The next day, the Professor and Clara were in the back room of the pawnshop when they heard the front door open and the bell jingle. They walked into the front, Clara holding Ellie, where they saw the Doctor coming toward them.

"Dad," the Professor began. "Why are you here?"

"I thought I'd be the first to tell you the great news," the Doctor began. "In times like these, that's what we need. Great news."

"What great news?" Clara asked. What was the Doctor on about?

"I was just at the hospital with David and Mary Margaret. And the others. They've just given birth to a son," the Doctor told them. "A new royal in Storybrooke."

"That is great news," the Professor agreed. "I suppose they'd be happy."

The Doctor nodded as he approached them. "Can I…?" he asked, pointing to Ellie.

"Of course," Clara said as she handed Ellie to her grandfather. "She should spend some time with all her family."

The Doctor rocked Ellie in his arms before they heard a noise coming from the back room. A familiar sound. The sound of ancient engines grinding their way to a stop.

The Professor looked at Clara. "The TARDIS?" he asked.

"Oh, silly old me. I must have left the HADS on again," the Doctor said as the Professor and Clara walked towards the back room. Standing at the door, they saw the TARDIS standing in the middle of the room before the doors opened, and the Doctor exited.

"Dad?" the Professor asked. "What's going on?" Clara asked.

"I'm here to pick you up," the Doctor said. "Take you to the hospital. The others are already there."

"We know. Snow and Charming gave birth," the Professor stated. "You just told us. In the other room."

The Doctor eyed the door, then back at his son and Clara. "I don't think I have," he said. Maybe it was his future self? He strode past them and walked into the shop front, the Professor and Clara following before he saw it. There was no other Doctor there. Instead was Zelena, holding Ellie.

Zelena smirked. "I could have just disappeared," she said. "But where's the fun in that? I just had to gloat over how easy it was to fool a couple of amateur Time Lords." She then chuckled at them.

Clara raced forward. "You give her back," she exclaimed. "You give her back to me this instant."

Zelena waved her finger at her. "Uh-uh. Make any sudden movements, and I'll personally make sure that you won't see your darling little Ellie again." Clara took a deep breath and then backed away slowly. "Good girl," she said before disappearing in a cloud of green smoke.


The Doctor took the Professor and Clara to the Storybrooke hospital and landed the blue box in the corridor, where Regina, Henry, David and Leroy were standing. The Doctor was the one to exit first, followed by the Professor and Clara.

David looked over at them. "Is everything okay?" he asked them.

"She took her," Clara said. "Ellie. Zelena's got Ellie."

"How?" Regina asked.

"She fooled us," the Professor said. "She fooled us both. But we need to get her back."

"If you go alone, you'll get yourself killed."

Emma joined them, followed by Hook, after their run-in with Zelena. "What's going on here?" she asked.

"What happened?" David asked his daughter. "Did you find Zelena?"

Emma took a breath. She had found Zelena, but there were complications. Zelena had started to drown Hook under a large tub of water, and Emma had used CPR on him – but at the cost of her magic. "I did. But I couldn't stop her."

"She took Ellie," the Professor said. "Because I failed?" Emma asked.

"We're still here," Hook reassured her. "So you haven't failed just yet."

"Hook's right," the Professor said. "If we go by ourselves, we won't win. But together,… Together we might just be strong enough."

"Wait …" Emma said. "Zelena took my magic."

"How the hell did that happen?" Regina asked.

"It doesn't matter how. It just happened. So, we need to find another way to stop her."

"There is no other way."

"That's not true. You can do it," Henry told his adoptive mother. "Sweetheart, I don't think I can survive round three with my sister."

"We'll be with you," the Professor said. "You, me and Clara."

"Zelena only beat you because you used dark magic against her," Henry said to Regina.

"But that's all that I have."

"No. It's not," Emma told Regina. "When you kissed Henry, that was true love's kiss. That's light magic."

"See? You can do it," Henry said.

"Henry, I don't even have my heart right now," Regina retorted.

"That doesn't matter. You broke the curse without it. And I know you still love me. I know there's good in you."

"He's right," Robin told Regina as he came up behind her. "I know you can beat that witch."

"Once upon a time, you were a villain, Mum," Henry began. "But you've changed. You're a hero now. And defeating bad guys is what heroes do. I believe in you. Now, you need to believe, too."
