They were trying to wake Henry up, but it just didn't work.

"Oh, God. Is he unconscious?"

"Henry, can you hear us?"

"He passed out as soon as his heart went into Pan."

"Is he breathing?"

"Just hang in there, buddy."

"What the hell'd you do to him?" Emma stood up and turned around to face Pan.

"Oh, I didn't do anything, Emma. It was Henry. He offered me his heart of his own free will." Pan replied to her.

"I'm gonna take it back from you." Emma countered as she lunged for him, but he disappeared.

Pan appeared behind her and grabbed the Pandora's box. "I don't think you have it in you." Emma turned to face him. "Rumpelstiltskin didn't." He tossed the box in his hands. "Why should you?"

Caitlynn stood up as well and looked at Pan. "Where the hell is he?" She snarled.

"What did you do?" Neal asked to Pan.

"Why, he's right in this box, safe and sound and out of the way. Unfortunately for you, he can't hurt me anymore. And neither can you." Pan replied to them, holding the box up.

"Really?" Emma asked as then she lunged forwards and nicked him. "How did that feel?"

"Like a tickle." Pan replied as then he fly up and then he fly's away from there.

"How is he?" Emma asked to Regina.

"You're gonna be all right, Henry. We're gonna get you home." Regina didn't answer her as he told to her son. Then she put a spell on Henry. "This preservation spell can keep him in this condition for a while longer. Buy us time to get to Pan."

"You were a lost boy. Any idea where he went?" Emma looked at Neal.

"Well, I mean, I know where he lived, where his compound." He replied to her.

"Well, that's idiotic." Regina comment. "We all know that. You think he's stupid enough to go back? You're useless."

"Okay, enough." Caitlynn rubbed her forehead.

"Don't tell me what's enough. My son is dying!" Regina pointed at Henry.

"Our son." Emma told her softly. "So yes, I know how you feel."

"You have no idea what I feel. You have your parents. You have this person, a pirate who pines for you. You have everything, and yet you claim to know what I feel? All I have is Henry, and I am not about to lose him, because he is everything." Regina told to her as then her voice started to break.

"You're right. I don't know what you feel. So what do you wanna do?" Emma looked at Regina. "You wanna the run show? Run it. How do we save Henry?"

"I don't know." Regina looked at her.

"Even if we can find Pan, he was powerful before." Neal told to them. "With Henry's heart, I don't know if we can hurt him."

"Yes, we can. Look." Regina pointed at Emma's sword. "You nicked him. If he can bleed, we can hurt him. And if we can hurt him, we can kill him. And we will."

Back in Pan's camp, they laid Henry on a cot as Regina sat next to him.

"Gold is in a box? Then David can never leave the island." Mary Margaret looked worried.

"Mary Margaret, that doesn't matter. I've already made peace with that. What matters is Henry." David told to his wife as then he looked at Regina. "How much time do we have?"
