Previously on
"once upon a time"...

-Come with me.
-Searching for werewolves?

Helping someone else
find their path

Will help you with yours.

You will see me again!

[ screams ]

Enjoy oz, witch.

Regina: What happened
between you and hades?

Zelena:
He fell in love with me.

Nice shot.

Snow: Red?



♪

Snow: Is she okay?

-Why is she down here?
-She's not --

No, she's still breathing.

Well, how long do you think
she'll be out?

I don't know. We hit her
with some strong stuff.

Where has she been since
she left storybrooke?

I don't know.
She went to find her pack.

Unless they're dead,

I'd say she's sniffing
in the wrong place.

Any explanation
for what she's doing here?

Just this.

♪

Over here. This way.



Right behind you.

[ sniffing ]

[ breathing heavily ]

What is it?

I lost the scent again.

Ruby, it's okay.
We'll find your pack.

That's what you said yesterday
and the day before.

It's late. Come on.

Tell me everything you know
about this land.

There's supposed to be
a lot of singing.

Singing?

Well,
there was in the movie.

I saw it in storybrooke.

I think
there was a book, too.

Ruby,
this isn't a book or a movie.

Well, whatever it is,

There's no trace
of my pack's scent.

I don't think they were
ever here to begin with.

Well, we better start
looking for a way back

To the enchanted forest.

[ sniffs ] wait.

[ creature snarling ]

[ dog whimpers ]

It's okay.
[ chuckles ]

I think I know
who this little guy is.

Toto?

Woman: I wouldn't do that
if I were you.

Toto only barks
for one reason --

When he has sniffed out
a witch.

Who is it?
Who's the witch?

He's not barking
because I'm a witch.

It's...

[ whimpers ]
ruby, it's okay.
You can tell her.

I'm...I'm part wolf.

But there's nothing
to be scared of.

See?

[ barking ]
wait, don't! Toto!

Why did you do that?

Toto.
-Well, let us help you.

You've done enough.

You're going
the wrong way.

Now you're an expert
on oz.

No.
But I can tell you...

[ sniffs ]

...He's headed northwest.

Straight into the wind.

Through a juniper field
into a valley of pines.

[ sword sheathes ]

Come on.

[ wind howling ]

No.

What is it?

The wicked witch.
Let's go.

♪

[ whoosh ]

Would you prefer I send you
chocolates next time?

If you're looking
for a thank you,

Maybe you should write your name
on the card next time.

I'm afraid I didn't come
to woo you, zelena.

I came to warn you.

About what?

You have a visitor
from oz.

What? Who?

Let's just say a werewolf
crash-landed here --

Feisty,
looks good in red.

Oh, no.

Oh, that's impossible,
not after what I did to her.

Must have been quite
[chuckles] well, wicked

For her to chase you
all the way down here.

Wicked doesn't begin
to describe it.

Whatever goodwill
I've earned with my sister

Will evaporate the minute
she learns the truth

Of what I did
to their friend.

I need to leave
before they find me.

The underworld?
Easier said than done.

Need I remind you
I'm very much alive.

And I have
my own way home.

And you daughter -- you're just
gonna leave her down here?

No,
she's why I'm leaving.

If I stay,
if I face that wolf,

I'm just gonna do something else
that I'll regret.

And then regina will never
let me see her again.

You certainly won't get
your daughter back by running.

Stay.

Face them.

[ chuckles lightly ]

Let me guess -- with you.

We make quite a team.

You can trust me, zelena.

I'll give you everything
you want.

Sorry, hades,

My time in the underworld
is over.

[ sighs ]

Do what you must.

But just know either way

I'm gonna take care
of that wolf.

[ exhales sharply ]

[ door closes ]

Stop torturing yourself,
belle.

No, I --
I gave gaston this book

To teach him
that a true hero

Needs to show his enemy
compassion.

Right?

But in the moment
that I could've shown him mercy,

What, I send him
to a fate worse than death.

Belle, you were trying
to protect our child.

Yeah,
and -- and you know,

If hades had actually
destroyed the contract,

Then maybe I could live
with what I did.

But he found a loophole,
and I darkened my soul, rumple,

Just --
just to save you.

And now we can free our child
from hades' grasp together.

No, I-I need to
make this right on my own.

I leave it up to you,

You'll just make me do
something else I'll regret.

The underworld?

I don't understand.

I used a tracking spell

So the cyclone
would bring me to zelena.

Ruby,
she's down here, too.

Wait, love, you came down here
looking for zelena?

Regina: [ sighs ]
why am I not surprised?

What did my sister do now?

It's my friend, dorothy.

Zelena wanted
her magic slippers

So that she could
get back to her baby.

Ruby, what did zelena do
to your friend?

That's why I'm here.
I don't know.

Dorothy went to face her
and just disappeared.

Mulan and I looked everywhere,
but we couldn't find her.

[ sighs ]
snow, this is all my fault.

None of this would have happened
if I hadn't show up in oz.

It's just one more life

That I have destroyed
because of what I am.

That is not true,
and you know it.

Ruby, we'll find out what
happened to dorothy. I promise.

Emma: There's only one way
we're gonna do that.

It's time to talk to zelena.

Regina: I'm coming.

I actually thought we were
getting somewhere with her.

David. Will you do something
while I'm gone?

Sure. What is it?

Well, we haven't --

Neal hasn't heard our voices
in days,

And I'm getting a little --
yeah, me too.

I'll call him
for the both of us.

Thank you.
Oh, take hook with you.

Streets aren't safe for anyone
to be alone right now.

Yeah, I'll be careful.

Believe me, I will tell neal
the reason why

His mother
is not on the line --

'cause she's out doing
what she does best,

Being a hero.

♪

Hook: Careful, lad. Hades
has eyes and ears everywhere.

We can't trust
anyone here.

Is the line
always this long?

It's not a line.
Something's wrong. Hey!

What do you think
you're doing?

What does it look like,
darling?

I'm fulfilling
my mayoral responsibilities

By supervising
some municipal improvements.

Get on with it, claude.
Rip it out.

No, no, no, no!

This is the only chance
these people have

To contact their loved ones.

Oh, you mean
it's your only opportunity

To reach out
and haunt your infant son.

Looks like chisel chin, jr.
Will just have to go to bed

Without what I can imagine

Are terribly dull
bedtime stories.

Cruella,
why are you doing this?

Is this because
I won't write you back to life?

No, henry darling.

I'm not the one that ordered

All the phones to be
ripped out down here.

Hades.

Well, with all you heroes
running around,

The place he feels
has a little too much hope

Bubbling up in his realm.

Well, you can tell him
it's gonna take a lot more

Than ripping out phones
to discourage us.

I will.

But in the meantime,
if you wanted to strike a deal,

I could look the other way
while you made one last call.

I'm assuming
I'd have the author and his pen

To write me back to life.

We're not making deals
with you.

[ exhales ]

Have it your way.

Do it, claude.

Ta-ta, darlings.

Zelena: I'll come back for you
when the time's right,

My little sweet pea.

But for now,
you're with the people

That can give you
what you need.

You're not
going anywhere, sis.

[ sighs ] how do you expect me
to become mother material

If you won't leave me be?

Well, we were planning on it
until someone you screwed over

Literally dropped
out of the sky.

What did you do
to dorothy?

Dorothy:
It touched down right here.

Toto? Toto!

There's nothing here.

Or here.
Toto.

Looking for me?

I see you picked up
a few strays while I was gone.

Watch it, zelena.

You really want to
mess with us again?

You know you're not welcome
in oz anymore.

You think I want to be
in this emerald-tinted dump?

I was banished here
by your friends.

I'm sure
they had good reason.

Of course. To keep me
from my newborn baby.

Right.

It's the truth.

You see, dorothy,
you may have the love of oz,

But I have something better --
the love of my child.

She needs her mommy,
so you're gonna take me

Straight back to her
right now.

Where are
my silver slippers?

You gave them to me,

And I'm not going to
give them back.

Well, then...

Maybe you'll think again

When you see who I found
sniffing through this rubble.

[ whimpers ]

Toto. Don't you --

Your mutt for the slippers.

You've got
until sundown tomorrow

To decide which you prefer.

[ laughs ]

Regina: Zelena, tell us
what you did to dorothy.

Fight your instincts
and help us.

It's the only way you'll ever
see your little girl again.

Trust me.

No.

I'm afraid I can't fix this.

Even I can't help dorothy now.

Why not?

[ sighs ]

You killed her?

Not quite.

I took a page out of your book,
regina.

Sleeping curse.

You need to wake her up.

That's what I'm trying
to tell you -- I can't.

Dorothy may have the love
of the people of oz,

But there's only one thing
that could help her now.

True love's kiss.

No family, unmarried,
unloved, all alone.

There's no one that can
give dorothy what she needs.

I'm afraid sometimes...

I'm just too clever.

It's a simple trade really.

The slippers for my daughter.
Regina: Really?

You think you're in a position
to bargain with your own child?

You trapped dorothy
in an unbreakable curse.

I'm sorry
if I'm good at what I do.

Stop hiding behind
all that bluster.

You're not proud --
you're caught.

Look.

I get it.

You did a terrible thing,
but just because

You made one bad move --

Or 30 --

Doesn't mean
you can't make a good one now.

Zelena.

You can
come back from this.

Trust me, I know.

[ chuckles lightly ]

Think so?

Well, there's only one way
to find out...

If you try.

[ sighs ]

Here.

You can keep
your pep talks.

I have no delusions
that anything will change.

Not you, not me.

I hope they wake her.

And if you need me,

I'll be right here.

♪

We have to do something.

Dorothy is all alone
back there.

She doesn't have anyone.

Not for long.

These can at least
get you back to oz.

How did you get her
to hand those over to you?

You're not going to believe me,
but all I did was ask.

What good are slippers
if there is no one back in oz

That can give dorothy
true love's kiss?

Are you sure
there isn't anyone?

Her family
was awful to her.

And the only person
that she has ever loved

Was her deceased aunt em.

She may still be here.

All we have to do
is find her.

Ruby: This is the best shot
we've got to get toto back.

Are you sure
it'll work on her?

[ sighs ] sleeping powder
knocked zelena out before.

It should again.

I just need one more ingredient
to give it its kick.

Poppies.

I know exactly
where we can get some.

I'm coming with you.
Mulan, keep the cauldron going.

I can handle myself.

I wasn't asking permission.

♪

[ owl hoots ]

Either you're still mad at me
or you don't like to talk.

You really want me
to answer that?

Toto's more than a pet,
isn't he?

You're right.

I don't like to talk.

Shouldn't I know
what we're fighting for?

Fine.

You want to know?

The first time I visited oz,
I was just a kid.

I wasn't here long,
but when I went back to kansas,

I told my family
what happened.

What?
They didn't believe you?

They tried
to have me committed.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

Showed me who
my real family was -- aunt em.

She believed me.

She kept me
from getting locked up.

Is she still
back in kansas?

She died
not long after that.

But just before she did,
she gave me toto.

He's all you have
left of her.

He's the only one
who understands me.

Don't worry.
We're gonna get him back.

You know, I understand
what it's like to feel

Like you don't belong
anywhere.

Really, wolfie?

Your family tried
to have you committed?

No, my entire village
ran me out of town.

Really?

With torches
and pitchforks.

Because you're a wolf?

I didn't always know
I was,

And I certainly
didn't back then.

I wasn't in control.

And one night,
I accidentally...

Killed my boyfriend.

Wow.

Yeah.

I lived on the run
after that, and...

I eventually learned
to control my power,

Made some friends
along the way.

I ended up in a town
called storybrooke, but...

I still felt like
there was something missing.

And you came to oz
looking for answers.

I came here
looking for my pack.

I thought maybe they were
what was missing, but...

After searching
for so long, I'm...

Not sure if they're
the answer anymore.

What are you looking for?

I'm not sure.

Well,
maybe that's the problem.

Come on.
Field's up ahead.

[ thunder rumbles ]

That's her.
That's auntie em.

It's not cracked or tipped.
She's still down here.

Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's find her.

It's not that simple.

If she's dead, she can't
just leave the underworld

To give dorothy
true love's kiss.

Maybe she doesn't have to.

The other day, the blind witch
bottled david's breath.

What?
Why would she do that?

Yeah, well, she roasted children
in her previous life.

Do we even want
the answer to that?

The point is maybe
we can do the same thing

With the kiss from aunt em.

Ruby could use the slippers
to deliver it dorothy in oz.

David: Snow! We've been looking
everywhere for you.

What is it?
Did you talk to neal?

Hades ripped out the phone.

He's cut us off
from storybrooke.

What? Why?

Snow, neal's fine.

Wait, no,
we don't know that.

I mean, maybe hades did this
for a reason.

Maybe he's gonna make a move
on storybrooke

Now that we're trapped
down here.

This is exactly what he wants --
for us all to lose hope.

Well, it's hard not to
when our child's life
might be in danger.

Mom, I think it's time.

For what?

For you to go home --
both of you.

We haven't completed
our mission.

We haven't defeated hades.

You've done more for me
than you know

And so many down here.

And I meant what I said --
we came because we wanted to.

Because I needed you.

Now your other kid
needs you more.

And storybrooke might, too.

Well, what about hades?

We don't even know
how to begin to fight him yet.

Well, we'll just have to find
a way to wage our war

Without the charmings.

But this is the underworld.
We can't just walk out.

You can with the slippers.

Go to oz with ruby.

Once you help dorothy,

You can click your way back
to storybrooke.

Mom, dad, you've done enough.

Go take care
of the rest of our family.

I'm gonna be okay.

Regina: You all
are forgetting something.

Hades carved snow's name
on a tombstone.

Emma,
you couldn't take it off.

Even with the slippers,
she can't leave.

I can't...

But you can.

♪

[ knock on door ]

Belle.
To what do I owe the honor?

Are you here to tear my
crying baby from my arms again?

I need your help.

[ scoffs ]

Please.
I'm asking you as a mother.

And what makes you think hades
would listen to me?

I know
that he's in love with you.

[ chuckles ]

My sister's got an even
bigger mouth than I thought.

Sorry, but hades
would never rip up

One of his precious contracts
even if I asked.

Please, zelena,
you know what it's like

To have to lose a child.

Why come to me when you've got
the dark one on your side.

Yeah, can't really trust him
right now.

So, you finally see the beast
behind the man.

[ chuckles ]
maybe you can understand

Why I'm not rushing to hades
with open arms.

Well, I don't think
it's because of me and rumple.

I think
it's because you're scared.

Of the lord of death?

[ laughs ]

Please.

I just know the truth.

I'm never going to get
my happy ending.

Not with hades, not with
my daughter, not with anyone.

How do you know that
if you haven't tried?

Oh, I have tried.

[ scoffs ]
look where I am.

[ chuckles ]
drinking with the bookworm.

Oh, come on.

If I disgust you that much,
maybe you should leave.

[ gulps ]

No.

No, it's, uh...

It's -- it's not that.

[ sniffs ]

It's just morning sickness.

You remember
what that's like.

[ scoffs ]
actually, I don't.

Not since the dark swan

Made sure my pregnancy
lasted all of 10 minutes.

Wait.

Hades, if -- if he decides
he wants my child now,

He could speed up
my pregnancy, too.

I'd love to say that he isn't
capable of such a thing,

But I can assure you
he is.

No.

And I -- I thought
that I had time on my side.

I guess I don't.

[ sighs ]

That's not
necessarily true.

There may be a way.

[ sighs ]

Anything?

Just that auntie em died
in kansas --

No details, not a clue.

I can't believe
it has to be me.

Snow should be home.

She should be with our boy.
She should be going.

She missed this time
with emma,

And now it's happening
all over again.

We shouldn't be here.

I didn't --

No, no, no, you're right.
You shouldn't be here.

I realized that I haven't
said it yet, but thank you.

I didn't want emma
to do this,

Let alone
drag everyone along.

Hey,
we made our own choices.

Really?
I didn't know you cared.

All right,
I did it for emma.

Ah, figured.

And I...[sighs]

...Guess you've grown on me
a bit.

-Hmm?
-[ chuckles ]

Well, I tend to have
that effect on people.

All right, don't push it.

Look, your name's
not on the headstone, mate.

You can go.

Ruby is your ticket
out of here.

You have to take it.

[ sighs ]

I wish
it didn't have to be like this,

But you're right.

I just hope
we can help ruby.

Dorothy: The poppy field.

This is zelena's territory.

We need to be careful.

I'm sorry.

For what?

Calling you "wolfie."

[ chuckles ]

If I had known --

No. It's okay.

I actually kind of like it.
[ chuckles ]

But I do think
it's only fair

That I get
to give you a nickname, too.

Really?

Really.

[ chuckles ]

How about "kansas"?

[ laughs ]

All right, wolfie,
kansas it is.

Careful.

One sniff of that,
and we'll be snoozing all night.

Thanks.

[ screeching ]

Zelena -- she found us.

There's more on the way.

We'll never outrun them.

Well, sure we can.

How?

Do you trust me?

Uh...

[ screeching continues ]

Yes.

♪

Oh.

[ screeching ]

♪

[ screeching ]

[ wolf howls ]

What happened?

Zelena.
We were almost monkey chow.

[ panting ]

[ whoosh ]

[ breathing heavily ]

Are you okay?

Dorothy?

Yeah,
I'm just...Tired.

Maybe it was
all the poppies.

I'm gonna get
some shut eye.

[ sniffing ]

Sorry, no dogs allowed.

No one talks to me like that
in my diner.

It's not yours, dear,
not yet.

There's a tombstone
in the cemetery -- emily brown.

Why don't you make this easy
and tell us where to find her?

What do I get out of it?

The wolf keeps her cloak on.

Unless you want to start putting
your customers on the menu.

Fine.

I know her.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

I hate that auntie em.

Why's that?

She's the competition.

Auntie em:
Welcome to auntie's.

The potpies are
my own family recipe,

But we do
a good roasted chicken, too.

Rotisserie --
any way you want.

But the soup,
well, the soup is to die for.

Unless you're already dead.

Then it's, uh --
well, you know what I mean.

We're trying
to help dorothy.

You know my dorothy?

Yes.

She's not down here,
is she?

No, she's alive,
but she needs your help.

She needs
true love's kiss.

All you need to do
is blow a kiss into the bottle.

Maybe helping dorothy
is your unfinished business.

Maybe that's why
you're down here.

Oh!

What? What?

[ bottle shatters ]
what's happening?

-Emma, what did you do?
-Can somebody help her?

-Emma.
-I didn't do anything.

No! No!

Somebody do something.

[ breathing heavily ]

What the hell was that?

I don't think
the soup agreed with her.

You did this.

Mm. Guilty.

[ silverware clatters ]

A little water
from the river of souls

Gives the soup
a little something...Special.

Why would you hurt her?
She was just a sweet old lady.

Mm.
Isn't it obvious?

Because you're trying
to help her.

And dorothy,

Who happens to be
zelena's sworn enemy.

Did she put you up
to this?

Trust me,
she has no idea I'm here.

This is about so much more
than just your sister.

Let's call it
a teachable moment.

You wouldn't be here
unless you were scared

We might actually win
this fight.

[ chuckles ]

Yes.

Is that so, savior?

Because I don't think
dorothy's dear old aunt

[chuckles]
would agree with you.

Citizens of the underworld,

From now on,
this is what happens

To anyone who deals
with these so-called heroes.

So, who's next in line
for their help?

Oh.

No? Mm.

It's hard to be a savior

When no on wants you
to save them.

[ crickets chirping ]

I gave the vial of powder
to dorothy.

We attack at first light.

Good.

Good.

That doesn't sound like
a very convincing battle cry.

Ruby, what's going on?

When we were on our trek,
dorothy asked me

What I've been looking for
this whole time.

And I told her
that didn't know.

Well, do you?

[ sighs ]

I think...

I think that...

I've been looking
for someone like her.

And I know we just met,

But I have never felt like this
about anyone before.

[ chuckles ]
that's great.

So, what's wrong?

You saw how she looked at me
when I transformed.

She could barely bring herself
to say anything.

Maybe she was feeling
exactly what you were.

Maybe she didn't know
how to put it into words.

Maybe she was
just freaked out.

Maybe it was
all too much for her.

Ruby.

Don't make
the same mistake I did.

Don't wait until it's too late
to tell someone how you feel.

[ sighs ]

You really think I should?

[ hinges creak ]

[ footsteps approach ]

There you are.
Hey, it's not safe here.

What are we gonna do now,
snow?

What we always do --
find a way to fix things.

But no one
can wake dorothy up now.

Well, I mean, I don't think
that's entirely true.

Well, who else can give her
true love's kiss?

I don't know.
I don't know.

Maybe...You.

What?

Ruby,
you're my best friend.

I know you.

And I see
how worried you are.

You can tell me.

You're right.

So, why are you
standing here?

Why aren't you
on the way to oz?

True love
is two-way street,

And dorothy I don't think
feels the same.

Why?
What makes you think that?

She kind of bailed on me
back in oz.

So?

Love's --
love's a funny thing.

When I met charming,
I hit him in the face.

People in love hurt each other
all the time.

Yeah, maybe.
Maybe.

Um...

But, uh, it's just...

[ sighs ]

I've never been so scared
about anything before.

That's a great sign
'cause love is freaking scary.

I'm about to say goodbye
to david

For what might be
a really, really long time.

And you know
why I'm okay with it?

Because what you get back
when you love someone

Far outweighs the risk.

All right,
I'll -- I'll try.

[ chuckles ]

Whew. Ready.

Put these one.

Think of where
you want to go.

Then click your heels
three times.

David, you should take her hand
and hold tight.

So, I guess
this is goodbye.

[ laughs ]

We have done this before,
we can do it again.

When you get home,
tell neal that I will be there

As fast as I can.

Well,
I was actually hoping

That you could
tell him that for me.

David,
you know I can't leave.

Now you can.

What?

I removed your name
from the headstone.

Regina:
Am I missing something?

Emma already tried that.

Yeah, and it didn't work.

Because you tried
to erase the names.

The rule down here
is simple --

A life for a life.

So, I traded mine for yours.

-David!
-No, no.

If one of us gets to go home
and see our son,

It should be you.

How did you know to do this?

Simple, love.

Hades overlooked
one thing during my escape --

He enchanted my hand

To carve these markers
in the first place.

I can't erase the names,
but I can change them.

Come on.
Our boy waits for you.

Um...
I was ready for you to go.

No, it's better this way.

You can look after him,
and if storybrooke's in trouble,

There's no better leader
than snow white.

You sure?

Go to our son.

Go home.

I'll be back
before you know it.

Mom, I'm not very good
at goodbyes.

I know.
It runs in the family.

Snow,
while you're up there,

Will look in on roland
for robin hood.

I know he'd want me
to ask you that.

Of course.
Tell him not to worry.

Ready?

Let's go find dorothy.

[ sighs ]

Hello, hades.

Zelena.

Well, you're the last person
I expected to show up here.

Little chat with the bookworm
made me realize...

Maybe I haven't given you
a fair chance.

Well, you're just in time
to see this.

Auntie em.
Freshly bottled today.

All that trouble to punish
one moldy old aunt.

Well, with the old lady gone,
dorothy has no one,

And I know how much
you hate that girl.

She came to my chamber.

She tried
to make me take a nap.

So I did something
much worse.

[ laughs ]

Dorothy's gonna be asleep
forever.

What do you get out of it?

[ chuckles lightly ]

Other than your happiness?

Hm, nothing.

Really?

[ chuckles lightly ]

This was all for me?

I know this is
hard for you to believe,

But that's why I did it --

To show you it's possible
to be selfless.

You're scared
I'm going to disappoint you,

Aren't you?

[ exhales sharply ]

Terrified.

[ chuckles lightly ]

I think that's a chance
I'm just going to have to take.

Let's start...

By toasting
to dorothy's eternal slumber.

♪

[ crickets chirping ]

[ growls, barks ]

What is it, toto?

[ growls ]

Ruby! Snow.

You found her.

I've been waiting
for you to get back.

She's under...

A sleeping curse,
I know.

Thank you
for taking care of her.

I've had some experience
with sort of thing.

♪

Ruby, you can do this.

Go.

Okay.

[ sighs ]

♪

[ inhales deeply ]

Wolfie?

Kansas.

[ barking ]

[ groans ]

You left
without saying anything.

I was afraid.

I couldn't lose you
to zelena.

Well, yeah,
but I almost lost you.

You didn't.

You came back for me.

I always will.

[ both chuckle ]

♪

[ chuckles ]

[ sighs ]

After what hades did,
we have to hit back and hard.

Aye, love, but how?

Grandpa.

I thought you'd like
to see the latest.

Grandma made it back
to storybrooke.

[ exhales sharply ]

Thanks, kid.

Now let's go figure out
how to join them.

What is it?

Snow -- she made it.

♪

[ door closes, bells jingle ]

Belle, where have you been?

Trying to find a way
to fix your mistake.

So have I.

Doing research --
this is gonna take some time.

Which is exactly
what we don't have.

Hades can take our baby
whenever he wants to

Just like emma did
to zelena.

Well,
I won't let that happen.

I can't take the chance
that you'll stop him in time,

Not when there's a way
that I cause pause everything --

Even my pregnancy.

Where did you get that?

From zelena,
but don't worry.

The sleeping curse,
it'll halt everything.

Ah!

I can prick my finger
quicker than you can stop me.

As long as I'm asleep,
hades can't take the baby,

And you'll have
all the time you need

To destroy the contract.

Belle, you're only
gonna make things worse.

I'm doing what I need to
to protect our child.

There's only one way
out of a sleeping curse --

True love's kiss.

I know.

You think
this is gonna force me

To become the man
you want me to be?

To go back to the light
just to wake you up?

My love, I already told you --
I'm not that man.

No. I know.

You're not the one
who's going to wake me, rumple.

My father is.

Oh, no, belle,
please don't -- don't --

After you destroy
the contract,

You do whatever it takes
to get me back to him.

No!

Oh, belle.

Belle.

Oh, no.

Belle, no.
