As Charming and Snow walk along the shore, she asks how he managed to do it. He shows her his mother's ring and says it led him back to her. "Now, I never want it off your finger." He drops to one knee and proposes. Snow holds out her hand. He slips it on. She looks at the stone and says, "What do you think?" They kiss, but when they part, Charming can see Snow looks upset so he asks her what's wrong. She says it's the little matter of his father and her step-mother. She says they should take back the kingdom. Charming asks her how. Snow: "Like we shall do everything... together."
Storybrooke, Day. David stares at the clock tower, It's just about 7:00 AM as far as I can tell, but knowing the timeline shouldn't it be 8:00 AM? Whatever. He gets in his truck and drives off.
Inside the library, Emma hugs the magic containing egg as the elevator lifts her back up. Suddenly, it jolts to a stop. Emma yells out for Regina, but Gold appears at the top of the shaft. He says he came to check on her and is glad he did because Regina has abandoned her and sabotaged the elevator. Since the top of the elevator is open, Emma says she's climbing out. Gold tells her there's no way to scale the shaft while carrying the egg. Emma says she can try, but Gold tells her to toss it up and promises her boy will be fine. Emma trusts him and throws him the egg, then climbs the cable to the top. I'd be stuck in that elevator for the rest of my days -- if I had to rely on my rope-climbing prowess. Not Emma, though. Maybe rope climbing is her real superpower and the lie detection gift was misdirection.
At the top, Emma finds Regina bound and gagged. She takes the duct tape off Regina's mouth, which is rather gallant of her if you ask me. This is why I'm not a savior. I'd be running around duct taping as many mouths as I could. Anyhow, Regina chastises Emma for trusting Gold -- who has now run off with the egg -- and blathers that he manipulated them all. When Emma finally has Regina free they set out in search of him, but stop when their cell phones ring. It's the hospital. We cut to...
Storybrooke Hospital. The mothers run to their boy and are met by Dr. Whale and Nurse Mother Superior Blue Boobs who say they did everything they could, but it's too late. Emma enters Henry's room first. Another nurse shuts off his monitor and removes his oxygen mask. Emma's love is written all over her face as she looks at her dead little boy. Regina watches through the window. Commercial.
