The people of Storybrooke arrived in the Enchanted Forest and started for the castle. Leroy ran up to Snow and David, "we have a problem."

"What's wrong?" Snow asked.

"Regina's missing."

"I'll walk back and try to find her." Snow found Regina burying something within the woods. "What are you burying?"

"It's none of your business."

Snow walked closer, "it's your heart. Regina, you can't do this."

"No, I can't live without my children or Emma. If I do this then the pain won't be as bad."

"I know how you feel. Your family is my family too. Now, put your heart back, and let's go."

Regina did and began to cry, "Odette isn't even a year old yet. I can't believe I did this to you."

Snow took the woman into her arms to comfort her. "It's okay, shh, we forgave you. We had one advantage and that was we didn't even know we had a daughter. But, you are not going to place a forgetting spell on yourself. We'll find a way back."

"How do you know that?"

"Because we always do." Snow pushed Regina to the ground when a flying monkey came towards them. They tried to fight it off, but it grabbed Regina. Snow pulled her from its grasp and an arrow got rid of it. They turned to find Robin Hood. He joined everyone else in their quest for the castle.

"So the Wicked Witch is occupying the castle?" David asked.

"Is it east or west?" Leroy asked.

"Does it matter?" Snow asked.

"Well, yeah," he said, "one you drop a house on and the other you throw a bucket of water on."

Regina decided that she would sneak in through an underground tunnel and disable the shield that had been modified to resist her magic. Robin followed her, "look I'm not in the mood for pleasantries. I had to leave my true love and three children behind for their own safety," she told the thief. Robin said nothing else unless it was related to their quest. They were able to get the Wicked Witch out of the castle but discovered that in order to defeat her they needed to enact the dark curse again. Too bad the witch showed up and modified it right before it took effect. Now the past year would be lost to everyone in Storybrooke.

A year and a half after leaving Storybrooke, Emma, Remy, and Henry were getting ready for their day when there was a knock at their apartment door. "Boys, will you go help Odette?"

"Sure, mom," the teens went to help their two-year-old sister.

Emma answered the door, "can I help you?"

"I know you don't remember, but your family in Storybrooke needs you," the man said.

"My what? Where?"

"Emma, look," the man showed the blonde photos of her with the people of Storybrooke.

"I don't understand."

When Emma looked at one of the pictures, Hook poured one of the potions into her coffee. Emma took a sip and tightly shut her eyes. When she opened them, she looked right at Hook. "Do you remember now?"

"Hook?"

"Great, I have another for Henry and Remy."

Emma let Hook in and the boys were inside putting Odette's shoes on. "Boys, I need you to trust me," Emma said.

"Mom, of course we trust you," Henry said.

"I need you to drink these," Emma held out the vials.

Henry and Remy hesitated but took the vial and drank every last drop. They had the exact same reaction to the potion as Emma. "Mom," Henry looked at the man, "Hook?"

"What's Hook doing here?" Remy asked.

"Fantastic," Hook said, "I need to get you all back to Storybrooke."

"Why?" Emma asked.

"There's a new curse and your family needs you. The whole town does. We lost a year of our lives. No memories or anything."

"Just give us a second to pack," Emma said, "can you watch Odette?"

"Um, sure," Hook looked nervously at the toddler.

"Hook, she's two."

"That's what scares me."

Emma rolled her eyes and went to pack.

Emma and the kids entered the Nolan residence.

"The kids have grown up so much," David said.

"It goes by quickly," Emma told her dad.

"Emma?" a voice from above said.

"Mom, you're?"

"Yeah, a lot has happened," Snow commented with her hands on her belly. "I really wish I could stay, but I have somewhere I need to be."

"We've actually been staying with someone who needs our help. You are all welcome to stay here, though," David added.

"We need to go find mom," Henry said.

"She's not here right now," Snow told the boy, "she's working on something."

"What?" Remy asked.

"It's not my place to say."

Snow and David left a confused family behind. Emma knew that something wasn't right. She had a feeling her parent's entire story involved Regina. But why would they be staying with her? What could Regina need help with?
