Believing that villains can't have a happy ending Rumple thought that this sacrifice would be the last step of his journey. As he vanished in front of his loved ones he believed that he served his purpose. He was afraid to open his eyes afraid to see what's waiting for him but a touch forced him to wake up. A familiar voice was telling " Rumple wake up" to him. And when he saw the man he couldn't believe his eyes. It was Graham. They both looked each other trying to figure out why and how were they here in the Enchanted forest. Rumple broke the silent saying " Where are we?" " I think we are in the Enchanted forest, I just woke up here but I don't have any idea of how I got here. I was hoping you can clear that up for me." said Graham hoping that he can get an explanation to all of these. Rumple stood up looked around he was really in the Enchanted forest. "So I'm not dead and you are here because you can break the curse" said Rumple. Graham was much more confused now then he asked " What are you talking about?" Rumple explained that Peter Pan made a curse so that he can turn Storybrooke to his Neverland, and how he stopped him. Graham intervened saying " I still don't understand any of this how can I break the curse the most importantly how can we go to Storybrooke? Rumple " Look I know this is all confusing but we don't have much time the curse can hit Storybrooke in any minute except of Emma and Henry everybody will come back to Enchanted forest, Emma and Henry won't remember their life in Storybrooke. But you can change it. I believe that if you kiss Emma the curse can be broken. I know that before you died you remembered who you were. Emma broke your curse." Graham was still at kissing Emma part. He was thinking what would Emma do when she sees him, will she be pleased then he said "Ok what am I going to do?" "You aren't fully come back you have the ability to crossover, you are like a portal but only you can pass so I can't come. Just say Storybrooke inside yourself you will find yourself at the sheriff station they are probably at the exit of Storybrooke" said Rumple. Graham wasn't listening to Rumple carefully. He remembered how he died without kissing her, she was the last face he saw. She was the one who made him feel again, dragged him out of the darkness.
Graham closed his eyes still not believing that this will work also he didn't know if he can trust Rumple but he didn't have any other choice. When he opened his eyes he was really at the sheriff station where he had his best and his worst moments of his life. He didn't have time to understand how all of these things happened so he started to search for the keys of his car. As he was searching the keys he saw his jacket hanging at his old spot. He smiled knowing that Emma kept a piece of him. He finally found the keys got on the car. He turned the siren on and drove as fast he can but he didn't know what to do. Okay he was going to kiss her, but it would be awkward. But he knew that he didn't have any other choice. As he got closer he could see Emma wearing her red jacket saying goodbye to her family tears in her eyes. Everybody looked at the police car coming to them. Everybody was wondering who was in it. The car stopped. Graham got off the car. They were staring at him but he was only looking at Emma who took a step closer to him. Graham wanted to speak but as if his lips were sealed. He finally said " Hi, I know you are all wondering how am here but to be honest I don't have a good explanation. I found myself in Enchanted forest, Rumple said that yes he is alive by the way that I was brought to break the curse by kissing Emma." Everybody was shocked when they heard the last part. Now Graham looked at Emma and said " I know its going to be awkward or maybe more than awkward but I want to give your happy ending. You deserve a happy ending more than anyone else."
They all looked at Emma waiting an answer from her, Graham cupped her face crushed his lips into hers. It was like the world stood still and everybody watched them. Leroy shouted saying "The curse is broken" and ruined the moment. Emma was still in shock wasn't sure if it was a dream if it was really Graham that kissed her. "Are you really here?" asked Emma. Graham smiled she really missed seeing his smile and said "Yes I'm really here, and I'm not going anywhere" Then suddenly Belle shouted saying" Rumple" He was back. Belle hugged Rumple not wanting to let him go. Rumple said "I'm here because the curse is broken, and Graham is here due to his special connection with Emma normally he would vanish but his connection with Emma is powerful enough to keep him here. Welcome back sheriff" Everybody hugged Graham. He didn't know that he was loved but he was glad to be back.
As he was going to his old apartment he saw Emma coming to him. She put her only to Graham smile again and said " There is a celebration at Granny's tonight. We will celebrate your coming back and breaking the curse so what do you say? Graham looked at her eyes, how could he say no to her then said "Well I'm the guest of honor so I have to come." Emma laughed at him and said " I missed your jokes" "Really I thought you didn't like them and you only missed my jokes" said Graham wanting to know if she missed him. Emma couldn't hold her tears and let them fall down. Graham was feeling guilty about it ,he hugged Emma and whispered to her ears saying "I'm sorry for leaving you, you are the reason I'm here you are the reason I can breathe and feel and I love you Emma. Emma wasn't sure if she heard right that Graham confessed his love to her. Graham smiled and said " I'll see you at Granny's". and walked away from her. He regretted confessing his love to her. It wasn't the right time to do it. But what done is done. Emma looked at Graham the man who broke her walls, the man who taught her that you can love without a heart. She finally started to believe that happy endings can come true if you have a hope.
