He promises to come back for and runs for help.
Little doesthisversion of Regina know, her mirror is trying her bestnotto let go of her child.
Shes disappointed when nothing happens, and he can read the reaction all over Ronis face.
Im done searching for answers in our imaginary past, he insists.
Lucy, however, is not.
Back at the station, an injured Rogers demands information from Weaver/Rumple about whats happening around town.
Rather than beating around the bush (pun intended), he decides to just lay it out clean.
Magic is real, he tells him.
All of it, everything you read in Henry Mills book.
We are all from another realm.
His next question is simple: If all this is true, which of these characters was he?
In due time, Capn.
If Henrys reacquainted with the second book, perhapsthatwill be the wake-up call theyve been looking for.
Sure, it means exhuming the Evil Stepmother, but … eh.
Thats not much of an obstacle, morally at least.
[Insert tiny violins GIF here.]
The effort to reintroduce Henry to the book is ultimately in vain, though.
West get put to the test, and they pass with flying colors.
Back at Jacindas house, Lucy melts down over Henry refusing to let his mind budge.
Beside his name, theres a number, and he decides to dial.
Storybrooke Henry is readying for graduation when the phone rings.
He even remembers being on the other end of this phone call.
): Home isnt a place.
Its the people in it.
And theyll always be with you.
Now that he remembers, at last, theres work to be done.
See, Regina has decided to venture to take matters into her own hand by fighting Gothel one-on-one.
Now out of her trance, Tilly becomes Alice again, as Margot remembers herself to be Robin.
Lovely as the moment is, theres still work to be done.
Gothel is quickly transforming the town into her own little tree village, and only Alice can stop her.
You want to ruin me the way the world ruined you, she says.
But I choose love.
The two fight Harry Potter vs. Voldemort style, but it doesnt take long for Alice to defeat her.
Its titled Once Upon a Time, and its the story of us.
Sometimes, you have to leave home.
And you take that place with you no matter where you go next.
Im lucky, I have an incredible home.
You wont find doubt here.
In it you will find magic.
Youll find love and hope and something to believe in.
They find each other.
They always find each other.
I wish the world could know the story of my family.
How it was all true, how every moment of it happened.
They live inside of us.They make us who we are.
And as long as someone believes that, there will always bemagic.
Two more episodes, everybody.
