In the middle of the forest, Henry Mills was busy chopping down a magic tree that could save his daughter Lucy's life. Another dark curse was going to be cast again and he and the rest of the royal court had been foolish in not heeding Drizella's warning and not knowing about the coven of eight. Still with a little bit of luck, Henry would correct that mistake. After some time had passed, Henry had chopped down the tree and quickly got right to work and began to make the magic wardrobe as fast as he could. He was no Gepetto, but that didn't mean that Henry wouldn't try. After what seemed like a while, the magic cupboard was finally ready. As Henry and Lucy smiled proudly, they suddenly heard the coven coming for them!
At once, Both Henry and Lucy opened the cupboard. As they climbed inside it, Lucy asked "Where will this cupboard take us? Will we ever see Mommy again?"
Henry became quiet before he answered "I don't know."
Then, he quickly closed the cupboard the door just as the coven arrived. Drizella and Gothel opened the cupboard and discovered nothing was inside it!
Drizella looked through the cupboard multiple times as she said "I don't believe it. They did it. They really did it."
Then, Drizella fell to the floor as she let out a scream of rage. All those years of planning her revenge on her mother. Wasted! How was she going to get Regina to cast the dark curse now?!
"Calm down, my child. It's not over yet. I know where they're going." Gothel assured the young witch.
Meanwhile, Henry and Lucy found themselves waking up in the middle of the woods.
"Daddy, is this the place? Are we near Storybrooke?" Lucy asked as she and her father carefully stood up.
"I think we are, but we just need to keep walking." Henry advised as he took his daughter's right hand into his own as they walked towards the town of Henry's childhood. As they continued to walk through the woods, Henry thought to himself I wonder what my biological mom, stepfather and my half sibling are doing now?
At that very moment, Emma was getting ready to go home from work to greet her family. Still, she wished there was a portal for Henry to come back and visit Storybrooke. It had been 8 years since she last saw him and eight years since she and Killian had their daughter Hope. She was a bright child who had Emma's hair and Killian's eyes. Alice was good friends with her Uncle Neil who she often saw at family dinners, alongside her maternal grandparents. Emma was then brought out of her thoughts as her deputy said "Sheriff Jones, we have some outsiders approaching the town and one of them claims to be your son Henry."
A short time later, Emma and her deputy drove to the edge of Storybrooke as fast as they could. Once, they reached the edge, Emma was greeted with the sight of a grown up Henry and an eight year old girl of Latinx descent.
"Henry? Is that really you?" Emma questioned as her voice began to falter.
"Yes Mom, It's me and this is your granddaughter Lucy. We need your help." Henry replied as Lucy waved at Emma as she said "Hi, Grandma Emma."
At once, a million thoughts began to spun around inside Emma's head. Such as When did Henry have a daughter? Who's the mother? When did Henry and the mother of his child meet? What she like? What's her family like? What kind of trouble did Henry and his family fall into?
However, before Emma had the chance to ask any of those questions, the sound of an approaching car br me her out of her thoughts. Emma spun around to tell the person that this was police business, but stopped when her husband Killian came out of the parked car.
"Emma!" He called out before he saw Henry and his daughter.
As Killian stood there in shock, Henry gave his step-father a small smile as he said "I think we need to talk."
Sometime later, Henry, Emma, Lucy, Killian and Hope were sitting in Granny's diner.
"Let me get this straight, Drizella warned you that she would cast the dark curse on Lucy's 8th birthday and you didn't prepare for it." Emma stated as she raised her right eyebrow.
"We didn't know she had a coven behind her." Henry weakly protested.
As Lucy sunk into her chair, Hope leaned over towards her as she said "Happy Birthday Lucy or should I call you niece?"
Lucy gave Hope a strange look as Hope replied "What? It's true. You are my older half brother's daughter and that makes you my niece." "Thanks for being the reason that I got out of school early." She added.
In spite of themselves, the table couldn't help but laugh. Once the laughter died down, Henry interjected with "Anyway, I need to gather all of our best Storybrooke fighters because I have I feeling that the coven might follow us here."
Emma nodded in agreement as she said "Of course, we'll help you. We just need to find a place for you and Lucy."
"Can't we stay in at the inn?" Lucy questioned.
"Let's see if they are any rooms available." Henry replied.
A few moments later, when Granny came to collect their bill, Henry quickly asked her "Do you have any rooms open?"
The elderly woman nodded her head.
As Henry and Lucy were preparing to get a room, back in the new Enchanted forest, the coven of eight were doing their best to locate Henry and in no time at all they discovered that Henry and Lucy had magically transported themselves back to the land without magic.
"How are we going to find a way to bring that boy back to our world? How will we take him without magic?" Drizella lamented.
"We'll go to the land without magic force him to return with the threat of his wife and mother coming to harm." Gothel replied with a wicked smile.
Then, the leader of the coven turned to her followers and said "Find Cinderella and Regina. Bring them back alive and unharmed. However, before you can do that, we must make a portal so Drizella and I can journey to the land without magic."
Soon the coven began to cast a spell and opened a portal to the land without magic. Drizella jumped in first, while Gothel followed her.
The two woman landed in the middle of a forest. Drizella and Gothel brushed the dirt off their dresses, before Gothel added "We must find a way to blend in and to bring magic to this land."
Before Drizella could ask what did Gothel mean by that, Gothel suddenly let out a gasp of shock as she said "Wait a minute, I sense a place that is filled with magic."
"Where is it?" Drizella wondered.
"It's that way." Gothel answered as she pointed towards the northern part of the woods. With that, the witches began to make their way towards the hidden town that was filled with magic.
As Gothel and Drizella made their way towards Storybrooke, Henry and Lucy were settling in to their new room.
"Am I going to like it here, Daddy?" Lucy asked as she tucked herself in bed.
"Yes, Emma and Hook are great. You're also going to meet your grandparents and great Uncle and he's only in his 20s." Henry replied.
At once, both Henry and Lucy burst out laughing.
Once, the laughter died down, Henry remarked "We truly are a modern family, huh?"
"Yeah." Lucy agreed before she let out a sigh and said "I just wish that mom was able to join us."
Henry gave his little girl a sad smile as he replied "Me too."
"Do you think that mom, Regina, Zelena, Cousin Robin, Hook, Alice, Rumplestilskin and Aunt Tiana are okay?" Lucy asked nervously.
"They can take care of themselves, I'm sure they can handle whatever problems the coven of eight throw at them." Henry assured his young daughter.
Meanwhile, back in the new Enchanted forest, Cinderella, Regina, Hook and all of their allies were battling against the coven of eight at Tiana's palace.
"Give us the wicked queen and Cinderella, you'll shall all be unharmed." One of the coven ordered.
"Like hell we will!" Hook cried out as he withdrew his sword.
"Like you wouldn't kill us the moment we handed them over to you anyway!" Robin fired back.
The battle continued and as much as Tiana, the guards and her allies fought, both Regina and Cinderella were captured by the coven.
As Hook, Tiana, and Zelena looked up to the sky in horror, Robin interjected with "We can't just stand here and wallow in our own self pity, we to find the coven and rescue Cinderella and Regina!"
At once, the whole group quickly began to make a rescue plan.
