Aurora wakes up screaming. Emma and Snow run over. She looks around frantically, trying to get her bearings. Mulan steps up behind her. Snow grabs her hand and soothes her until she is able to calm down.

Snow frowns at her, "Was it the same as the last time?"
Aurora shakes her head, "No, this time there was a boy. He said his name was Henry."

Emma looks at her, "Henry? As in my son?"

Aurora shrugs, "I guess. He was about 10 or 11, brown hair."

Snow puts a hand through her hair, "That's him." She brightens up, "You can talk to him. You can get help. He can tell you how to fight Cora and win."

Emma frowns, "How would Henry know?"
Snow smiles, "Not Henry. Mr. Gold. He can get the answers from Rumpelstiltskin."

Emma looks at Aurora, "Are you willing to go back in? To get answers?"

Aurora nods, "Of course. I want to be able to help."

Emma touches her shoulder, "Thank you."

Aurora smiles and lies down and snow sits down next to her and caresses her hair. Emma closes her eyes and they all sit waiting. It felt like hours to Emma. She wanted to be the one in there with him. She wanted to see him. She needed to see him. Aurora shoots up.

Emma kneels next to her, "What did he say? What do we do? Did he look okay?"
Snow laughs lightly, "Give her a minute to breathe Emma."

Emma tilts her head, "Sorry. Take your time?"

Aurora sighs, "He said that we have to wait a couple hours for him to talk to this Mr. Gold. He said to give him two hours and I will meet up with him again."

Mulan steps forward, "Then we will keep moving until then."

They sit waiting, again, two hours later. Emma listens to the sounds of the wind and closes her eyes. She gets flashes of mermaids swimming below the surface. Hook pulls closer and throws in some sort of enchanted bottle that only the mermaids would understand. One with long red hair catches it and opens it. She looks up and smiles. She gestures for them to follow her.

Hook stands behind the helm, "Mermaids always have the answers to the most difficult of questions."

Emma smiles up at him, "They can help me save my son, then?"
Hook nods and grabs her hand, "They can help lead us in the right direction."

Emma is shaken out of her reverie by Snow, "What? Is it Henry?"
Snow shakes her head, "I-I don't know what they are, but we are under attack by the dead campers."

Emma sighs, "Zombies? Seriously? Can't your world have at least one thing that isn't real?"

Snow shakes her head, "This is Cora's magic."

Mulan shakes Aurora awake, "Aurora! Wake up! We have to go!"

Snow and Emma fight off the walking dead but they kept on coming. Emma cut one of their heads off and it finally fell to the ground.

Emma shouts, "Aim for the head! Nothing else will kill them…again."

They fight until they are all on the ground. Emma looks around waiting for more, and then sighs with relief when none show up.

Snow frowns, "Where are Aurora and Mulan?"
Emma glances behind her, "I don't know. Maybe they took off in the other direction."

Snow kneels down and studies the ground, "you are right. Come on. Let's find them."
They take off and follow the rest of the footprints. Mulan is running towards them looking frantic.

She stops, "I can't find Aurora! I think they took her."

Emma frowns, "What do we do?"
Snow tries to think, "Without Aurora we can't find out how to defeat Cora…If we try to get her we will lose… What do you think she wants?"
Emma takes out the compass, "Probably this."

Mulan nod in agreement, "So we give it to her."

Snow shakes her head, "No! We talk to Henry."

Emma frowns, "How?"

Snow smiles, "Me."

After they find the flower and Snow is under, Emma studies the compass. She starts to remember the one that Hook had gotten from the mermaid.

Emma frowns at it, "A compass? Don't you already have a compass?"

Hook laughed at her confusion, "This isn't like most compasses. This one goes where you most desire. I need you to hold it and think of home. Think of finding something that will get you there."

Emma does and she closes her eyes thinking of getting back to her world and finding what they needed to do exactly that. She feels the compass start to heat up and vibrate in her hand.

She smiles, "I think its working."

Hook looks down at it, "Yes it is pointing north-east. We are getting closer to the answer."

Emma grins, "I am glad that I get to take this journey with you."

Hook leans down and kisses her softly, "Aye, it was a fortunate day, indeed, when I rescued you."

Snow gasps awake, "No! I have to go back to sleep. I have to help him."

Emma looks at her startled, "Mary-Margaret! Stop!"

Snow looks at her, "David needs my help. He is under the sleeping curse."
Emma furrows her brow, "What? Ho- doesn't matter. Right now we have to deal with this. The sooner we do the sooner we can get back to them."

Snow breathes, "You are right. I know what we have to do."

Emma nods, "Where is Mulan?"
Snow looks around, "She went to get Aurora."

Emma jumps up, "Is she stupid? She is going to get both of them killed!"
Snow sighs, "We will follow her."

Emma tackles Mulan to the ground, "What the hell do you think you are doing?"

Mulan struggles, "I will not let her die for the two of you."

Emma rolls her eyes, "Then you will die with her."

Snow steps forward, "We kn-"

Aurora steps onto the path, interrupting her, "I am here."

Emma stands up and helps up Mulan. They all stand there gaping at Aurora. She smiles nervously.

Mulan touches her shoulder, "Did she hurt you?"
Hook steps out behind her, "Of course not. Aurora was just a way to slow you down."

Emma frowns, "Why are you here?"
Hook smirks, "You can't get rid of me this time, love. And even though I am a little upset that you handcuffed me up there, I am here to help you get to your son."

Snow looks between the two, seeing the obvious attraction and possible love, "Maybe we can use his help."

Emma shakes her head, "All he wants is revenge against Mr. Gold."

Snow laughs, "You are Sheriff, Emma. You can just arrest him if he tries anything."

Hook quirks his eyebrows, "Sheriff? That suits you and it's not like you haven't handcuffed me before. I am here to help you. I don't care about my crocodile anymore. You mean more."

Emma takes a sharp breath, "Fine. But if you cross me, I will cut off your other hand."

He laughs, "Noted."

They go to Rumpelstiltskin's prison and look for the ink that Mr. Gold had been talking about. They search every brick and corner and crease and only found a piece of paper.

Emma groans in frustration, "There is nothing here! Just dirt."

Aurora unrolls the paper, "Uh, Emma, I think this is for you."

Emma takes it and gasps, "It just says my name over and over again. This is kinda creepy."

Snow takes it from her, "He was the one that predicted you would be the savior. The only way we could even get that information was by telling him your name."

Hook looks over Emma's shoulder, "It just looks obsessive to me."

Emma shoves it her pocket and sighs, "Now what?"

Snow shrugs, "I guess we try to beat Cora the old fashion way."

Emma laughs, "Sounds fun."

Hook smiles, "I know where she will be."

They arrive at Lake Nostos and see Cora standing in front of it. She turns around when she hears them arrive and starts to walk towards them.

Snow takes out her bow, "Don't take another step."

Cora stops and laughs, "Do you really think you can beat me?"
Hook steps forward with his sword, "Of course we can. Shouldn't be that hard."

She looks at Hook, "Oh, Hook. You should have stayed on my side. I would have given you your revenge."

Hook laughs, "Some things are more important."
Cora throws him in the air with a flick of the wrist and he lands with a loud thud. Everybody moves into action. Snow shoots an arrow at her but she disappears in a cloud of purple. Emma looks around and tries to charge her but is thrown against Hook. They slam to the ground. Hook jumps up and pulls Emma up beside him. Cora closes in on Snow.

She grins, "Now, how happy would my daughter be if I brought her your heart."

Cora reaches towards her, but Emma screams and leaps in front of her. Cora's hand plunges into her chest and she moans in pain.

Hook and Snow scream, "No!"

Cora laughs, "You foolish girl. Though I think my daughter would love it more to watch Snow White grieve over the loss of her daughter." She tries to yank her heart out but is stopped, "What?"
Emma smiles and closes her eyes. Something flows through her and Cora flies backwards. Snow grabs Emma and hugs her.

Emma gasps, "I can't breathe. We have to get the ashes from her."

They walk over to Cora, who was starting to stand up.

Emma frowns, "Now what?"
Snow's eyes widen with realization, "Give me the scroll."

Emma takes it out of her pocket and hands it over, "Why?"

Snow opens it up and blows on the ink. They watch as a cloud of blank ink floats towards Cora and hits her. She is frozen in place.

Snow smiles, "It was the ink not the quill."

Emma steps forward and grabs the ashes, "Let's go home."
