Mary is walking at the end of the Forbidden Forest when she saw the other side and there was the Enchanted Forest, still there.

"Now, It's time to find Hope."

"Is she going to be okay?" Emma asked as Cora stroked the back of Mary Margaret's head, and Hope who's still a Red Riding Hood, feels uncomfortable at Cora's presence.

"Oh, don't worry, she's going to be okay." Cora assured her.

"What is this place? Where are we?" Hope questioned, looking around.

"It's a little  🏝️ that our captors like to think as their haven, you witches and wizards know that right?"

"No."

"Oh."

"Haven? From what?" Emma asked.

"The world's dangerous. What's left of it anyway?" Cora asked herself.

"Well, they can't keep us down here forever." Hope said "We didn't do anything wrong."

"Neither did I."

"Then what are you doing here?" Hope questioned, curious.

"I'm here because of something my daughter did. The curse that ravaged this island, she cast it." Cora explained.

"Regina." Hope guessed the answer "You're Regina's mother?"

"Yes, but you've got nothing to fear from me. The apple fell very far from the tree. You're from over there, aren't you? How'd you get back?"

Mary Margaret woke up "Emma, no." Rose went towards her sister.

"Oh, Snow. You're awake. I'm so relieved."

Rose grabbed her niece and put Emma behind her, glaring at Cora "As bad as you think Regina is, this woman is much worse."

"Oh, Snow and Rose. Sweet, Snow and Rose, please, believe me. Whatever she told you, it isn't true." Cora coaxed "I just want to help you."

"Let me hear her out." Emma whispered.

"Emma," Mary Margaret snapped.

"Emma, if I were you, I'm not going to trust that woman." Hope whispered while glancing at Cora.

"Okay, right now, we are at the bottom of a hole with no other options and Henry is in StoryBrooke with Regina."

Cora was confused "Who's Henry?"

"He's my son. I kinda share him with Regina. It's complicated." Emma explained and Snow grabbed her.

"Don't talk to her!"

"Enough! Our leader requests an audience." A voice of a man said, flinging the rope down.

Emma turned to Snow "Why couldn't you have trusted me? I was just trying to find a way to get us home. I could've handled her."

Snow spoke up "Cora? Don't be so sure. Your Aunt and I live here, Emma. We know the world and it's dangers."

"Wait, here." The man said leaving.

"Is that why you came through the portal? Because you thought I was helpless here?" Emma questioned.

"No." Snow answered "I came through to be with you."
