A few favorites return from Storybrooke
Id like to make a deal with the writers ofOnce Upon a Time.
Because everyone knows that a world with Colin ODonoghue in tight black leather is a better world.
Henry sends an S.O.S.

message through the bottle, begging Emma, Regina, and Captain Hook to save him from Lady Tremaine.
The scene switches to Seattle Henry opening the door for Officer Rogers.
You know, the non-hooked version of Captain Hook.
Henry admits that he made up the character of Emma Swan and then asks about Jacinda and Lucy.
The mother-daughter duo arent doing so hot since Henry threw them under the bus.
Vicky doesnt believe in second chances.
Later, Henry tries to plead his case to Jacinda, begging for her forgiveness.
Jacinda leaves in a huff, presumably to fry and sell chicken.
Lady Tremaine gives Drizella orders to torture Henry until he spills the beans about where he hid Cinderellas slipper.
Regina all but cries when she sees her son grown up.
Henry prattles on about Emmas whereabouts, and Hook quickly says something about the savior fighting dragons.
When Henry hightails it out of the room, Regina lays into Hook for straight-up lying to Henry.
Oh, I do love good intrigue!
Emmas story will have to wait, because now we are back in Hyperion Heights.
That problems name is Henry.
Weaver heads straight to Ronis bar for some light recon.
Ronis lips are sealed.
Before Rogers leaves, Roni warns him to be careful with his new partner.
Then she jumps on the bar and dancesCoyote Ugly-style.
Not really, but wouldnt that be fabulous?
If a woman came through with a glass slipper, these jokers would have noticed.
Far-fetched, but Ill allow it.
Thats right, ladies and gentlemen: Drunk Killian lives in this realm!
He tells Killian that their stories were parallel up until a certain time.
Where Killian found love with Emma Swan, Drunk Killian did not.
He found misery, heartbreak, and rum.
Lots and lots of rum.
I guess the Captain Hook message-in-a-bottle works for all Captain Hooks in any realm?
Its a good thing Lady T jacked the fairy godmothers wand, because this request is super easy.
Drunk Killian is now as hot as Storybrooke Killian.
What a happy coincidence.
Can you guess the name of the bartender?
An oddly impressive grand gesture if Ive ever seen one.
Lucy will be the grand prize in this deception.
When they leave the apartment, Rogers cant help but take the swan keychain hanging by the door.
Once again, we are back in the other realm.
Henry pushes Regina to tell him all about home, but Regina dodges all questions.
Thanks, production team, for the quirky music to remind me that this isnt our regularly scheduled Killian.
This guy tries his best to convince Henry that its time to go back home to Storybrooke.
Henry broods outside, while Other Hook tries to console him.
Suddenly, Emma arrives in a whoosh, complete with red cardigan.
Only the cardigan is in a bigger size and the skin-tight jeans have been replaced with sensible jeggings.
Mazel tov, Henry.
Youre going to be a big brother!
Say hello to your expecting mother who never ages!
As Emma tells Henry the good news, fake Killian become visibly upset.
He mumbles something about needing to fix it and runs off into the woods.
He finds the real Killian outside the tavern.
Fake Killian explains that he doesnt want to separate a father from his child.
In fact, hes trying to find his own daughter who is trapped in a prison.
He thinks true love is the cure for saving her.
Thats why he wanted so desperately to find Emma.
Real Killian has his own change of heart and is elated to see Emma walk up.
Outside, Rogers tries to ditch the bracelet, but Weaver stops him.
Rogers tells Weaver that he doesnt want to separate a father from his child.
In a surprise twist, Weaver actually commends Rogers for having a moral core.
Do we trust Rumple Weaver?
Back over at Ronis, Jacinda finally forgives Henry.
She blames her mood on Lucys insistence that shes Cinderella.
Jacinda doesnt like the someday my prince will come vibe.
Yo Jacinda…thats Snow Whites line.
Get your princesses straight.
Henry seems content for the most part, as does the Henry in the other realm.
Heres hoping that involves another chance with Robin Hood.
Operation Next Chapter is officially on.
(Headherefor actor Colin ODonoghues take on this big twist for Hook.)
Cut to current day, and we see the same thing.
He wants to be a hero.
He wants to be good.
And he wants to figure out whats going on in their town.
If theres any way to take down Victoria, Rogers needs Henry and Ronis help to do it.
Its all for one and one for all.
Operation Coyote Ugly is officially on.
