In the past, Snow makes a wish that grants the entire Enchanted Forest the ability to use the gift of song as a strength, which also spreads to Oz as well. When Regina becomes affected by the wish, she finds a way to end it before the first curse takes place, but the Blue Fairy, who granted Snow the wish, tells Snow and David that the wish will be part of Emma’s destiny. In Emma’s past, her chance to make use of her talent is held back by being told she’ll be alone. This would come back to haunt Emma in the present day, as Fiona returns to use that weakness to take Emma’s heart before unleashing a new curse on her wedding day, with help from Gold by freezing her family. When Henry discovers the page in the book that reveals the song in Emma’s heart will make her stronger, not only does it embolden Emma, it stops Fiona from crushing her heart, but Fiona still tells Emma that the battle will continue. On their wedding day, Emma and Hook finally marry, just in time for the dark clouds of the Black Fairy’s curse to erupt from the clock tower and engulf them at 6:00 PM, setting up the final battle. So grab a cup of tea and join us as we explore the magical world of Storybrooke and beyond with Chelsea and Roger.
