Everyone went up in smoke and had arrived in the apartment from the Blanchard's. Everyone, but Gold, Madelyn and Jack, they waited for Caitlynn and Amelia to come to them, but things happened. Now David laid Ruby on the bed as Mary Margaret looked worried. "Is she okay?"

"Why is she down here?" David wondered.

"She's not..." Henry began.

Mary Margaret looked at Henry. "No, she's still breathing." Then she looked at Regina. "Well, how long do you think she'll be out?"

"I don't know." Regina sighed. "We hit her with some strong stuff."

"Where has she been since she left Storybrooke?" David asked, looking at the sleeping Ruby.

"I don't know." Mary Margaret sighed. "She went to find her pack."

"Unless they're dead, I'd say she's sniffing in the wrong place." Regina deadpanned.

"Any explanation for what she's doing here?" Caitlynn asked to them.

Emma picked something up. "Just this." She replied to her.

A few moments later, Ruby had woken up and was asking where she was, they replied to her, saying that they were in the Underworld. "The Underworld?" Ruby looked very confused. "I don't understand. I used a tracking spell so the cyclone would bring me to Zelena."

"Ruby, she's down here, too." Emma told her.

Hook held up his hand, looking at Ruby. "Wait, love, you came down here looking for Zelena?"

Regina sighed. "Why am I not surprised? What did my sister do now?"

"It's my friend, Dorothy." Ruby looked at them. "Zelena wanted her magic slippers so that she could get back to her baby."

"Ruby, what did Zelena do to your friend?" Mary Margaret asked, looking at her.

"That's why I'm here." Ruby looked at her. "I don't know. Dorothy went to face her and just disappeared. Mulan and I looked everywhere, but we couldn't find her." Then she sighed. "Snow, this is all my fault. None of this would have happened if I hadn't show up in Oz. It's just one more life that I have destroyed because of what I am."

Mary Margaret looked at her. "That is not true, and you know it. Ruby, we'll find out what happened to Dorothy. I promise."

"There's only one way we're gonna do that." Emma told them. "It's time to talk to Zelena."

Regina looked at her. "I'm coming. I actually thought we were getting somewhere with her."

"Will that help? Talking to Zelena?" Caitlynn asked to them.

"I think so." Emma replied to her.

"Okay." Caitlynn nodded as then they went to leave, but Mary Margaret looked at David.

"David." She asked to him. "Will you do something while I'm gone?"

"Sure." David looked at her. "What is it?"

"Well, we haven't..." Mary Margaret sighed. "Neal hasn't heard our voices in days, and I'm getting a little..."

"Yeah, me too." David nodded. "I'll call him for the both of us."

"Thank you." Mary Margaret smiled at him. "Oh, take Hook with you. Streets aren't safe for anyone to be alone right now."

"Yeah, I'll be careful." David nodded. "Believe me, I will tell Neal the reason why his mother is not on the line... 'cause she's out doing what she does best, being a hero."

When they arrived, they saw that Zelena wanted to leave, but Regina froze her, saying. "You're not going anywhere, sis."

Zelena sighed. "How do you expect me to become mother material if you won't leave me be?"

"Well, we were planning on it until someone you screwed over literally dropped out of the sky." Regina replied to her, somewhat sarcastically.

Then Ruby stepped forwards. "What did you do to Dorothy?"

"Omg, this again." Caitlyn muttered.

"Caitlynn." Amelia scolded.

Regina sighed, looking at Zelena. "Zelena, tell us what you did to Dorothy. Fight your instincts and help us. It's the only way you'll ever see your little girl again. Trust me."

Zelena shook with her head. "No." She told them all. "I'm afraid I can't fix this. Even I can't help Dorothy now."

"Why not?" Emma asked to Zelena.

"You killed her?" Ruby asked as well.

Zelena shook with her head. "Not quite. I took a page out of your book, Regina."

"Sleeping curse." Regina sighed.

"Wouldn't surprise me." Caitlynn comment, bitterly.

Ruby looked angry. "You need to wake her up."

"That's what I'm trying to tell you... I can't." Zelena sighed. "Dorothy may have the love of the people of Oz, but there's only one thing that could help her now."

Mary Margaret realized. "True love's kiss."

"No family, unmarried, unloved, all alone." Zelena smirked. "There's no one that can give Dorothy what she needs. I'm afraid sometimes... I'm just too clever."

Ruby was pacing around, while Regina talked to her sister. "We have to do something." She said to them. "Dorothy is all alone back there. She doesn't have anyone."

Regina walked towards them, holding up the slippers. "Not for long. These can at least get you back to Oz."

"How did you get her to hand those over to you?" Mary Margaret asked in shock.

"You're not going to believe me, but all I did was ask." Regina sighed.

"That actually surprises me." Caitlynn comment to her.

Just then, Red looked at them. "What good are slippers if there is no one back in Oz that can give Dorothy true love's kiss?"

"Are you sure there isn't anyone?" Mary Margaret asked back to her.

Red looked at her. "Her family was awful to her. And the only person that she has ever loved was her deceased Aunt Em."

"She may still be here." Mary Margaret told them.

Emma nodded. "All we have to do is find her."

When they finally found the aunt Em, Caitlynn was feeling tired a bit and wanted soon to have a rest, Amelia was the only one who supported her. Just now, Red pointed at the grave. "That's her. That's Auntie Em."

Mary Margaret looked at it. "It's not cracked or tipped. She's still down here."

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Red looked at them all. "Let's find her."

Regina sighed. "It's not that simple. If she's dead, she can't just leave the Underworld to give Dorothy true love's kiss."

"Maybe she doesn't have to." Mary Margaret told them. "The other day, the Blind Witch bottled David's breath."

"Wired." Caitlynn comment, raising an eyebrow.

Emma looked in shock. "What? Why would she do that?"

"Yeah, well, she roasted children in her previous life." Regina replied to her.

"Huh, crazy woman." Caitlynn comment.

Mary Margaret sighed. "Do we even want the answer to that? The point is maybe we can do the same thing with the kiss from Aunt Em. Ruby could use the slippers to deliver it Dorothy in Oz."

Just then, David and Hook rushed over to them. "Snow! We've been looking everywhere for you."

Mary Margaret looked worried. "What is it? Did you talk to Neal?"

"Hades ripped out the phone." Hook shook with his head. He's cut us off from Storybrooke."

Mary Margaret had her eyes widen. "What? Why?" She asked in shock.

David put his hands on her shoulders. "Snow, Neal's fine."

"Wait, no, we don't know that." Mary Margaret looked very worried. "I mean, maybe Hades did this for a reason. Maybe he's gonna make a move on Storybrooke now that we're trapped down here."

"This is exactly what he wants for us all to lose hope." David told her, looking sad.

Mary Margaret looked at him. "Well, it's hard not to when our child's life might be in danger."

Just then, Emma stepped forwards. "Mom, I think it's time."

Mary Margaret looked confused. "For what?" She asked to her.

"For you to go home, both of you." Emma replied to her.

Mary Margaret refused. "We haven't completed our mission. We haven't defeated Hades."

"You've done more for me than you know and so many down here." Emma sighed.

Mary Margaret looked at her first daughter. "And I meant what I said... we came because we wanted to."

"Because I needed you. Now your son needs you more. And Storybrooke might, too." Emma told her mother.

David looked at her. "Well, what about Hades? We don't even know how to begin to fight him yet."

"Well, we'll just have to find a way to wage our war without the Charmings." Hook comment.

"But this is the Underworld." David argued. "We can't just walk out."

"You can with the slippers." Regina told them.

"Go to Oz with Ruby." Emma told them as well. "Once you help Dorothy, you can click your way back to Storybrooke. Mom, Dad, you've done enough. Go take care of the rest of our family. I'm gonna be okay."

Regina pointed it out. "You all are forgetting something. Hades carved Snow's name on a tombstone. Emma, you couldn't take it off. Even with the slippers, she can't leave."

Mary Margaret looked at her husband. "I can't... but you can."

While the others when to find aunt Em, Caitlynn and Amelia went to Gold and the others. Caitlynn needed some rest. When they arrived in Gold's shop, they found happy faces. "What going on?"

"We have the contract." Madelyn replied to her.

"It is true." Jack added.

"Well, that's nice." Caitlynn comment, somewhat sarcastically. "What are we gonna do with it?"

"We gonna tear it to pieces." Gold replied to her.

"Yes, so our child is free then?" Caitlynn asked to him.

"Yes." Gold nodded, happily.

Amelia sighed. "No loopholes for Hades?"

"I owe him a favour." Madelyn admitted.

"Why would you do that?" Amelia asked to her.

"We are family and I do everything for our family." Madelyn replied to her.

Amelia nodded. "Okay, but what about Calypso?"

"What about her?" Madelyn asked a bit confused.

"Why does she protect you and Jack? And why are you here?" Amelia asked to her.

Madelyn sighed. "Well, we have unfinished business with our family and wanted to know our last in line."

"From what we know off, love." Jack added.

"How so?" Caitlynn asked confused.

"Well, from what had happed to my granddaughter, I want to know what happened to the rest." Madelyn replied to her.

"As you can see." Amelia pointed at herself. "Everything works out well."

"We know, but we don't want to leave until you are gone." Madelyn told her. "I mean, when Hades is gone and you all are back to Storybrooke."

"We want to protect you." Jack added.

Amelia nodded. "We understand."

"I'm glad that you understand." Madelyn smiled at her.

"As do I." Jack nodded.

Then Madelyn handed the contract over to Caitlynn. "Here, tear it to pieces."

"Thank you." Caitlynn nodded as she had grabbed it. Then she tear it to pieces and their child was free.

"Our child is free." Gold told them as then he looked at Madelyn. "Thank you for everything."

"Your welcome." Madelyn smiled.

Later, after Caitlynn had rested and they had everything they needed, everyone went to say good bye to Ruby and David. "Ready." Ruby looked at David.

Then, Regina stepped forward with the slippers. "Put these one. Think of where you want to go. Then click your heels three times. David, you should take her hand and hold tight."

"So, I guess this is goodbye." David laughed a little. "We have done this before, we can do it again."

Mary Margaret looked at him. "When you get home, tell Neal that I will be there as fast as I can."

"Well, I was actually hoping that you could tell him that for me." David smiled at her.

Mary Margaret looked confused. "David, you know I can't leave."

"Now you can." David was still smiling.

Mary Margaret asked confused. "What?"

"I removed your name from the headstone." Hook comment.

Regina frowned. "Am I missing something? Emma and Caitlynn already tried that."

"Yeah, and it didn't work." Emma nodded.

"Uhu." Caitlynn nodded as well as Gold stood next to her.

"Because you tried to erase the names." David let them all to the gravestone. "The rule down here is simple... a life for a life. So, I traded mine for yours."

"That's about right." Gold nodded, he was glad to have his wife by his side.

Mary Margaret looked at the gravestone. "David! No, no."

"If one of us gets to go home and see our son, it should be you." David told her.

Emma looked confused. "How did you know to do this?" She asked to them.

"Simple, love." Hook replied to her. "Hades overlooked one thing during my escape... he enchanted my hand to carve these markers in the first place. I can't erase the names, but I can change them."

David looked at his wife. "Come on. Our boy waits for you."

"Um..." Mary Margaret sighed. "I was ready for you to go."

"No, it's better this way." David told her. "You can look after him, and if Storybrooke's in trouble, there's no better leader than Snow White."

"You sure?" Mary Margaret asked, unsure.

"Go to our son." David replied to her. "Go home. I'll be back before you know it."

Emma went over to her mom and hugged her. "Mom, I'm not very good at goodbyes."

"I know. It runs in the family." Mary Margaret told her.

Then Caitlynn went over to hug her. "After all that has happened, you are still my mother and I love you."

"I know and I love you too, Caitlynn." Mary Margaret tears up a little as then she looked at Amelia. "You look after them, wouldn't you?"

"Yes, don't you worry." Amelia nodded, while smiling.

Then, Regina spoke up. "Snow, while you're up there, will look in on Roland for Robin Hood. I know he'd want me to ask you that."

"Of course." Mary Margret nodded. "Tell him not to worry."

Ruby sighed. "Ready?"

"Let's go find Dorothy." Mary Margret nodded as then Ruby clicked 3 times with the slippers and they were gone.

In the evening, they had went in the apartment. Emma told them. "After what Hades did, we have to hit back and hard."

"Yes, we will." Caitlynn nodded.

"With everything we have." Madelyn told them.

Hook looked at them. "Aye, love, but how?"

"We will figure it out." Madelyn replied to him.

"Aye, we will." Jack added.

Just then, Henry went downstairs, with papers in his hand. "Grandpa. I thought you'd like to see the latest. Grandma made it back to Storybrooke." He handed it over.

Emma exhaled sharply. "Thanks, kid." She grabbed it. "Now let's go figure out how to join them."

"What is it?" David asked as then Emma gave him a paper, he looked at it and smiled at the picture off Mary Margret. "Snow... she made it."
