Once Upon A Time Episode Guide
Regina tries to escape her family lands only for the trees to come alive and snatch her back.
Cora arrives wielding her book of spells and explains that her barrier spell will only allow Cora to
leave if she is with King Leopold once they marry. Regina tells her mother that she only wants to
be free, but Cora tells her that the path to freedom is with power and assures her daughter that
she will show her how.
As David finds Henry, everyone runs up to the Prince with questions, but he ignores them
and finds the Mother Superior. She admits that even if there were a tree leading back to the
Enchanted Forest like the tree that Emma came through, she has no fairy dust to activate it. The
dwarves arrive and tell everyone that after trying to cross the barrier, Sneezy no longer has any
memory of his life in the Enchanted Forest. As everyone starts to panic, David tells everyone to
come back in two hours and he’ll tell them his plan. As he walks off, Ruby asks what his plan is
and he hopes that he’ll have one in two hours.
At home, Regina tries to ignite a candle using magic but fails. When she goes out to her car,
she finds Archie waiting for her. He suggests that she might want to talk about her pain to help
herself but Regina tells him that she knows who she is and drives off.
Regina is attending to Snow in preparation for the wedding and imagines strangling the girl
for betraying her lover Daniel to Cora.
After getting ahold of herself, Regina tells Snow that she doesn’t remember where she got
Daniel’s ring. She goes to see her father and warns him that Cora is making her crazy. He says
that his wife just wants Regina to have what she never had. When Regina wonders how Cora
obtained the book of spells, Henry explains that a man gave her to it and it’s the book that made
Cora what she is today.
He doesn’t know the man’s name but Regina suspects that it is inscribed in the book.
Regina goes to the pawnshop and searches for the book, and Gold confronts her. He realizes
what she wants and tells her that she should relax and let the magic come to her, but Regina
insists that she needs it now. Gold tells her to leave, saying it isn’t in his best interests to help
her. When Regina threatens to reveal that the Enchanted Forest still exists and that Gold hid
that knowledge, Gold relents and gives her the book. However, he warns her that trying to use
that much magic can be dangerous.
Unconcerned, Regina walks away but stops when Gold says that he can finally see her resemblance
to her mother Cora.
Regina takes the book of spells from beneath Cora’s pillow as her mother lies sleeping and
goes back to the balcony. She finds Rumpelstiltskin’s name in the book and tries to say it out
loud. He’s already waiting for her and introduces herself, saying that he knows all about her.
Rumpelstiltskin tells Regina that he knew her long ago and has been waiting for the day when
they would be back together.
Regina sits in her yard beneath the apple tree and looks at the book.
At the apartment, David tries to rehearse a speech but admits to Henry that he doesn’t have
anything. Henry goes through his storybook and confirms that the hat belongs to the Mad Hatter
and that he used it to travel between worlds. When David wonders who in town is the Mad Hatter,
Henry says that he doesn’t know but suggests that his grandfather check at the crisis center after
he gives his speech. David gets an idea and leaves with the hat, ignoring Henry’s pleased to let
him help.
Gold is packing his bags at the pawnshop when David storms in. He wants to buy a way to
find someone like the ring that Rumpelstiltskin gave him in the Enchanted Forest. Gold asks for
an object belonging to the person David wants found, but David knows better and asks for the
tracking spell. The pawnbroker reluctantly hands it over but demands for David’s promise not to
interfere in his business. David agrees but only if Gold makes the same promise, and he does. As
David starts to leave, Gold asks what happened to the magical border surrounding Storybrooke.
David tells him that it wipes their memories of their real lives and leaves, and Gold smashes a
case in frustration.
Rumpelstiltskin tells Regina that he has much history with her family, in the past and in the
future. He wonders if she wants power to hurt others but Regina insists that she doesn’t want to
hurt anyone. Stroking her cheek, Rumpelstiltskin says that she has power and offers to show her
how to create the magic to make a doorway and send Cora away. When Regina refuses, insisting
that she doesn’t want to become like her mother, Rumpelstiltskin agrees to do the magic. He
