–[Fairy Tale Land – Present]–
(Emma, Mary Margaret, Mulan, and Aurora are walking back to the haven.)
Aurora: I don't know if I can do this. I'm not a very good liar.
MMB: Oh, it's not really a lie, Aurora. Lancelot did die an honorable death, and Cora did escape. All true.
Emma: Just leave the particulars to us. There's no reason to cause unnecessary panic amongst your people.
Aurora: I'm not so sure it's unnecessary-
(Mulan notices that the guard tower is empty.)
Mulan: Wait. The tower – we always have sentries guarding the entrance. Stay close.
(The four of them enter the area below the guard tower, where they find piles of corpses strewn across the field.)
Emma: Oh my God...
Mulan: This can't be... Our land... We were protected here – hidden. How did the ogres find us?
(Mary Margaret notices that the bodies have bloody chests.)
MMB: Ogres didn't do this.
Mulan: What?
MMB: Cora did. Their hearts... They were ripped out. This is her magic, twisted and evil. We have to stop her.
Mulan: Too late. She killed them. She killed them all.
MMB: Well, we have to stop her before she hurts anyone else!
Emma: Hey! Hey! Look!
(Emma rushes towards a stack of bodies and debris, under which she sees two hands waving.)
Aurora: There's two people under there.
(Aurora helps Emma free the people, who turn out to be Hook and Madeline.)
Aurora: They're alive.
Madeline: Please.
MMB: It's okay.
Hook: Please, help us.
MMB: It's okay. You're both safe now. We won't hurt you.
Madeline: Thank you. Thank you...
–[Storybrooke]–
(Outside of Granny's Diner, Dr. Whale approaches David.)
Dr. Whale: You – we need to talk.
(David punches him in the face.)
Dr. Whale: Ow! What the hell was that for?
David: Sleeping with my wife.
Dr. Whale: Kathryn?
David: Snow.
Dr. Whale: Look, I didn't know, alright? I was cursed.
David: Yeah, I got it. What do you want?
Dr. Whale: So... Is it true? People are saying that you're trying to find a way to build a portal back to your land because that's where you think Emma and Mary Margaret are – that they're alive.
David: Well, the whispers can stop. I have no secrets from this town. That's exactly what I'm doing.
Dr. Whale: But the land, it's... It's gone. Destroyed by the curse.
David: Apparently not.
Dr. Whale: Well, you having any luck?
David: Not yet. We're working on it.
