Arthur moved to strike at Hook, when Emma and Caitlynn appeared as then Emma was blocking his sword with Excalibur. Arthur looked at her. "Excalibur." He was breathing shallowly. "It's whole."

"Yes, it is." Emma told him. "But it's not going to help you." She put away her sword. "This sword doesn't control anyone now."

Just then, Caitlynn throws Arthur against a tree. "Dumb ass."

Hook was breathing heavily. "I suppose I should say thank you."

"You don't need to say anything." Emma looked at him. "Just don't do that again."

Hook looked at Emma. "I should apologize for what I said that day aboard my ship."

Emma raised an eyebrow. "For when you refused to accept me or when you said you did not love me?"

"It's a bit more complicated than that." Hook sighed.

Emma looked disappointed. "Doesn't matter. I'm the Dark One."

Caitlynn looked at them, but didn't say anything yet as Hook comment. "You're more than the Dark One. You're still you. You saved me. That was Emma."

"Emma was always Emma, dumb ass." Caitlynn muttered as she moved over to her sister.

Emma looked at him. "What do you want from me?"

"I want to help you." Hook replied to her. "And I need your help to do it. Who is Nimue, and how can she defeat the darkness?"

"I still don't like him." Caitlynn muttered to her sister.

"Don't care." Emma muttered back as then she replied to Hook. "Nimue doesn't matter anymore. This will all be over tomorrow."

Hook looked confused. "What will be over? And why do you need that damned sword? Ah. All this power, and you don't even have the courage to answer one simple bloody question. Why do you need Excalibur? I know you're still in there, Emma, and I know that despite everything, you always have your reasons!"

"You're right! I do!" Emma shouted angry. "You want to know why I'm doing all of this? I'm doing it for you." Hook was confused as a donkey.

Caitlynn, Jackson, Aubrey, Granny and Henry were waiting for Emma and the others come back, but then only Emma came back as Henry asked to her. "Mom, did you do it? Did you find the Spark of..."

Emma interrupted her son. "Prometheus, yes." She nodded. "Now we can use it to fix Excalibur."

Granny walked towards them. "Finally, some good news."

"That's great, Mom." Henry smiled at his mother. "Let's get that darkness out of you."

"Yes, let's." Emma nodded at them she noticed that the others weren't there. "Where's the sword?"

"I don't know." Henry shrugged. "No one's come back with it."

"Really?" Emma asked confused as Caitlynn nodded. "They should've been back hours ago. Have you seen Merlin?"

"He was with you, sis." Caitlynn replied to her.

"I thought he was with you." Henry added.

Emma was confused. "He was, but then he vanished. Something's wrong. I don't think we're safe here anymore. Granny, let's close up shop."

Just then, Jonathon appeared as Jackson told them. "Some of us need to stay here."

"What are you doing here?" Caitlynn looked at Jonathon.
