Into the woods.

"The Author, where is he?" David asked them

"We lost him." Emma said

"Damn it." Melissa said

"We know him." Mary Margaret said

"What?" Emma asked in confusion

"Come again?" Melissa asked in confusion

"We met him a long time ago." Mary Margaret said

"He manipulated us. It's because of him we were put on the path to causing Maleficent to lose her child." David said

"It's true." Mary Margaret said

"No. No, what's true is no matter how you were manipulated, you still did what you did, and you lied to me about it! You've been lying to me about everything!" Emma said

"That's not the case. It's one incident from our past." David said

"You guys are acting less of a family right now. You both lie to Emma and you weren't being honest with her." Melissa said

"We've changed. We've tried to become the parents you deserve." Mary Margaret said

"I am only the savior because you altered the entire state of my being at the expense of someone else's soul." Emma said

"You're right. What we did, it was wrong. But we... We didn't fully understand what we were doing. We acted out of fear. We're human." David said

"Yeah, well, right now I don't care." Emma said

Melissa's Mansion.

Melissa and August's room.

She calling Bonnie on her phone.

"Hey Bonnie." Melissa said

"Hey. What's going on?" Bonnie asked Melissa

"Do you still contact the spirits?" Melissa asked Bonnie

"Yeah. Why?" Bonnie asked in curiosity

"I need to contact Emily." Melissa said

"Melissa. Those spells..." Bonnie said as Melissa interrupt her sentence

"I know. But I have this feeling that there's something wrong with Emma. Please? I have to contact her." Melissa begged

"Here's what you need to do." Bonnie said

Melissa gather up some ingredients.

"Mommy. What are you doing?" Jenna asked her mother

"Hi sweetie. I'm just casting a little spell." Melissa said

"Could I watch?" Jenna asked again

"Someday I will teach you this kind of stuff. But I need you to be patient. Alright." Melissa said

"Ok mommy." Jenna said

"Go downstairs and make me few beautiful drawings. (Jenna runs downstairs. Melissa starts chanting.) By the name of Emily Bennett. I call on you. I'm here to give you a message. I need you to listen. Phasmatos Manex, Un Domo Hax, Fero Adiuvex. Phasmatos Emily, Un Domo Hax, Fero Adiuvex. (Spirit Emily, A House Hax, Fore Dive. Spirit Emily, A House Hax, Fore Dive.) Melissa stops chanting

Spirit Emily appears right in front of Melissa.

"Melissa." Emily said

"Hello Emily. I know it's been awhile since the seance with the friends." Melissa said

"Yes. And you want to know what's happening to your adopted sister." Emily said

"Please? There's got to be another way to help her." Melissa said

"Spirits talk. But only because we know what it's about to happen." Emily said

"Tell me?" Melissa asked Emily

"The darkness will come towards the light. Meaning your friend Regina. But then Emma saves her and the darkness will consume her." Emily said

"How? How do I save my sister?" Melissa asked again

"There's nothing you can do. I'm sorry." Emily apologize

"Thank you for your time. (Emily fades away.) If anyone can save her. Then it has to be me." Melissa said to herself
