They have searched every corner of the mountain but still there's no sign of Regina anywhere. Meanwhile, Rumple is standing by the altar reading the spell Regina used. "Zelena, come here", he said and she obliged. She looked at it too and read it. "Is this the one she's chanting?" she asked and he nodded. Henry saw the look on their faces. "What? What is it? What does it mean?" he asked one question after another. They both turned to him. "This is a powerful sacrificial spell used by the ancient gods. Your mother didn't snuff out the darkness in her with darkness. She poured it all out in this mountain", Rumple answered. Henry looked around the mountain. They are standing basically in the pit of darkness. "She knows no one can take it from this place. No one can wield it. Everyone will be safe", Henry realized. "Yeah, well the real question now is where the hell is she?" Zelena asked.
Regina opened her eyes and saw nothing but darkness. There's no light. She got up and fire started to light up from the walls of what appears to be a cave. She's in cave. She checked herself and she got no bruises or wounds. She's perfectly fine. Ahead of her, she can see a tiny light beaming. It might be the way out of the cave, she thought. She got up and ran towards it. It is the way out and it leads to a forest. The place looks so familiar but she can't remember it. She ran her fingers through the woods. She continued walking and walking until she bumped into a man. "I am so sorry. I wasn't looking", she apologized. The man looked at her and smiled. "No worries, madam. I should be the one apologizing. Are you lost? I barely see a woman wandering alone in this part of the forest", he asked. She seemed confused as she searched for something to answer him. "I think I am. Where am I exactly?" she answered then asked. "Oh, you're in the Enchanted Forest. I am Eleazar and you are?" he answered then introduced himself. Regina took time to answer which bothered him. Then she finally found the words. "I don't know. I don't know my name", she answered.
The heroes went back to the Charming's castle in Wish Realm where Snow and David are waiting. "What happened? Where's Regina?" Snow asked when she saw them empty handed. "No…don't tell me she did it", David muttered when he saw the look on their faces. "She did a different spell. She transferred the darkness into the mountain instead of destroying it", Hook answered. Snow and David sighed. "Well that's brilliant, isn't it? No one can take that power from that mountain and she doesn't have to destroy herself", Snow said excitedly but none of them are excited. "Where is the queen?" Wish Henry asked. Henry looked at him. "We don't know", he answered simply. They all sat down and they narrated what went down in the Pit.
Wish Blue is present just in case she has knowledge of the spell Regina used. "I don't mean to bring the spirits down but maybe we might consider the possibilities that the queen is…" Wish Blue said but wasn't able to finish. "…dead? No. She is not. My mother is still alive and I can feel it. She's out there somewhere and in need of our help. She can be weak or hurt from what happened. You're here to help us not assume she's dead", Henry said angrily. Ella held his hand. "I'm only trying to lay down the possibilities, Henry. I came here to help her", Wish Blue said. Henry scoffed. "Yeah then why don't I believe you? You never liked her even before she became the Evil Queen. You tried to stop Tinkerbell from helping her because you said her fate was sealed because her mother was the Queen of Hearts and her teacher was the Dark One. You refused to help save her soul. Why this time is any different?" Henry said and then walked out.
Henry went to the balcony where his mother used to go to clear her mind. Wish Henry followed him. "Are you okay?" he asked him and he shook his head. "None of them truly understands her. They see her as either a hero or a villain, a queen or the mayor. Some even see her as a bartender but to me she's simply my mother. My mother is out there and I don't know how to find her", he answered. Wish Henry looked at him carefully. "You have doubts", he muttered. Henry didn't want to acknowledge that but he saw it in his eyes. "I do. I know there's a chance that she didn't survive. I just want to believe that she did", he said. Wish Henry smiled and nodded. "I don't have doubts", he said. Henry looked at him and frowned. "You don't?" he asked and he nodded. "Yeah…what was the last thing she said to you?" he asked. Henry thinks for a moment. "She said that she loves me and that I should never forget that", he answered. "You see? They said she had turned into pure darkness because she gave all her light to me but she still got love in her heart. She still loves you", Wish Henry said. His words are getting into his brains like a wild river. "…just like when we're in Storybrooke. She was the Evil Queen then but she was able to love me despite of being filled with vengeance in her heart. You are brilliant! Thank you!" Henry exclaimed and then left his other version at the balcony smiling.
He ran towards the meeting room where everyone is. They all looked at him surprised by the change in his mood. "I know she's alive now like a hundred percent alive", he said. Snow frowned. "How?" she asked. Henry catches his breath for a second. "Love. She turned herself completely dark but she's able to hold it off until she reached the Mountain of Doom because she didn't want to hurt any of us because she loves us. She said she loves me before she disappeared. I know you think she's gone because of the sacrificial spell but I don't think she is now. She still got a bit of light left in her because of love", he answered. That gave an idea in Rumple's head. "You may have a point. The spell will make the mountain suck all the darkness in the circle. If Regina was pure darkness, she will get sucked by the mountain too but if she still got a bit of light in her…she may have survived", he muttered. That brought hope to everyone in the table. "All we need to do now is find her", Ella muttered. That leads to the biggest question. "So how exactly are we going to find her now?" Alice asked. Rumple and Henry looked at each other. "That's easy, Alice. We leave it to my grandpa. He and Mom can always track each other down", he said and then smiled.
