Chapter 25: Saving Henry

As they all have moved forward, everybody there is on edge for fear of what's going on with Henry, they all hope that he will be found in time. All of them at least are trying to find hope in the darkness. Trying to find faith for Regina, Emma, Killian, and the Dark One as they approach into the rowboat and head to Skull Rock. The questions, the worries of everyone before they left came uprooted into their minds fearful for what the four will come into contact once they arrive at Skull Rock.

Rumple, Killian, Emma, and Regina are sitting in a rowing boat as they make their way to Skull Rock, which they stare in awe. Killian and Emma, who are working the oars, as Rumple and Regina opposed to helping the one-handed pirate finds it ludicrous to do such a thing continues rowing and steers them in the direction of the giant skull's mouth.

Upstairs, in the main part of the cave, the walls of which have skulls carved all over them, Pan and Henry are seen entering, and the former remarks, "This is it. The place you're going to save magic." Henry asks why it has to be there, and Pan explains that this is the location from which Neverland's magic emanates. The two of them then approach a giant hourglass, the base of which is configured from golden skulls, and Henry asks what it's for. Pan explains that it marks how much time they have left before Neverland's magic runs out, and Henry points out that it's almost empty, the golden sand having nearly completely vacated the top section. Suddenly, Pan feels a disturbance exterior to himself, and Henry asks the demon child if something's wrong. Pan, who smiles calmly, answers negatively and tells Henry to come with him. The two boys begin walking away from the hourglass and into another section of the cave, and Pan tells Henry that there's something he needs to take care of before they can get started. Henry sits down and nods, and Pan begins making his way elsewhere.

Soon, after the rowboat has docked, the four rescuers are seen stepping off and Emma notices footprints in the ground, announcing that they're the marks from Henry's shoes. She comments that Wendy was right and Pan and Henry are in the cave; she uses her magic before making her way up the stairs however as soon she did her magic, she found that freaking Peter Pan put on a protection spell. She quickly told the group about the protection. Regina states that there must be a way to break it, so she casts a fireball in her hand and throws it at the invisible, magical wall, but when she does so, the spell causes the fire to rebound, and the four of them duck. Rumple says that she can try all she wants but Pan's magic is too powerful... "At least for you."

The Dark One then simply passes through the barrier and onto the steps, and the others ask how he did it; Rumple explains that the spell is designed to keep anyone who casts a shadow from entering, and everyone there realizes that he doesn't have one. Rumple says that Pan knows it, which is why he cast the spell that he did. He adds that it isn't about keeping them out, it's about drawing him in, as Pan knows he won't give up the chance to finish what he came there to do. "You did come here to help and save Henry... good to know that you weren't lying" Emma realizes, and Rumple tells her now it's time to give Pandora's box to him so that he can finally destroy his father or at least lock him up for good. Emma begins passing over the box, however, Regina snatches it out of her hand. She approaches Gold and tells him that he better come through, or she'll make whatever Pan has planned for him to look like a child's play. She asks if he understands, and Gold, who reaches through and takes Pandora's Box away from her, tells Regina that a simple "good luck" would have sufficed. He then heads up the stairs, ready to confront Pan.

Emma, Killian, and Regina are still waiting at the entrance to Skull Rock, and the latter asks what they're supposed to do now. They all look around thinking what they could do or rather as Killian looks at his wife and Regina, thinking that maybe they could do something with their magic but what can they do is the question while as he thinks this Emma, who's staring intently up at the sky, says, "The moon," and the others, who look up at it also, wonder what she means. Emma goes on to say that the moon is what casts their shadows and asks if there's a way to block it out using magic. Killian asks if she's suggesting causing an eclipse, and wonders if it's even possible, and Regina says that maybe it is. "I need help," she adds, still looking up at the moon, and a shocked Emma replies, "Why?" and Regina tells the blonde that it requires a lot of magic. "Follow my lead," the Queen instructs Emma, and the pair of them slowly raise their hands to the moon. Killian, who's been standing up looking at the two, okay he was staring at his wife Emma, continues to watch especially when they combine magic and its effect. The result: a purple light emanates from both their hands, as the shadow begins casting over the full moon.

As Rumple is ascending the stairs with Pandora's Box, he then puts the box in his other hand and uses his free one to dig into his inside pockets, taking out the straw doll given to him by his father.

Peter Pan stands within Skull Rock as his son Rumpelstiltskin approaches slowly from behind. Hearing footsteps, Pan turns around, and greets Rumple with, "Hello, laddy." He then notices that he has "come bearing gifts", referring to Pandora's Box in his hand. Rumple stoically demands to know where Henry is, trying to find him first before opening the lid of Pandora's Box as he moves around carefully around his father. Malcolm as Peter Pan asks why he told the group the truth about him as much as Rumpelstiltskin didn't want to, and Rumple tells his father that he was being cautious around the Joneses and then Malcolm points that he's a coward as Rumple brings that back to his father as the day that he left him and viewed him at that ever since. Pan points out why hasn't he opened it, why shouldn't he'd already been in the box in Rumple's hand, and the Dark One asks if the demon man child thinks he can't do it, wondering if he let him inside just to taunt him. Pan refutes this, saying he merely wanted to see his son again and give him one, last chance: "Stay with me. Let this go. Let's start over." Rumple asks if Pan thinks he wants to be with him; that he could ever forgive him after he abandoned him, and Pan tells his son that he's disappointed, as after all these years he thought he'd be more... understanding, considering he did the same thing to his son, having traded Baelfire for the power of a dagger, whereas Pan traded Rumple for youth. He says they're a lot more alike than Rumple cares to admit, but the Dark One vehemently assures his father that they are nothing alike. "Of course, we are. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Neither one of us was cut out to be a father, m'boy." Rumple points out the key difference in their fatherhood days: he regretted leaving his son the moment he let him go through the portal and spent his life trying to find him and get him back, whereas his father simply forgot about him.

Pan exclaims that he never forgot about Rumple and asks why he thinks he calls himself "Peter Pan." Rumple tells his father not to believe that he thinks for a moment it's because he cares for him, but Pan assures him that he does. He tells Rumple that all he must do is put down that box, and he'll see it's true; they can make the fresh start he always wanted... together. Just as they planned. Rumple then says that he is going to make a fresh start, just not with Pan, and he proceeds to wave his hand over Pandora's Box in an attempt at opening it with magic. This fails, and the box does nothing. Pan smiles as Rumple again attempts to open it, but again, nothing happens. He looks up at Pan and says that he doesn't understand, and the demon child reveals that Rumple doesn't have it, before holding up the real box, which is in his hand. Rumple realizes that his father switched them, and Pan reminds his son of is "Find the Lady" skills. He accuses Rumple of still having trouble believing, and reminds him that in Neverland, all one must do is think of something to have it; even something fake, referring to the Pandora's Box replica in Rumple's hand. "But the real one," Pan says, holding up the actual box, "Let's see what it can do." He proceeds to wave his hand over it which lights up the jewel on the top, releasing a red vapor which envelops Rumple. Pan apologizes to his son but reminds him that he had his chance and the choice was his, and soon enough, the red vapor is drawn back into the box, taking Rumple with it. Pandora's Box then returns to its normal state, with the Dark One trapped inside, and Pan smiles victoriously.

Henry is staring up at the giant hourglass in Skull Rock whilst Pan emerges from one of the lower levels, Pandora's Box still in his hand. He sets the box containing his son down on a rock and turns to Henry, telling him that it's time to save magic, and Neverland. Henry asks Pan what it is he must do, and the demon man child tells the boy that he must give him his heart - the heart of the truest believer. "You mean... I have to believe?" Henry asks, confused, but Pan corrects him, saying he must literally hand over his heart. This leads Henry to question what will happen to him, and Pan assures him that he'll become the greatest of all heroes. "You could tell me the truth," says Henry, "I know all magic comes with a price. Saving it must come with a price, too." Pan assures Henry that he would never lie to him but says that he's right: there is a price. He pauses but soon lies to him that once he saves magic, he'll have to stay with him on the island, and Neverland will become his new home. He goes on to say that he knows it's a huge sacrifice but asks Henry if it's not worth it.

This leads Henry to state that heroes must make sacrifices all the time, something which his family taught him, and Pan points out that they would be proud if they could see him now as he's about to save them all. They look up at the hourglass, which is very nearly empty, and Pan asks Henry if he's ready. "Yes," says Henry hesitantly, and Pan then offers to "help" the child. He grabs Henry's hand and waves his own over it, enchanting it. Henry stares down at his now enchanted hand and plunges it into his chest, something of which he is now capable, and right before the child rips out his heart, which glows golden and green, his three parents are seen to be rapidly approaching and arrive just in time to see him do it. Henry, who's holding his own heart in his hand, is called out not to do whatever Pan's telling him to do by all of his parents. "It's a pleasure to see you too, Captain," Pan sarcastically snaps, annoyed, "Not to mention your wife, the savior along with the Evil Queen." Emma then tells her son that he needs to get away from Pan now as he's trying to hurt him, but Henry compelled with Peter Pan's magic, his belief in him suddenly finds himself refutes this, saying that the heart of the truest believer is going to save magic, as well as all of them.

Regina assures her son that that's not true and that this was never about magic; she begs that he believe them and goes on to state that the only thing Pan's interested in saving is himself. "That's not true!" Henry exclaims believing in Pan's lies, and Pan assures the child of this. Killian continues to try and convince Henry otherwise, telling him the truth that Pan can't live without him dying and that if he gives him his heart, it's going to kill him. Pan tells Henry that his family are trying to prevent his belief and tells him not to let them; "Remember, every hero gets tested."

Emma, Regina, and Killian appear hopeless, and the former tells Henry that she knows what being a hero is like, and this isn't it. The kid then asks Pan why his parents would lie, and the demon man child says that that's what adults do and that Henry should know that better than anyone. "Henry," Regina begs, "You have to believe us."

Then Emma and Killian talk to Henry, as one of their last attempts to not do the unthinkable, by allowing himself to die. "Henry we would never lie to you. Why would we lie to you, Henry?" Emma says then Killian included, "You have to believe us, Henry. You are our son, a Jones, and a Mills. We do believe in you; however, this is not the way to do it, lad. Besides, you still have to meet your older sister, Felicity." He said hoping that what they all said would be enough.

Henry listens and deep down inside of him, where his core being, his soul is, he listens to them, to his parents as he now ensues of the internal fight inside that he's going through. He is trying to fight Peter Pan who is inside his head to do what he said however the rational part of him, the intelligence that he has known something is wrong and tries to push him, Pan out of his head. But Pan tells the child that his parents don't care about Neverland; they know that if he gives his heart to save it then he'll have to stay and are being selfish because they don't want to lose him. "Henry, you have to trust us," Emma pleads, but Pan reminds the boy that he's the only one who's ever been honest with him; the only one who ever believed in him. "This is your choice, not theirs," he assures him, looking up at the almost empty hourglass and telling him that he has to choose now as they're running out of time.

"We love you," Emma adds. "More than anything," Regina adds further. "I love you too," Henry assures them, finding himself obeying Pan's voice inside his head and finds he had said that he loves them too and in which gladdens them however Pan has won as he found himself saying, "But I have to save magic." And with that, Henry takes his heart and plunges it into Pan's chest. This then causes a burst of green energy to ensue from the demon man child, which knocks Emma, Killian, and Regina off their feet. Henry too collapses, and we see that the green pulse has spread all across the island. Felicity and Tinker Bell, who are tying up Lost Boys back at Pan's compound, are hit by it, as are David and Mary Margaret, who are trekking up Dead Man's Peak in search of magic water. David grabs his wife's hand, the two of them confused as to what just happened. Back in Skull Rock, Henry lies unconscious on the ground, and Pan smiles, his new source of magic allowing him to hover above the ground. Emma exclaims her son's name and runs to him along with Regina and Killian. The three of them try to wake their son but are unable to, and Pan's smile grows wider as he flies higher into the air. As he does so, he looks down at the three parents and their possibly deceased child, pulsing with an almighty supply of magic.

Henry lies on the floor with his eyes closed, not responding as Emma, Regina, and Killian attempt to wake him up. As Pan lands on the ground, Emma angrily asks what he did to Henry, but the "boy" says it was all Henry as he offered his heart with his own free will. Emma draws her sword, stating she'll take it back, but when she lunges forward Pan suddenly vanishes, reappearing behind her. He grabs Pandora's Box from a rock. He tells Emma that he doesn't think she has it in her to kill him...just like Rumpelstiltskin didn't. Emma and Killian question where Rumple is, so Pan explains that he's in the box he's holding. Pan tells the group that unfortunately for them, Rumple can't hurt him anymore...and neither can they. "Really?" Emma asks as she jumps forward, cutting his arm. She asks him how it felt, so he tells her it was like a tickle. Pan then uses his magic to fly away, evacuating Skull Rock. Once he's gone, Emma asks Regina how Henry is doing. She doesn't respond. Emma then rushes to Henry's aid as Regina promises her son that he'll be all right and they'll get him home.

Regina casts a preservation spell over Henry's unconscious body, explaining that it'll keep him in his current state for a while longer, giving them a chance to get to Pan. Emma asks Killian if he has any idea where Pan went. Killian says he knows where he lived, but Regina points out that they all know that. She asks if he thinks Pan is stupid enough to go back. There was no response before Emma tells Regina that's enough, but the queen tells Emma not to say what's enough as her son is dying. Emma points out that he's their son, so she knows how she feels. Regina angrily states that she has no idea how she feels, pointing out that Emma has her parents, a pirate as a husband, a daughter, basically a family. She tells Emma that she has everything, so she can't possibly know how she feels...since all she has is Henry, stating he is everything. Emma kneels to Regina and tells her she's right about not knowing how she feels. She then asks her what they should do to save Henry. Regina simply says she doesn't know. Killian points out that Pan was powerful enough before and now with Henry's heart, he's not sure that they can hurt him. With that, Regina notices something on Emma's sword; blood. She points it out and explains that she was able to make him bleed. "We can hurt him" she begins, "And if we can hurt him, we can kill him," she says with an evil smile, "And we will."

On the main island of Neverland, Regina, Emma, Killian, and the unconscious Henry have regrouped with everyone else and they've just explained what has happened. A worried Snow points out that if Gold is in a box then David can never leave the island. Charming points out that he's made peace with that and it doesn't matter, stating that all that matters now is Henry. He asks Regina how much time they have, so she explains that the preservation spell will wear off within an hour. Neal points out that if Pan is airborne then he could be anywhere, causing Hook to state they should start looking. With that, Regina storms towards the Lost Boys, who were sat waiting with Wendy, and she angrily demands to know where Pan is. She grabs Felix by his shirt while he mockingly tells her that Pan is gone and there's nothing she can do. He adds that Pan has already won - and he never fails. A furious Regina threatens that if he won't talk then she'll make him talk. As she raises her hand to cast a spell, she's grabbed by Emma, who asks her to wait. Regina says there's no time, but Emma explains that torture isn't there best to move here. She tells Regina to look at the kids, stating they've been to hell and back. As Regina looks at the sad-looking kids, Emma says they need to try something else. Regina points out that they don't respond to reason before asking what else she has to offer. Emma looks at Snow as she tells Regina "What every kid wants...a mother."

Henry remains unconscious as Killian sits beside him, worried. Meanwhile, Emma is with the Lost Boys. She assures them that they won't hurt them before telling them they're making a terrible mistake being loyal to Pan. She explains that for a long time she was an orphan and never thought she'd find her family, just like all of them. She continues to say that today she was reminded she's not alone and she has a lot of people that love her. She tells that to the Lost Boys that if that can happen to her then it can happen to them. Felix comments that Pan is the only family they need, but Emma explains that family doesn't do what he did - lying and convincing them to do terrible things. She adds that he lied to Henry and convinced him to give up his own heart. A young lost boy explains that it was to save the island, but Emma says it was to save himself. Felix tells the Lost Boys not to listen to Emma, assuring them that Pan cares about them. Emma insists he doesn't, but they do, adding that they can save them and take them home with them.

Emma says there's no reason to fear Pan any more, because until he absorbs the power from Henry's heart then he can be stopped. Snow timidly tells the Lost Boys that all they have to do is tell them where Pan is. An angry Felix stands, demanding they leave while Pan allows them to breathe, however, Killian sits him back down using his hook reminding the boy who he is as Captain Hook. Emma asks Felix where Pan is, but he simply says he's not telling. Thinking all hope is lost, Emma looks saddened for a moment...until a young Lost Boy asks if they can take them home. Worried he'll betray Pan; Felix tells him to shut up. Emma ignores Felix and assures the young boy they can, causing him to reveal that he's at his Thinking Tree. A furious Felix roars with anger, demanding they stop. Another Lost Boy confirms that he's at his Thinking Tree, infuriating Felix even more. They explain that the tree is where he goes to be alone and it isn't far. Emma asks if they can tell her where it is, so the young boy confirms that he can...but only if she promises to take them with her. Emma leans close to the boys, and with genuine sympathy for them, assures them all that they're going to go home.

An unconscious Henry is laid on the ground as Wendy places a wet cloth onto his forehead. Meanwhile, Regina, who is talking to the Lost Boys, confirms with one of the boys if Pan is in the Pixie Woods. The boy explains that it's just north of them and it's where the pixie dust used to grow. Emma asks Hook if he knows where that is. He tells her he does, explaining that the whole area is deserted now and nobody, but Pan has stepped foot into the woods for centuries. Neal comments that they should make history, but Emma orders him to wait here because when they get Henry's heart back, they're going to need help on both ends. Charming asks what they need from him and Snow, so Neal says they're going to get the Lost Boys on the Jolly Roger where Felicity is at and get ready to fly home. Hook comments on wishing that he wouldn't have burnt the Pegasus sail and would've used that method instead of that bloody shadow that will be on his ship, on his mainsail to be precise. Killian then assures Emma that nothing will happen to Henry when she and Regina are away, but Snow interrupts, claiming that since she's trapped on Neverland for eternity, she's going to spend her last moments with her daughter. "Okay, let's do it," Emma tells her mother before preparing to leave.

Regina, Emma, and Snow are trekking through the jungle until they eventually come to a clearing. Noticing Pandora's Box sitting on a rock, Regina stops the group and tells them to look. They cautiously approach it, and when nothing happens, Snow steps forward to grab it. Regina warns her to be careful as Pan wouldn't have just left it for no reason. Snow tells her old foe that it's David's only way home and without Gold, they're stuck here. She goes to grab the box, but a vine from a tree behind them wraps around her and ties her up. Emma and Regina are soon grabbed too, and the three women find themselves tied to a tree. "Are you still at it?" Pan taunts them as he appears from behind the tree, adding them Peter Pan never fails. He explains that he didn't expect them to find him, but supposes since they're mothers, they're quite tenacious about their offspring, "Believe it or not, I understand that," he adds. He then tells them that if they're hoping to see Henry again, there's only one place they'll be reunited...and that's in death. An angry Regina tries to reach forward for Pan, but she can't break through the vines.

Pan taunts Regina, Emma, and Snow, who is still tied to the tree, asking if they're having trouble moving. He explains that it's no surprise given where they are, telling them it's their regret that holds them back. Emma asks what he's talking about, so he tells them the tree is the site of a very important event for him, where he abandoned up his boy. Emma then asks if he regretted it, losing him, but Pan proudly says he doesn't. He picks up Pandora's Box and explains he's got his son "all boxed up" so he doesn't lose him again. A realization came through Snow as she figured out where the not so friendly foe is locked in the Pandora's box, in the minds of Emma and Regina they thought that somehow the Dark One Rumpelstiltskin didn't trap Peter Pan aka his father as he was planning to do, and yet somehow something went wrong, and they didn't know what had happened when those two were confronted. While Snow has concocted an impromptu plan. A bewildered Snow questions how it's possible because he's younger than the Dark One, but Pan points out the age difference between her and Emma. Regina calls Pan a fraud, stating his magic has weakened and he can't even hurt them, let alone Rumple. Pan says she's right but goes on to explain the tree will protect him until his power is restored and then he'll get to have some "fun", hinting the death of everyone.

The three women attempt to break from the vines, but they only tighten, causing Emma to find another way. Pan tells her she won't get to him as the tree attacks the regret inside anyone that comes near it, claiming Emma has plenty. She questions him if the regrets count when you were cursed when she couldn't remember anything. She wasn't exactly herself, and if she did remember she could've taken care of Henry. Then Pan states even with Henry's heart inside of him, he can tell that he can feel the times where she let him down. Pan said with a little bit of lying, knowing that the brat of him, of Henry, has forgiven his birth mother. Although that hurt Emma, she can feel the tightening of the vines on herself begin to loosen up, slowly. Apparently, the tree of regrets doesn't count when one is cursed.

Snow demands he leaves her daughter alone, so he does just that, moving onto her. He states that Emma had no chance at being a good mother after the example Snow set, abandoning her for twenty-eight years. "Are you finished?" Regina scoffs, causing him to move on to her and say she has the most to regret of all. "Yeah, there's one problem with that. I did cast a curse that devastated an entire population, I have tortured and murdered, I've done some terrible things. I should be overflowing with regret, but, I'm not..." she tells him before breaking the vines off with ease, releasing all the women, "Because it got me my son" she finishes before plunging her hand into the chest of a shocked Pan, ripping out Henry's heart. Once removed, a weak Pan drops to the floor and tries to reach for Pandora's Box, however, Regina grabs that too. "Now...let's go save Henry," she says, holding the two objects with a triumphant smile.

Once she saw and felt the green pulse of magic, Felicity Jones knew something went wrong as she felt something turning in her heart, like something was missing. She knew something bad happened to Henry. It wasn't until when they brought Henry's unconscious pale body to the Jolly Roger when she realized that Pan is immortal and is gone. She felt like a stone like she couldn't breathe as she hears from her papa as he explained what had happened and what is happening now.

Aboard the Jolly Roger, a tied-up Felix is placed onto the ship among with the other Lost Boys as everyone prepares for their trip home. After having retrieved her son's heart, Emma gets on the ship and asks for Henry. Killian points him out with Felicity behind him as Emma rushes over to him with Regina. Regina tells her son to hold on before placing his heart back into his chest. After a moment of everyone watching him tentatively, they notice he isn't waking up. Emma and Regina grow concerned, but they become relieved when he suddenly wakens.

Everyone all smiles with relief once Henry has awakened. Henry then gets a hug from his adoptive mother first then his mom, Emma, and then his dad. Instantly Henry apologizes, explaining he wanted to save magic and be a hero, but they assure him it's fine and now it's time to rest. Killian then welcomes his son, Henry to his ship and offers him the captain's quarters to rest in. Henry in his excited state didn't realize where he was until he looked around. Then near his parents, he sees a girl much older than him, she had slightly curly hair of which is dark brown with incredible blue-green eyes and notices she was crying out of relief. She seemed to be nervous as she got nearer to him and once, she did, he took in her appearance and suddenly he remembers when his dad said that he has an older sister. Is this his sister? Is this her? Is this Felicity?

As Felicity saw Henry waking up, she didn't realize that she was holding her breath. She looks at him and she doesn't know what to do as he apologizes and received hugs from all of his parents. She kept looking realizing that she needs to do something, like meeting her brother for the first time and it was then that she knew she needs to move closer to him and officially meet him. It was also in that moment when she realized that was crying, that suddenly when he had awoken all the fears and worries that she had were all gone. Suddenly she was right there in front of Henry and she smiled.

"It's finally a pleasure to meet you Henry. I'm your sister, Felicity." She said and instead of hello from her brother, he surprises her with a hug and immediately she returns it and feels like she could and would cry again. Then Henry breaks her heart more as he says, "it's nice to meet you too, sis."

Behind them were Emma and Killian with her parents, Snow White and David, and Regina who were looking at them seeing the scene as Henry and Felicity meet for the first time as brother and sister. It was such a bittersweet scene that Snow nearly cries, that even Regina felt she could cry, that the proud parents were happy to see them together. For Emma at this moment, her heart feels whole for the first time in a long time. She felt the happiness that was lost is now back as she feels complete, as she sees her family is complete. She then felt Killian's arm around her waist as he looks at her eyes, full of love, and in her deliriousness of happiness, she kisses him a chaste kiss. He then kisses her forehead as she found herself leaning in, her head near his chest, feeling bliss. At this moment she now knows for a certainty that she won't ever forget this. That this memory is now an important one and one she won't ever forget.

Then Henry yawns and everything was broken back into reality. Regina smiles at her son and tells him she'll tuck him in.

Below the decks of the Jolly Roger, a weak Henry is resting in bed as Regina sits beside him. "Oh, I know that look, that's five hours of Space Paranoids and too much pizza," she teases him. Henry comments that pizza's good, making Regina smile. She then without warning raises her hand over his chest and a magic glow emits from her as she casts a spell. When she's done, he tells her it stung and asks what it was for. She explains that she cast a spell so nobody can ever take his heart ever again. Henry hugs Regina again as he thanks her, causing her to smile before kissing his forehead. She assures her "little prince" that they'll be home soon and then she leaves him alone to rest. Once she's gone, Henry sits up in his bed to get comfy. However, once he lays back down, he's shocked to see Peter Pan appear before him. The evil man child draws a knife and apologizes to Henry that it had to come to this.

On the top deck of the Jolly Roger, Neal activates Pandora's Box, causing it to emit a red powder. The red powder then sets, and Rumpelstiltskin appears out of it, freed. Snow, Charming, and Emma watched in awe as Neal embraces in a happy hug with his father. Rumple asks where Henry is, and Emma assures him that he's safe. Rumple tells his son he was never going to hurt the boy. The Dark One explains that it was because he didn't want Neal to think he was as bad of a father as Pan was because they're both the same for abandoning their sons. Neal tells him they're not the same as he came back for him; the two men hug again. After witnessing this, Emma turns to her parents, stating Rumple is back, which means Charming can be cured and they can go home as a family. The three embrace in a hug. Suddenly, Rumple senses something is wrong, causing Neal to ask what's wrong.

Below the decks, a scared Henry asks Pan what he's doing. As he holds a knife at him, he claims he wanted his heart, but his mother took it away from him and left him for dead. He reaches his hand towards Henry's chest in an attempt to pull out his heart, but a barrier blocks him. A frustrated Pan says that's clever and instead reaches for Henry's back. He starts ripping out the child's shadow, but he's stopped when Rumple appears behind him and tells his father blood magic works both ways. He opens up Pandora's Box and Pan begin to get sucked into it. However, before he is fully taken by it, he casts a spell that causes both his and Henry's eyes to glow. After it's done, a worried look suddenly comes across Pan's face. However, before he can say anything, he's sucked into Pandora's Box. Regina suddenly arrives and rushes to Henry's side. The boy assures her he's fine, so Rumple comments that he's a strong boy, adding that she raised him well. This comment touches Regina.

Back on the top deck, everyone on the Jolly Roger is now ready to go home. Snow lines up all the Lost Boys, preparing them for the journey as Neal holds the coconut containing the Shadow over a cannon. After asking if Regina is ready, Emma lights the cannon. Just before it fires, Neal opens the coconut, sending the shadow flying into the air from the blast. Regina then uses powerful green magic to hold the shadow before merging it with the sail, turning it black. Emma asks if she thinks it'll fly, so Regina explains it has no choice. The savior tells them to get the hell out of Neverland, so Killian eagerly obeys and prepares to sail the ship. The Jolly Roger begins sailing through the ocean, and then as it passes Skull Rock, it lifts off into the air, sailing through the clouds.

As they fly, Charming turns to his daughter and reminds her of what she said when they first arrived on the island; that they'd need to work together. He confesses that he didn't think a hero, villain, and pirate could be united, but they were because of the most important piece of the puzzle, a leader. He also mentions that Felicity also has some of the traits of being a leader, however, she is probably good as an acting mediator, keeping everyone in line as he sees her near with her dad, Killian at the helm. Emma seems uncomfortable with being seen as the leader, however proud of her daughter as she looks over to her husband and daughter, and then tells him she's just glad they were able to get Henry home safe and sound with her family including them. As Snow feeds the Lost Boys, she looks over to her husband and daughter and smiles.

Meanwhile, Wendy is stood on her own, watching the clouds down below her. Tinker Bell approaches her from behind and tells her it must be better than being in a cage. The young girl asks if they're free, Tinker Bell confirms they are, assuring her she'll soon see her brothers. She tells the fairy she has something for her, something she could never use, but perhaps she can. As she passes a small vial to Tink, she explains that it's Pixie Dust from the last flower on the treetops. Tink sadly explains that she can't make it work as she has no magic since losing her wings. Wendy tells her she'll figure it out, "I believe in you, Tink" she smiles at her, causing the fairy to smile back.

Since Felicity met her brother, for the longest time in her life, at that moment she wishes that she wished for every year on her birthday came true. She met her brother, she is an older sister, and nothing else in the world matters as she stands near with her papa who's at the helm, steering the wheel into the heavens. Up in the sky, it's almost like reaching for the stars, reaching for a wish waiting to come true, if they come true. While it's different from water to air, she can't help feeling the same way, as if she's flying, that there's still the freedom that's lingering is still there. Feeling the breeze of the wind makes her calm and relax. She decides to stay there for a while.

For a while, she stays there enjoying the feeling. When Rumpelstiltskin got out of Pandora's box, he immediately went to Henry below decks saying he sensed something was wrong. He didn't say anything of what happened below decks but she had a feeling, an older sister feeling that something is wrong.

At the back of the ship, Henry emerges from the lower decks, catching the attention of Neal, who asks if he should be resting, however, the boy doesn't respond and is ignoring him. Emma then sees Henry and catches to what he is doing near Neal; to which he doesn't respond to as he didn't answer him, suddenly now worrying about Henry. She then tries to offer him some food if he's feeling up for it, but the young boy explains he's feeling better now, and the fresh air is probably good for him. Emma follows him and then tells her son, as he goes to the helm towards his dad, that Killian wants to talk to him for a little bit. Killian then tells his son that he knows they haven't had much chance to be a family, but he wants him to remember his promise to him when Henry came on his ship while Emma was in the sleeping curse, to know he will always be there for him now and forever as the two then embrace a hug.

When Henry came out of the room and is back on deck, Felicity knew something is still wrong with him. She didn't think much of it, as the day was overwhelming and was thus tired, instead of informing her mama or Rumpelstiltskin she decided to chalk it up for the reason that she was seemingly sleepy. She decided that it was time to go to her room and sleep after she watches her father and brother hug each other.

Meanwhile, Tinker Bell approaches Regina, telling her she's happy she got her son back, commenting that it seems the Evil Queen was able to love someone after all. "Yes, it seems" Regina smiles before telling Tink it seems that she was right. The fairy tells the queen she knew she still had some good in her. After saying this, a magical sound emits from somewhere. Regina tells Tink she has some magic left in her, pointing out the glowing Pixie dust in her hand. However, the glowing doesn't last long. A puzzled Tink asks what happened, so Regina tells her for a moment she must have believed.

A short while later, Henry walks across the deck and picks up a plate of food, sitting next to Felix and offering it to him. The Lost Boy tells him to go away as he's not hungry. Henry explains he came to thank Felix, so the Lost Boy states that no matter what the other traitors do, he's on Pan's side, "And Pan..." he begins to say being cut off by Henry, who finishes the sentence with "never fails". Felix is confused, so Henry, in a sinister tone, repeats that Pan never fails and he can't be stopped, even when they think he's defeated. Felix asks him if he thinks he's safe, so he assures him that he is because during their struggle his fate was sealed. He explains that the one in trouble is Henry. "But you're Henry" Felix comments, causing "Henry" to explain that he isn't anymore. Felix gets a grin on his face, realizing they switched bodies. "Henry" holds out the food once more, and this time Felix takes it, thanking Pan. "Now...let's play," Henry tells his friend.
