August is heading to Melissa's mansion. Heading to the doorway until he finally realizes he can't get in.

"MELISSA!" August yells

Melissa opens the door.

"Oh. Sorry. (Melissa reverse the spell.) Quaeso et simulacra modis Fiat lux venit. Aperi ianuam. (Let there be light, I pray thee, and wondrous-came. Open the door.)" Melissa stops chanting

August get's in.

"Protection spell?" August asked Melissa

"Yeah. Tyler and Jenna are asleep. Did they stop the shadow?" Melissa asked August

"No but they will. Pan switched bodies with Henry." August said

"That's why he's been acting so weird." Melissa said


In the convent.

Mother Superior's body is laid in an open casket as three of her fellow nuns are in mourning. Tyler tags along. He, David, Hook, Neal and Tinker bell approach from behind.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we need your help." Tinker bell said

"With what?" Nun 1 asked them

"The Black Fairy's wand is here. We need it." Neal said

Nun backing away slightly.

"It's a terrible thing, but what's coming is worse. Where is it?" Tinker bell asked the nun

Before the nun can answer, a pounding noise comes from outside. They all turn to see something flying at high speed around the building windows.

"What the hell was that?" David asked

"You can say that again." Tyler said

"Pan's shadow." Hook said

They see the Shadow on the other side of a stained glass window attempting to get in.

"What does it want?" Nun 1 asked again

"The wand." Hook said

"Run, run run!" David said

The nuns usher out of the room as the Shadow enters the convent.

"Stay covered! Over there!" Hook said

They run to hide behind the church pews.

"So all we have to do is light the damn candle, right? That's how you trapped it in Neverland?" Tyler asked Neal

"Yeah. This time I say we get rid of it for good." Neal said

"I'll draw it." Hook said

"You sure you want to do this?" Tinker bell asked Hook

"It's the only way to prevent this bloody curse from obliterating us all, then it's a risk I'm willing to take." Hook said

"I thought you'd only risk your life for love or revenge." Tinker bell said

"One other important thing—me. (Climbs out from behind the pew) (To Shadow) Hey! (Hook ducks as the Shadow lunges down at him. He flashes a smirk.) That the best you got?" Hook asked the Shadow

The Shadow roughly knocks him off his feet; sending Hook sprawling onto the ground. David rushes to pull him back behind the pew.

"Can you trap it?" Tinker bell asked David

"No, it's too high. We gotta get closer." David said

"And I can't fly up there." Neal said

"There's got to be a way." Tyler said

"Unless. (Neal looked at Tinkerbell.) Tink." Neal said

"If you didn't notice, I don't have my wings." Tinker bell said

"Use pixie dust." Neal said

"It doesn't work." Tinker bell said

"You didn't make it work cause you didn't believe in yourself." Tyler said

"Tyler's right. All you have to do is believe in yourself. You can do it again." David said

Tinker Bell slides out of the pew and uncaps the vial of pixie dust. It begins glowing green. She closes her eyes in concentration, to which the dust begins working for her. Neal hands her the coconut halves. She lights a flame on the candle and flies into the air to entrap the Shadow inside. Once the lid is placed on, she comes back down to dump the coconut halves into an open fire.

"Well done, Green." Mother Superior

Everyone looks behind to see Mother Superior; restored to life.

"Blue. You were..." Tinker bell said as Mother Superior finishes her sentence

"Gone. I know. But when you killed the Shadow, mine was returned and I was revived. Thank you. You finally believed in yourself, Green. Tinker Bell. Welcome back." Mother Superior said

"I'm a fairy again? Even after I disobeyed all your rules?" Tinker bell asked Mother Superior

Mother Superior laughs. "I might have been overly strict. You deserved your wings, Tinker Bell. And you have earned them back many times over." Mother Superior said

"Thank you." Tinker bell thanks Mother Superior

Mother Superior materializes it in her hand and holds it out to them.

"Go, save us all." Mother Superior said

Mother Superior hands the wand to Neal.

Neal departs from the convent with Tyler, David, and Hook.


The pawnshop.

Both Emma and Regina are sitting with Henry when they turn to see David, Hook, Tyler, and Neal arriving in.

"She's back." David said

"That...uh...That blue fairy. She gave us the wand." Tyler said

"Do we need anything else?" Emma asked Gold

"Only one more item." Gold said as he opens a cabinet to take out a bracelet

"What is that?" Mary Margaret asked Gold

"This is one of the only useful things that I managed to pilfer from Greg and Tamara before they left for Neverland. It renders anyone with magic utterly powerless." Gold said

Regina is disdainfully. "I haven't forgotten about all that, by the way." Regina said

"Let me see your wrist, Henry. (He cuffs it on Pan's arm.) I want to make sure when my dear old Dad awakes that he is weakened. This will lock his powers." Gold said

"So what happens now?" Henry asked his grandfather

"I enact the spell, you fall into a deep sleep and when you awake, you're back in your own body." Gold said

"Then you hang into that scroll and come find us as fast as you can." Regina said

Neal hands the wand to his father.

"I gave my heart to Pan. I thought I was being a hero. I'm sorry." Henry blaming himself

"You're not the one who needs to be sorry." David said

"Pan does. Trust me. He'll pay for what he's done." Tyler said

"It's time. (Henry lies down on a cot.) Keep your eye on the wand." Gold said

Henry closes his eyes his grandfather casts the spell. Pan's body begins convulsing.

"What's happening?" Tyler asked Gold

"Henry's spirit is leaving Pan's body." Gold said

The shaking continues and gradually subsides.

"It worked." Regina said

"Let's go find our son. (Everyone begins leaving the shop. Belle and Neal follow suit. Melissa and August tagged along.) What are you guys doing here?" Emma asked both August and Melissa

"We've dropped Jenna at nuns and headed here and heard what the others did." Melissa said


All approach the clock tower building as Henry, now back in his original body, runs out from the library.

"It's me, it's me! It worked! (He rushes to hug both Emma and Regina.) Mom, mom... I just saw you guys. You guys just saw me." Henry said

"But we didn't see you." Regina said

"He's got it. (She is handed the scroll from Henry. When she gives it to Regina, a burst of purple light comes from the scroll and the mayor passes out onto the ground.) Regina!" Emma said

All converge around Regina in concern.

"Regina!" Melissa said

Emma tries to shake awake Regina.

Regina awakens. She gets up. "What happened?" Regina asked them

"Are you okay?" Melissa asked Regina

Regina was in a pensive, distracted tone.

"Yes, I'm fine." Regina said

"What is it? What happened when you touched it?" Mary Margaret asked Regina

"I saw what needed to be done." Regina said

"Mom, are you going to be okay?" Henry asked his adopted mother

Regina places a hand under Henry's chin.

"The important thing is you will be." Regina said

Henry grabs her hand in reassurance. Suddenly, the scroll disappears from Regina's palm.

"No, he won't." Pan said

Pan walks up to the group. They all back away in stun.

"You little bastard." Melissa said

"He has the..." Hook said as he was cut off

Pan binds everyone in place with a freezing spell. He holds up a scroll.

"Curse? That I do. Look at you all. A captive audience. I could play with you like a pack of dolls, couldn't I? I think I'll start with these two. (Pan walks over to Belle and Neal.) Hmm. You both look so adorable. Hard to tell who to kill first. (His gaze was between both of them.) No, it isn't. (He points to Neal.) You. You first. (Points to Melissa.) On second thought. You first. I never staked a vampire before not less a hybrid. I'll just kill your new born." Pan said

From behind, Gold clamps a hand on Pan's left shoulder and tugs him away from them.

"Stay away from them." Gold said

"How about this? The worm has teeth. (In a mocking tone) You're here to protect their "loved ones"." Pan said

"I'm not gonna let you touch either one of them." Gold said

"Oh, I'd like to see that." Pan said

"Oh, you will. Because I have a job to finish, and I have to do whatever it takes. No loopholes. And what needs to be done has a price. A price I'm finally willing to pay. (Looks to Neal) I used the curse to find you, Bae, to tell you I made a mistake. To make sure you had a chance at happiness. (Pan laughs.) And that happiness is possible. Just not with me. I accept that." Gold said

"Pretty, pretty words." Pan said

He looked at his son. "I love you, Bae. (Gold looks at Belle.) And I love you, Belle, you made me stronger." Gold said

"Stronger, yes. But still no magic." Pan said

"Oh, but I don't need it. You see, you may have lost your shadow, but there's one thing you're forgetting." Gold said

"And what's that?" Pan asked his son

"So have I. I sent it away with something to hide." Gold said

He raises his hand into the air; summoning his shadow back with the dagger. As Gold takes hold of the dagger, the shadow goes back into him. Then, he forcibly holds Pan against himself.

Pan struggling to get free.

"What are you doing?!" Pan asked again

"You see, the only way for you to die, is if we both die. And now... now, I am ready. (Gold stabs Pan in the back with the blade, but also impales himself with it in the process. Pan screams in pain while Gold remains silent. A cloud of black smoke covers Pan, who disappears. As the smoke dissipates, Malcolm appears in his place.) Hello, Papa." Gold said

"Rumple, please. You can stop this. Remove the dagger. We can start over. (Malcolm smiles.) We can have a happy ending." Malcolm said

"Oh, but I'm a villain. And villains don't get happy endings." Gold said

Gold twists the dagger to embed deeper into both their wounds. Malcolm gasps in agony. A golden light peeks out from the blade and begins to shine even brighter. As Malcolm stops resisting the inevitable, Gold places a kiss on his cheek. The light engulfs them as they both disappear out of existence. The remaining scroll drops to the floor while the freezing spell on the group wears off. All are visibly in shock over the unexpected turn of events. Belle collapses on the ground in a fit of grief. The group are still reeling from witnessing Gold's sacrifice. Belle, unable to hold back her heartbreak, begins crying.

"No... Rumple! He's-he's gone!" Belle said

Regina slowly kneels to pick up the scroll.

"Regina? Are you okay?" Mary Margaret asked Regina

"I'm fine." Regina said as she stand back up

"I'm so sorry." Emma apologize to Neal

Belle quivers as a tear slides down her cheek.

"My father did what he had to do." Neal said

"He saved us." Melissa said

"Regina, don't let him die for nothing. (Regina doesn't respond.) Regina?" Neal asked Regina

"What?" Regina asked Neal

"We're here for a reason, love. Pan." Hook said

"Is dead." Regina said

"His curse remains. Can you stop it, or shall we all preparing our souls 'cause mine is gonna take some time." Hook said

The curse's green smoke creeps out of the wishing well in a continuous stream as it spreads.

"IT'S HERE! (Leroy, in a panic, runs up to the group pointing in the direction the curse is approaching from.) It's here! The curse, it's here! It's coming from all sides! There's no escape." Leroy said

Neal hugs a worries Henry.

"It's not too late. We can still stop it, right? Regina?" David asked Regina

"Regina?" Melissa asked Regina

"Yes. Yes." Regina said

"W-what's the price?" Emma asked Regina

"Yeah. Gold said there is a price. What is the price?" Melissa asked again

Regina turns around to face the group.

"It's mine." Regina said

"What are you talking about?" Melissa asked in confusion

"It's what I felt when I... first held it. I have to say goodbye to the thing I love most." Regina said

Emma turns to look at Henry, who approaches forward to stand beside her.

"Henry?" Emma said

"I can never see him again. I have no choice. I have to undo what I started." Regina said

"The curse that brought us to Storybrooke?" Mary Margaret asked again

"That created Storybrooke. It doesn't belong here, and neither do any of us." Regina said

"So breaking the curse destroys the town." Tyler said

"It will wend out of existence as though it were never here. And everyone will go back to where they are from. Prevented from ever returning." Regina said

"We'll go back to the Enchanted Forest?" Emma asked Regina

"All of us. Except Henry. He will stay here because... he was born here." Regina said

"Alone?" Emma asked in confusion

"What about my unborn child? I mean, my unborn child is magical. I can't leave my Jenna." Melissa said

"I'm sorry Melissa. But you don't have a choice for that matter. (Regina looks at Emma.) You will take Henry. Because you're the savior. And you were created to break the curse. And once again, you can escape it." Regina said

"I-I don't want to. We'll both go back with everyone." Emma said

Melissa shed a tear.

"She's right Emma. She can't be with Henry. And I can't be with my daughter." Melissa said

"If I don't pay the price, none of this will work." Regina said

The curse's thunder sounds near in the distance.

"Emma, you have to go." Mary Margaret said

"I just found you." Emma said

"And now it's time for you to leave us again. For your best chance. For his." Mary Margaret said

"Tyler and Jenna can stay with you." Melissa said

"No. N-no. I'm-I'm not... done. I'm the savior, right? I'm supposed to bring back all the happy endings. That's what Henry always said." Emma said

Mary Margaret smiles.

"Happy endings aren't always what we think they will be. Look around you. You've touched the lives of everyone here." Mary Margaret said

"But we're a family." Emma said

"Yes, and we always will be. You gave us that." Mary Margaret said

"You and Henry can be a family. You can get your wish. You can be like everyone else. You can be happy." David said

"You can treat Tyler like he's your brother." Melissa said

"It's time to believe in yourself, Emma. There's time for you to find hope." Mary Margaret said


Everyone is gathered at the town line where Emma's yellow bug is parked. Archie, rest of the dwarves, Mother Superior, Jenna and Tinker Bell have joined them as well. Emma speaks to both Archie and Belle, and then makes her way over to David and Snow. She throws herself into their embrace as does Henry. The boy pulls away to say goodbye to Regina. He hugs Regina. Emma moves from her parents to Neal. Emma embraces him, and he pulls away a moment later.

"Tyler I..." Melissa said as Tyler cuts her off

"Just stop. You wanted our daughter and yourself not to have too much horror. Since this unborn baby is connected to the other world." Tyler said

"Its time for you to raise her. When the curse hits. I want you and Jenna to stay with Emma and Henry. You guys can visit Mystic Falls. Elena and Jeremy can come and visit where ever you guys end up. (Melissa looked at her daughter.) Your father is going to take care of you. He's going to watch you by your side. Give you mac and cheese. Read You bedtime stories. (She kisses her daughters forehead.) (Whispers.) I love you, Jenna." Melissa said

Melissa cries. August comforts her. Emma talking to Regina.

"You cursed them and they were miserable." Emma said

"They didn't have to be. (Grasps Emma's hands) My gift to you is good memories, good life for you and...(Regina turns to look at Henry. He comes to her side.)...Henry. You'll have never given him up. (Tearfully) You'll have always been together." Regina said

"You would do that?" Emma asked Regina

"When I stop Pan's curse and you cross that town line, you will have the life you always wanted." Regina said

"But it won't be real." Emma said

"Well, your past won't. But your future will. Now go. There isn't much time left till the curse will be here any minute." Regina said

Henry gives his adopted mother one last hug. She kisses him on the forehead. Melissa embraces hugged Tyler and their daughter.

"If they ask. Tell them, I died in a fire." Melissa said

"I will." Tyler said

Melissa gives her daughter a necklace.

"Something you won't forget about me." Melissa said

Melissa hugged both Emma and Henry.

Mary Margaret approaches a tearful Emma with a smile and plants a kiss on her temple. The curse is rapidly surging towards the group as Emma, Henry, Jenna, and Tyler walk towards the car and get in. Regina tears off a piece of the Dark Curse scroll as it glows purple. She crumbles it into a ball and generates it into magic on both her hands to strike the massive cloud of green smoke as a counter begins driving out of town as both the green and purple smoke mingle and engulf all the townspeople. Once they cross outside of town, the line on the ground is no longer visible.


New York City.

One year later.

The building room alarm clock chirps at eight-fifteen a.m. Emma reaches over to turn it off as "Charley's Girl" by Lou Reed begins playing in the background. For breakfast, Emma makes scrambled eggs for herself, Henry, and Jenna as Henry waters plants in their apartment.

"I've got to head out." Tyler said

"Daddy. Don't you want breakfast?" Jenna asked her father

"I would love to. But I've to go to work. (Tyler kisses his daughter on the head.) Love you." Tyler said

"I love you too." Jenna said

"Later guys." Tyler said

"Bye." Both Emma and Henry said

Emma sets down three plates of pancakes with the eggs as well as matching cups of hot chocolate for both of them.

"Mom, you forgot something." Henry said

"Right, cinnamon. (Grabs the sprinkler and gives it Henry, who pours cinnamon on his hot chocolate) And chocolate sprinkles on Jenna's." Emma said

Both Emma and her son clink their cups together before drinking.
