The one about Aladdin (Deniz Akdeniz) and his backstory: he's a street rat and he's a thief but with some redeeming qualities since he's a a Saviour and realized by Jasmine (Karen Shenaz david) he has magic, which she already knew when she confronts him in the market with a trinket of the royal scarab. As she wants his help in locating the "diamond in the rough." Threatening him with consequences of facing up to being a thief if he doesn't help. Where Jafar (Oded Fehr) also makes another appearance giving him an opportunity to sever Aladdin's magic and no longer be the Saviour and thus face certain death. The same fate that awaits Emma (Jennifer Morrison) in her visions of the future. He gives him the shears belonging to the Fates. Which will remove his magic and when they find the diamond Jasmine tells him he's the diamond in the rough as he stops the ceiling from collapsing.
Aladdin has to rescue her from Jafar as she threatens treason against the Vizar and he swoops in on his magic carpet to save her and her father the Sultan (Cedric De Souza) who's spell on him is removed since he was sitting around playing with toy castles. Jasmine comes across as someone who's led a sheltered royal life and Shireen, the teacher's aide isn't much of a heroine. So she has her own flaws too including being afraid to explore "a whole new world" (had to get that in) outside of the palace and her kingdom. Choosing not to go with Aladdin even though she is falling for him. However she's accused of killing the Oracle that Emma had been seeing and this transpires into her search for Aladdin and Emma finding out he was also a Saviour. So if they find him she can find out how to save herself. Not realizing that in actual fact he used the shears after all. A life without magic and helping people was much easier than death itself.
As Jasmine thinks he's dead, he reveals himself to Emma after he hears the heart to heart she has with Henry (Jared Gilmore) when he tells her of how he found her and made her come here. Also owning up to Jasmine and confronting her. As for Emma's visions he thinks it's the Evil Queen (Lana Parilla) but surely if it was her, she'd have just taken care of her right here and now instead of in the future. There's nothing stopping her as she keeps getting one over on them all the time. Clearly this Grim Reaper is someone else, someone we haven't encountered before or someone who's not so likely in our thoughts yet.
