The geyser at Lake Nostos gradually subsided, leaving behind a small lake. Cora took out the vial of ashes
"And now, the ashes. Would you care to do the honours?" she asked Hook, offering him the vial
He took it and sprinkled the ashes into the lake. A whirlpool magically formed in the centre of the lake
"Here we go. We'll be in Storybrooke soon enough. I really look forward to seeing my daughter" Cora said, pulling out the compass "I told you I'd deliver you to Rumpelstiltskin. Now don't let go, unless you want to end up someplace that isn't Storybrooke" she instructed Hook as he grabbed the compass
The two of them were ready to jump when an arrow knocked the compass out of their hands. Mulan, Angie, Emma and Snow had seen the geyser and rushed towards it
"You're not going anywhere" Snow said
"That portal is taking us home" Emma added
Snow turned to her daughters "The compass, get it" she told them as she and Mulan approached Cora
"Find it first" Cora ordered Hook "I'll take care of them"
Cora shot a fireball towards the group, but Mulan deflected it with her sword. Emma and Angie drew their swords and started fighting with Hook over the compass. Cora continued to shoot fireballs at Mulan while Snow attempted to assist her by shooting arrows from a distance. Hook had managed to knock out Emma when Cora dodged Mulan's sword by magically disappearing, but the bag containing Aurora's heart was left behind and got hit, sending it flying towards the whirlpool. Just as it was about to hit the water, Hook reached the bag and tossed it to Mulan
At their shocked looks, Hook said "I may be a pirate, but I bristle at the thought of a woman losing her heart" he then looked at Angie "Unless it's over me"
"Go!" Angie told Mulan, who looked conflicted over what to do
"No, but you need the compass" she replied
"And Aurora needs her heart" Snow reminded her
Mulan walked over to Snow "Take it, it deflects her magic" she said, offering her her sword before leaving
"I had no idea you had such a soft side" Angie told Hook as they resumed their fight, Snow also facing Cora once more
"I don't. I just like a fair fight" he replied "Good form" he complimented her "but not good enough" he said, grabbing her leg with his hook, flipping her onto her back. He slowly slid his hook down Angie's sword until she was pinned to the ground "Normally, I prefer to do other more enjoyable activities with a woman on her back" he said "But with my life on the line, you've left me no choice. Bit of advice: when I jab you with my sword, you'll feel it. You might want to quit"
While he talked, Angie felt for the compass buried in the sand under her back
"Why would I do that, when I'm winning" Angie replied, showing him the compass and distracting him long enough to get back on her feet
When he blocked her next attack, Hook left himself unprotected for a punch "Thanks" Angie said, using the hand with which she was holding the compass to knock him out
Emma woke up then, as Angie approached her "Come on, let's go home"
