Once Upon A Time Episode Guide
He isn’t interested until Regina tells him that Cora is on her way from the Enchanted Forest
to Storybrooke. Gold is confident he can defeat her just as he did in the past, but Regina points
out that he has a new weakness: Belle. Gold concedes the point and asks where Cora is.
The women set up camp in the woods and wait until the next time that Henry agreed to
meet Aurora in the netherworld. Mulan notices that Aurora’s arm is burned and forbids her
from returning to the netherworld. The warrior reminds Aurora that she promised to keep the
princess safe but Aurora insists that after all the years that she has spent asleep, she wants to
do something to help others.
Regina and Gold go to the apartment and Regina gives Henry his blanket from home. Henry
tells David that he’s tired of reading about heroes and wants to be one, but David warns him that
heroism means knowing when not to leap into danger. David then tells Gold to get onto it. The
pawnbroker tells Henry a bedtime story about how his grandparents defeated Rumplestiltskin
by using a quill, and the quill had a rare squid ink. Gold tells Henry that there is a supply of the
ink in his jail cell and that the boy should tell Aurora to go there and find it.
As Aurora dozes off, the others stand guard and Mary Margaret tells her daughter that she
will see Henry again. As they wait, they hear something moving in the woods and Mulan draws
her sword. In the netherworld, Henry finds Aurora and tries to give her the message. She’s
unable to hear him over the roar of the flames, and something suddenly sucks Aurora out of the
netherworld. When Aurora wakes up, she discovers that the undead survivors have attacked the
camp. The others try to hold them off and one of them grabs the compass. Mary Margaret shoots
it with an arrow but the other corpses close in. As mother and daughter fight, they realize that
Mulan has taken Aurora and they go off in pursuit.
Mulan and Aurora encounter more of the walking dead and while Mulan kills one, the others
take Aurora with them. When Mary Margaret and Emma arrive, Mulan tells them what happened
to the princess.
Henry wakes up and tells the others what happened. As Regina examines her son, she realizes
that his arm is burned from his exposure to the flames in the netherworld.
The undead throw Aurora into the dungeon at the survivors’ encampment. Cora brings the
princess some stew and explains that she didn’t want Aurora. However, she plans to use her to
force the others to trade for the compass. Aurora doesn’t believe that Mary Margaret and Emma
will trade their means of escape for her, but Cora tells her that they won’t let an innocent die.
The sorceress points out that Aurora has nothing waiting for her in Storybrooke and implies that
she’s abandoning her lover, Phillip. Aurora says that she would do anything to bring her beloved
back and Cora says that a soul can be brought back after a wraith sends it to the netherworld.
Aurora kicks Cora in the leg and says that she will never help her. Cora knocks her aside with a
magical blast and then tells her raven to give Mary Margaret a message.
The raven seeks out Mary Margaret and gives her Cora’s message: they have until sunset to
bring the sorceress the compass. Mulan insists on making the trade since her vow is to protect
Aurora, not help Emma and Mary Margaret. When she tries to grab it, Emma struggles with her
and Mary Margaret stops them. She asks Mulan to give them a few hours to defeat Cora, and if
they fail then they’ll turn over the compass and make the trade. Mulan reluctantly agrees but
point out that they have no way to defeat Cora without Gold’s information, and they have no
way to contact Gold without Aurora. Mary Margaret reluctantly says that since she was also a
victim of the sleeping curse, she can go to the flaming room. She tells Mulan to make more of the
sleeping powder that they used on the giant and Mulan says that they will need to travel to get
the poppy seeds necessary.
After magically healing Henry’s arm, Gold explains that repeated trips to the netherworld can
harm the traveler. When someone pulled Aurora out of the netherworld, her connection to Henry
injured him. However, the pawnbroker insists that they have to send Henry back to give the
others the knowledge they need to defeat Cora. David refuses but Gold warns him that if Cora
arrives in Storybrooke then she will do much worse to Henry and everyone else. Regina points
out that Aurora won’t be there but David is sure that his wife will find a way. He suggests that
Gold cast the sleeping curse on him so that he can travel to the netherworld and speak with
Mary Margaret. Gold warns that David will have no way back but David is sure that once Mary
Margaret finds him, she will kiss him and break the curse.
Hook goes to the dungeon and frees Aurora. He tells her that he plans to get revenge on Cora
for double-crossing him. As Aurora leaves, Hook tells Aurora to tell Emma that he’s still willing
