It was soon time to meet at Granny's Bed & Breakfast. Regina had seen Robin earlier and talked to him in the meantime while Evie had been healing up. Ben got a text from Goldie and said that Emma, Mary Margaret, and David wanted to meet up to discuss how to possibly defeat Zelena and get her out of Storybrooke. Ben was unsure about Evie coming along, but she insisted that she would be just fine about joining them after getting some rest after she was controlled by her grandmother, The Queen of Hearts.

"So Evie, what do you think of Doug?" Mary Margaret spoke up.

"I'm still thinking about it, Ms. Blanchard," Evie replied softly. "He's such a good friend and helper, I never knew a guy who was so good when it came to fashion, but really is something special. He's also a great chemistry partner in Mr. Deley's chemistry class, especially since people like Yzla try to make magic potions in class to take over the world since her and Zevon's mother failed to become Empress."

"Yeah. Then she got turned into a cat," David smirked. "I haven't seen her since that incident."

"You guys knew Yzma?" Ben asked David and Mary Margaret.

"Yes, but that's another story for another day." Mary Margaret advised.

Ben and Evie shared a look before smirking at each other. Regina soon finally came into the room.

"Ah, Her Royal Highness being fashionably late, I see." Goldie remarked.

"Sorry, I'm late." Regina replied as she looked a little bashful.

Mary Margaret smirked as she noticed that. "Regina. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you look smitten." she then pointed out.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say Häagen-Dasz is smitten with your stomach." Regina scoffed.

"Jeez, Mom." Evie winced.

"Can we get started?" Regina asked a bit impatiently.

"We were waiting for Hook." Emma explained.

"I don't have time to wait for The Handless Wonder," Regina rolled her eyes. "We have to figure out how to destroy my sister."

"I think my mom's right even if she isn't exactly nice about it." Evie spoke up.

"I have to agree on that myself," Ben nodded. "Stopping The Wicked Witch's plan is the priority."

"There's something about this plan that doesn't fit: Regina." Emma pointed out.

"I'm the point of it," Regina clarified. "So she can take my life for herself."

"Yes, but why bring you back to Storybrooke?" Emma wondered. "Why bring any of us?"

"Well, no one's ever succeeded at traveling through time," Regina explained. "Perhaps something from this world makes it possible, but, what's almost as troubling is that she was able to cast the curse, to bring us all here in the first place."

"And why would that be?" Goldie wondered.

"To do it you have to give up the thing you love most," Regina explained. "From what I gather Zelena doesn't love much."

"So that's why Henry had to go away..." Evie muttered in realization.

"Precisely." Regina nodded at her daughter, glad to see that she was feeling a lot better right now.

"Neither did you. You managed." Emma reminded Regina.

"Zelena is smart. Strategic," Regina countered. "Perhaps we discovered something in the missing year to stop her."

"And then, the only way to stop us from interfering was to bring us back here and wipe our memories," Mary Margaret suggested. "So, if we get our memories back, we might already know how to defeat her."

"We just need to break this curse and save my dad." Ben piped up.

"Well, thank goodness we have a Savior." Mary Margaret replied.

"I would love to, but there's one problem. Last time, all it took was me believing in magic and kissing Henry," Emma reminded calmly. "Since I've been back, I've done both and nothing."

"It's the belief," Evie said with wide eyes. "Henry. He needs to believe. In this new life he doesn't. We have to get him to believe again." she then added.

"Well said, my daughter." Regina agreed.

"So, what?" Emma scoffed. "We put on a magic show?"

"Well, think about it, Swan," Goldie piped up. "How did Henry get you to believe?"

"The book," Emma shrugged in response. "The storybook."

"That's what started Henry on his original path and what got you to believe, so that might be the key." Evie pointed out.

"In him believing," Regina added as she began to realize what this could mean. "In him remembering. Remembering everything."

"That's not necessarily a gift," Emma reminded the other woman. "He's been through a lot of tough stuff."

"And some good stuff." Regina nodded.

"Either way it's our best bet." Evie agreed.

"That's the best we can hope for right now." Ben added.

"They're right." Mary Margaret replied.

"Shouldn't be too hard, right?" Goldie said. "Let's just get this storybook, give it to the kid, and we should all be golden, right?"

"We should be, but we just have to find it first." Evie suggested.

"You mean he didn't have it with him in New York?" Goldie complained suddenly.

"Why would he have it in New York if Fairy Tales aren't real, Goldilocks?" Regina retorted and crossed her arms.

"I'm just sayin'!" Goldie complained and defended firmly.

"Well, maybe use that porridge blob you call a brain to think of something useful." Regina retorted.

"Oh, that was one time!" Goldie rolled her eyes. "You sneak into one house to get a free meal and it's all everyone ever knows about you! How's Snow White's heart by the way, Queenie?"

"Why, I oughta-" Regina glared, about to argue with Goldie.

"Guys! Guys! We don't have time for this!" Evie spoke up, trying to prevent her new friend and mother from arguing. "I think I know where we can check for Henry's storybook."

"And where would that be, Princess Blueberry?" Goldie asked.

"Watch it with the Princess Blueberry stuff." Regina warned Goldie.

Goldie growled a bit with narrowed eyes before she looked back at Evie.

"We can check in Uncle Gold's shop," Evie suggested. "He has everything in there, especially those creepy puppets he used to use on me and Ben to keep us out of certain places in his shop or the mansion."

"And maybe I could check Henry's old room," Regina suggested. "I remember when we were last in Storybrooke that it was in there."

"Do you think it might still be in there?" Goldie wondered.

"I'm not fully certain, but it's better to check and see in case it ends up being there." Regina replied.

"All right then, we got an angle," Goldie replied. "Let's take a look."

Everyone else agreed as they would go do what they could to help Henry remember his adventures in Storybrooke and many more to come after that such as finding Emma for the first time, finding his long-lost father, finding Neverland, and eventually leaving Storybrooke only to have new memories rewritten into his mind by being raised by his single biological mother in New York City.


In the meantime, Zelena and Gabrielle were waiting in the woods together. Gabrielle began to look guilty and unhappy with what she was doing right now as a car pulled up to see them and Zelena was holding onto a certain flower.

Rumple soon came out of the car after parking it, then spotted Zelena and Gabrielle before noticing the red flower in an instant. "A rose. How lovely." he then pointed out.

"Have you earned it?" Zelena asked with a smirk.

In answer to her question, Rumple opened the car's trunk to show a certain pirate, tied up and gagged while lying down inside the trunk.

"It appears you have." Zelena remarked before she removed the gag.

"We're in Storybrooke. You've never heard of a telephone?" Killian scoffed at the literal witch.

Zelena chuckled as she gently brushed the rose against his face, especially his lips. "Such pretty lips. And so wasted. Why haven't you used those luscious lips and kissed Emma?" she then stated tauntingly before demanding firmly.

"A fellow likes to be courted." Killian retorted.

Gabrielle chuckled only to be silenced right away.

"This isn't a joke. I need to have her magic removed," Zelena reminded Killian sternly. "If Snow's baby is born before you kiss, I'm going to have no other option. I'm going to have to start killing people. People that Emma loves. Starting with her son." she then added before throwing the rose down at Killian.

"Speaking of sons, what have you done to mine?" Killian glared. "We can't be separated for too long. We're very close for a father and son you know."

"I know, but he's on a need-to-know basis," Zelena smirked mockingly. "Take away Emma Swan's magic, Captain, or the next rose will be on her little brat's grave and you may never see your own spawn ever again." she then added sternly before shutting the trunk.

Gabrielle winced as the trunk came to a close.

"And you, my little wicked one in training," Zelena suddenly spoke up to Gabrielle. "You're running out of time yourself. You haven't finished your tasks yet."

"Sorry..." Gabrielle whispered.

"You remember our deal, my dear," Zelena glared. "You help me or you'll never be back home with your parents like you wish."

"Yes, ma'am," Gabrielle said. "I'll get on it as soon as possible."

"See that you don't, otherwise it might get ugly for you and your future~" Zelena reminded. "Now go!" she then demanded.

Gabrielle frowned and whimpered with wide eyes, looking just as good as a kicked puppy and soon ran off. Rumple looked soft and a bit concerned about Gabrielle, but said nothing of it to avoid Zelena from unleashing any more wicked wrath onto him.


Soon, everyone met back up at Granny's Bed & Breakfast after they all did what they could when they split up.

"Well, so much for Old Golden Boy's place," Goldie groaned and rolled her eyes. "Not even he had the storybook at his place."

"Regina, you and Evie said the last place you saw it was Henry's room." Mary Margaret prompted the mother and daughter.

"Yes, but it's not there." Regina sighed.

"It must've been swept away by the last curse." Evie added.

"A book can't just disappear." David shook his head at that.

Mary Margaret then suddenly had an idea. "But it can just appear. The first curse," she then explained to the others. "It just showed up in my closet, when I needed it. Or more accurately, when Henry needed it."

"What do you mean?" Emma asked her mother.

"I remember that day," Evie recollected. "I came to visit him during my lunch hour because he was going through a rough time. He was realizing he had been given up. He didn't feel like he had a real family." she then added.

"He did." Regina admitted softly.

"That may be, but, Regina, he wasn't feeling that way with you or with anyone and not even his big sister," Mary Margaret replied. "He needed to believe in happy endings again. That's what the book gave him."

"Well, he needs to believe again. In fact, I think we all do," Regina scoffed. "What do you think we go check your closet?" she then suggested.

"It couldn't hurt if it was there in the first place, right?" Evie remarked.

"Exactly." Regina nodded at her daughter.

Soon, the group went to go into Granny's Diner. Leroy, Nova, and Dee Dee were eating together, though Dee Dee seemed to be looking at Henry with a lot on her mind, though she looked away from him before he would look to see her looking at him.

Emma soon approached Henry as he sat at the bar table as Ruby was giving him a drink. "Hey, kid. I gotta run. I got to check on a lead. You're okay to stay here longer?" she then said to him as she found him. "I'll call you later." she added before leaving out the diner suddenly.

Henry soon watched Emma leave and then decided to follow her outside. "Where are you really going?" he soon demanded.

"I told you; I'm following a lead." Emma defended as she turned around to face him.

"What lead?" Henry asked firmly.

"It's my job. It's complicated." Emma sighed as she tried to explain to him without explaining too much to him.

"Is this about the person who killed my dad?" Henry interrogated.

"Y-Yes..." Emma admitted out of reluctance.

"Then, tell me." Henry ordered from his mother.

"It would just be easier once it's all solved, Henry." Emma advised.

"Great idea, Swan... keep it vague." Goldie rolled her eyes to herself.

"Shush." David and Mary Margaret told her quietly and firmly.

"You've been lying to me ever since we got here," Henry complained to his mother. "I deserve to know everything."

"No, you don't!" Emma countered sternly. "I'm your mother and I know best. So, you just gonna have to deal with this for now, okay? Understood?" she then added.

"Dang, Emma." Evie whispered.

Regina blinked as even she thought that was a bit sudden and harsh.

"Yeah, I think I do." Henry said softly.

Emma nodded at that and soon started to walk away before being stopped by her son once again.

"Wait. I need your keys," Henry suddenly said. "I left mine in the room and if I'm gonna be a prisoner I'd like to have my Game Boy."

Emma looked back at him and soon handed him her keys. Henry accepted them and began to come back into Granny's Diner again as Emma left for her adventure with the other people Henry didn't remember knowing at all. Quickly walking past the guests, he left the diner through the rear entrance. Using the keys he then tried to unlock Emma's parked car, unaware that a certain someone stood behind him, watching his every move.

"Where are you off to there, mate?"

Henry then suddenly turned around to see a certain adult pirate right behind him. "Uh, nowhere." he then answered sheepishly.

"You're quite in the rush to go nowhere." Killian smirked as that reminded him of when Harry was young and more innocent.

"Fine. I'm going home." Henry admitted.

"Mm. You're running away." Killian concluded knowingly.

"Whatever." Henry rolled his eyes slightly.

"So, you're planning on driving all the way back to New York?" Killian smirked. "One lesson and you think you're ready for that?"

"No, just to the nearest bus station." Henry clarified calmly.

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that.," Killian warned the boy. "It's too dangerous."

"I don't care what you think." Henry said before he opened the car door.

"Well, you should," Killian retorted as he suddenly shut the door. "'Cuz I've got a better way."

"And I'm going too." A new voice suddenly said right behind them.

Killian and Henry turned around to suddenly see Dee Dee there.

"Hello."

"You?" Henry whispered with wide eyes. "Don't I know you from somewhere?"

"I'm not sure what you mean, Henry." Dee Dee said innocently.

"Okay, you just said my name," Henry then pointed out suddenly. "My mom might be the detective in the family, but I can't ignore something like that. How do you know my name?" he then demanded.

"Everybody knows about Henry Swan in Storybrooke because your mother was in town for a case involving your father." Dee Dee retorted easily.

"Oh... Right..." Henry blinked as he had to admit that she had him there. "Good point."

"Anyway, I wanna come along too and have an adventure of my own," Dee Dee soon said. "I promise I won't tell anyone what you're up to, Henry."

"Well... okay..." Henry said before giving her a small smile. "I guess I could get to know you better... you seem... interesting even if you think that some Fairy Tales are real and I have something to do with them." he then added.

"More real than you might know..." Dee Dee whispered before she gave him a small smile. "Let's at least get to know each other better. My name's Delia, but everyone calls me Dee Dee."

"All right then, Dee Dee," Henry nodded. "Let's hang out." he then added, not realizing he had known the blonde girl a lot longer than he was led to believe he did.

Killian smirked as he watched Henry and Dee Dee as they headed out as it was about to snow.


Meanwhile, at the Blanchard loft, Emma, Mary Margaret, David, Evie, Goldie, and Regina were looking for Henry's storybook. David, Goldie, and Regina searched the bedroom, Mary Margaret, Evie, and Emma another. Regina opened one suitcase and looked inside searching for the book. It was empty.

David then opened a chest only to see shoe boxes stored inside. "Why do women keep their shoe boxes?" he then complained as he set the shoe boxes aside.

"Because after true love there is no more powerful magic than footwear," Mary Margaret retorted as she overheard her husband's remark. "It has to be protected."

"Besides, you never know when you might need a diorama for school." Evie added.

"That too." Mary Margaret agreed.

"Any sign of the book?" Emma asked.

"No. I don't think it's here." David replied.

"You don't know that!" Mary Margaret retorted.

"Maybe it's in this thing," Emma suggested as she came in, carrying another wooden chest while she joined David, Regina, and Evie before placing the chest on the box and opening it only to see clothes stored inside, much to her relief. "Some winter coats. Some scarves. The book is not in here." she then sighed out of frustration.

"Can I try something?" Goldie spoke up.

"Goldie, I already told you, it's not here." Emma told the other blonde woman.

"Just trust me on this, okay?" Goldie replied.

Emma blinked before shrugging as she got out of Goldie's way. Goldie soon searched through the box a bit more thoroughly and soon took out the storybook they were looking for.

"Wow! Way to go, Goldilocks." Mary Margaret beamed.

"I don't understand, how did you know?" Regina added, sounding bewildered.

"For once, my disrespect for other people's private property has saved the day," Goldie smirked. "Take that, Three Bears."

"Can I see that?" Regina asked.

"Yeah, sure." Goldie said before giving the book to Regina.

"I know there are chapters on Oz in here. I wanna know whose heart Zelena crushed to enact this curse," Regina said as she began to look through the book before leaving the room. "Because if there's something she loved, that's her weakness."

Everyone else began to follow Regina except for Evie. "Did you really not see it in there?" she then asked Emma out of suspicion.

"You think I'm lying?" Emma retorted.

"I don't think of you as a liar, Emma, but you've been acting funny since we left Granny's." Evie clarified.

"It's nothing." Emma dismissed.

"No, it's not nothing," Evie retorted firmly. "You yelled at Henry. That's not like you." she then added.

"None of this is like me," Emma shook her head. "At least, it never used to be."

"What are you talking about?" Evie then asked.

"I'm talking about wicked witches and time-traveling holy wars. I've forgotten what it was like here," Emma explained out of exasperation. "I don't want that for Henry."

"You're going back to New York after this is all over, aren't you?" Evie asked out of suspicion. "You miss the simple life you once had even if you were alone again, but this time you had Henry with you the whole time?"

"Dang... You're smart for a kid..." Emma admitted.

"That's why you looked relieved when we couldn't find the book," Evie then added. "You don't want his memories back."

"Who was your father, Sherlock Holmes?" Emma countered.

"Emma..." Evie said firmly as she put her hands on her hips.

Emma sighed sharply and soon confessed a bit more. "If getting his memories back is the only way to break the curse, then that's what we're gonna do," she then admitted to the blue-haired girl. "But I don't want it to be any harder on him than it has to be. Our life in New York was really good."

"I'm sure it was simple and easier, but that's not your home, Emma." Evie reminded the blonde woman.

"It was for us." Emma defended.

"That's because you forgot about your family here, especially with you being the daughter of Snow White," Evie then said before Emma looked down out of embarrassment. "Come on. Let's go get Henry." she then suggested.

Emma looked over and nodded as she had to agree that that sounded best despite her mixed feelings for Storybrooke right now.


Soon, they all came right back into the diner. Emma went to go in the room that she and Henry were staying in until she came right back and Henry didn't seem to be in the main part of the restaurant anymore.

"Kiara, did you happen to see where Henry went?" Evie asked her friend as she was delivering a plate of burger and fries.

"No, I'm sorry, I was in the kitchen for a while." Kiara explained as she went to deliver the food order to Sean and Ashley who looked concerned since they were missing someone at their table.

"He's gone." Emma suddenly said as she came in.

"What do you mean, gone?" Regina demanded.

"I mean he's not in the room," Emma explained. "He's not in the parlor and my keys are gone. My car keys."

"You don't sound too surprised." Evie remarked.

"I should've known he'd try something like this," Emma sighed. "Neal might not have been there for Henry his whole life, but he's still Neal's son."

"Give me something of his," Regina offered. "I'll try a locator spell.

"I'm way ahead of you. I've got GPS on his phone," Emma replied before she took out her phone and used a certain app, then found Henry at Storybrooke Harbor. "He's at the docks."

"Then that's where we'll go too and I'm not taking any prisoners." Goldie added as she took out her trademark pistol to use if necessary.

"Let's just hope it doesn't come down to all of that." Evie said nervously.

"Only way to find out." Goldie replied.


AT THE DOCKS...

"Dee Dee, Henry, these are a couple of friends of mine," Killian began to say. "Mr. and Miss Smee."

"Like from Peter Pan?" Henry asked Smee out of intrigue.

"You remember?" Smee asked hopefully.

"I've seen the movie a million times." Henry explained.

"Am I in it?" Samantha asked hopefully.

"It's quite a common name in the seafaring world," Killian covered up. "As luck would have it they're making sail to New York and would be happy for the company." he then added.

"We are?" The Smee siblings both asked until they quickly exchanged glances with their captain. "We mean... we are."

"Really?" Henry asked out of doubt. "Where is your ship?"

"Um..." Smee paused until he noticed a small boat moored behind him. "There she is."

"You're stealing it, right?" Henry guessed.

"Kid, do you wanna go to New York or not?" Samantha asked impatiently.

"Why are you helping me?" Henry asked.

Dee Dee flinched and gasped, feeling more cold from fear besides the snow. The distant sound of flapping wings gradually got louder.

"C-C-Captain!" Smee stuttered nervously.

"Winged Beasts!" Samantha added, unable to help it.

"Mr. and Miss Smee, we need to get the kids to the boat house." Killian warned.

"Why? What's going on?" Henry asked until he looked up in the cloudy sky and saw a flying monkey who seemed to have a tuft of curly blonde fur on top of its head as it circled above them and descended, trying to attack them. "Killian, what is that?!" he then asked.

"Now!" Killian urged before he took off running.

Samantha and Smee soon rushed Henry and Dee Dee right into the boat house as Killian ran.

"What now, Captain?" Samantha asked as she locked the door.

"Take the kids there. Far exit. Find a new boat. I'll stay here to deal with our winged friends," Kilian instructed urgently before looking at Henry and Dee Dee. "Kids, go with the Smees. Don't stop, no matter what you hear."

"Aye-Aye, Captain!" Dee Dee saluted as she took off then.

Henry briefly stopped once again, watching the flying monkey descending.

"Henry, go!" Killian urged, firing his pistol at a couple of flying monkeys who fell and hit the ground before they disappeared in a magic dust cloud and turned into Chad and Audrey.

Henry then suddenly tripped over a coiled rope. A third monkey soon descended, coming in to attack the boy.

Dee Dee gasped and frowned with wide eyes. "Henry..." she then trembled.

"No!" Killian cried out and tried to fire his pistol once again, but it was suddenly empty.


"This porridge is too hot... This porridge is too cold... but this porridge is JUST RIGHT!" A mysterious voice suddenly said from the shadows.

However, another bullet was shot and hit the third monkey directly in the chest thanks to Goldie as a magic dust cloud appeared and the monkey seemed to turn into Gil. Running Emma, David, Evie, Goldie, and Regina entered the boat house. David then threw his sword at another winged creature that disappeared into fire and smoke.

"I never liked pets." Regina glared as she launched a fireball at a monkey sitting above.

Two surviving flying monkeys remained as Emma shot one of them and Regina launched a fireball at their last opponent.

"Henry, are you okay?" Emma asked softly.

"Y-Yeah. What were those things?" Henry replied weakly.

"A Flying Monkey." Dee Dee simply stated as David sheathed his sword.

"Why did you say that like it was a completely normal answer?" Henry asked before seeing what David did. "And why does he have a sword?"

"It's all gonna make sense in a minute, I promise." Emma reassured him.

"What are you talking about?" Henry demanded.

"I'm sorry I was keeping things from you. You were right," Emma said before she showed her son the storybook. "You deserve to know the truth."

"About Fairy Tales?" Henry replied, feeling even more lost and confused. "I don't understand."

"Do you trust me?" Emma asked softly.

"Yes, of course, I do." Henry nodded.

"Then I need you to believe." Emma advised.

"Believe in what?" Henry asked.

"Believe in magic." Dee Dee said as she stepped over to help out.

"From a book?" Henry asked doubtfully.

"It's more than just a book," Emma told her son. "Do you believe in us?"

"Yes." Henry nodded.

"Then take it." Evie told Henry calmly.

Emma then handed Henry the book. As soon as he took it Henry remembered meeting Dee Dee for the first time in Storybrooke Elementary School, visiting Emma in Boston, both of them sitting together at his castle, Emma breaking the curse, using pixie dust to fly in Neverland with his great-grandfather, practice sword fighting with his father, and finally leaving Storybrooke.

"Mom?" Henry blinked and spoke softly.

Emma smiled.

"Mom!" Henry then beamed a bit once he saw Regina.

Evie sniffled and smiled once Henry seemed to be back to his old self again.

"I remember," Henry said as he hugged Regina before he looked back at Emma. "I remember."

"I was almost about to kiss you since that's what Mr. Captain Hook did to your Swan mother." Dee Dee said to Henry innocently.

"Uh, well... okay then..." Henry blinked and blushed at that.

"Do it, Emma. Break the curse." Regina urged.

Emma smiled as she leaned forward to kiss Henry, only for him to suddenly disappear.

"So, sorry to interrupt," Zelena smirked as she was suddenly shown and trapped Henry in her arms. "Now, who wants to say goodbye first?"

"Aunt Zelena..." Evie glared and hissed.

"Who are you?" Henry asked the witch.

"You can call me Auntie Zelena." The redheaded woman suggested with a smirk.

"Enough of this." Regina glared as she took a step toward her sister only for Zelena to raise a hand and magically pushed her sister backwards.

"Mom!" Evie yelped at that.

"Let him go," Emma glared at Zelena. "He had nothing to do with this."

"Don't blame me. The captain failed me." Zelena retorted.

"Damn you, Zelena." Killian muttered.

"Hook, what's she talking about?" Emma asked the adult pirate wearily.

"He knew what the price of that failure was: Your son's life." Zelena explained with a sly smirk.

"Mom..." Henry groaned as his voice strained.

Emma and Evie soon both focused on their magic and soon forced Zelena to free Henry.

"Run, Henry! RUN!" Evie cried out.

Henry then ran off and soon quickly hugged Emma. Dee Dee then also got out of the way before anything could also happen to her.

"Enjoy this moment together because you don't have many left!" Zelena snarled out of frustration and defeat before she disappeared in a cloud of green smoke.

"Somehow I don't think that's the last we've seen of Aunt Zelena." Evie remarked.

"No kiddin'." Goldie replied.

"Henry, are you okay?" Emma asked her son softly.

"Yeah. Yeah," Henry said before he knelt down beside Regina and gently tried to shake her awake. "Mom! Mom! Mom!"

"Mommy, please wake up..." Evie frowned in deep worry.

Regina soon gasped and woke up with wide eyes in almost an instant. "Henry." she then said softly.

"Mom." Henry smiled at that.

Regina then stood up and hugged Henry while Evie smiled tearfully.

"Evie." Henry said before smiling at his former big sister.

"Aww... come here, my little brother prince." Evie cooed as she soon hugged Henry as well.

"Henry. Oh, Henry," Regina smiled out of relief. "I will never let you go away again. I promise. I love you, Henry." she then added before kissing Henry lightly on the forehead, causing The Dark Curse to break and free them all from it.

Mary Margaret smiled in relief along with David as they were finally free.

"Mom... Emma didn't have to do anything... it was with you all along." Evie pointed out.

"She's right," Emma agreed before she faced her parents. "Mary Margaret. David, did it work? Do you remember the missing year?" she then asked them hopefully.

"Yes, everything." Mary Margaret confirmed as David nodded.

"How did Zelena cast the curse?" Emma then wondered.

"She didn't, Emma. We did." Mary Margaret clarified.

"You cursed yourselves?" Emma asked out of shock.

"Zelena's weakness is light magic. I mean, it's clear now, more than ever," Mary Margaret explained. "You're the only one who can defeat her."

"That's why we paid the price for Regina's curse," David added. "To find you."

"The price of the curse is the heart of the thing you love most," Emma memorized before she looked even more curious right now. "If one of you cast it, how are you both still here?" she then added.

"It's a long story." David replied.

"Yeah, a long story." Mary Margaret added.

Goldie appeared to be trying to sneak away again while everyone else seemed to be distracted.


In the meantime, Regina decided to catch up with her former adoptive son.

"Come on, Henry," Evie smiled at her little brother. "Tell us all about New York."

"Yes, we'd love to hear about it." Regina added.

"New York was awesome," Henry beamed out of excitement as they began to leave the boathouse. "The pizza. The Yankees. My school."

"Slow down," Regina chuckled. "I wanna hear it all."

"I wanna hear about it too," Evie added. "The entire year."

Henry smiled before he faced his former mother and big sister. "I found an apple tree in Central Park that looked exactly like the one by your office. Of course, I didn't know back then, but now I do. And guess what?" he then said to them before rhetorically asking.

"What?" Regina and Evie asked.

"I got pretty good at math." Henry replied.

"No way! You?" Evie smirked playfully.

"Pretty good. Not Stephen Hawking-good, but good," Henry replied. "What did I miss here?" he then asked.

"Nothing much," Regina shrugged. "Nothing that matters now."

"Not even that guy that was kissing you?" Henry asked with a small smirk.

"Ooh~" Evie giggled.

"Let's stay focused on New York," Regina tried to change the subject as she could be seen blushing. "Tell me about the pizza."

"Come on, Mom. Who is he?" Henry urged to hear more.

"You also look redder than a Macintosh apple, Mom." Evie added.

Regina sighed bashfully, now knowing she couldn't avoid this subject before she decided to come clean. "His name is Robin... Hood. We just started seeing each other." she confessed to Henry.

"Also yes, as in Robin Hood from Sherwood Forest." Evie added once Henry began to look amazed at that reveal.

"At your service." Robin said as he suddenly came in and soon shook hands with Henry.

"Awesome~" Henry beamed once he met the famous and fabled outlaw.

"Hi, Mr. Hood." Evie greeted.

"Good day to you, Princess Evie." Robin nodded at her.

"So, the curse is broken." Regina remarked.

"Indeed. And the missing year?" Robin nodded and added before giving Regina a small smile. "Things a bit rocky between us, yeah?"

"For some reason, you're so much more likable here in Storybrooke." Regina chuckled sheepishly.

Evie smiled as she looked hopeful for her mother. Laughing, Robin soon put an arm around Regina and left along with her as well as Evie and Henry as Emma approached Killian to talk to him about something. Goldie kept trying to sneak away without being seen by anyone as she was being very mysterious and elusive.

"What do we do about Chad, Audrey, and Gil?" Evie wondered as she saw her fallen friends who had been cursed to be flying monkeys by Aunt Zelena no doubt.

"We should probably take them to the hospital." Regina suggested.

Evie nodded. "I think I know who did this to them." she then said.

"Zelena." Regina rolled her eyes.

"Bingo," Evie replied. "Hopefully this hospital visit will be an easy one."

"You guys go to the hospital, I wanna show Henry something." Emma said to the mother and daughter duo.

"All right, see ya later then, Emma." Evie replied.

"See ya." Emma nodded at that.

"Good luck, Henry." Evie then said, knowing what Emma was probably going to show Henry.

"See ya, Evie," Henry said softly. "By the way, thanks so much for the scarf."

"I thought it would look good on you." Evie smiled.

Henry smiled back a little bit. However, what everyone didn't know that a trip to the hospital wasn't going to be a simple one and not just with Gil, Audrey, and Chad being in intensive care after they were turned into Flying Monkeys against their will.
