Operation Mongoose goes the route of a reversal of Once Upon A Time, after the opening, we get to see the ending, or rather variations on happy endings. Regina (Lana Parilla) takes Zelena (Rebecca Mader) to the hospital and locks her up there, presumably she takes away her necklace so she can't use magic, or is she still able to do that. Anyway after Issac (Patrick Fischler) vanishes he writes a new book for Gold/Rumples (Robert Carlyle) with Gold being the author, more than Issac. Entitled Heroes and Villains where all is reversed. Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) now becomes the Evil Queen with David (Josh Dallas) as her huntsman and Regina is Snow. That was a turnaround, didn't think we'd see Regina becoming a bandit. Hence her moniker of 'Bandit Queen.'
Henry (Jared S Gilmore) finds he's the only one left in Storybrooke and takes Regina's car to the next town where no one's seen his family, but he chances upon Issac's book, now Henry did you pay for that book? Ha. He ends up at a book signing with Issac and he wants to lock him back inside the book unless he's open with him. Which he isn't, it's his book he says and so Henry takes the original book and uses the key to get inside, bringing Issac with him. Issac however ties him to the cart for an ogre to kill him. Cue Rumples as knight come to save the day and Henry. Leaving Henry free to find Regina. She doesn't believe he's her son and burns the book, knew she'd do that, with Henry saving a page from it, so what page did he manage to save, I'd like to have known. Regina apparently is going to rob a tax collector's carriage and Henry tells her that her happy ending is with Robin Hood (Sean Maguire) who is her rival.
Issac slimily is caught and brought before Snow who is about to kill him before he tells about Henry, as well as telling her that her true love was James since he was just like her. Regina sets off to meet the carriage, only Snow surprises her and Robin manages to save her. Taking her to the tavern where she meets Zelena who's going to be his bride later in the afternoon. She pays him for his troubles, but certainly doesn't want to attend the wedding, she's leaving the kingdom. Henry stops her again and tells her she can save the day by stopping the wedding, or rather with the help of he Saviour. Regina tells him the Saviour is in the tower and is locked up there. Thus he needs to secure passage on a ship which he thinks belongs to Hook (Colin O'Donoghue). In actual fact he's just a deckhand and doesn't have an ounce of courage or daring do at this point, in this book. It appears he's neither a hero nor a villain.
Henry takes care of Blackbeard (Charles Mesure) and Hook can now take the ship to the tower, which is guarded by a black knight. Henry rescues Emma (Jennifer Morrison) who knew he'd come and they head back to stop the wedding, so Regina can have her true love and with true love's kiss, they can end it all. However the black knight is none other than Lily who follows them and is conked out by a cannonball. Emma teaches Hook to sword fight but it's a little too late, as he does manage to defeat David, but turns his back on him and is stabbed from behind, as Emma and Henry escape to find Regina. Begging the question of why Regina was still around after Henry rescued Emma and made it back to shore.
She doesn't believe she can stop the wedding but they convince her to try. Gold learns of them trying to change things and he doesn't want his happy ending to be spoiled. He is married to Belle (Emily de Ravin) and they have a son together. So he attempts to stop them. We even get the chipped cup in this story which Belle says can be easily fixed. Not so it seems, that was just like a metaphor for 'if anything can go wrong it will and always does'. Gold gets to fight Henry and Emma but Regina doesn't stop the wedding, choosing instead to save Henry. She's stabbed and Issac tries to write her out, but Henry grabs the quill and Emma is able to use Regina's blood since it's good and is light magic to write a different ending.
As they return to Storybrooke and everyone wakes up. Emma looks fir Hook and thinks he's not around but he still is. She tries to tell him she loves him, which she told Regina she couldn't do as she was afraid and still doesn't do it. Belle finds Gold passed out and David stops Issac from leaving in Hold's car. He needs to be prevent his heart from turning black, Belle tells Rumples she loved him and he threw it all away. He says he didn't believe they could be happy. Henry is the new author now but he needs to be careful about what he writes. The sorcerer's apprentice tells him he can't write his father back since he died in the real world. Hook came back cos his death was only fiction and just as well he did otherwise there'd be uproar!! And not just from me! Ha.
They try to use the hat and the sorcerer's apprentice attempts to take Gold's heart and put it through the hat. The darkness needs a new host body and returns from the hat into the apprentice, then leaves through the letterbox. The apprentice tells them that Merlin is the only one who can stop it, so it's on a quest to find Merlin now. Emma tells David and Snow she spent to much time holding grudges against them and she needs for Regina to have her happy ending, as he takes the darkness into herself. They stopped her from becoming dark before and now they'll have to do the same.
