Once Upon a Time

Previously on "Once Upon a Time"...

Hi, m'lady.

I mean, uh, Violet.

I miss you.

Swan?

- How are you here? - Zeus... he must have sent me back.

And this isn't going to kill you,

- it's going to end you. - No!

This is my kingdom.

- To Robin! - To Robin.

Regina.

Look, I know that there's nothing we can really say,

but we just want you to know...

you don't have to go through this alone.

She won't have to.

I think what my sister needs is a little time

with someone who understands what she's going through.

Zelena, we're sorry.

What happened with Hades, that...

can't exactly be easy.

We'll leave you two alone.

Henry.

Violet.

I'm sorry about Robin.

Thank you.

When I heard you went to the Underworld,

I was afraid I was never gonna see you again.

You were?

Me, too.

When we get to Granny's,

I think it's best if you wait outside.

Aye. Regina.

Robin's death... it can't be easy for her.

And seeing you back when that's not possible for him?

Fate is cruel.

It could push her over the edge.

She cursed an entire kingdom when she lost her first love.

Yeah, but she's changed much since then.

I know.

But I still need to break the news about you carefully.

It's the right thing to do.

Belle, since your father refused to wake you,

I'm gonna have to find another way, and I will.

It's not just you I have to worry about now.

It's our family, our unborn child.

There's only one way I can free you both.

I need more power.

I need all of it.

Regina.

Emma, please.

I've already had enough people feeling sorry for me today.

I know.

I just think we should talk somewhere quiet.

It's kind of delicate.

What the hell was that?

Swan!

Is everything okay?

Hook.

What the bloody hell's the pirate doing here?

We thought we left you in the Underworld.

Aye, you did. But now I'm back.

Delicate, as always.

Regina.

I'm used to suffering, Swan,

and I'm used to others getting their way.

Right now, neither one of our feelings matter.

Given that blast of magic,

there's only one person not present

who's powerful enough for something like that.

Gold.

He's got the Olympian crystal,

or part of it, anyway.

Some of it must have survived.

I can still feel the aura from it.

Yeah, you're not the only one.

He used it to cast a tethering spell.

Tethering spell?

What was Gold attaching the crystal to?

Storybrooke's magic.

That's why he cast a spell here.

With that crystal, he can harness

all of this town's magic for his own purpose.

Gold already has the power of all the Dark Ones.

Why does he need more?

To wake Belle.

True love's kiss didn't work

because she doesn't want to be with him.

Aye, and once the Crocodile wakes Belle,

do you think he'll stop there?

Do you think he'll just

turn the bloody crystal and all of its power over to us?

He's right. Let's go get that crystal.

Let's.

- Where should we start? - Actually, um...

I was thinking maybe you should sit this one out.

Oh, that's why you were trying to be delicate with me.

You're worried the Evil Queen is about to come out to play.

No, I just want what's best for you.

No, you don't.

When you're upset, we follow you to Hell.

But when I'm upset, I get a time-out.

Okay.

You're not in any state to think straight about this.

And you don't get to tell me what to do.

- Moms, please. - Henry, now's not the time.

Maybe just take a minute to cool off and think about it.

You don't want my help. Fine.

I'll fix this on my own.

Kid... go to my place and stay there.

You'll be safe, okay?

We got this.

I mean it, Henry. Go right home.

Henry.

What's... What's going on? I got your text.

It's my grandpa.

He's trying to steal Storybrooke's magic.

It made me realize how bad it is.

It's always magic. Always.

Magic turned my mom into a Dark One,

it took away the man my other mom loved,

and now...

now I think it's gonna tear my parents apart.

I used to think there was light and dark magic,

but it's all bad.

Look around this shop.

These... These are Geppetto's parents.

This needle has put dozens of people under a curse

they can't wake from,

and this... an entire village is frozen in there.

It's hurt so many people.

My mother...

that's how she died... magic.

Come with me on a road trip.

I-It's like a quest, but on a bus,

which is like a horse, but with wheels and seats.

J-Just... just come with me.

What do you say? I think I can fix this.

My father would probably kill me.

B-But yes. Of course I'll come.

Great. Great.

We'll call it "Operation Mixtape."

There's just one more thing we're going to need.

I promised I'd never use this pen

to do anything besides record what happens,

but what we're about to do is for the greater good.

_

What's that?

The crystal my grandpa tethered Storybrooke's magic to.

Wait, I-I-I don't understand. You said magic is bad.

Why are we going to take it out of Storybrooke?

To destroy it.

Once and for all.

So far, no sign of Gold,

which means we need to expand our search perimeter

to include the woods.

Where is he?

I told you. We got this. We'll find Gold.

Not Gold. Henry.

"Mom, there's only one way

to fix everything that's tearing us apart.

- I have to destroy... - "The source of all of our problems."

I got the same text.

What does he mean? What is the source of all of our problems?

What is he going to destr...

Well, I think I can answer that.

The Olympian crystal and all the magic tethered to it.

It would appear my grandson has outsmarted us all,

used his authorial power

to steal the crystal right out from under my nose.

Would Henry even do that... destroy magic?

We'd better hope he doesn't.

Why? What happens if Henry succeeds?

Considering this town was built with magic,

what do you think will happen?

He would never destroy magic if he knew it could hurt us.

I'll be sure to tell him that

right before I take the crystal back.

Don't you dare go near my son.

Sorry, dearie, but he's threatening me now.

Regina, where are you going?

I just lost Robin. I'm not about to lose Henry, too.

I know, but we have to be smart about this.

Gold doesn't know where Henry is any more than we do.

We?

I don't remember inviting you to come along.

You benched me. Now I bench you.

Even if I knew how to find Henry?

All right, Sheriff Swan...

where is he?

You think after all those times he ran away,

I wouldn't put a GPS app on his phone?

Let's get to the bug. We have to catch up to him.

Where's he headed?

Boston.

Is it true? Magic might disappear?

Only if Henry destroys the crystal.

Which he won't, not with Emma and Regina searching for him.

Yeah, but what if they don't find him in time?

How are we gonna get back without magic?

It won't be a problem if we send you home now.
