Regina stared at the mirror per Wish Rumple's instruction. He then waved his hand and a memory appeared in the mirror of Regina in her family house back in the Enchanted Forest. She is seen riding horses. "That is who you are. Your name is Regina Mills, daughter of Cora and Prince Henry. Now you know why you chose the name Coraline", he said. She stared in amazement like she's seeing all of it for the first time. "I am a daughter of a prince", she muttered. He rolled his eyes. "Still doesn't jog your memory, eh? Figure not…well then", he muttered and then waved his hand again and now Regina is in the stable with Daniel. She looked closely. "Now this is a horrible one but sometimes pain is necessary to remember things", he said. They watched the memory of Regina with Cora killing Daniel. The pain struck her like it's all happening at the moment. "Focus on that feeling, Regina and you will remember everything", he whispered in her ears.
The heroes are back in their castle thinking of a plan on how to fix their new dilemma. "We shouldn't be here. We should be storming his castle and saving my mother. The more we wait here the more she's in danger", Henry exclaimed in his frustrations. "We understand how you feel. Trust me, we want to save Regina as much as you do but we can't just march there without any plan or we will risk everyone's life", Snow explained to her grandson. He understands it. "So what does he want with her? She is not a threat to him now", Zelena asked. Rumple sat on the chair and thinks. "It could be a number of things but one thing I learned from that version of me is that he's full of hatred. She just stopped his grand plan to separate all of us. He could want revenge on her", he suggested. David took out his sword. "Then what are we waiting for? We need to go and save our queen", he said and Henry smiled at him.
They stormed off Wish Rumple's castle. They were surprised to see how much it changed. The last time they've been there, the place was full with dead bodies and other villains trapped like Wish Peter Pan and Wish Cruella. Now they're not there anymore. Then Wish Rumple suddenly appeared. "It's a nice picture, the entire family all together to save their former enemy", he greeted. Henry pointed his sword at him. "Where is my mom?" he asked. Wish Rumple smiled at him. "Last time I checked, she went to the Pit to sacrifice herself. Did you try checking there?" he answered and asked him back. That pissed him more. "We know she's here. You took her", Wish Henry intervened. His face turned serious when he saw him on their side. "No, I didn't take her. She came with me willingly. You want to see her? Very well then", he said. Everyone held their breath. "Regina! There are people looking for you", he called.
Regina poofed in front of us dressed in a long black dress. Henry smiled and tried to run towards her but he's stopped by an invisible wall. "That's close enough", Wish Rumple said. Henry looked at Regina who's staring at him blankly. "Mom…Mom, it's me. I'm your son", he said. "I don't have a son", Regina replied coldly. That shocked everyone. They know she lost her memory but they haven't seen it themselves until now. "Listen to me, I know you don't remember me but you need to get away from him. He is the bad guy", Henry tried to persuade her but it's like she is not hearing him. "Regina, we are here to save you. We're your family", Snow said. Regina looked at her. Her face turned hard. Her eyes turned fierce. "Family? Family don't betray each other", she muttered. Snow frowned. "What do you mean?" she asked her. "Each time I trusted you, someone I love ended up dying. Why should I trust you now? I trusted you with my secret and Daniel died. I trusted you to tell me what my mother truly needed and you tricked me into killing her", Regina exclaimed.
Snow couldn't find words to answer to that. Zelena leaned to Rumple. "Why does she remember that but not remember who we are?" she asked him. Rumple analyzed the situation. He should know what his copy is doing because he is him though he's a bit darker because in that realm, Belle did die. "Restart…" he muttered. They turned to him. "It's all a restart. All this started with me corrupting Regina when she's younger. She didn't know dark magic and I manipulated her, drowned her in the feelings of pain and betrayal so she would seek revenge. It's all happening again. Regina doesn't have a memory of her past. She doesn't have a strand of darkness in her because she already removed it from her. She's back to where she started, pure and innocent", he explained. They looked at Wish Rumple with her. "He is corrupting her? How?" Hook asked. "Her memories, he's using her darkest moments in life to corrupt her and god does she have a lot of those", David answered. She does indeed and by the looks of her, it seems like Wish Rumple has shown her a lot.
Henry tried to break the invisible wall between them but he keeps on failing. Regina took a step but Wish Rumple stopped her. "Patience…what did I tell you earlier?" he asked. She looked pissed off. "I did that long time ago and here I am still defeated", she answered. She's talking about the time she spent seeking revenge on Snow White. "Yes but you sided with wrong Dark One at that time. Worry not. I am here to genuinely help you give the pain they gave you. Let me give you a gift", he said then waved his hand. A portal opened inside the room and a woman came out of it. She is wrapped in a robe. They all waited for her to get up. Wish Rumple removed the chains around her wrists and legs. The woman got up. It's Ruby. Snow panicked right away to see her best friend with Wish Rumple and Regina. "No! Not her! Please!" she exclaimed.
Ruby is confused about what's happening and so is Regina. "What is the deal with her?" she asked. That confused Ruby more to see that Regina doesn't recognize her at all. "She is Snow White's best friend. She helped her evade you for a long time because she can turn into a wolf. In fact, she killed a lot of your guards. She helped prevented your revenge from happening", Wish Rumple answered. That made Regina's blood boil. Ruby saw that too. "Regina, what are you doing? We are all over this, remember? You're our mayor in Storybrooke. We all made peace", she said to her trying to job her memory but it's not working. Wish Rumple walked behind Regina while looking at the people on the other side. He then leaned over her ear. "Rip her heart out and crushed it", he whispered. "No! Mom, no please!" Henry pleaded but Regina is too blinded by her rage that she is not listening to anyone anymore. She stepped in front of Ruby and without a word she ripped her heart out and then stared at it. "Regina…please", Ruby said while crying. Regina looked at her. "You should've thought a million times before you decided to go against me", she said and then crushed her heart.
