Attendant Merlin talking to young Amber, "Leave the sword alone."
-Present- Storybrooke The Loft
I look at Excalibur, "He told me not to do this when I was little." Then I hear creepy voices telling me, "Now, you are a woman" and "Take the power."
I toss and turn in my sleep as the words repeat and repeat in unison, "Take the power. Take the power." As soon as the whispering stops, I open my eyes wide as I lay there in my bed, panting with sweat pouring down my face in little drops.
-Emma's House-
Regina, David, Mary Margaret, Michael and I all run over to Emma's house, "Emma!" David checks the basement and Regina volunteers to check the upstairs.
Michael and I stay near Mary Margaret, where we find Emma lying down on the couch with a magic blocking cuff on. Mary, "Emma. What happened?"
When Emma explains everything to us, I am the first to ask, "You turned Hook into a Dark One?" Emma, "It was the only way to save him." Regina, "You didn't think of the consequences to everyone else?"
Emma, "I couldn't just let him die, you can understand that" Regina then sighs, "Yes but now we have a bigger problem." Emma admits, "I didn't think any of this would happen. I was trying to get rid of the darkness for good. You can tell me, after all Zelena's done to you, your life wouldn't be easier if she were gone. I was doing you a favor."
Mary Margaret points out, "Come on, Emma. This is premeditated murder. There has to be another way. You should have come to us." Emma, "And risk losing someone else? I thought the best way to control the darkness was to isolate myself, but when I did that..." I finish it, "There was no one else around?" She nods her head, "No one around to give me hope or tell me when I was being stupid!"
Regina, "Fine. You're being stupid, so stop it. Right now, we have to clean up this mess" Mary Margaret, "No. We don't. Give us back our memories. Your dreamcatchers...Regina can access them, can't she? We can piece together Hook's plan and stop him."
David, "I'm afraid not. Dreamcatchers you said were in the shed...they're gone" Regina then asks the ultimate million dollar question, "What the hell is Captain Dark One up to?"
Emma, no longer being the Dark One, is now having a hard time gaining everyone's trust again- her parents, Henry, everyone... Henry runs upstairs and I say to Emma, "He needs some time, Em, but he'll come around again."
Belle, "We should really get to the library. We've got a lot to do." Regina is going to meet us there as she has a stop to make first. Emma, "I'm not invited?" Mary says to her daughter, "Emma, we love you" Emma, "You don't trust me." David, "We don't trust the darkness. Stay here and let us save you. It's for the best."
-The next day-
Emma, Henry, Michael, I, Mary Margaret, David, Regina and Robin all walk down Main Street in a hurried pace, trying to find Hook. David, "Emma, slow down. We need to talk about this. We need a plan."
Emma, "The plan is to find Hook before he resurrects all of the Dark Ones. You think dealing with one is bad" After Emma pitching an idea, her dad says, "You think you can talk him out of this?"
Regina, "There's no talking. We have to hit him with everything we've got" Mary Margaret, "It's not his fault that he didn't want to become the Dark One."
Emma, "He did because of me. None of that matters anymore, but Regina's right- we need to hit him with everything" Mary Margaret, "This is a man you loved." Emma, became very sad, "That man died back in Camelot. Now, all there is the Dark One. No matter how hard this may be, we need to split up, find him and stop him...no matter what it takes."
Zelena gives birth to her and Robin's baby. It is a girl. As day turns to night, Emma enters the Blanchard apartment where we all are. Mary Margaret was shocked, "You're going to hell?"
Emma, "The underworld" David, "That's quite a distinction" Emma, "I'm getting him back. This isn't fair to Killian. Gold tricked him. Everything he gave up was based on a lie."
I say to her, "You should go. For Killian." David, "Emma, you know how this works. It's a one for one trade. To get him back, someone else will have to die." I ask, "You mean, an exchange?"
Mary Margaret, "You just got back from being the Dark One. You can't give into the darkness again" Emma softly responds with, "I won't. I'm doing this right. I learned my lesson, and I am taking a page out of your book. You two share a heart, so will we."
Regina, "It could work" Emma, determined, "It will work" Robin, "Am I missing the obvious, but how does one get to the underworld?" We all then stand by the same lake where Charon appears, by the waters edge.
Emma, "Do it" Gold cuts his hand and he asks, "Are you sure about this?" She repeats herself, "Do it." He turns his hand so the blood drops into the water.
Fog appears and Charon appears. An invisible walk way in the water comes. Emma steps into it first, then Mary Margaret and David, then Michael and I, Regina, Robin, Henry and Gold follow into the boat. I can hear Emma whisper"Hook, I will find you. I will always find you."
