Isaac cuts a branch of wood to make a pen as then Gold and Caitlynn stood there as well. "Well, I'm not much of a writer, but I do know something about magic quills." Gold comment.
Isaac jumped as then he looked at them. "Such as?"
"Well, for starters, they must be sculpted from the wood of enchanted trees, which, unfortunately for you, is not an attribute any of the timber in Storybrooke possesses." Gold told to him.
"Damn it!" Isaac broke the wood and looked around him. "I need to go."
"Yes, you do." Gold nodded. "Or, um... You could come with us."
"Why would I do that?" Isaac walked a bit towards them. "You're quite possibly the biggest pain in the ass I have ever had the displeasure of writing about."
"Yes, there is that." Gold pulled out a magic pen form his pocket. "But there's also... This."
He looked at the magic pen. "What do you want from me?"
"You are gonna write me a whole bunch of new happy endings." Caitlynn replied to him as she linked arms with Gold.
"Okay." He nodded.
"I thought so." Gold told him as then Caitlynn teleported them, she didn't want Gold to use to much magic, they went to Regina's vault. When they arrived there, they went over to Regina as the others watched Isaac. "Your hands are tied, I'm afraid." Gold told her as Regina had woken up. "No more magic for you today."
"So now I'm your prisoner." Regina scoffed.
"You and the Author." Gold told her as Caitlynn stood by the hallway, but will say something if needed to. "Well, actually, he had the good sense to join the team, whereas you... You backed the wrong one."
"What about everything you said to me?" Regina asked as she glanced at Caitlynn. "You wanted me to find my happiness."
"Well, that's true. Just not at my expense." Gold looked at her. "You see, the affection I have for you, well... There are limits."
"What happened to you?" Regina asked to them.
Caitlynn walked up to her. "We lost everything."
"Just as you will if you don't do as I say." Gold added. "I found this in your pocket. Telephone number registered to a Robin of Locksley."
Regina stood up, looking angry. "Give that back."
"I'm guessing you have this number because you're worried about poor Robin Hood out there in the cold, harsh world." Gold held the paper in his hand. "And so you should be."
"What do you know that I don't?" Regina asked worried. "What happened to Robin?"
"Ask him yourself." Gold told her as then he waved with his hand as the handcuffs disappeared. He gave her the paper and the phone. "Call."
And so she called.

Meanwhile is it seven weeks ago, when they were banned, Caitlynn was by her mother and father as Gold went to look for his son's apartment, but something had happened and Caitlynn was called for it. It was Robin Hood, who had called her and told her what happened. Gold was in the hospital and had a heart attack as then she had quickly hung up and rushed to her mother to tell what had happened. So now they rushed over to the hospital, where Gold lied in bed and Robin waited in the waiting room. When they arrived there, they saw that Robin was waiting. "Where is he? Which room is he?"
Just then a nurse came to them. "Sir? Your friend's awake."
then they rushed over to Golds room as then they were stopped. "Sorry, you can't go there." a man told Caitlynn and Amelia.
"I'm sorry, I'm his wife and she's my mother." Caitlynn told him angry. "We are allowed to go in there."
"What my daughter is trying to say that we are all family." Amelia told the man.
"Papers?" The man ordered them.
Amelia smiled at the man as she put her hand behind her back and whispers something, then she let the papers see to the man. "Here you go."
She gave it to him as he checked it. "Your papers are alright. You may go into the room."
Amelia nodded as she pulled her daughter into the room, Robin was already there. Then Caitlynn looked at her mother. "What the hell did you do, mom?"
"Earth magic." Amelia replied to her. "It's different than your magic."
"What?!" Caitlynn exclaimed. "But… But… This is a world without magic!"
"It is, but also it isn't." Amelia told her seriously. "Your magic is about believe, mine is about the earths elements."
Caitlynn nodded in understanding. "I understand."
Just then Robin asked to Gold. "What did the doctors say?" As Caitlynn went to sit by Gold and Amelia was in the back of the room watching the others.
"Well, only what their small minds can comprehend." Gold replied to him as he glanced at Amelia, he was curious about her. "Prattling on about diets and exercise. They tell me it was a heart attack."
"Dark magic contains your heart." Amelia spoke to him as he nodded to her.
Then Robin told him. "But you have other ideas."
"My problem isn't physical." Gold explained it to him. "It's moral. All the dark deeds I've done... They've taken their toll, poisoned my heart... Thickened the blood. Back in Storybrooke, I used magic to protect myself. But out here... I won't last without some."
"Well, unfortunately for you, Dark One, there is no magic in this world." Robin told him as Amelia snored.
"There is a word called earth magic." Amelia walked up to him. "But you can't create believe magic here, only earth magic." Amelia held her hand up and let see a bit of her powers. "And I'm sorry but I can't help you, since you are from a different world." Then she put her hands down and looked at him, Robin stepped back a bit, looking in shock.
"True." Gold nodded to her as then he explained. "We can't create magic here. But we can use magical items if they were brought from elsewhere." The he looked at Robin. "Remember something from our past... The elixir of the wounded heart. Something I asked you to steal. Well, I think I might know where some of it exists. Right here in New York city. And I need you to get it for me."
"And why would I help you?" Robin asked to him.
"For the same reason you left the woman you love. You left Regina because you're a man with a code, a man of honor." Gold told him. "And that, despite everything, is the reason why you will save me, because you can't see a married man with a child die."

"The Wizard of Oak. That was his cover while in our world." Robin spoke over the phone.
"Well, apparently being great and powerful did not mean witty." Gold told him. "But he was effective. Zelena sent him to New York to keep an eye on Emma. She would have been a fool to send him without precautions... Magical charms, potions."
"And Zelena's no fool." Robin told him.
"No, she wasn't." Gold told him as then he glanced at Caitlynn and then he hung up. Amelia was there as well and looked at the couple.

Sometime later, Amelia went away for coffee as then Robin returned and found the potion. "You found it!" Gold exclaimed.
"About time." Caitlynn muttered.
"Indeed." Robin put the potion on the table by the bedside. "And now that I've made good on my promise, we need to strike a deal."
"Well, make it quick." Gold scoffed.
"Before this potion heals you, you will move on." Robin looked at him. "Your son's apartment belongs to me now, and I never want to see you there again."
"It's yours." Gold told him, desperately. "Take it. Now give me what's mine."
"Don't be so desperate." Caitlynn muttered into his ear.
"Good riddance, Rumpelstiltskin. Our dealings are done." Robin told him and gave him the potion from the tale.
"Goodbye, thief." Gold told to him as then he leaves from the hospital as then he drunk the potion. "It's not working. It's not working. Why isn't it working?"
"I don't know." Caitlynn replied to him.
Just then, Marian walked into the room, telling them. "Because it's not real magic."
Gold looked confused. "What?"
"What the hell do you know about magic?" Caitlynn asked to Marian.
Marian smirked, which was odd, because she didn't do that. "I tried to convince Robin to let you die, but he just wouldn't listen to reason. So here I am."
"You switched the vials." Caitlynn realized.
"I did." Marian looked at her as then she looked at Gold. "The one you drank won't cure your heart, but it will lessen the effects of seven cold and flu symptoms. Don't worry, it's non-drowsy."
"Why are you doing this?" Gold looked at her. "I've done you no harm."
"That's not exactly true." Marian replied to him as then she turned into Zelena and they looked in shock.
"Zelena... How is this possible?" Gold asked in shock.
"Imported magic, dear." Zelena smirked. "Never travel between realms without it. You remember the six-leaf clover from Oz, don't you? It's quite the effective glamour spell."
"No, no. I killed you." Gold pointed at her.
"Mm, you tried." Zelena shook her head. "When you stabbed me in that jail cell, I didn't die. My life force simply fled my body before it shattered. I had somewhere to go. Or should I say some time?"
"You followed Emma and Caitlynn through the time portal." Gold realized.
"That I did." Zelena explained it to them. "And when I realized what Emma had planned for Marian, well, I knew I had to get in while the getting was good. So I bided my time watching Emma and her one-handed lover scurrying about trying to right their mistakes, and... When I saw they planned on bringing Robin's wife back, I mean... Inspiration struck! And then I struck. For a few careless moments, they left her unattended, and that was all I needed... I killed her... And then I became her. I took her form. Do you know, it wasn't easy not being me, but... Knowing that it would ruin Regina's happiness... I mean, that made it worth every dull moment in her body."
"Nice plan, but you know there others who will ruin them." Caitlynn warned her.
"Marian... Never made the trip... To Storybrooke." Gold told to Zelena.
"No. No, dear." Zelena smirked and contiued to explain. "It was me all along. And, you know, no one's been the wiser. Not her husband, not even her child. I mean, she's as dead as, well... Your son. Oh. Oh, that's right. I suppose that means you never avenged his death. That...You failed. Oups."
Then Gold's heart stopped as Caitlynn rushed outside and called for help. "Doctor, someone, help me, my husband, please."
Then a nurse came and shouted to the others. "Code blue, 19. Code blue, 19."
"Hollow. What a beautiful echo." Zelena said as then the nurses and the doctors arrived. "Oh, please! Help him!"

Sometime later, Zelena looked after Gold, until he wakes up as Caitlynn was in the back of the room sleeping, when he was fully awake, Zelena spoke to him. "Shh. Shush, dear. Don't try to talk. Look at the magic in this world, Rumple. A tube that breathes for you. My, your predicament does look painful. You know, there's a time I would have relished this. And with your vendetta against me for the death of your son that would make this a strong practical choice. But, see, I'm not done telling you about my clever plan. I was going to use my little Marian-glamour to steal Robin's heart, to make him fall in love with me, to steal Regina's fated true love. How ultimate, you know? But I think that loss could finally be a wound that doesn't heal. Sadly, it didn't take. I can't win his heart. Something is standing in the way like a... Like a stone wall. Could be fate. Could be true love or some other bias in the universe towards those who deserve happiness. But whatever it is, I am certain that there is an author who can simply force a happy ending for me. And if there's anyone that could find him and bend him to their will, well, my money's on the Dark One. Or should I say the deathly pale one? Anyway, whatever your plan is with the Author, I want my happy ending built into it. You'd also have to stop trying killing me, of course. But, dearie, what does old Rumple get out of it? I mean, you are aware I have a certain potion that fixes hearts. But I don't know if it could cure this little lump of coal you've got in your narrow little chest. But it will get you back home. Your life for mine. That seems rather fair. Do we have a deal? So what do you think if we do? Simply blink." And he blinked.

Robin waited for Gold, Caitlynn and Amelia at the way out of the hospital. Gold looked at him. "I thought you never wanted to see me again."
"Well, after all the trouble I went to, I wanted to make sure you were well." Robin held up a box.
"Well, I am. Thank you." Gold told him.
Robin mention the box. "And I wanted to give you something. It's from the apartment, your son Baelfire's things. There wasn't much left. I thought you might want to have it."
He shook with his head. "No. No, thank you."
"No? Why not?" Robin asked him, confused.
"Because these are the remnants of Neal Cassidy, a boy who was in this land alone." Gold replied, explaining. "And all because his father was too much of a coward to hold on to what he had. I don't want a reminder of my failure, a reminder that all I really wanted was happiness. And when I had it... Couldn't recognize it."
"I know what you mean." Robin nodded to him. "With Marian... I wished her to come back every day. And then when she did..."
"You were in love with another woman." Caitlynn told him as she stood next to Gold and Amelia behind them.
"It's more than just that." Robin sighed. "She's... She's like a stranger to me now."
"Why did you marry her in the first place?" Amelia looked at the confused man.
"Cause I loved her." Robin replied, putting the box on the ground.
"And you thought she was gonna be your happy ending." Gold comment.
"Yes." Robin nodded.
"And is she?" Caitlynn asked to him.
"I don't know." Robin replied, shook with his head.
Gold looked at him as then he explained. "Well maybe you should take a piece of advice from a man who has pushed away every chance at happiness because it was never enough. If it's within your grasp, if you know... Where it is and who it's with... Then you should run to it, grasp it, and never let it go."

Present time as Regina called Robin, it was picked up. "Robin?" She asked.
"No, it's not Robin." Marian spoke over the phone.
"Marian?" Regina asked confused.
"Not exactly." Marian smirked and turned herself into Zelena. "Hello, sis." She spoke to her sister.
Regina couldn't believe it. "No... No, it can't be."
"Oh, but it is." Zelena smirked.
"Zelena." Regina asked confused. "But how? I saw you die."
"You thought you saw me die." Zelena corrected her.
"Where's Robin?" Regina demanded. "This is his phone. What have you done with him?"
"I haven't done anything except love and honor him in sickness and in health, to have and to hold and all that other wifely nonsense." Zelena simply replied to her.
"I-I don't understand." Regina glanced at Gold and Caitlynn.
"Well, you don't have to." Zelena told her. "All you need to know is that while your precious Robin thinks it's his wide-eyed wife cooking dinner for him every night, it's actually me. Oh, I've got to run, sis. He'll be home soon, and I've got a meatloaf in the oven."
"No... No." Regina was getting angry.
"Oh, you sound like you need a moment." Zelena told her "Take it. I'm sure we'll see each other again very soon. Ta-ta." Then she hang up the phone.
Regina looked at Gold and Caitlynn. "You knew."
"I told you, when I said, if I find out you double crossed me, I will make you life hell." Caitlynn told her. "And I think, I just did that."
"And that's why you will do everything I ask." Gold added, smirking at her. "Because one phone call from me and your beloved dies at the hands of your sister."
"She murdered your son!" Regina exclaimed.
"Well, Zelena and I have come to...An understanding." Gold explained it to her. "And now you and I have an understanding as well. Regina, you are vital to my plan to turn the savior towards darkness."
Caitlynn looked at her husband, muttering. "Yeah, you, but I hate that plan to my cuts."
"You made me a monster." Regina told him angry. "But I won't let you do the same to Emma."
"So you've made your choice, have you?" Gold looked at her. "You're choosing the savior over your beloved Robin Hood? Is that your final answer?" Then they waited for an answer.
