We pick up with the Evil Queen looking for Snow White in the past.
The Evil Queen argues with the townspeople that Snow White doesnt care about them, butshedoes.
The Queen spares Tinkerbell but warns her not to be meddling like this again.
And shell help him, but first, he needs to help her dig… more on that later.
At Snows house, everyone is admiring that incredible ring that Hook gave Emma.
Those shears that can separate you from your fate.
Girlfriend is that vicious.
Meanwhile at the docks, Hook takes a moment to say goodbye to Nemo before he sets sail.
He doesnt know what to do, but Nemo urges him to seek forgiveness.
Its never that easy, though.
Its why the Evil Queen nabs Henrys authorial pen that could write Regina out of history.
But in their back and forth, he makes a valid point… why keep going?
Nothing will ever make her happy.
That flashes us back to the Evil Queen and her father.
Thats exactly what the Queen wants because she plans on killing her… again.
But shes not interested in that… shes interested in her revenge.
Answer: as many times as complications will come between Emma and Hook.
In a twist, shes not upset with him for, you know, MURDER.
Shes upset because he was trying to burn the memory of the murder.
With that, shehands him back his ringbecause life isnt easy, yall.
Asking for a spot on his ship, Nemo welcomes him back on theNautilus.
So Regina allows it, and the Queen snips away their history before jumping into battle.
Shes convinced that Snow White is hiding in her castle, because of course she is.
Flashing back to the present, Regina and the Evil Queen are still in battle.
She chooses love over hate and combines their hate and love and splits it.
Hooray for Lana Parilla playing the same character in two outfits!
So they sit down, like two proper ladies, and talk about how to move forward.
Robin has been sent back to his land, where he wants to be.
She even apologizes to Regina that she didnt get to say goodbye.
Step one would be letting that Evil Queen hair loose and getting a less aggressive wardrobe.
Step two would be having Henry use his authorial pen to send her somewhere else.
They share a drink, and for now, the Evil Queen gets herself a happy ending.
She congratulates Hook without realizing that hes about to go all aboard on theNautilus.
The ship begins to submerge with Nemo and Hook on board because Gideon willed it to.
Why would he do that?
Because he has plans, presumably with Emma, that Hook cant be around for.
So there we are, guys.
Emma is in danger.
