Snow's hideout.
Snow White caught in a net while Prince Charming watches her. He was confronting her about the ring that she stole. Both Hook and Melissa sees them and emerges from the woods.
"She's telling the truth, mate. (Hook making a bow) Prince Charles." Hook said
"Queen Victoria." Melissa said
"Lovely ball the other night. The mutton was a tad overcooked, but that happens. Snow White doesn't have your ring." Hook said
"But we can tell you who does." Melissa said
"My princess. And we need your help to get her back." Hook said
"She has my ring? That's two women who robbed me. Where is she?" Prince Charming asked both Hook and Melissa
"That's the problem. The Evil Queen's castle." Melissa said
"Actually, that's not a problem at all. I know it well. It used to be mine. I can get us in there, but not from up here. So you let me down, (Mary Margaret looks at Hook.) you get your princess, (She looks back at Charming.) you get your ring and I never have to see your charming face again." Snow said
Prince Charming cuts her down.
They're on their way to the Dark Palace. Snow White sits uncomfortably in the cart.
"Apologies, lass. (Hook apologize to Snow.) So, about the healing?" Hook asked Melissa
"Right. Back in Mystic Falls. My friend Bonnie gave me a cure to make me mortal again. Truth is I never wanted to become a part vamp in the first place." Melissa said
"Why did you?" Hook asked in curiosity
"I wanted to protect my daughter. When I found out that I was a witch then I figure that I needed to become mortal again. So I took the cure." Melissa said
"Well, my confession. I shouldn't have never leave a friend. You were my friend and I let you down." Hook said
"I forgive you." Melissa said
Nightfall.
Prince Charming, Melissa, and Hook wait for Snow's return.
"You're exited for your nuptials?" Hook asked Charming
"I'm marrying Midas' daughter. What's not to be excited about?" Prince Charming said
"I don't mean to pry, mate, but you don't exactly look like a man who's doing this by choice." Hook said
"Mm. I always thought I'd marry for love. (Charming slightly shakes his head.) And here I am about to enter into what amounts to a business transaction. A merger of two kingdoms. (He sighs.) I don't know this whole ordeal makes me wonder if there's even such a thing as true love." Prince Charming said
"I once felt as you did, mate. All it took was meeting the right person and everything changed." Hook said
"Princess Leia? The one we're rescuing?" Prince Charming said
"That's his." Melissa said
"I'd to go to the end of the world for her. Or time." Hook said
"And she for you, I take it?" Prince Charming asked Hook
Hook chuckles and shakes his head.
"I don't know." Hook said
"What's the problem?" Prince Charming asked again
"There are many complications." Hook said
"Family? Because my father is making things quite difficult for me." Prince Charming said
"Aye. There's that. I'm not so sure her parents approve of me." Hook said
"Given the length you've gone to save her, they'd be crazy not to." Prince Charming said
"Hope, you remember that." Hook said
"What's your story?" Prince Charming asked Melissa
"I'm already happy with my life. My uh...my family didn't meet my husband." Melissa said
"Was it like a secret marriage or something? They didn't accept him?" Prince Charming asked again
"It's complicated." Melissa said
Rustling.
Prince Charming standing up, he draws his sword.
"What the hell was that?" Prince Charming asked again
Hook unsheathes his saber.
"I think we're about to find out." Hook said
Red Riding Hood came out.
"Hey! Who the hell are you?" Prince Charming asked Red
"Name is Red. I'm a friend of Snow's. She sent me to help you get into the Queen's castle." Red said
"How?" Hook asked Red
"You'll see." Red said
Dark Palace.
Near the dungeons.
A guard is standing watch. Growling a wolf approaches him. Drawing his sword to fight the wolf the guard is unaware that Prince Charming strikes a blow at his feet. The guard loses his balance and is knocked unconscious. Carefully, Hook advances, holding Red's cloak in one hand.
"I'm glad the wolf is on our side." Hook said
Hook throws the cloak on Red.
"Of course she is." Melissa said
"She's a fearsome one. (Charming get's out his sword.) Better hurry. When he awakes, they'll be onto us." Prince Charming said
"Wait. Someone is coming." Red said
They see Emma and a prisoner. Hook drawing his sword.
"Swan." Hook said
"Guys." Emma said
"What the hell are you doing? You're depriving us a rescue." Hook said
"Sorry. The only one who saves me is me. Speaking of which (Emma slipping the ring off of her finger.) I'm not gonna be around much longer unless we find where this belongs." Emma said
"I think that belongs to me." Prince Charming said
"You guys have a way out of here?" Emma asked them
"Follow me. Snow told me where to meet her." Red said
Woman walks past Emma.
"Thank you, Leia." Woman said
Hook, Melissa and Emma falling behind in order to speak with her.
"Emma. Please tell us you didn't?" Melissa asked Emma
"She was to be executed in the morning. I couldn't just leave her there to die." Emma said
"Actually..." Melissa was interrupted
"If she's to die, she pretty much has to." Hook said
Emma looked at Melissa's arm.
"I hate to break up a reunion but we have to keep moving. We have to find Snow White." Prince Charming said
They're wander through the upper floor of the castle. Below them preparations are made to burn Snow White at the stake. Hook watches the through a broken window.
"We have to get down there before it's too late." Emma said
"I don't think we can.
"She can't." Melissa said
Snow White is tied to a stake.
"No." Emma said
Hook puts his arm around Emma. Throwing a magicial fire ball the Evil Queen lights the stake. Melissa shed a tear. Emma sobs. Smiling The Evil Queen watches the stake burn.
In the woods.
A lone wolf howls.
"After my brother passed, all I could do was relive that final terrible moment. Don't do that to yourself, love." Hook said
"Same with my sister. I mean she's linked with Bonnie. If Bonnie dies then Elena will come back. But we're going to let Bonnie live. In our own ways. In times like these is try to live in the here and now." Melissa said
"Here and now. I'm still here. How's that possible. We saw her die. Which means I would never been born." Emma said
"You should have faded from existence." Hook said
"Exactly." Emma said
"Then maybe..." Melissa said as Emma finishes her sentence
"She's still alive. If Snow is out there, we have to find her." Emma said
Hook tries to shoo off a ladybug.
"Cursed vermin." Hook said
"We should head back to the Queen's castle." Melissa said
"Take a look around. (Again Hook tries to shoo of the lady bug.) Perhaps it's a trick by Regina." Hook said
"Whatever happened. Regina thinks Snow is dead." Melissa said
The lady bug lands on Emma's arm.
"Stay still, love." Hook said
Hook wants to crush the bug, when Prince Charming stops him.
"Wait! Don't harm that thing. When we were coming to rescue you, Snow told me what her dust would do to the Queen. She said it would turn her into a form that could easily be squashed. (Charming gently he picks the lady bug from Emma's shoulder.) A bug." Prince Charming said
"You think Snow turned herself into that?" Emma asked Prince Charming
"Well, if she timed it right, she could have escaped that fireball. Faked her death and flown away. (Takes a closer look at the bug) Yeah, that's her. Just need to find a way to bring her back." Prince Charming said
The bug buzzes.
"She's trying to say something." Melissa said
"Wonderful. Anyone fluent in bug?" Hook asked them
The Blue Fairy emerges from the woods.
"She's calling for me." Blue Fairy said
"Blue." Emma said
"That's right. And you are?" Blue asked Emma
"Leia." Emma said
"No, that's not it. But your secrets can be yours. I sense it's better that way." Blue said
"Can you bring Snow back?" Red asked Blue
"Dark magic did this to her. (Blue Fairy nods.) Light magic can undo it." Blue said
Blue Fairy Using her wand she transforms the bug into Snow White. Prince Charming laughs. Emma hugs her in relief.
"You're alive!" Emma said
Snow White flinches a little.
"Oh. It appears so. Thank you." Snow said
"Snow?" Red said
Snow White hugs Red.
"Red. I'm so glad to see you." Snow said
Crying Emma watches Prince Charming Red and Snow. Hook steps closer wiping away Emma's tears.
"Looks like we're back on track, love." Hook said
Emma nods.
"Yeah." Emma said
"We should be going." Melissa said
"Melissa you're keeping secret. The two of you. What's going on? (Melissa took off the small cloth on her arm.) You're human again. How is that possible?" Emma asked Melissa
"Bonnie found the cure for me. She was in a prison world. I thought she was dead. Her and Damon. But the spirits send them into the prison world where she's the key to bring herself and Damon back from the other world. Which is in the present." Melissa explain
"Melissa. I have a confession." Emma said
"Let's here it." Melissa said
"I'm sorry for everything It's just with me and Henry...(Emma sighs.) I wanted me and Henry to have a normal life. But I realized that I'm just running." Emma said
Emma hugs Melissa as she shed a tear and wrapped her arms around Emma.
"I forgive you too." Melissa said
Snow White hugs Red and then approaches Prince Charming.
"I suppose I should thank you. You saved me." Snow said
"Well, it seemed like the honorable thing to do." Prince Charming said
"I'm going to the stream to get some water. I can fill you canteen, if you'd like." Snow said
Prince Charming hands Snow his bottle. Emma overhearing the conversation.
"They're warming up to each other. This is good. This'll work." Emma said
"That may be, Swan. But we have another problem." Hook said
Hook nods towards the woman who sits in the distance.
"Emma..." Melissa said as Emma interrupt her sentence
"I had to save her." Emma said
"Sure, you did the noble thing, but she's supposed to be dead. Her presence in the Enchanted Forest could have unforeseen consequences." Hook said
"She's just a sweet, innocent woman." Emma said
"What, if she had a child who grows into a murderer? Or she gets tipsy some night and rides her horse into one of the dwarves and there are only six of them? Who knows? We're best not finding out." Melissa said
"She doesn't belong here." Hook said
"I know exactly what we can do. Take her with us." Emma said
"Come again?" Melissa asked Emma
"The future?" The woman asked Emma
"You can't stay here. You were supposed to die hours ago." Emma said
"I don't understand. I just wanna get back to my family." The woman said
"They need to believe you're dead." Hook said
"Trust me. I faked my death. You have to do it too." Melissa said
"All due respect, I don't trust you. Or believe you. So, unless you're kidnapping me I'm going to go find my family." Woman said
Melissa walks around her. She did a pain infliction on the woman and now she's asleep.
"Same spell you did last year with Regina and Cora?" Emma asked Melissa
"Yep." Melissa said
"Traveler got some juice in her." Hook said
"All this magic. Feel like I can't keep up." Melissa said
Prince Charming noticing the body lying on the ground.
"What happened to her?" Prince Charming asked them
"She's uh resting. What's up?" Emma asked Prince Charming
"Has either one of you seen Snow? She went to the stream but she hasn't- (Charming quickly searches his pocket.) The ring. She took it." Prince Charming said
"Do you know where she might be headed?" Hook asked Prince Charming
"She was seeking passage on a pirate ship. There's only one way to get to the harbor from here. The Troll Bridge." Prince Charming said
"Oh, no." Emma said
Emma heads after Prince Charming. Hook stops her.
"Swan, wait. The bridge. Isn't that where you want them to be?" Hook asked
"And isn't that where Snow saved your father from the trolls?" Melissa asked Emma
"Yes, but the only reason she was able to do that was because she had a weapon. The dust." Emma said
"Which she's already used on herself. Bloody hell." Hook said
"Come on. They gonna need help." Emma said
Running Melissa, Hook, and Emma head to the Troll Bridge.
Hook watches Snow and Charming leave the bridge. Prince Charming hands Snow White the pouch.
"It appears your parents didn't need our help after all." Hook said
Snow White hands Prince Charming his satchel. He takes his mother's ring out of the satchel. She takes the ring from him slips it on, and then takes a closer look at it. Emma watching her parents and smiling and silently cries.
"It's ok, Emma. Not everyone gets the chance to watch their parents fall in love. (Prince Charming hands Snow her bundle. Both of them walk away heading in opposite directions.) They're heading away from each other." Melissa said
"No, it's okay. That's how it happened the first time. It took my parents a while to accept their feelings." Emma said
"Must run in the family." Hook said
Emma takes Henry's storybook out of Hook's bag and opens it. One by one writing and pictures telling the story appear again.
"We did it." Melissa said
Dark Castle.
Rumplestiltskin prepares a potion.
"Your parents are together?" Rumplestiltskin asked Emma
"They're right back on track. We're ready to go." Emma said
"I see. (Rumplestiltskin notices Emma's cellmate.) And you brought some luggage." Rumplestiltskin said
"Long story. So, how's the portal coming? Can you open it?" Melissa asked Rumplestiltskin
"I cannot." Rumplestiltskin said
"Then what are you working on?" Emma asked Rumplestiltskin
"Oh, this is for me. A forgetting potion. I know too much about my future. The only way to protect it, is to forget it." Rumplestiltskin said
"Well, what about this wand? You said that could help us." Emma said
"Oh, that. Well, apparently, only those who used the portal can reopen it. So unless you can wield magic, I'm afraid, you're going nowhere. (Rumplestiltskin throws the wand to Emma.) Can you? (She remains silent starring at the wand.) Thought not." Rumplestiltskin said
"So, you just expect us to stay here?" Hook asked Rumplestiltskin
"What about protecting your future?" Melissa asked again
"That's exactly what I'm going to do." Rumplestiltskin said
Hook draws his saber.
"He means to kill us, Swan." Hook said
Rumplestiltskin giggles.
"No. I mean to put you someplace safe. Someplace even I dare not go. Where I store the magic that is too dark or unpredictable even for me." Rumplestiltskin said
"Rumplestilts...(A purple cloud covers Hook, Emma and Melissa.) Damn it. Melissa said
Rumplestiltskin's vault.
"Great." Melissa said
Emma walks around the room trying to orientate herself. Hook puts Emma's cellmate down on a table.
"No." Emma said
Hook is taking a look into a mirror standing in the room he notes that Rumplestiltskin undid the glamor spell he provided them with.
"At least he did us one favor. I'm devilishly handsome again." Hook said
Hook smiles. He opens a cupboard standing beside the mirror and takes out the urn stored inside.
"Don't touch anything! If Rumple is afraid of this stuff, there's gotta be a reason." Emma said
Hook places the urn on another table.
"I'm just trying to figure a way out." Hook said
Emma is desperate.
"I don't think there is one. And, what's the point. You heard what he said." Emma said
"You can. All he said we need is magic. You're the savior." Melissa said
"She's right Swan. You can do it." Hook said
"Melissa you can. I can't do it anymore. I lost it." Emma said
"But I'm not the one who needs to do it. When Zelena died, all of her spells were undone. Your powers should have been restored." Melissa said
"Believe me, if I could make it work, I would." Emma said
"Not having magic makes it a lot of easier for you to run back to New York and pretend to be somebody else. But listen to me, Swan. You're not. It's time to stop running." Hook said
"You think, I don't know that? Yes, I run away. That's how I always survived. But, believe me, I want this to work. I wanna go back. I wanna stop running." Emma said
"What's changed your mind?" Melissa asked Emma
"When I looked at you two. I realized that you guys were right. Watching my mother die. Thinking she was dead. Seeing what happened. I was so relieved when she was okay. And I hugged her. And you know what I saw in her eyes? Nothing. She didn't know who I was. (Emma's voice breaks.) I had saved her and lost her, too. And that's what I've been doing to her since I met her. It's got to stop. When Henry brought me to Storybrooke he told me I was the savior. I didn't see what he was really doing. He was not bringing me back to break a curse. He was bringing me home. Neal was right." Emma said
"About what?" Hook asked Emma
"You don't have a home until you just miss it. Being with my parents the last few days, but not really being with them? I've never missed them more. Storybrooke. That's my home. (Both Hook and Melissa gives Emma a smile.) What?" Emma asked both Hook and Melissa
"Look." Melissa said
Looking down Emma notices that the wand in her hand glimmers brightly.
"I'd say you've got your magic back." Hook said
Emma is concentrating and reopens the portal. Hook picks up Emma's cellmate.
"Wait to go, Emma." Melissa said
Hook goes through the portal. Melissa goes in the portal. Emma is about to follow them when Rumplestiltskin appears behind her.
The warehouse.
The time portal opens and Hook and Melissa lands on the ground. Hook groans. A few moments later Emma lands in Storybrooke as well.
"Oh, God. (Emma noticing her cellmate, to Hook.) Hey, do me a favor. Fill her in. Make sure, she doesn't freak out." Emma said
"Where are you going?" Hook asked Emma
"I have some people I need to see." Emma said
"I have to see August and the others." Melissa said
Granny's Diner.
Both Emma and Melissa enters. Emma walks over to her parents and hugs them. Melissa is hugging her husband and kissed him.
"What was that for?" August asked his wife
"I felt like doing that." Melissa said
"Momma." Jenna said
Melissa picked up her then she kissed her cheek.
"What is it?" Tyler asked Melissa
"I'm just happy." Melissa said
"So you guys worked it out?" August asked again
"Yeah. We did." Melissa said as she smiles
Baelfire in the carriage crying. August picked his son up.
Both Emma and Melissa tells Emma's parents and Henry about their adventure. On the table in front of Emma, Henry's opened storybook is placed. A picture shows both Hook and Emma dancing and Melissa standing there watching them.
"Wait. You're Princess Leia?" Mary Margaret asked her daughter
"Yep." Emma said
"And you're Queen Victoria?" Mary Margaret asked Melissa
"Had to think of something." Melissa said
"Nice alias." Henry said
Emma chuckles.
"We were in a pinch." Emma said
"Well, there you go. You guys are officially one of us." David said
"A fairytale princess at last." Mary Margaret said
"And a Queen." Melissa said
"As my first princessly request I would like to know the name of the baby." Emma said
"Right, that. (To Mary Margaret.) Ready? (She nods) Excuse me. If I could have everyone's attention just for a moment. This coronation ceremony is something we looked forward to for a very long time. The arrival of our new son has been a cause of great joy for our family. And we hope you can share in it as we name him for a hero. Someone who saved everyone of us. We loved him and he loved back." David said
"People of Storybrooke, it's our great joy to introduce you to our our son, Prince Neal." Mary Margaret said
Everyone cheering.
"It's nice to meet you, Neal." Emma said
Melissa sees Emma exit the diner. She open the blinds then she realized why Emma stepped out. She wanted to be alone with Hook.
Roland enters the diner. Then Regina and Robin Hood enter the diner together. Along with her former cellmate Emma and Hook sit at another table. Melissa approaches to them smiling.
"Why are you smiling?" Emma asked Melissa
"I'm just happy. For everyone." Melissa said
Smiling Regina walks past them. Woman was agitated.
"That's the Evil Queen." Woman said
Emma is trying to calm her down.
"It's okay. She's different now." Emma said
"She's not the same person anymore." Melissa said
"You'll see. Just stay here." Emma said
Both Emma and Melissa approaches Regina.
"Regina. There's something you should know. We brought someone back from the past. This woman, she still thinks of you as..." Melissa said as she was struggling for the right word
"Evil." Regina said
"I'll bring her over. I already told her that it's okay, but it's a little delicate. And I feel like, if she met you, she'll see..." Emma said as Regina interrupt her sentence
Regina is kindly.
"I understand." Regina said
Emma and her cellmate walk past the booth where Robin Hood and Roland sit. Melissa is intending to introduce Emma's cellmate.
"Regina, we would like you to meet..." Margaret said as she was interrupted
"Marian? (standing up) Marian?" Robin said in disbelief
"Robin?" Marian said in disbelief
Both Robin and Marian hugged.
"I thought you were dead. (Robin voice thick with emotion) I thought I'd never see you again." Robin said
"And I you." Marian said
Regina was stunned as she was starring at them blankly.
"Mama?" Roland said
Marian crouches down.
"Roland. Oh my baby. Roland." Marian said
Marian hugs her son.
Robin puts his arms around both of them. Regina turns away and faces both Emma and Melissa.
"You? You did this?" Regina voice was breaking
"I just wanted to save her life." Emma said
Regina shakes her head.
"You're just like your mother. (Regina was hurt.) Never thinking of consequences." Regina said
"We didn't know." Melissa said
Regina is angry
"Of course, you didn't. Well, you'd just better hope to hell, you didn't bring anything else back. (Regina looked at Melissa.) You. How could you?" Regina blames her best friend
"Regina. I just..." Melissa said as Regina cuts her off
"We're not friends anymore." Regina said
Regina walks away and Melissa looked at Emma.
"Melissa?" Emma said
"I need sometime to think." Melissa said as she teleported out
