Somewhere Out At Sea (Storybrooke) – Present

Killian, Regina, Melody, and Neal are sailing towards a distant island. Killian and Regina are talking strategy while Melody looks out to the waters. Neal looks over and begins to walk towards Melody.

"You don't have to be worried," Neal said trying to unnerve Melody.

Melody places a smile on her face.

"I'm not worried," Melody stated with a cheerful tone. "I'm actually looking forward to defeating another evil."

"Really," Neal said with shock.

"This is just another adventure," Melody said. "It took me some time to realize, but thanks to you I can finally focus on what needs to be done."

Neal looks at her with surprise as he leans over on the ship. Melody looks down into the water with a smile.

"I miss being in the water, but I'm happy to be on land," Melody said giving Neal a playful nudge.

Kingdom of Maldonia – Past

A woman walks into a store with dolls hanging all over the walls. She continues to walk through the store intrigued by the décor that she does not notice Facilier entering the room from the back. The woman is revealed to be Morgana with a smile on her face as she walks closer to Facilier.

"I heard that you can make things happen," Morgana stated with sureness.

Dr. Facilier smiles exposing the gap in front of his teeth as he leans forward into the light.

"If you want something to happen then we can make a deal," said Facilier with curiosity as he walked closer to Morgana.

"There is someone in a distant land that I need you to make disappear," Morgana said maliciously.

"Now why would I do that madam," Facilier said as he gazes into Morgana's cold eyes.

"I know that you practice one of the dark arts," Morgana said as she slowly paced around Facilier. "This little brat stole everything from me. I have a feeling that she will be a threat to not only me but to your goals as well.

Facilier turns around and contemplates the words of Morgana.

Granny's Diner (Storybrooke) – Present

Raven and Henry are eating at Granny's. Raven glances over to Henry who is gazing out of the windows with a blank expression. Raven reaches over and grabs Henry's hand. Henry snaps out of his daze seeing that Raven was smiling at him.

"You worried about them aren't you?" Raven said with a comforting voice.

"Yeah, I just hate that I can be there with them fighting," Henry said slamming his fist down on the table.

Raven is quiet not knowing how she could really help and comfort Henry. Henry notices how nervous Raven is.

"I'm sorry," Henry said looking at Raven. "I never felt so helpless before. I have always been there with them. Every battle that my family faced we did it together as a family.

"Let's figure out a way to help your family," Raven said with enthusiasm. "Facilier might have something in his occult shop that could help the others."

Raven and Henry race out of the diner.

The Other Side – Present

Killian, Regina, Melody, and Neal are walking through a cave with caution not knowing what to expect. Melody is wearing the salmon pink biker jacket that Emma Swan has given to her. Neal and Hook are carrying their swords.

"Welcome to the Other Side," said Facilier appearing from a cloud of smoke.

Neal and Hook quickly step in front of Regina and Melody with their swords drawn. Facilier smiles and waves his hands, which causes their weapons to disappear. Regina steps in front conjure her ball of fire and throw it at Facilier who negates it.

"The magic that I possess is so much more than what you can comprehend," Facilier said as he vanishes and reappears in front of Melody.

Melody turns around and sends a wave of magic that pushes Facilier away.

"You will not terrorize us anymore," Melody said with conviction.

"Why are you here Savior," Facilier said with a smile. "Am I really your enemy or is your hatred for me misplaced by others perception of me."

"Don't listen to him, Mel!" Neal shouted.

"These people are so rude," Facilier said as he waved his hand causing an eggplant-colored cloud to engulf him and Melody.

Melody and Facilier have vanished from the others.

Mama Odie's Occult Shop (Storybrooke) – Present

Henry and Raven sneak into the Occult Shop, which was now owned by Facilier. Raven looks around and notices that something was missing.

"Hey," Raven said looking at the wall. "It looks like something was hanging her, but it's gone."

Henry walks over to the wall.

"What if the other side is not what we think," Henry stated as he begins to think. "There are so many variations of our stories. What if the other side is just another realm with different versions of us? A completely darker version of ourselves."

"Why would he want to bring the dark versions of ourselves to Storybrooke," said Raven with confusion.

"You're right," Henry said. "Maybe we're thinking about this wrong."

"What if Facilier is trying to bring someone else over," Raven said looking at Henry. "He always refers to his friends. What if that's his plan? He wants to bring something dark to our world.

"We need to get to that island," Henry said.

Kingdom of Maldonia – Present

Melody appears inside a castle wearing a formal gown. She looks around and notices that she is alone. Jazz music begins to play as Facilier appears. He approaches Melody and the two begin to dance. Melody tries to break away, but Facilier used his powers.

"I think you upset some really powerful people," Facilier said with a smile.

Melody begins to become uncomfortable. She continues to try to break free from Facilier hold.

"I'm not the one that wants to hurt you. This is bigger than me. I am just a stop, but I am not the final threat you will face dear savior.

Melody is engulfed by a cloud of smoke.

The Other Side – Present

Melody returns to the cave. She looks around and begins to run trying to find the others. Raven and Henry arrive in the cave. Regina begins to throw her fireballs at the wall trying to find an opening. Facilier arrives in front of Henry, which causes him to draw his sword.

Facilier raises his cane and the two begin to battle. Melody arrives and uses her powers, but Facilier is unaffected. Regina uses everything in her body and creates a giant fireball that breaks to the wall with Melody, Raven, and Henry.

Facilier strikes his cane on the ground, which causes a group of shadowlike creatures to form on the ground.

"This is not over my dear savior," Facilier said knocking Henry away. "I will be back, but next time I will have my friends."

Facilier disappears and the cave begins to shake and crumble.

"I think I know his plan," Henry said looking at the others who are beginning to become frantic.

"Let's talk when we are out of this mess," Regina said as she used her magic to protect the group from the falling rocks.

The Other Side – Present

Melody, Raven, Regina, Killian, Neal, and Henry are racing towards the portal opening. Neal and Henry draw their swords as they prepare themselves for battle. In the distance, a group of shadows is coming at full speed towards the heroes. Facilier laughter echoes throughout the cave. Melody and Regina focus their attention on the closing portal. They begin shooting purple and teal waves of magic into the portal, which starts to expand the portal.

"Hook!" Henry yelled looking over his shoulder to Hook.

Hook jumps through the portal. He extends his hands as Raven hurdles out. A moment goes by before anyone else comes out of the portal.

Melody turns around to see that the shadows are getting closer to her friends. She turns around and conjures a ball of water similar to Regina's fireball. She tosses her magic towards the shadows, which causes a wave to push them back but it does not completely stop them.

"Regina, you have to go next," Melody said as she returned her focus to the portal. "We need you to keep the portal open from the other side. We're right behind you."

Regina looks at Melody and nods in agreement. Melody takes a deep breath knowing that she would have to hold the portal open on her own until Regina makes it through. Regina jumps through the portal.

"It's becoming unstable," Raven said looking at her friends inside.

Regina takes a deep breath and resumes using her magic to keep the portal open.

"I don't know how much longer I can keep this up," Regina said in a strain.

"You guys have to hurry," Killian said.

Melody is clearly exhausted from exerting herself. Regina's stamina is also beginning to drop noticeably. Neal looks over to Henry and nods. Henry makes a run towards the portal and jump. Melody smiles knowing that this would be the last time she would see her friends. She turns towards Neal who has a look of confusion.

"You need to jump through," Melody said as she tried to catch her breath.

"I'm not leaving you," Neal said reassuringly.

Melody looks over her shoulder to see that Regina has just collapsed from exhaustion. The cave walls begin to crumble and the ground begins to shake. The portal begins to close. Melody snaps her fingers and a teal cloud begins to engulf Neal.

Neal is looking into the portal to see Melody who faints as the portal closes. A dark wave of magic explodes throughout the sky.

The people of Storybrooke gather around in the town square. A stage with a podium is set up with press seated waiting for the meeting to start. A black limousine arrives and a leg is seen stepping out. Mayor Debbie Warren looks to the crowd with her sunglasses on. Mayor Warren begins to walk through the crowd. She is emotionally distant, very intimidating, mysterious, and cold-hearted. Henry arrives with a browned-haired young man in his mid-twenties who has an expression of boredom.

"Why do we need to be at this meeting Unc," said the guy looking at Henry who is not paying attention.

Raven is navigating through the crowd when she bumps into Henry. Their eyes meet, but Raven continues to walk away as if they were strangers.

Henry returns his attention back to the young man.

"Can you stop complaining all the time Neal," said Henry as the resumed moving through the crowd finding a spot.

Mayor Warren steps onto the podium removing her glasses. She looks into the crowd and cracks a smirk that sends chills across the entire town square.

"Storybrooke is our home," Mayor Warren said aloofly. "We have an obligation to take care of this place. This is a new era for this town and as your Mayor, I promise to uphold the values set before me. Thank you…that's all."

Mayor Warren places her sunglasses back on and walks off the stage.

Island – Four Years Later

A portal opens on the sands of the island. A now older Melody runs out from the portal with a look of relief on her face. Melody looks out at the sky with a smile on her face as she takes in the fresh air.

"It's been a long time," Melody said looking at the sky. "I'm finally home."
