The Missing Slippers
It's been a month since Emma and Killian got married after getting him back from the underworld and somehow he's managed to disappear. Again. No note, no text. He didn't even mention anything to David. Meanwhile Snow has been trashing the loft since she can't find the slippers that got her out of the Underworld into Oz and eventually back to Storybrooke. She thinks that there is a new villain who has stolen them. Emma has already told her mother that "If they took the slippers, then they probably already left Storybrooke again. What else would you need the slippers for?" But she isn't listening and the only thing Snow is accomplishing is that Emma is starting to get a headache.
Emma has just said goodbye to her parents when she starts thinking about the Underworld again. Hades is defeated, and everything he did to the people is reversed, but the Underworld is still there. Turns out you need a place for people to settle their unfinished business. The headstones with the names of Regina, David and herself are still there but when Ruby and Dorothy returned so that Dorothy could get her auntie Em to move on, they also took a look at the stones. The stones now look like they are decaying, and weirdly enough Emma is okay with that.
While she's walking home she gets a text from her husband which contains only a picture of the headstone where her name is written on, only there is a slight difference made to it. The "Swan" part of her name has now been scratched out and is replaced with "Jones". She receives another text from Killian right after the first one with a selfie of himself with a proud grin on his face and the headstone in the background. This time he's managed to send a message alongside the picture saying "I love you!" That damned pirate of hers.
When she gets home she sees Killian laying on the couch with the slippers still on. He hears her come in, turns to her and says "Did you miss me, love?"
Explaining to her mother how Killian was the one who 'borrowed' the slippers was an adventure she left for Killian.
