Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) still wrestles with his conscience about telling Emma (Jennifer Morrison) the truth and Nemo (Faran Thair) finds him at the docks. He tells Hook he needs to either tell her or suffer the guilt which can't be as hard, but still would be than actually not telling her. He might get forgiveness which is easier to live with. As he sees the past events in his dreamcatcher. Emma catches him trying to burn it and burn his memories along with it. She finds out what he did and he admits he was ashamed and he already hurt his family and he didn't want to do the same to hers. Not being able to sit across the table from them and conceal what he'd done. Emma would've preferred to know cos as she said before she doesn't want any secrets between them. Easier said than done. She returns him the ring until he decides what he wants to do. Emma having already told Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and the others about the ring too and being engaged.
The Evil Queen tells Robin (Sean Maguire) about herself and Regina (Lana Parilla) and he finds she too has a double like him. Well, yes but far worse. He wants to get out of here and head to New York and he thinks she should do the same. However she kidnaps him and uses him in her plan to get revenge on Regina once and for all. Also taking Henry's (Jared S Gilmore) quill pen so he can't write her into a happy ending or worse still, an ending befitting a villain. He doesn't know what he wanted to write but he wants the pen back. But she gives him a message for Regina instead. Regina wants to tell them about the Queen and she's decided on what she's go to do but Zelena (Rebecca Mader) notices the ring on Emma's finger detracting from Regina, who is truly happy for Emma. Yeah hugs and kisses all round. The message is a page from the book depicting Regina and Robin's happy ending.
Evils keeps Robin tied up until Regina shows up for their showdown. Then sends him away with a spell. During this there are flashbacks to that same village again when Regina was hunting Snow, who was always not within her reach. Her father tried to stop her but she wasn't listening to anyone and was hell bent on destroying Snow and anyone who got in her way and nothing could help. Not even Tinkerbell (Rose McIver). Yes Regina's fave word, "destroy" uttered five times in this ep alone!! He tells Regina he can help her and he says he's got her mother's spell book. Instead of a portal leading to darkness it's one of light and she senses Tinkerbell was at work here. He shows her Cupid's arrow and it can help the person she loves. Well that was only Daniel then and it won't exactly lead her to him. Regina had a thang for these outdoorsy types didn't she. First a stable hand and then a thief, not that there's anything wrong with a stable hand. Her heart wanted what her heart wanted.
Instead she uses the spell book for a spell of her own since the lines between love and hate are so close. She conjures up a spell which will lead her to the very thing she hates. She follows the arrow to her wardrobe and the mirror inside shows her the very thing she hates is herself. She breaks the mirror. No wonder she had untold bad luck and this was her comeuppance for sparing Tinkerbell's life, who told her she'd find true love with the tattooed man at the tavern.
Regina and the Evils Queen go head to head with swords in her office and finally Regina gets the better of her. Regina takes her heart and says she knows what she has to do, once again she sees her reflection in the mirror shards on the floor. She takes her own heart and combines it with love before putting it back in both their bodies, respectively. The Evil Queen is no more and apologizes for wrecking her furniture. She sent Robin back to where he would be happy. Regina calls quits on their battle and Evils decides she needs a fresh start which Henry will write for her.
She apologizes to Snow and everyone for the spell and Regina has information from her in trying to break the sleeping curse. As Henry writes her away to somewhere she can be happy, still referring to her as the Evil Queen. As well as well as calling her mother, twice and he's never done that before. Snow and Zelena aren't too happy about Evils being allowed just to vanish somewhere.
She ends up at that tavern again where Robin buys her a drink. Seems sad that she got Regina's happy ending with Robin even if she was her 'double' in the sense of being a part of her. Regina left alone once more, especially after Emma got her happy ending again with Hook - almost and she didn't bear any grudges against her.
Hook tells Nemo he's not going with him and will be sticking around after Snow talks to him about the engagement and is so happy for her. Emma deserves happiness and she also tells him about the Evil Queen being vanquished by Regina. As they get on the Nautilus, Gideon (Giles Matthey) appears and submerges the vessel since he can't them around, viz Hook, for what he's got in mind. Yeah as if Emma needs Hook around now to help her. Should've known he'd be around since he was mentioned this episode. Still up to his no good tricks again even after Rumples told him last ep he didn't want to be dark like him.
Turns out that page was mostly about Evils and Robin, at least it appeared to be, or maybe just Regina giving away her happy ending since she couldn't have it with her real Robin and being selfless. As for Page 23, thought we were back in Alias territory again what with their Page 47 ep title! ha.
