At Gold's cabin in the woods, Ursula was outside on the veranda, overlooking the lake, as she listened to someone singing on an old radio. She's unaware that Cruella has come outside. "Darling. Come. You're missing out on all the fun." Then Ursula turned off her radio and followed Cruella.
When they were inside, August was still tied up on a chair. Gold, Caitlynn and Regina were standing together, watching him struggle against his bonds.
"I already told you... I don't know anything about this author." August looked at them.
Ursula entered with Cruella and walked over to August, holding a knife against his throat. "Well, perhaps you could use a little incentive."
"Oh, that knife is not gonna make me remember something that I don't know." August scoffed.
"Wait." Regina sighed as then she used her magic to take the knife from Ursula for herself.
"Is there a problem?" Ursula looked up at Regina.
"I knew she'd never the stomach for this." Cruella comment.
"Please." Regina told her, darkly. "I was torturing people back when you were still playing with puppies. This sorry excuse for a man used to be made of wood. So let's light a fire under him and see what happens." Then she created a magic fireball in her hand.
Suddenly, August looked scared. "Okay. All right. You know something? I actually, uh, do remember something about The Author." Then Regina throw her fireball into the fireplace, lighting the fire. "Um..."
"Don't hold out on us." Ursula comment, looking at him.
"W-when I was in Hong Kong, uh, before the curse broke, I met a mystic." August began his story. "His name was The Dragon. I don't know how he knew about the book, but he had been looking for the Author for years."
"And what did this "dragon" learn?" Caitlynn looked at him, with a scoff on her face.
"He died before I could ask." August looked at her.
"Oh, well, that's something you two are about to have in common." Gold comment as then he stood up and walked towards him.
"And after he died..." August told him. "I took his research. And I brought it with me to Storybrooke."
"Do you really think this man-child is telling us the truth?" Maleficent asked to Gold.
"Well, it wouldn't be the first time he's lied to my face." Gold replied to her. "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pay a visit to his trailer to find out." Then he walked over to coat rack and took his jacket.
"While you're doing that, shall we carry on with the rest of the plan?" Ursula asked to him.
"Rest of the plan?" Regina looked surprised. "What aren't you telling me?"
"You're gonna have to do a lot more than just kidnap a marionette and torch a few logs for us to tell you everything." Gold replied to her. "In the meantime, be content that you've finally chosen the winning side."
Then, Regina walked over to the fire and stares at it for a few moments as Caitlynn looked at her suspicions, before smoke quickly begins to rise to the top of the chimney.

Sometime later, Regina, August, Cruella, Ursula, Caitlynn and Maleficent were still in Gold's cabin and they were waiting for Gold to return. Regina sits next to August as she has the page of her and Robin Hood in her hands, slowly unfolding it. "What's that... more kindling?" August sighed.
"This page appeared to someone very important to me." Regina replied to him as others looked curiously at her.
August looked at the page. "Robin Hood?"
