Once Upon a Time

Previously on "Once Upon a Time"...

The tremors, they come with visions.

It's very hard to keep this secret from my family.

This happiness is an illusion.

I want you to see how pointless you are.

Once you're off the chessboard...

everything falls apart.

I thought you were different than Regina.

I'm the sister you want, Zelena.

You would never settle for less.

- Oh. - Ohh.

My name is Shirin.

I'm your new teacher's aid.

I did not come this far

only to give up on finding Aladdin.

We will find him, Jasmine.

Get on your knees, vermin!

Get down! Down!

The Sultan does not tolerate thieves in Agrabah.

And more importantly, neither do I.

Our city has become overrun.

You vermin.

Nothing more than street rats.

Now as you should be.

So, are you as bold as they say?

Oh, uh, no.

Just, um... late for work at the, uh, bakery.

Look at the time.

- Got to get that yeast rising, you know? - You're not a baker.

Well, the truth about that is...

And you're a terrible liar.

Relax. I'm not here to report you.

I'm here to hire you, Aladdin.

Well, I'm at a disadvantage.

Who are you?

You're the Princess.

Jasmine.

What are you doing here?

Shouldn't you be at, like, a palace or something?

I don't care for the palace, thank you very much.

Not since Jafar

became my father, the Sultan's, advisor.

He's a despot.

He's taking advantage of my father's kind heart

and destroying Agrabah from the inside,

starving citizens and delivering brutal justice

when they're just trying to grab a crust of bread

for their families.

That's why I've come to you.

- You want me to steal bread? - No.

I want you to help me defeat Jafar.

Defeat Jafar?

Did you miss what he just did?

He turned people into rats.

He has magic.

Please.

Only you can do this.

I need your help, Aladdin.

- Agrabah needs your help. - Sorry, Princess.

Only person I help is me.

Look in your pocket.

- What? - Look!

The Golden Scarab of Agrabah.

- One of the great royal treasures. - Take it back.

I don't care how much you're paying me.

Oh, you don't understand.

It's not payment.

Oh, no! It's missing!

The royal scarab! Shh! Okay!

- Thief! - Okay, shh!

Okay, I'll do it.

I'll do it.

So, what are we stealing?

Nothing much.

Just the most powerful magic in all the realm.

A weapon known as the Diamond in the Rough.

Right.

Emma, I really don't think chasing a bird

is an effective form of therapy.

Last time, he took me to the Oracle.

He'll do it again.

She knows what's going on with my visions.

She says she knows, but I can actually help you.

This is not dream interpretation.

Emma, this is the opposite

of how therapy's supposed to work.

- I mean, we're... we're making progress. - Well, I don't see it.

My hands are still shaking and the visions are still haunting me

despite all the hours on the couch.

So no more talking. Today we do something.

Whoa.

Hello?

Hey.

Oh, no. Is she...

I think so.

Who would do this?

Shh.

Stop!

Hey!

Hey, stop! Stop!

I guess Shirin was after more

than just a fulfilling career in education.

If that's even her real name.

Let's go find out.

So, let's talk.

Who are you really, Shirin?

What are you doing here?

Let us help you.

Tell us who you are.

I...

I can't tell you.

I've had to keep my true self secret for many years.

In the Land of Untold Stories,

Hyde... he could use this against me.

Hyde's dead.

- Really? - Yeah, he's gone.

You don't have to be afraid of him.

I'm Princess Jasmine of Agrabah.

And I swear to you I am innocent of this crime.

I believe you.

- Really? - I have, kind of, a superpower.

So if it wasn't you, who was it?

I have no idea.

That girl, she was my friend.

She was helping me find a man

who I cared about a long, long time ago.

Aladdin?

You know him?

No, I just saw the movie.

It's a this world thing.

But where is he?

I wish I knew.

He was quite special.

He was the Savior.

- What? - What?

It's about time the doctor's in.

What do you want?

I want to talk about Emma Swan.

You know that I cannot talk about my patients.

Oh, I think you'll make an exception for me.

Now, Mr. Hyde, before his untimely demise,

told me the Oracle gave Emma visions of her future,

and she wasn't willing to tell me about them, so...

It was you.

You killed her.

Well, if that surprises you,

you're not much with reading people.

Probably not good for a therapist.

But since the Oracle is gone, I need information,

and you, Cricket, are my only source.

Don't you remember what a great team we made?

Let's do it one more time for old time's sake.

No.

Well, I always knew you had a conscience.

Tell me, are you developing a spine to go with it?

No matter.

If you won't tell me about Emma's visions,

then I'll just ask her myself.

Nap time.

Here you go.

Shh, shh, shh.

What the...?

Sister.

As if I don't have anything better to do with my time

than watch her victims.

Let me go, please.

Alas.

As twisted as my evil sibling is,

she usually has her reasons.

You don't have to listen to her.

Y-You can do whatever you feel is right for you.

You don't have to be in... in anyone's shadow.

Are you psychoanalyzing me?

You are psychoanalyzing me.

I've got enough to do.

I don't need another baby to watch.

Emma, we need to talk.

I don't remember scheduling another session.

Did we schedule another session?

No, no, no, no.

But I-I just was thinking about your situation,

and, uh, I just couldn't let go of it,

and I-I just think we've got more to explore

with that vision.

I don't think we need to.

Things have changed.

They... they have?

Yeah, there's another Savior...

one that came before me, and, Archie,

he's alive.

Wait, a... another Savior?

Yeah. Aladdin.

You know, like "A Whole New World" and magic carpets.

Aladdin. He made it.

He's okay, which means if he is,

then maybe the vision doesn't matter.

Maybe it's wrong.

Maybe all Saviors don't die,

and then it's okay that I can tell my family

because there's nothing to tell.
