After the break, Snow stands, staring off into nothing. Emma is seated nearby her and says, "Mary Margaret, I'm sorry." Snow says she doesn't have to apologize. She's just worried about Henry. Emma says she is too, which is why she'll let Regina do what it takes. Snow says, "When we get to Henry I just want to make sure the line is still there." Emma asks what line she means. Snow says, "Between what Regina is willing to do and what you are." Emma says she's willing to do whatever it takes to get the kid home. Snow: "The cost can't be this family." Emma says it won't.
Regina and a now untied Devin approach. Regina asks if Emma is having second thoughts. Emma: "Let's get him that message." Smiling, Regina takes a compact mirror out of her pocket. She opens it and snaps it in two. "Oh, we're going to do more than that." Handing one half to Devin, she holds up the other to Snow and Emma. "We're going to see him." We cut to...
Deadman's Peak. Charming and Hook have finally reached the Dreamshade plant we saw, long ago and far away. Hook mumbles about letting Charming go first, since he's already dying of the stuff. Charming nods and takes the lead, but then draws his sword, pivots, and holds the tip to Hook's neck. He overheard Pan making the deal with Hook. Hook says if he heard it, Charming should know he didn't agree to it. Charming allows that, but points out he didn't disagree. Hook says Pan wanted to turn them against each other. Charming says it worked, and demands that Hook take him to the sextant, so they can get it back to his family. Hook comes clean. "My brother didn't lose his satchel up here. I made that up." He also planted the military insignia on the path. He had to lure Charming there under false pretenses, so that he could save his life. Although weakened, Charming tries to lunge at Hook, who easily knocks him down and out. We flash back to...
Neverland's past. Killian is fretting over an unconscious Liam when Pan appears and says, "I tried to warn you. He'll die as soon as the poison reaches his heart." Hook pleads with Pan to help him. Pan magically pushes back the Dreamshade to reveal a magical spring "...rich with the powers of Neverland." It's what keeps the inhabitants young. "If one was to drink directly from it, its powers could cure any ill." When Killian passes Pan to get the to spring, Pan lays a hand on his shoulder to stop him. "I must warn you, all magic comes with a price, and that spring is no exception. Don't leave the island, unless you're willing to pay it." Impetuous Killian says whatever Pan wants is his. He fills his canteen with water, and pours it down Liam's throat. The healing is instantaneous. Liam asks what happened. Killian says it doesn't matter. "Now let's pay the boy and go." He calls out, "Boy, what do you want? Boy?" But Peter is gone. We cut to...
