Fiona’s curse alters Storybrooke, institutionalizing Emma and leaving only Henry and Gold “awake,” while sending Emma’s other allies to their home realms. The Final Battle begins over Emma’s belief; if she stops believing in the realms of story, they will be consumed by Fiona’s curse and cease to exist, while Fiona would gain unchecked powers and be able to break the Laws of Magic at will. In the Enchanted Forest, the banished characters gather at Regina’s castle; David and Hook obtain a magic bean and the Evil Queen sacrifices herself, holding off the curse’s storm to delay the group’s destruction. Fiona convinces Emma to destroy the book, but Henry hand-draws one that restores her belief in time to save everyone in the castle. Gold kills Fiona, who had hidden Belle and turned her into a coward; this breaks the curse, which restores everyone’s memories and reunites them in Storybrooke. However, Gideon is still under orders to kill Emma. Gold attempts to free Gideon’s heart; however, a spell cast by Fiona prior prevents him from doing so. Emma lays down her sword, allowing Gideon to impale her; this releases Emma’s light magic and ends the battle. With both Gold and Emma having chosen good, Gideon is returned to infancy and the realms are restored, and those who perished in the crisis are restored. The characters all embark on their “happy beginnings”. Many years later, an adult Henry vanishes while defending his daughter Lucy from an unidentified entity. Guided by Tiger Lily, Lucy travels to Seattle, where Henry no longer remembers her. So grab a cup of tea and join us as we explore the magical world of Storybrooke and beyond with Chelsea and Roger.

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.
