Melissa's Mansion.
Emma given Melissa a cup of bourbon.
"Thanks." Melissa thanking Emma
Melissa drinks it.
"This plan is going to work." Emma said
"You know it was Regina's. I just need to know that the others are safe." Melissa said
"They are." Emma said
"Making sure that nothing happens to August." Melissa said
They're now in Gold's shop.
"H-h-he's here? (Belle is stammering over her words) Th-that's... That's impossible." Belle said
"Well, did you really think he'd stay away?" Mary Margaret asked Belle
"My traveler magic. It was working at the time. I mean it did. But when I touch Ursula. Nothing. Those two weren't changing. I haven't seen him in the picture. And I don't know how that's possible." Melissa said
"Maybe because you been here to long." Mary Margaret said
"No. That's not it." Melissa said
"Then what is?" David asked Melissa
"He stole a spell out of my spell book so that I couldn't track him." Melissa said
Emma rushes forward to Belle.
"The dagger... you need to hand it over so we can stop this fight before it starts." Emma said
Belle looks confused.
"The dagger? I-I don't have the dagger. Killian does." Belle said
Hook looks shocked by the news and looks amongst everyone.
"Who? Me? Well, I haven't seen that cursed blade since you commanded the Crocodile to leave the first time." Hook said
"But y-you took it from me last night to hide it where no one could find it." Belle said
"After the lifetimes I spent searching for a way to destroy the Dark One, I'm pretty certain I'd remember holding that dagger in my hand." Hook said
Emma faced Belle.
"You gave it to Gold... (Emma turns to face Hook.) Disguised as you." Emma said
"Shapeshifting." Melissa said
"He's back, and so is his power." Emma said
"Even when I didn't think he could deceive me anymore...He found a way." Belle said
"Banishment was too good for that demon. We should have driven that dagger through his heart when we had the chance." Hook said
"Then your name would be written across it." Emma said
"It's a small price to pay to ensure the Crocodile wouldn't come back again." Hook said
"I know you're angry, but we defeated him before and we'll do it again." Emma said
"Yeah, but the question is, how?" Mary Margaret asked them
"At first, we're going to save my husband." Melissa said
"Yeah. You do that. I'm going to find the sea witch." Hook said
"How are you gonna do that?" David asked Hook
"The sea witch Ursula. Remember when I said I had a past with her? Now's the time to use it." Hook said
"How?" Emma asked Hook
"By taking a page out of your book, Swan. I'm gonna return her happy ending." Hook said
Emma, Melissa, Mary Margaret, and David pull up before a bridge in the truck and all get out, straight away heading in the direction of Gold's cabin.
"Anything from Hook? Think he's managed to turn Ursula yet?" Mary Margaret asked her daughter
"If she hasn't turned him." David said
"Really? We're thinking that now?" Emma asked her parents
"Well, he kind of went to a dark place this morning." David said
"Do you blame him? If Gold did to me what he did to Hook, I'd want to shove that dagger through his heart, too." Emma said
"Emma, that's not you." Mary Margaret said
Emma interrupts and defends Hook.
"It's also not Hook. Relax. I'm just saying I understood where he was coming from." Emma said
"Can we please save my husband and argue about this later?" Melissa asked them
"Sorry." Emma apologize
To the Cabin.
Emma kicks the door down and they enter the cabin.
"Get away from my husband." Melissa said
"You found us, did you now?" Cruella de vil asked them
Melissa pulls out her gun and aims it at her. Mary Margaret knocks Cruella out by hitting her head with a frying pan, and Cruella falls to the floor unconscious.
"I could've taken that one." Melissa said
"I know." Mary Margaret said
"Nice one, mom." Emma said
"Well, first thing you learn as a bandit... back door's usually unlocked." Mary Margaret said
Melissa cupped her hands on her husbands face. She started crying.
"God I'm sorry. This plan was so stupid." Melissa said
"I'm alive right." August jokes
"Joke later. (Emma uses her magic to un-tie the ropes around his legs.) Come on. Let's get you out of here." Melissa said
Melissa helps her husband up. Ursula enters the cabin and stops them.
"No one is going anywhere." Ursula said
Melissa blocks her husband. Emma looks around for Hook and a worried expression crosses her face.
"Where the hell is Hook? What'd you do to him?" Emma asked Ursula
"Sorry, sweetheart. Your boyfriend is shark bait. (Emma raises her hands to strike Ursula with magic. Ursula uses her tentacles to start strangling Mary Margaret.) Oh! Drop those hands, or your mother here's gonna need gills to breathe." Ursula said
"Ursula, you don't need to do this." Emma said
"That's where you're wrong. I can't have him leave with you." Ursula said
"Like hell." Melissa said
"The Author is the only one who can give me what I want." Ursula said
Hook enters the cabin, looking healthy.
"That's not true." Hook said
Emma sighs with relief.
"How are you still breathing?" Ursula asked Hook
Hook walks further into the cabin and stands beside Emma, who puts her hand on his arm.
"I'm good at surviving. Or you're bad at killing. Either way, you don't need the author to get what you want. I know why you couldn't release your voice from that shell. Only the one who enchanted it can do that." Hook said
"Wait. You don't mean..." Ursula figures out
Hook nods.
"Aye." Hook said
Poseidon walks into the cabin. He opens his palm, and the shell is there. Ursula voice travels towards her and she starts vocalizing. Moments later, her voice is back. Ursula hugged her father. Now Emma has her hand on Hook's chest and his arm is around her. She smiles up at him as he helped return Ursula's happy ending. Mary Margaret notices that Cruella is gone.
"Where's Cruella?" Mary Margaret asked them
"Uh, she must have slipped away, most likely to warn Gold." David said
"That bitch." Melissa said
"We should clear out before they get back." David said
"We're going to teleport out of here." Melissa said
Both Melissa and August teleport out.
Melissa's Mansion.
Melissa is healing her husband.
"It was dumb idea of letting you do that. I mean Regina's plan." Melissa said
"It worked didn't it." August said
"Yes. Yes it did. (Melissa put her hand on her husbands cheek and then she kissed him.) Jeremy's probably at the bar and Tyler's with the kids." Melissa said
Both Tyler and Jeremy show up with Baelfire and Jenna.
