The heroes and the former villains come across a small grovel. It's awfully Hobbit like and looks abandoned. A rope sits on the side of a hatch, and the men pull it to open it. They pile into the grovel one by one to try and find out how Neal escaped from the island. They see writings along the walls, indicating just how long he was stuck here.

Emma grabs a coconut shell. She plays with it. She toys around with the hard shell, and an idea sparks in her mind. She lights a candle and places it inside the shell. She closes it, and suddenly the room is illuminated with light. The candle light reveals the map hidden inside the shell.

They finally have the way to go home. But the hard part still remains. They still must save Henry.

The group leaves the grovel and continues their journey. As they walk through the vast jungle, they manage to find the rest of the residents of Storybrooke who traveled to Neverland, and someone who they thought was dead.

"Well, if this is your version of a rescue party, we got here just in time", Regina quips.

" Well, isn't this a nice family reunion", Killian says,

" What are you doing here?"  Mary asks.

" You didn't tell me my father was with them", Neal whispers.

" I didn't know" Emma says.

" Wait, your father is the Dark One?", Tink asks.

" And his half-sister is the product of great darkness," Scarlett adds.

" Yeah, and he's not getting anywhere near Henry", Neal says.

" Bae...", Gold says.

" Why? What are you talking about?" Emma asks.

" There's a prophecy that says that Henry will be his undoing. He didn't come here to protect him. He came here to kill him", Neal says.

" That's why you didn't want to find Neal before you got Henry back? Because you knew he'd spill your secret", Regina says.

" Everything I did was to protect Henry, to rescue him from Pan", Gold says.

" It all makes sense. You left before we ever made shore", Emma says.

" You wanted to get to Henry first...", Mary says.

" To be on his own...", David says.

" So no one could stop you...", Killian says.

" So you can kill him", Scarlett says.

By now, they all have their weapons drawn at the Dark One.

" There's no way in hell he would do that. Henry is his grandson, he would never hurt family," Scarlett says.

" Love, get over here", Killian says.

" No. I'm trying to tell you that my father would never kill Henry", She says.

" He's got you blinded like the rest. Scarlett, the Crocodile is lying", He says.

" That Crocodile is my father, weather you like it or not! Now, the more time we spend arguing, the less time we have to rescue Henry. So, put your weapons down."

Nobody listens. Scarlett rolls her eyes and waves her hand to use her powers so their weapons fly out of their hands.

"Thank you, sweetheart... but they're right", Gold says.

Scarlett turns around and faces her father in disbelief.

" You... you really were going to kill Henry?" She asks.

He nods.

Scarlett walks over to Killian who wraps his hooked arm around her waist and pulls her close.

They work together and devise a plan. They find the campsite of the lost boys and hide behind some bushes.

"You remember the spell?" Gold asks.

Scarlett side eyes him and gives him a look that can only be translated as 'bitch-please'. She waves her hands from behind the bush, and all the Lost Boys fall to the ground. The Storybrooke group is quick to explore the camp, but don't find what they're looking for.
