this?" Prince Charming looks back, noticing Rumplestilskin holding up his mother's ring

" My mother's ring.. it was just..."Prince Charming checks his purse and he asks," How did you get it!?"

Rumplestiltskin explains," The same way I get everything I want.. magic! The same magic that allows me to do..."

He tosses the ring into the air and catches it," This."

The ring now glows brightly and Rumplestilskin explains," This ring is now enchanted. The closer you get to Snow White, the brighter it will glow. Interested?"

Prince Charming takes a step toward him, demanding for the ring," Give it to me."

However, Rumplestiltskin refuses," Ah! It's not something for nothing, dearie! Time to make a deal."

" No! No more deals!" Prince Charming attempts to attack Rumplestiltskin, who easily dodges him.

Rumplestiltskin appears behind him, with a sword.

" Over here!" Rumplestilskin giggles.

The pair clashes swords briefly and Rumplestiltskin appears behind Prince Charming, remarking out," Persistent."

The fight continues as Rumplestilskin parries Prince Charming's swing before swinging his hand out, slapping him across the face," Had enough?"

Prince Charming wipes the blood off his mouth and he screams out," Never!"

The fight continues, Prince Charming closes in and he swings his sword, scratching Rumplestiltskin's face.

Rumplestiltskin staggers back, wincing in pain and he puts his hand over his bleeding scar, healing it with his magic.

The fight continues, Rumplestiltskin throws Prince Charming against a tree with his magic.

Prince Charming rolls onto his back on the ground, and Rumplestiltskin stands over him with his sword at his neck," Looking for this? So brave.. so gallant. So pointless. Bravery won't get you out of this forest, dearie. Magic will. Trust me. This is a deal you want to make, because we both want the same thing."

" What's that?" Prince Charming questions out and Rumplestiltskin simply answers," Why, you and your true love to be together, of course. Hmm?"

Present, Storybrooke, Granny's Diner.

Outside of Granny's Diner, Mary Margaret Blanchard is approaching her car when David Nolan approaches.

" Hey." David greets her and Mary Margaret turns to look at him," David."

David says to her," I was wrong... About you, about me. About... everything. I didn't believe in you, and I wish I had a good reason why... But it's like I keep making these wrong decisions, and I don't understand why they keep happening. You know, ever since I woke up from that coma, my life hasn't made a lick of sense. Except for you, and what I'm feeling... It's love, Mary Margaret."

" David, why are you here?" Mary Margaret questions out and David explains it to her," Because Kathryn put a down payment on an apartment in Boston. She's not gonna use it, but I am. Unless you give me a reason to stay."

Mary Margaret sadly says to David," David. I can't."

With that, she gets into her car, driving off and leaving David at the sidewalk.

Past, The Enchanted Forest, Infinite Forest

Prince Charming and Rumplestiltskin stands together as Rumplestilskin is holding his True Love Potion in his hand," Behold. The most powerful magic of all... True love."

Prince Charming reaches for the potion but Rumplestilskin pulls away from him," Ah! Careful. This is all I have left of it."

" What do you know of true love?" Prince Charming questions and Rumplestiltskin admits," Well, not as much as you, perhaps, but not so little as you might think."

Prince Charming stares at Rumplestiltskin in disbelief," You? You love someone?"

Rumplestiltskin looks down, memories flowing in his mind as he truthfully explains to Prince Charming," It was a brief flicker of light amidst an ocean of darkness.

" What happened?" Prince Charming asks and Rumplestiltskin simply answered," She died. That's the thing about true love, dearie. It can slip through your fingers. It's the most powerful magic in the world, the only magic powerful enough to break any curse. It must be protected at all costs."

Prince Charming looks at him and he questions him," I don't understand. What exactly is it you want me to do?"

" I want you to help me protect it by putting in a safe place for me." Rumplestilskin instructs.

He uses his magic to create an egg and places the potion inside.

Prince Charming looks at the egg and he questions him," And where is that?"

" Why, inside the belly of a beast, of course!" Rumplestilskin answers and he tosses Prince Charming the egg.

Prince Charming quickly catches it and he asks," Why hide it?"

" Let's just say... I'm saving it for a rainy day." Rumplestilskin answers.

Storybrooke. Present. Mr. Gold's shop.

The door opens as Zatanna, Emma and Regina enters the shop.

Mr. Gold looks back, noticing Emma's change of heart and he questioned," Do my eyes deceive me, or is that the look of a believer?"

Emma said to him," We need your help."

" Indeed, you do. It seems quite the tragic ailment has befallen our young friend." Mr. Gold says as he looks at Regina,saying to her," I told you magic comes with a price."

" Henry shouldn't have to pay it." Regina says and
Mr. Gold told her," No, you should, but alas, we are where we are."

Mr. Gold turns to Zatanna and he greets her," And you Ms. Zatara, my how you have grown."

" Spare us your pleasantries Dark One, can you help us?" Zatanna asks and Mr. Gold nods," Of course. True love, the only magic strong enough to transcend realms and break any curse.Luckily for you, I happen to have bottled some."

" You did?" Regina questioned and Mr. Gold nods, saying to Emma," Oh yes. From strands of your parents' hair, I made the most powerful potion in all the realm. So powerful, that, when I created the Dark Curse, I placed a single drop on the parchment. Just a little safety valve."

Emma gasps," That's why I'm the savior, that's why I can break the curse."

" Now you're getting it." Mr. Gold says

Emma shakes her head," I don't care about breaking the curse. All I care about is saving Henry."

Mr. Gold then tells her," Which is why it's your lucky day. I didn't use all the potion. I saved some. For a rainy day."

" Well, it's storming like a bitch. Where is it?" Emma demands and Mr. Gold says to her," Where it is, isn't the problem. Getting it is what should worry you."

" Enough riddles. What do we do?" Regina demands.

Mr. Gold directs his finger and Regina and Zatanna and he says," You and Ms. Zatara will do nothing. It has to be Miss Swan."

Regina: He's my son. It should be me.

Zatanna shakes her head," No All due respect Madame Mayor but it's her son. And it has to be her. She's the product of the magic. She must be the one to find it."

" I can do it." Emma declares out.

" Don't trust him." Regina persuades but

Emma tells her," What choice do we have?"

" That's right dearie, What choice do you have?" Mr. Gold smirks.

" Where is this magic?" Zatanna asks.

Mr. Gold turns to Regina, asking," Tell me, your Majesty, is our friend still in the basement?"

Upon hearing that, Regina narrows her eyes at him," Oh, you twisted little imp. You hid it with her?"

Mr. Gold shakes his head," Oh no no no, not with her. In her. I knew you couldn't resist bringing her over."

Emma looks at the two, confused," Who is "her"?"

" Someone you should be prepared for. Where you're going, you're gonna need this." Mr. Gold explains and he opens a case, revealing Prince Charming's sword.

Emma stares at the sword and she asks," What is that?"

Mr. Gold presents Prince Charming's sword to Emma and he answers," Your father's sword."

Present, Storybrooke, The hospital.

Emma stands over Henry, tears flowing down her eyes as she apologizes to him," Henry. You were right about the curse. I should have believed you. I'm sorry."

She places his book on the bedside table," For when you wake up."

She crosses the room and exits as Regina enters, saying to her," Say what you gotta say, you got ten minutes."

" You know where to meet?" Regina asks and Emma nods," Yeah. Don't be late."

Regina crosses to Henry's bedside, apologizing to her as she felt ashamed for poisoning him," I'm sorry."

Zatanna then comes in and she tells Regina," I can't go with you two but I'll stay here and take care of Henry"

" Thank you." Regina then leaves, sobbing into her hands.

However, right at that moment, Regina heard a familiar voice saying to her," Pity, isn't it? There's nothing harder than not knowing whether you'll ever see your child again."

" Jefferson, now is not a good time." Regina says but Jefferson disagrees," For you. Well, for me, it's the perfect time. I'm here to collect. Where—where is she—my daughter?"

" Emma was supposed to eat that apple and she didn't. As far as I'm concerned, that makes our deal null and void." Regina shouts.

Jefferson angrily growls," I did what you asked, and you're gonna screw me over again?"

" Look at it however you want, Jefferson. The fact is, I'm done with you." Regina snarls and Jefferson stops her," But I'm-- I'm not done with you."

Regina scoffs out," What are you going to do? Kill me? I know you want to, but I also know you can't."

" Do you?" Jefferson angrily questions and Regina spat," Yes. You don't have it in you. Now, if you excuse me, I have to save my son."

Granny's Inn

Outside August Booth's room at Granny's Inn, Emma knocks on the door and she calls out," August? Please open up. I know you're in there, open the door."

" I can't." Emma could hear August's voice from inside, prompting her to force the door open.

There August lies in his bed, his arms visibly wooden and Emma gasps out in horror," No. What's happening to you?"

" You can see it now. You believe." August gasps out hopefully.

Emma steps towards him and she nods," Yeah, I do, but... H-How do I stop this?"

" Break the curse." August instructs and Emma says," I'll do it I promise, but I gotta save Henry first and I need your help."

" No, you don't." August assures her but Emma disagrees," Yeah, I do. This is all too much. I-I just... talked to the Evil Queen and Rumplestiltskin about a quest to find magic. My adoptive dad and sisters were real magicians all along. I can't do it August, I can't. No normal person can."

August smiles, feeling his humanity fading away as he gasps out with his last breath," Luckily for us, you're not normal. You can save Henry. You can save all of..."

His words are cut off as his transformation into wood is completed, with the man reverting back into a motionless wooden puppet.

" August?" Emma drops down to her knees and she cries into his wooden torso.

Soon

Outside the boarded up clock tower. Emma paces briefly as Regina arrives and unlocks the door.

" What is this place?" Emma asks and Regina sarcastically remarks," Would you like a tour, or shall we just get to it?"

" Lead the way." Emma instructs.

Regina lifts a wall revealing an elevator and Emma gasps out," Whoa."

" Get in." Regina instructs but Emma insists," After you."

" It's a two-man job, the elevator's hand-operated. I have to stay up here and lower you down." Regina explains and Emma looks at her in disbelief," And I'm just supposed to trust you?"

" I don't think you have much choice in the matter, Miss Swan." Regina states.

Emma looks down from the elevator shaft and she asks Regina," This battle I'm supposed to fight—who is it? What is down there?"

" An old friend." Regina answers and Emma probes," Then why don't you go talk to them?"

" Because her punishment here was different than everyone else's. I trapped her... in a different form. She doesn't wanna hear from me. You have to trust me on that." Regina says.

Emma nods and she says to Regina," Okay, I will go down there. But let's be clear about something... "your Majesty". The only reason you're not dead is because I need your help to save Henry. If he dies... so do you."

Regina scoffs," Well then let's get on with it. Now, this is what you're going to have to do."

Regina began lowering Emma down the elevator as it moves downwards, Emma looks down, unsheathing the sword as she prepares for battle.

Past, The Enchanted Forest, The Forbidden Fortress

Inside the fortress, Maleficent ascends some stairs.

She enters her throne room and just as she sits on her throne, Prince Charming's sword appears at her throat.

Maleficent looks as Prince Charming appears, questioning her," Where is it? Where is the beast that reigns over this castle?"

Maleficent unintimidated by Prince Charming simply swings her arm out, sending Prince Charming flying back with her magic.

" That would be me." Maleficent declares out.

She stands and descends the steps to Prince Charming, saying to him," But "beast" is so harsh. I prefer "Maleficent"."

Prince Charming mutters to himself," I'm gonna need a smaller egg."

" Such a shame. So handsome." Maleficent sneers. Prince Charming stands up, and Maleficent blows out all the candles with magic.

Prince Charming flails his sword in the darkness briefly, hearing Maleficent's cackle in the darkness and he shouts," Show yourself, witch!"

A loud crash could be heard and Prince Charming turns around, seeing instead of a beautiful witch is now a towering beast.

Maleficent, now in the form of a dragon, appears behind him and she lets out a loud bloodcurling roar.

Prince Charming dashes across the chamber as Maleficent gets down on all fours, chasing the Prince across the room.

Present, Storybrooke, Clock tower.

The Elevator carrying Emma arrives at the bottom of the shaft.

She exits into a mining tunnel, and briefly examines Snow White's glass coffin.

Suddenly, a green eye appears behind her, and there was a loud bloodcurling roar, causing Emma to turn as she found herself staring at Maleficent in the form a large dragon

Past, The Enchanted Forest, The Forbidden Fortress.

Maleficent shoots flames at Prince Charming, who hides behind a column. He looks down at the egg briefly, and smiles slightly.

Prince Charming pops out of his hiding spot and he taunts the beast," Come on!"

Maleficent chases after him as Prince Charming runs.

Present, Storybrooke, Mining tunnels.

Emma looks at the sword and feeling disadvantaged fighting with it, she declares out," To hell with this."

She drops it and takes out her gun, opening fire at the dragon.

The bullets bounces off Maleficent's skin as the dragon opens her jaws, launching a blast of flames at her as she is behind a rock formation.

The scene intercuts between Storybrooke and the Enchanted Forest. Both Prince Charming and Emma are chased by the dragon Maleficent.

Past, Enchanted Forest, The Forbidden Fortress

Prince Charming jumps on the dragon, throwing the egg into her mouth before being thrown off and jumping out the window into the water below.

Present, Storybrooke, Mining Tunnels

In Storybrooke, Maleficent, in her dragon form, falls down a pit and then flies back up.

Storybrooke hospital.

Zatanna sits at Henry's bedside, reading to him, "And yes, she was beyond hope, beyond saving. This was her end. When Prince Charming saw his beloved Snow White in her glass coffin, he knew that all that was left was to say good-bye. He had to give her one last kiss, and when he did, true love proved more powerful than any curse. A pulse of pure love shuttered out and engulfed the land, waking up Snow White and bringing light to the darkness."

Zatanna looks down at Henry and she sighs out," Henry, I don't know whether you can hear me but please, don't give up."

However, at that moment, the machines start beeping rapidly and Zatanna exclaims out," What is it? Dr. Whale!?"

Dr. Whale and a nurse rush in and Zatanna questions him," Dr. What what is that? What—What is wrong?"

Dr. Whale didn't answer and he orders the nurse next to him," Nurse, get her out of here. NOW!"

A nurse escorts Zatanna out, and another performs CPR on Henry

Dr. Whale notices Henry's heart rate on his monitor lowering and he urges," His heart rate's falling. Come on, Henry!"

A announcement booms across the hospital," Nurse to ICU, STAT. Nurse to ICU, STAT. Defibrillator team to ICU, defibrillator team to ICU."

While all that is happening, a man in scrubs steps towards the exit before open the 'Exit' door that leads to the psychiatric ward.

Psychiatric Ward

The man hands tea to the Severe Nurse," Your tea."

" Thank you." The Severe Nurse accepts the beverage and as she drinks, she asks," What's the commotion upstairs?"

" There's a sick boy, he took a bad turn." The man replies as

the Severe Nurse comments out," How tragic. Is there any hope for a-..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she slumps over before passing out on her desk.

" Recovery?" The man turns out to be Jefferson as he spat,

" Doubtful."

He takes the keys and a coat, walking down the hallway to the room of Belle.

He unlocks the door and extends his hand to her," Come with me."

Belle looks up and she questions, wary of the stranger," Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

Jefferson then introduces himself," My name is Jefferson, and I need your help to do something that I can't. There's a man, his name is Mr. Gold. Find him. All you have to do is tell him where you've been, and that Regina locked you up."

" Wait a minute, what?" Belle questions out as Jefferson informs her," It's very important. Mr. Gold's gonna protect you but you have to tell him Regina locked you up. He's gonna know what to do. You understand?

Belle quickly nods and she replies," Yes, I-I have to find Mr. Gold."

Past, The Enchanted Forest, Outside

At a beach near the Forbidden Fortress. Prince Charming walks out of the water toward Rumplestiltskin who smiles upon seeing him," Impressive, dearie. Very impressive, indeed. Come warm yourself."

Prince Charming closes in and he demands," I have done what you've asked. Return my ring to me."

" Of course, you're in a bit of a rush. How rude of me." Rumplestilskin nods.

He holds up the ring and he says," With this... Prince Charming... you will find her."

Prince Charming takes the ring and he thanks Rumplestilskin," Thank you."

Rumplestiltskin however, stops him," Something's missing."

Using his magic, Rumplestilskin conjures a puff of smoke, transforming Prince Charming's clothing into much fancier attire. Satisfied, he declares out," Now you're ready for your big moment."

Prince Charming looks at him suspiciously and he questions," Why do you want us together? What do you get out of it?"

" I'm a fan of true love, dearie, and, more importantly, what it creates." Rumplestilskin replies.

Present, Storybrooke, Mining tunnels

Meanwhile, Emma is shooting at Maleficent.

Realizing it doesn't work, she grabs the sword and throws it into the dragon.

The sword impales Maleficent in the chest, causing her entire body to engulf in magic before going off in a massive explosion, destroying her.

As the dust clears, the egg from The Enchanted Forest that contains the True Love Potion remains

Past, The Enchanted Forest, Countryside

Prince Charming rides through the countryside on a white steed, enters the forest and arrives at Snow White's coffin, surrounded by dwarves.

Inside the glass coffin lay Snow White, a beautiful young girl with long raven hair and rosy red cheeks lying motionless. Around her stood seven dwarfs, one young girl and a tall young man wearing a tuxedo and a top hat.

One of the dwarfs, Doc looks up to Prince Charming and he solemnly says to him," You're too late."

Refusing to believe him, Prince Charming frantically screams at the dwarves," No! No! Open it!"

" I'm sorry, she's gone." Grumpy apologizes, only for Zatara to put his hand on the dwarf's shoulder, whispering to him," It's okay. Let him say his final goodbye."

The dwarves and Zatanna grabs onto the lid of the glass coffin, lifting it up to remove it as Prince Charming looks down at Snow White before planting a kiss on his lips.

And without warning, a sudden burst of magic exploded around the group before Snow's eyes snaps open. Gasping out in shock, Snow looks up to Charming and she says," You...you found me."" Did you ever doubt I would?" Charming smiles as he asks.

Soon

Prince Charming and Snow White walking along a beach.

Snow White asks him," How did you do it?"

" With this." Prince Charming answers as he holds up his mother's ring, telling her," It's my mother's ring. It... led me back to you. And now... I never want it off your finger."

He gets down on one knee and he proposes to her," Will you marry me?"

Snow White simply beams as she questions him back," What do you think?"

The pair embraces and kisses.

Snow White then pulls away as Prince Charming asks her," What is it?"

Snow White then answers, knowing that while her life is safe, the threat of King George and The Evil Queen still remains," There's the little matter of your father and my stepmother."

Prince Charming smiles," Ah. That. I'm open to suggestions."

" Here's one. Let's take back the kingdom." Snow White proposes as Prince Charming asks," How?"

Snow White simply smiles as she declares out," Like we shall do everything, together."

Present, Storybrooke, Nolan's House

Clock Tower

With Maleficent defeated, Emma rides the elevator back up when all of a sudden, it comes to a stop.

Freaking out, Emma shouts out to Regina," Regina! What the hell was that?! Regina!"

Instead of Regina however, Emma could hear Mr. Gold's voice replying to her," Miss Swan? You've got it?"

" Mr. Gold? What are you doing here?" Emma asks as she sees Mr. Gold looking down from the top.

" I've come to check on you. I'm glad I did. Regina abandoned you and sabotaged the elevator." Mr. Gold replies and Emma exclaims out," What? I'm coming up!"

" No there's-- there's no time for this. You can't possibly scale the wall and carry that." Mr. Gold says and Emma refuses to give up," Yeah? Well I can try."

" No you can't, just toss it up. Your boy's gonna be fine. I promise. We're running out of time, toss it up." Mr. Gold persuades

Emma nods and she calls out to Mr. Gold," Okay. You hold on to it, I'll be right up."

She tosses up the egg and Gold walks away, shocking Emma.

" Mr. Gold? Gold!" Emma climbs up and out of the shaft only to find Regina, tied up.

" Regina?" Emma questions, removing the gag off Regina as she shouts at her accusingly," He tricked you! How could you give him that?"

" Where is he?" Emma asks and Regina simply answers," Gone."

Emma unties her as Regina growls," Gold. He manipulated all of this."

Emma then urges Regina," Come on, he can't be that far!"

However, before the pair can chase down Mr. Gold, at that moment, women's cell phones start ringing and they check them with Regina telling Emma," It's the hospital."

Storybrooke Hospital

Emma and Regina rushes into the ICU as Dr. Whale and Mother Superior exits with Dr. Whale saying to them sadly," We did everything we could."

" I'm sorry. You're too late." Mother Superior apologizes to them.

Emma enters the ICU as a nurse turns off a machine and removes a breathing mask from Henry's face while Zatanna sat next to him with her head down.

Mr. Gold's shop

Back at his shop after stealing the egg, Mr. Gold takes out a key and opens the egg, removing the True Love Potion.

Just then, Mr. Gold heard the sound of the bell ringing and hequickly puts the potion away.

" Excuse me, are you Mr. Gold?"

" Yes I am, but I'm afraid the shop's closed..." Mr. Gold turns around and he freezes, realizing the woman is Belle

Belle steps towards him and she says to him," I was uh, I was told to-to find and tell you that Regina locked me up. Does that mean anything to you?"

Mr. Gold reaches out and touches her, gasping out in disbelief," You're real. You're alive. She did this to you?"

Belle nods and she says to Mr. Gold," I was told you'd protect me."

Mr. Gold embraces her, sobbing slightly as he nods," Oh yes. Yes I'll protect you."

" Um, I'm sorry, do I-do I know you?" Belle asks, confused as Mr. Gold answers," No. But you will."

Storybrooke Hospital

Emma, Regina, Zatanna, Dr. Whale and Mother Superior are gathered around Henry's bed.

Regina cries out," No..."

She turns and cries on Dr. Whale's shoulder," No."

Zatanna says to Henry," I'm sorry Henry."

Zatanna then covers her eyes with her hands as Emma crosses to Henry, tears running down her face as she says to him," I love you Henry."

She kisses his forehead and at that moment, a powerful blast radiates out.

Henry gasps and wakes up. shocking the rest as he turns to Emma, answering out," I love you, too. You saved me."

" You did it." Zatanna wipes away her tears as she tells Emma, realizing that the curse is broken.

But Henry's curse was not the only thing broken in town.

Town

At the same time, he blast radiates through the town.

Mary Margaret, Ruby and Granny, Archie Hopper and Leroy all freezes as the curse broke.

The blast hits David as well while driving.

Looking slightly confused., David realizes he is nearing the "Leaving Storybrooke" sign, and he presses down on the brakes, stopping his truck and looks back.

Hospital

Emma notices everyone looking around confused as she asks Henry," Henry, what's going on?"

" No." Regina gasps, realizing that everyone has woken up

Henry smiles and he says to Emma," The curse... I think you broke it!"

" That was true love's kiss." Mother Superior nods as Regina screams out in protests," No. No!"

Mother Superior then faces Regina and she says to her sternly," If I were you, your Majesty, I'd find a place to hide."

Zatanna agrees," But for what what's worth, I'll give you time to say goodbye. But you better get out of here."

Regina approaches Henry's bed, trying to smile through her tears as she says to Henry," Henry... no matter what you think, no matter what anyone tells you, I do love you."

She then turns around, leaving the room while Mother Superior and Zatanna watches.

Street

David is walking along the street past all the confused Storybrooke residents when he spots Mary Margaret.

" Snow!" David shouts, causing Mary Margaret to look up as she gasps," Charming."

The two run to each other, and Mary Margaret gasps," You found me."

David smiles at her," Did you ever doubt I would?"

The pair then plants their lips together in a kiss.

Back in her home, Regina enters Henry's room.

Regina sits on Henry's bed, picks up his pillow, and sobs into it.

Woods

The blast also hits the pair as Mr. Gold and Belle are walking.

" Wait." Belle stops as Mr. Gold tells her, not knowing what has happened," No, no. We've very close."

"Rumplestiltskin, wait." Upon hearing that, Mr. Gold stops, he turns, and she catches up to him, sobbing out," I-I remember. I-I love you."

Both Mr. Gold and Belle hugs as Mr Gold cries out," Yes, yes. And I love you, too."

He quickly wipes away his tears as he tells her," But hey, there'll be time for that. There'll be time for everything. But first, there's something I must do."

The two come to the wishing well and Belle asks Mr. Gold," What is this?"

" This is a very special place, Belle. The waters that run below are said to have the power to return that which one has lost." Mr. Gold explains as he drops the True Love Potion into the well.

Purple smoke rises out and spreads outward.

Hospital

While everyone is happily talking to each other,

Emma realizes something is wrong and she asks Henry," Henry, what's going on here? If the curse is broken, why didn't they go back?"

Henry shakes his head, confused as well," I... I don't know."

Just then, a nurse drops something on the floor, Zatanna stood up over Emma and Henry and she asks the nurse," Hey what's wrong, are you okay?"

She notices the nurse looking at the window and as she turns, her eyes widens in shock.

Mills Mansion

Back in Henry's room. Regina stops her crying and she looks out the window, seeing the massive puff of purple smoke engulfing the town.

Hospital

Emma and Henry look out the window next to Zatanna and Emma asks," What is that?"

" Something bad." Henry answers.

Woods

Purple smoke continues to flow out of the Wishing Well as Belle stares at it, confused," I-I don't understand..."

" We're in a land without magic, Belle, and I'm bringing it. Magic... is coming." Mr. Gold explains and Belle asks," Why?"

Mr Gold simply answers," Why? Because magic... is power."

Mill's Mansion

Still in Henry's room, Regina looks out the window, watching the smoke engulfing the town and she smiles wickedly.

Street

David and Mary Margaret hold each other as the smoke engulfs them.

Zatanna looks at the smoke from the window and just moments before the smoke engulfs them, she could only muster out one curse" Awwww hell naw."
