Charming's Timeline. Charming runs up some stairs and then leaps down onto the dragon's neck.
Emma's Timeline. Emma peeks out from her hiding place, just in time to watch the floor collapse beneath the dragon's feet.
Charming's Timeline. He's still riding the dragon. He yells as tries to shove the magic containing egg into the dragon's... um... gills? The dragon shrieks and raises its head. Charming is thrown to the floor.
Emma's Timeline. Cautiously, Emma makes her way to the crater in the floor. When she looks down below, a cloud of dust blocks her view.
Charming's Timeline -- oh hell's bells. I know this is a recap and it should be long and detailed but I cannot keep jumping back and forth, like this. Eventually Charming gets the egg inside the Dragon's gills and forces it down into the literal belly of the beast. Charming jumps right through Maleficent's stained glass window and lands in the water, far below. When he looks up, the dragon sticks her head out the broken window and breathes some more fire like you do. Charming smiles.
Emma's Timeline. Eventually, the dragon flies back up to Emma's level, which knocks Emma on her ass. Fortunately, her jeans are so tight they protect her from serious injury. We cut to...
Storybrooke Hospital. Mary Margaret is reading to a still-unconscious Henry and of course she's reading Snow White's story. "And yes, she was beyond hope -- beyond saving. This was her end. When Prince Charming saw his beloved Snow White in her glass coffin, he knew all that was left was to say goodbye. He had to give her one last kiss and when he did, true love proved more powerful than any curse. A pulse of pure love shuddered out and engulfed the land, waking up Snow White and bringing light to the darkness." Mary takes a second to blink back her tears, then closes the book and looks down at Henry. "Henry, when I gave you this book, it was because I knew... I know life doesn't always have a happy ending, but I thought..." Just then, the alarm on Henry's monitor begins to sound. Mary screams for Dr. Whale. He and Nurse Mother Superior Blue Boobs enter the room. Whale orders Mary out of the room and says Henry's heart rate is falling. One nurse ventilates him, while another performs chest compressions. We cut to the hallway and watch a male form in an orderly's uniform make its way to an electronically locked exit door. He punches in the security code and enters (or exits, well, you know what I mean -- he goes through it).
