Emma waited for Gold outside of Regina's office. She paced back and forth while her patience is running low. Snow and David arrived with Gold. "What took you guys so long?" Emma asked them. "We ran in a couple of other matters", David answered. Emma frowned but didn't bother to ask. "How's Regina?" Snow asked. Emma opened the door to her office. "See for yourself", she answered and let them all in. They all saw Regina standing in the middle of her office with her back on them. She slowly turned to them. Her eyes still purple and her hands are surrounded with purple rays of light. She looked nervous. "Ahmm…I don't know how much longer I can hold this", she muttered. Then she looked at her hands. They are shaking trying to control her powers. "Well? Do you know how to fix this?" she looked at Gold.
They closed the door. Gold and Emma put a protection spell around Regina's office. "I think the two of you should go. This may not go well", Gold told them. Emma agreed. "No. We're not leaving Regina", Snow said. "Mom, you have to. Gold and I can protect ourselves. You both can't", Emma tried to convince them but they still refused. "We don't abandon family", David said and it made Regina even more nervous. Gold used his dagger to feel what's going on with her. "You are losing control of your magic", he muttered. Regina scoffed. "Tell me something I don't know", she said and then eyed him. He put his hands over hers. "Try to focus on my energy", he said.
Together their hands glowed. Their combined power is too strong that it's making everything in the office move like there's an earthquake. Then Regina suddenly groaned. "Don't let go of my hands", Gold said. Snow and David hold on to the table. "What will happen if I did?" Regina asked him. "You're going to burn this whole town if you did", he answered. She held on to him as hard as she can but it's taking too much of her strength. "I can't hold on much longer", she muttered in pain. Emma saw blood coming out of her nose. "Regina! You can do this. You have to do this. Think of Henry. He is waiting for you to come home right now. Don't leave him hanging", she said. Regina looked at her. She knows she got a point. "I think you should get out of here just in case. Take him somewhere safe", she said. The blood is now also coming out of her ears. "I am not leaving you. Focus on Gold. You can do it. Come on", Emma insisted.
Regina screamed so loud that it shattered the mirrors on the walls of her office. "This is going to hurt. Are you ready?" Gold asked her. Regina looked at him with her purple eyes. "Do I have a choice?" she asked him back. He took it as a yes. Magic flowed from Gold and went into Regina. She screamed in pain until she fell on her knees but still managed to hold on to him. "What are you doing?" Emma asked him. It pains her to see Regina suffering in pain. "I am forcing her magic back inside of her. If it remains unstable and uncontrollable, it will only do two things: it will kill her or it will kill her and take everyone around with her", he answered. Gold continued to use his magic on her until she let out one last scream and then fell on the floor unconscious.
The shaking in the office suddenly stopped. Gold stepped back and worked on regaining his strength. It also took a lot from him to help her. Emma runs towards Regina on the floor. "Regina…Regina…" she called but she's out. She looks incredibly pale. "What happened? Why is she not waking up?" Emma asked Gold. Snow and David went to them and saw Regina with blood in her nose and ears. "Oh my god…" Snow muttered. Emma tried to wake her but she's not waking up. David leaned over to feel her pulse. "She's alive", he said. Emma tried to use her magic to heal her but it didn't work as well. "I think we should take her to the hospital", Snow suggested. Emma looked at Gold. "I told you the possible outcomes", he reminded her.
They took Regina to the hospital to keep her alive. Henry found out about what happened and rushed to his mother's side. Everyone tried everything they can to wake her but nothing is working, not even the fairy dust. Snow is outside her room watching Henry with Regina inside. David went to her. "Look at him. He is so sad. If Regina doesn't survive this, he will be devastated", she said. David put his hand around her. "Regina is a fighter. If there's anyone who can get out of this, it's her", he said. Meanwhile, Hook brought a cup of coffee to Emma who is sitting on the hallway. "Thank you", she said as she took the cup. He sat next to her. "They don't know what's wrong with her. She is just not waking up. Gold said the result can only be two things and it both say it will kill her but she didn't die. She survived. Why is she not waking up now?" Emma muttered. He took her hand. "I've known her back then and now. That woman doesn't know how to give up", he said and it made her smile somehow.
Then Robin came along with Marian and Roland. They just heard about what happened to Regina. Fear and panic are all over his face as they walk the narrow hallway of the hospital. Then they saw her with Henry through the glass window. "Robin", Snow said when she saw him. "Roland wanted to see her when he heard she's hurt", Robin said while trying to maintain a strong voice. Snow smiled and opened the door. "Go ahead", she said. Roland runs immediately inside and went to Henry. They watched them hug each other. Roland then held Regina's hand. He is carrying the toy monkey she made out of the flying monkey that tried to attack him while they were in the Enchanted Forest. "I remember that toy monkey", Snow said with a smile. "Yeah, ever since the curse was broken, he never let it out of his sight", Robin said.
Snow and David waited for him to say that he wants to be at her side too but he's not saying anything. "Do you want to come in?" David asked instead. Robin looked at Marian for approval. After all, she's still his wife. She nodded. She understood their relationship. They all thought she's dead. She already stopped blaming Regina for it. Robin went inside Regina's room where Roland and Henry are waiting for him. The two kids gave him space when Henry asked Roland to get some soda with him outside. They went out and let Robin have some time alone with Regina. He held her hands as tears fell from his eyes. "He really does love her", Marian muttered. Snow looked at her and smile. "…and she loves him so much", she replied. "I'm right here. Please don't do this. Don't leave us, Regina. You can't go just yet. You have to hear me say it. You have to hear me say that I love you so much, with all my heart", Robin said to Regina and then he leaned over and gave her a kiss. Then a wave of light magic spreads throughout the entire room all the way to the edge of the town and then…Regina finally opened her eyes.
