Caitlynn sat in the shop alone, waiting for the curse to happen. When it happened, Caitlynn wasn't under the spell. She looked very surprised by it. 'What did Gold do?' She thought. 'Or is it the connection from my twin sister?' Then she walked to the door as then Gold walked inside his shop. "Gold, it appears that I'm not affected by the curse."

Gold looked at her, blinking a bit. "Oh." He walked towards her. "How did that happen?"

"I don't know, I hoped you would know." Caitlynn replied to him.

"Are you sure that you are not affected by the curse?" Gold asked to her.

"Where is Aubrey?" She fired back.

Just then, their daughter walked in the shop, who hesitated to come into the shop with her father, but did it anyway, because of the people that were outside of the shop. They were very angry at each other. "Mommy, daddy, what is going on? Why are people angry?"

Caitlynn looked at her daughter. "There is a curse, that makes people do this."

"Wha…?!" Aubrey looked with eyes widened.

Then Gold crouched down to her eye level, making his daughter to look at him. "It is a curse, that's making people hate each other and angry."

"Oh, Why would someone do this, daddy?" Aubrey asked to her father.

"Someone who is very sad and angry about what had happened in the past." Gold replied to her.

"Okay, daddy." Aubrey nodded to her father.

Then Gold stood up and looked at Caitlynn. "I think that you not affected by the curse that you here in the shop, I have the shop protected for curses and potions."

"So, I can't go out of the shop?" Caitlynn asked to him.

"Maybe you can, but I don't know for sure." Gold replied to her.

Just then, Caitlynn and Aubrey went behind the curtains as then Hook enters the shop. "Where's the missus? She turned homicidal on you yet?"

"None of your business. What kept you?" Gold asked to him.

"Well, it's like swimming with sharks out there." Hook replied to him. "The minute one of them tastes blood, they'll tear each other apart."

"Well, count your blessings you're not one of them." Gold comment.

"Why was I spared the cloud's curse?" Hook asked confused.

"Because your heart wasn't in your chest, dearie." Gold replied to him. "It was here in my shop with me. In protective custody, so to speak."

Hook sighed, before he asked. "What is it you need, Crocodile?"

"Once I finish packing, I'm gonna take Caitlynn and Aubrey to the town line." Gold replied to him. "I need you to find Henry and do the same thing."

"So you still think you're leaving?" Hook looked at him.

"Oh, ye of little faith." Gold glanced at him as he grabbed the magical hat. "Tomorrow night, when the stars in the sky align with the stars in the hat, I shall finally cleave myself from this dagger and be on the other side of that ice wall before dawn."

Hook glared at him. "Are you saying there's a bloody way out of here?"

"Dark One always finds a way." Gold comment.

"Well, if the Dark One is so powerful, why doesn't he magic his grandson to his side?" Hook mimicked him.

"Because that would require me knowing where his mothers have locked him away for safekeeping." Gold looked at him. "Now unless you really, really have no need for that tongue, I suggest you slither back outside into the hostile current and find Henry. You'll be needing this."

"You won't win. Villains never do." Hook looked at him.

"Don't be ridiculous, dearie. When Caitlynn, Aubrey and Henry wake up tomorrow morning in New York City, they won't remember a thing about tonight." Gold glared a little at him. "I'll tell then the Snow Queen destroyed Storybrooke, whilst I saved everyone I could. I won't be a villain. I'll be a hero." Then Hook leaves the shop.

Later that day, Emma and Elsa came into the shop, Emma called. "Gold?" No reply. "Caitlynn?!"

"Yeah." Caitlynn appeared by the curtains.

"Can you help us?" Elsa held up her wrist.

Emma eyed at her sister. "Are you under the spell?" She asked, skeptic.

"No, Gold thinks that I'm protected in the shop." Caitlynn replied to her twin, then she looked at Elsa. "I don't know if I can help."

"Are you sure?" Emma looked at her.

"Yeah." Caitlynn nodded.

"Then what you think of me?" Emma asked. "I need to be sure that you aren't affected by the curse."

"Alright." Caitlynn nodded. "I think of you that you are a great sister in general."

Emma looked at her, seeing that she is speaking the truth, that she isn't effected by the curse, but found it still strange. "Okay." She nodded. "Can you help us?" She pointed at her wrist.

Caitlynn walked towards her sister, waving her hand on the ribbons. "It's strong magic, sis."

"What kind of magic?" Emma asked to him.

"The magic protecting this ribbon is just too powerful." Caitlynn replied to her. "Love, the magic is protected with love."

Elsa nodded to Caitlynn. "I guess the Snow Queen meant what she said about her love."

"I'm sorry." Emma sighed. "I was too busy thinking of ways to punch her to retain that."

Elsa remembered something. "She's said the love flowing through our ribbons was without equal." She said to them.

"Maybe without equal, but not without an opposite that's equally strong." Caitlynn explained.

"What?" Elsa asked confused.

Emma glanced at her sister, understanding her as then she told to Elsa. "If her amplified love put these ribbons on our wrists, then maybe what we need is someone's equally amplified hatred to get them off."

"Emma you're a bit prickly, but you're certainly not hateable." Elsa looked at her.

"Tell that to Regina." Emma looked at her. "I'm prickly?"

Elsa gave her a look. "If you let Regina out while she's under the influence of the Snow Queen's curse, she'll kill you."

"She'll try. But right now, it's..." Emma was interrupted.

"A theory." Elsa spoke up.

"The best chance we have." Caitlynn looked at them.

Emma sighed. "If Storybrooke wants to survive, Regina needs to hate me like she's never hated me before."

A little while later, Gold came back to the shop as Caitlynn on a chair as Aubrey was asleep and was in the bed from the shop. "My love?" Caitlynn looked at her husband, he looked back at her. "What's going on outside?"

"The curse is still active." Gold replied to her.

"I figured, cause, my sister and Elsa were here." Caitlynn sighed.

"What were they doing here?" Gold asked curious.

"Something about their ribbons." Caitlynn replied to him.

"What about their ribbons?" He asked to her.

Caitlynn sighed. "They wanted to break the spell that was on the ribbons, but it didn't work so they went to Regina. Something about hateable, the ribbons are full of love, so yeah, that's that. And I helped them a little." Then she smiled sheepishly. "It won't go in the way what we are planning, right?" She looked at him.

"No." Gold replied to her. "It won't, because I know they would do anything to stop this curse."

"Yeah, I know that too." Caitlynn told him. "And I know that Hook will fail to retrieve Henry. Henry is a smart boy, even now with the curse."

"I was afraid you would say something like that." Gold sighed. "Because when they stop the curse, Henry wouldn't never come with us, even the curse is still under us. He wouldn't come with us."

"With you maybe not, but with me maybe, if something happens to my sister and Regina." Caitlynn looked at him. "Not that something happens to them."

"You are right." Gold nodded to her.

"When I'm not right." She had a grin on her face, that would say that she was almost always right.

Gold walked towards her. "Well…" She gave him a look as then he said. "Almost anytime."

"Yeah." She looked at him.

"Hmm hmmm." He nodded to her as then they kissed.

Sometime later, Caitlynn looked outside from the shop as then she saw that the people weren't cursed anymore. "I think Emma has done it." She comment.

Gold walked closer to her. "Well, your sister is something special."

"Yeah and you wanted to leave without my sister." Caitlynn comment annoyed.

"A mistake." Gold commented.

"Yeah." Caitlynn didn't believe him. Just then she saw her parents, Emma and all the others outside their shop. "Look."

Gold nodded. "I see." He said to her. "Why don't you go to them?"

"No, this is her moment." Caitlynn replied to him, revering to her sister.

He nodded. "You are right."

"hmm mm." She comment as then they could hear her parents and the others.

"Emma!" Mary Margaret shouted to her daughter.

"Mom." Emma shouted back, hugging her mother.

Just then, Henry saw his mother, Regina. He hugged her. "Mom!"

"Henry." She hugged him back.

Then he saw his other mom, Emma. "And mom."

Just her baby brother wakes up. David said to them. "And he's finally waking."

"Look, I know that we were under the Snow Queen's curse, but..." Mary Margaret began as she was interrupted by David.

"We were under a curse. It's okay." David reassured her as then they kissed.

Just then, Hook comes into the shop and said to them. "Henry got away."

"We know, we see him with Regina and Emma." Caitlynn comment, turning to look at him.

"So you failed. At kidnapping a child." Gold comment as Caitlynn face palmed.

"Well, perhaps you could say my heart wasn't in it." Hook comment annoyed.

"The Snow Queen's plan also failed." Gold told him. "But mine won't. Enjoy this snowfall, dearie. It'll be your last."

"Then grant me one dying wish." He pleaded.

"I'm not in the business of making deals with you anymore." Gold told him, sternly.

"Leave Emma and the rest of Storybrooke be." He told him anyway. "There's no need to harm them."

"When I step over that town line with my magic intact, Emma and Storybrooke have nothing to fear from me... As long as they don't get in my way." Gold told him. "But I can't make that same promise for the rest of the world."

"I promise, he wouldn't do that." Caitlynn reassured Hook.

Then Aubrey awakes and grabbed their jackets. Then they leave the shop with Hook standing in it still.
