This begins with a foreshadowing of events to come as Jafar (Oded Fehr) hunts down a man and obliterates him and later sets his sights on Aladdin (Deniz Akdeniz) who's also the Saviour.  Jafar taunts him saying he's not a hero, only a common thief but someone who's lost his reason for being.

Present Storybrooke as Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) can't keep their hands off each other.  The house shakes and it turns out to be the ship carrying the refuges from the Land of Untold Stories.  Appropriate name and they were refugees as they didn't really have a story to take refuge in and live as they should.  Emma helps look through the wreckage but her hand shakes. She hides it from Hook and Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin).  Yet another storyline all about her just like last season.

Hyde (Sam Witwer) is leading Rumples (Robert Caryle) a merry dance as he sends him to the Temple of Morpheus (Giles Matthey).  Regina (Lana Parilla) seals her crypt with a blood spell so that Hyde can't get to the Evil Queen and Regain and Emma think they can bribe Jekyll (Hank Harris) to leave Storybrooke.  Emma is meant to shoot Hyde but her hand trembles and she can't go through with it. Even if it won't affect him at all but she manages and they lock him up.  Later he tells her he knows why she's suffering in that way.  He had an answer for everything but they couldn't do anything with his character.  He tells Emma to follow the red bird who turns out to be the Oracle.Jordan Ashley Olson).

Zelena (Rebecca Mader) stays with Regina and is in the process of unpacking when she tells Regina about a gift she had for her, a feather from Robin but she can't find it.  Yeah since when was Zelena ever absent minded, it wouldn't help her be wicked.  She's also upset that she spoke to Snow but not her and just got rid of her dark self.  It's not like she could talk to her as she was once wicked herself and wouldn't really have given her any objective advice.  A point proved when she joins up with the Evil Queen.  Emma's hand starts to shake again and she tells Hook she needs to be alone. She finds the bird and follows it, then it's revealed the visions are of Emma's own future.  She will battle the cloaked figure and end up dying.

Henry (Jared S Gilmore) tells Regina she can't be down and let Hyde get to her.  She's upset about the feather and also tells this to Snow, with the feather falling down on the bench where they sit. Rumples finds Morpheus at the temple and a sleeping Belle (Emilie de Ravin) and Morpheus makes her dream. Morpheus is their son from the future and he wakes Belle with true love's kiss.  He doesn't want her to go back to him.  Belle agrees and tells Rymples it's over for the countless time!  Hyde tells Emma the figure might already be here or even someone she's known for a long time.  Now who could that be considering there aren't many options right now.  Unless it's someone from the Land of Untold Stories, or another long lost relative.  So what happened to Maleficent and her daughter.

Once again Emma keeps the real reason for her trembling from Hook, so much for no more secrets. As well as Zelena finding out the Evil Queen is alive and lurking.  Obviously having repercussions for Regina who'll realize it wasn't easy defeating the darkness within her.  Instead of keeping it checked inside of her, she unleashed it to cause more problems for herself and everyone else. Sometimes it's better to keep your troubles to yourself but not always, as Emma will eventually reveal her secret, or have it revealed for her, always happens.
