Two days had passed. Rumplestiltskin had lost all his strength. He couldn't love anymore. His heart had turned black, there was no more hope for the dark man. Regina returned Belle's heart. Belle was starting to worry about her husband who had betrayed her so many times. The sorcerer's apprentice came to his rescue and tried to destroy the darkness in his heart.
Meanwhile, at Granny's, Henry showed Regina behind her, Geppetto put his hand on Granny's shoulders and laughed with her. She was surprised to see them together but she recognized that they were cute.
"Do you know what that means mom?"
"That the older ones in Storybrooke are together", she quipped
"No August is home alone, you can go see him, mum, go before it's too late"
Regina squeezed her son's hand tightly and left the cafe. She was already far away when Belle asked everyone for help to save Rumple. Regina knocked on the door. She heard "one moment". Her heart was beating a mile an hour.
"Hi", he said with a big smile, "do you want to come in?"
"No I don't have it for long"
She looked him in the eye. She knew there would be no turning back after what she was about to do. She jumped to his lips as if they were her oxygen. From now on, she never wanted to be separated from him again. August took her face and returned her kisses fully enjoying the taste of her lips that he had so wanted to know in depth. When they parted, their gazes were intertwined and intense. The important thing had already been said and they feared that one more word or one less word would ruin what was beginning to be born. August kissed her again, passionately, and stroked her back.
They were both immersed in their hugs but the ringing of Regina's phone brought them back to reality. It was David.
"Regina, you have to come, we have a very big problem"
"What is happening ?"
"Emma became the dark one and she disappeared"
Regina hung up and looked at her new companion, reporting Charmant's words to him. August was worried about his friend. He followed Regina to Gold's store.
