Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Charming (Josh Dallas) hate having to keep waking up and falling asleep for each other to be awake, as Regina (Lana Parilla) shows Emma (Jennifer Morrison) the book and what was said about Henry (Jared S Gilmore) last ep. She thinks they should head to the library to check it out whilst she realizes she'll be the one facing the final battle alone; her tremors begin again. Snow and Charming both want to be here for her final battle and help her but they know they need to defeat the curse to do this.
The Curse Before it was Broken shows Mary Margaret heading for the hospital with a sunflower, obviously for David and she says hello to people along the way like Granny (Beverley Elliott) and Archie (Raphael Sbarge) who are all grouchy. Before bumping into Regina. Wrecking her flower. Snow then spots a pink flower growing by the side of the road and picks that for David instead, leaving it by his bedside and walking away, the pollen from the flower touches his hand and he wakes up. Breaking the curse. He recalls who he is and who Snow is and she finally remembers with the use of the flower too. As they leave the hospital, Regina shows up asking where he is. Snow agrees to meet with him at an abandoned cottage as she's got to put Regina off the scent, telling her she saw him head towards the woods.
Regina calls a search and thinks something's amiss with Snow and tests her by preparing to detonate the explosives in the mine. Snow gets ready to stop her with a par of scissors as she thinks Snow is a hero and would save everyone. But the others show up and Archie comes out of the mine. In the chaos Snow runs away and meets David. They decide they must find Emma and the only one who can do this is Rumples (Robert Carlyle) (a la wig! ha.) David heads there and he claims he doesn't recall anything but hearing the name Emma he seems to be lifted from his bout of forgetfulness. He says they can't get to Emma since she isn't 28 yet and won't become the Saviour if they interfere in her life. He gives them a potion to make them forget until the time's right and they see Emma through a portal.
Snow agrees with Rumples, that they can't interfere cos it's not just about them and their family. The others in the town also have families and hey can't be selfish, so they close the portal. Back in present Storybrooke Regina tries to find a spell to break the sleeping curse and comes up with one by putting both their hearts into the potion with Zelena's (Rebecca Mader) help, however it only makes Snow weaker and she will be asleep by the end of the day. David awakes and says that Snow found a cure to he curse but didn't realize it showing Regina the photo of the flower on her phone. It's a pixie flower and blooms when there is severe evil in town, i.e. the Black Fairy (Jamie Murray). Thus they search for one.
The Black Fairy surprises Rumples telling him he'll come back to the family when he's ready and she won't force him. Gideon (Giles Matthey) saying that she's his mother and he won't come and join Belle (Emilie de Ravin) and Rumles. Also telling Emma that she'll face the final battle with her, it's her destiny, but that won't be yet. When she and Snow find the flowers in the woods, an abundance of them. The Black Fairy gets Gideon to destroy them and they're too late. Well if they hadn't stood around gabbing so much! Just when all else seems lost they find a solitary flower and Regina makes a potion from it. It should be enough to help them both beat the curse.
Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) is rescued by Tiger Lily (Sara Tomko) on Neverland and she takes him hostage. He pleads he needs to get back to the woman he loves and she finds it funny, that a pirate should be in love. He tells her he needs to help her and she says he has a ship and needs to get the wand to the Saviour to help in her battle. The wand forms part of a larger one. When she realizes Emma and the Saviour are one and the same, she releases him. The Lost Boys are even more violent now after losing Pan. But she says there should be some of Pan's magic he can use to get back. He manages to use the magic to make a shadow of himself, as he's about to fly off he's caught again, as is Tiger Lily. She was the fairy who was meant to help with the Black Fairy but failed. Hook tells her if he got a second chance then so can she. As he gives the wand to his shadow and tells it to fly. The shadow reaches Storybrooke as Snow is about to take the potion, but she stops. The shadow has Hook's hook and gives her the wand, as well as touching her face.
Snow says she must get Hook back since she deserves her happiness cos he should be by her side even if they can't. Giving her the potion to locate Hook and through the portal she rescues him and Tiger Lily escapes. He's not here for long he tells her but he proposes to her again saying he should have stuck around instead of running off. She accepts and Snow falls asleep.
Regina thinks the rest of the town should share in their curse and perhaps they will make them come out of it, as Snow and Charming were selfless in not thinking of their family. She takes a sip, as does Hook, Emma and Henry, before everyone else does the same. Where was Belle. Snow and Charming wake up, as do the towns people. The Black Fairy says the same to Rumples about joining her when he's ready. But he tells her he knows Gideon isn't loyal to her, she might have his heart and he will get it back, but he left a flower for Emma and she doesn't have his loyalty and he gets that from his mother. Which infuriates her.
So how long is this showdown going to take to get here cos we just seem to be getting endless flashbacks and some of them are even flashbacks of flashbacks! Ha. Wouldn't really have expected Charming to be so forgiving of what Hook did to his father even f it was a long time ago and he has changed. Especially considering he was so determined to find out what happened to his father after getting the coin and being told he was murdered. Well it was Hook, so that's okay then. Anyone else he wouldn't have been so forgiving of since he was always so gung ho in doing the right thing, as well as in exacting revenge. As he very readily picked up the sword in Rumple's shop to make him remember who he is during the days of the curse.
It was this easy to break the sleeping curse and yet Regina just seemed to struggle with it as much and the use of the pixie flower appearing was timely. How come Snow didn't recall it before now if it can reunite true love. How come Rumples always manages to 'lose' his dagger and someone always ends up with it so easily.
