From 5.16 "Our Decay", in flashback, Zelena and Hades were riding the bike, laughing.

Freya/Priscilla: (voice over) "Previously on Worlds Colliding (Once Upon a Time)."

From 5.16 "Our Decay", in flashback, Hades was explaining to Zelena. "My older brother is a god. He stopped my heart. Once we kiss... my heart will start again."

From 5.07 "Nimue", in Granny's diner, Lisa and Blake were talking to Merlin and Cyrus.

"We prophesied you," Cyrus told them.

"I got my powers from the Holy Grail itself, and that power was passed from me to Cyrus," Merlin told them.

"If the Gods gave you powers, does that mean you're Divine Beings, too?" Lisa asked.

"No," Merlin answered. "We still have Divine magic, but we're not Divine Beings."

From 5.16 "The Brothers Jones", in the Hatter House, everyone was talking.

Tori looked at Cyrus. "The whole Enchantresses and Illusionists goes back to the Sorcerer and his son. You and Merlin, Cyrus."

From 5.18 "Ruby Slippers", in the pawnshop, Belle was speaking to her family and Gold. "As long as I'm asleep, Hades can't put me or the baby in danger like he's doing to the rest of our family, and you'll have all the time you need to help Freya, Jefferson, Grace, Lisa, Blake and Alcina destroy the contract and whatever threat he still holds against them, Henry, Rose, Tori, Saphira, Mathias, Faye, Derek, or the babies of Tori, Mathias, Alcina, Robin, Faye and Derek."

From 5.12 "Souls of the Departed", in Hades's lair, Hades was in his throne, speaking to Cora. "I know how much you love Regina and Alcina, even after everything you did to Alcina, but I'm surprised you care so much about Faye, especially after what you did to her mother."

Hades used magic to change Cora into peasant clothes, having her filthy.

From 5.18 "Ruby Slippers", in Hades's lair, he looked at Zelena. "You're scared I'm going to disappoint you, aren't you?"

Zelena sighed. "I think that's a chance I'm just going to have to take."

An old fashioned red car was driving down the road. Hades was driving. Zelena was in the passenger seat. There was a shovel next to Zelena.

Woods

Zelena and Hades were sitting at a campfire, drinking.

"This is not what I was expecting," Zelena admitted. "What other surprises have you got hidden up those sleeves?"

Hades handed her her glass. "Well, for one, you haven't asked me why I brought you up here."

"Mm, with men, it's usually pretty obvious," Zelena told him.

Hades chuckled. "Oh, you got me. But there's more on my mind, actually."

"Really?" Zelena asked. "What, then?"

Hades stood, offering Zelena a hand. "Come. It's easier if I show you." Zelena took his hand, letting him help her up." They walked toward the lights of the city. "You see all that?"

"Yes," Zelena answered. "The hellish Storybrooke, the one you made for me. The gesture was appreciated."

"But not enough, I know," Hades told her. "Just giving you a decayed version of what your sister had. You deserve more. You deserve the real thing, and once my heart is beating again and I can leave this place for good, that's where I want to take you."

"You want to come with me to Storybrooke?" Zelena asked.

Hades nodded. "If you'd have me."

"But what about all your plans, your revenge against your family?" Zelena asked.

"Lisa, Blake and Christopher, you mean?" Hades asked. "I don't care about that anymore, not if I can have you. All I care about is a future where we might be a family."

Zelena chuckled. "Don't think my sisters, daughters, your family and the rest of their terribly self-righteous gaggle of do-gooder friends would want to share their home with the Lord Death and the Wicked Witch. Especially all you've done to the Stiltskins/Hatters."

"What if they weren't there to stop us?" Hades asked.

"What do you mean?" Zelena asked.

"The Underworld will still exist even after I leave, which means all of the heroes will be trapped here, and I mean all of them, except for Faye, and her and Derek's daughter, since they mean so much to you," Hades told her. "After Snow White left, I made sure everyone's name got put on a tombstone."

"You want to keep them down here for eternity?" Zelena asked.

"There's no other way," Hades told her. "I know things between you and your sisters are... complicated, but it's them, or us and Faye, and her and Derek's baby." He knelt in front of Zelena. "So, what do you say, Zelena? Will you make chaos with me?"

Zelena's Farmhouse

Zelena walked in, seeing her daughter and sisters waiting there. "Faye. Regina. Alcina. Let me guess, Tori, Saphira and Mathias are also here." She turned to see them behind her. "Right."

"Someone home's late," Regina told her.

Zelena sighed. "Now is not the time, Regina."

"Really?" Tori asked. "I think we'll be the judges of that."

"What do you want?" Zelena asked.

Alcina chuckled without humor. "What, we can't show we care?"

"I thought we'd find you still sulking over your favorite pair of shoes," Saphira told her. "Where were you?"

Zelena sighed. "Well, I was... you know where I was, don't you? That's why you're all here. You've been spying on me. How?"

Regina showed her a mirror.

"Next time, tell your boyfriend to pick you up in something with a little less chrome," Mathias suggested.

Zelena scoffed. "He's not my boyfriend, and maybe show a little respect for privacy."

Mathias shook his head. "Oh, no. We're not teenagers sharing a house. You lost the right to privacy after... well, pretty much everything you've done to us."

"Not to mention what Hades wants to do to the people I care about," Faye told her. "My family, and not to mention your sisters."

"And I suppose I don't get any points for not saying yes?" Zelena asked.

"Well, you also didn't say no," Faye replied. "But you're not going to get the chance to do anything, because you're not going to see him again."

"Because my relationship with Hades puts yours with Blake's at risk?" Zelena asked.

"Because we're trying to stop Hades from ruining everything and everyone," Alcina answered. "Including my other sister Freya."

"I know you don't believe us, Zelena, but we are trying to do what's best for you, too," Regina told her.

"And how do you know that isn't being with Hades?" Zelena asked.

"Because he's a villain," Regina answered.

"Yeah, but he doesn't always have to be," Zelena told them. "Like with Alcina and Robin, Regina and Emma, Faye and Blake, Saphira and Derek, even, God forbid, Tori and Mathias, because I spent most of my life trying to split the two of you apart because I had feelings for Mathias. Oh, all of you helped each other. Derek and Robin used to be bloody thieves."

"Yes, who stole from the rich to give to the poor," Saphira replied. "Me and my family had issues with darkness all our lives because of what Snow and David did to Aunt Lily and Papa when they were born. Regina and Alcina turned to villains because of what Cora and Rumple wanted them to do."

"You want to redeem the God of Death, who kept his nephew here for who knows how long, tortured and locked away," Tori told her. "You know everything he did to Freya, Jefferson, Grace, Lisa and Blake. Everything he is still doing to them. And you realize that he's been threatening not only them, but Faye, Derek, Henry, Rose, Alcina, me, Mathias, Saphira, Belle. My and Mathias's child, along with Gold and Belle's, Alcina and Robin's, Derek and Faye's."

"I know, Tori, but I can change that," Zelena told her. "I can help him."

"And what if you're wrong, hmm?" Mathias asked. "What happens to all of us then?"

Zelena looked at Tori, Saphira and Mathias. "Stop pretending that you care about me, because we all know you don't. You just want to play nice because of Faye." She looked at Regina and Alcina. "And stop pretending either of you wanted another sister."

Flashback

Enchanted Forest

Day - Mills Home

Young Regina and Young Alcina were playing around with their dolls.

Cora walked in. "What are you doing in here? Alcina, Regina, what are you doing?"

"We were just playing with our dolls for dress up," Young Alcina answered. "Want to play with us?"

Cora was using a key to get into a drawer in her desk, putting her spellbook away, closing and locking the drawer. "I'm sorry, my darlings, I can't. I have too much work to attend to."

Young Regina pouted. "But you never have time to play."

Cora temporarily forgot about the key still in the drawer, leaning against the desk, sighing. "Do you remember what I told you about when I was a child, Regina, when I first had Alcina?"

"You mean what it was like to be the miller's daughter?" Young Regina asked.

"Yes," Cora answered. "I had to work in the mill all day wearing nothing but rags, but it taught me something important. The only person I could depend on was me, and once I learned that lesson, everything changed."

"I'm happy we don't have to wear rags anymore," Young Alcina told her. "Maybe you can play with us later?"

Cora tilted her head. "You have your dolls until then. I'll see you at supper."

Cora left the room.

Young Alcina was whispering Regina's name, and Gina, over and over again to make her sister laugh.

Young Regina noticed the key still in the drawer, opening it, tossing a box, making it open, revealing a wand inside. She giggled, running around with the wand.

Young Alcina looked up to notice this. "Gina, no."

Young Regina flicked the wand, causing a burst of purple magic to spread through the room, knocking both her and Young Alcina down, making them both fall to the floor, unconscious.

Cora returned to the room, seeing what happened. "Alcina? Regina. Oh, no, no, no."

Henry walked in. "What happened?"

"My wand," Cora answered.

They knelt next to their girls worriedly.

"But how?" Henry asked. "Don't you keep it protected by magic?"

"Blood magic," Cora answered. "I locked it away to keep them safe from it, but I forgot the key."

"Can't you heal them?" Henry asked.

Cora shook her head. "My magic won't work, not when it's the cause of their pain. Their only chance would be someone close to them who hasn't harmed them."

"They have no other family, not with magic, anyway," Henry told her, fore this had been before he realized the true nature of Alcina's heritage.

Cora realized who she needed, her other daughter. "Regina. Alcina. You're going to be all right. I promise."

Hatter House - Living Room

Regina, Alcina and the Matthews were explaining to the others.

"Zelena is in love?" Emma asked.

"And not thinking rationally," Ella told them. "Which for her is a big problem."

"We have to stop her," Killian told them. "And if you can't because she's your blood, then allow me to."

"What, kill her?" Faye asked.

Killian shrugged. "Well, it's a step in the right direction."

Faye glared at him.

"Well, taking action against Zelena in any form will get messy," Rose told them.

"Okay," Grace said. "So we find way to keep them apart without killing anyone."

"I'm waiting for the better option," Henry told them.

Freya was trying not to say anything because she knew anything she would say against Zelena would just be coming from anger and madness, sighing. "So? What's the plan?"

"Well, there's only one person we can trust to destroy the love blooming between Hades and Zelena," Jefferson told them. "Cora."

Pan's Pawnshop

Gold was sitting next to the sleeping Belle, taking her hand. "It's me, Belle. It's time for me to fix this. I know how you would want me to do it, how you would want me to use light magic, but I can't. I'm sorry, Belle. I really don't want to let you down, but there's only one way to save our child, you, or the rest of my family. Especially Priscilla. I have to do things my way now."

Tunnels

Cora was forced to work at what appeared to be a mill underground.

"No time for rest now," a man told her. "There's more flour to mill. There's always more. Now get back to work." Cora turned away to do as told, seeing a hook in a pile of hay, taking it, using it to rip the anti-magic cuff off of her hand, turning toward the two men, raising the hook, smirking in satisfaction. "Where'd you get that?"

Cora shrugged slightly. "I have my suspicions. Shall we see if I'm correct?"

Cora used magic to take the two men down with ease, running into another tunnel.

Killian was waiting there. "Hello, love."

Cora sighed in relief, walking closer. "Hook. So I was right. You are my fairy godmother."

Killian took his hook back, putting it back on. "Well, no one's ever called me that before. But I suppose I am. Let's get out of here. Your family needs you."

Oz

Day - Road

Cora was in hiding, watching Young Zelena. Young Zelena was carrying wood for her home, dropping them, using magic to pick them up and send them soaring into a stack.

Hearing the clacking of wood, the woodcutter appeared around the corner of the house. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Young Zelena was afraid. "Father, I'm sorry."

"Sorry?" the woodcutter repeated. "I warned you about giving in to your wickedness. You want someone to see you? What would happen then?"

"It won't happen again, I promise," Young Zelena told him.

The woodcutter picked up a piece of wood. "That's right, 'cause I'm gonna teach you the lesson you've always deserved. Your mother's not here to protect you anymore."

When the woodcutter raised his arm to strike Young Zelena, he was frozen by a wave of magic.

Young Zelena was confused, thinking she did this. "I'm sorry, Father. I don't know what happened. I don't understand."

Cora approached Young Zelena. "You don't need to worry, child. You didn't do anything. I did."

Young Zelena looked at her in confusion. "You have magic?"

"Yes," Cora answered.

"Are you a good witch or..." Young Zelena trailed off.

Cora chuckled. "Don't worry, sweetheart, I'm a good witch. Your father's wrong to make you feel badly for being who you are. What you have is a gift. Would you like the chance to show him that your magic isn't wicked?"

"How?" Young Zelena asked.

"By helping two girls very dear to me," Cora answered. Young Zelena nodded. "Oh, good. Come, then. Come along."

Young Zelena took Cora's hand.

Street

David was walking with a bag. A Sheriff's car pulled up to him, siren blazing as it pulled over.

James got out of the car. "Well, well, there he is. The shepherd. Looks like you lost your flock."

David looked at his twin in shock. "James."

"It's Prince James to you," James told him.

David rolled his eyes. "All right, Prince James it is. I'm just..." He put his bag down. "Glad to finally see you so we can talk. Cruella told me why you're so angry with me, because..."

"Mother gave me up and kept you?" James asked. "That's what she said?" He chuckled. "Ah, she was never really good at reading people, better with dogs."

"If that's not the problem, what is?" David asked.

James stepped closer. "Well, it's simple. You stole my glory. You were never half the man I was, and yet you got everything. Everything that was mine. Well, now you're gonna pay."

David pointed at him angrily. "It's not my fault you got yourself killed."

"Well, we'll see what happens now, shepherd," James told him, reaching into his jacket.

"You want to prove you're so much better than me?" David asked. "Fight fair."

James chuckled. "Why bother? What could you ever do to me? I'm already dead." David saw a wooden post on the ground. James laughed. David picked up the wood, swinging it at James. James ducked, shoving his taser into David's side, shocking him into unconsciousness. "Well, you've had your fun playing prince. Now let's see what happens when I play shepherd."

ღღ

Fiery Cave

The Hatters, Grace, Rose, Henry, Cyrus, Axel and Christopher were all here.

"What are we doing here?" Henry asked.

"Cyrus, Freya, Jefferson, Lisa and Blake and I found a way to help Cyrus find Merlin," Christopher answered. "For Axel to see his mother. And for Blake and Lisa to see their mother. Possibly for Lisa, Blake and me to meet Zeus."

Axel looked at them in shock. "What, really?"

"How did you know what I was trying to do?" Cyrus asked.

"Rose told us," Freya answered.

Cyrus looked at Rose.

Rose shrugged, smirking. "You really wanted to find a way to talk to Merlin, Cyrus. Axel deserves closure from his mother's death. Just like Axel got closure from Samuel and Elijah. I figured Lisa, Blake and Christopher could help."

"You're right, Rose," Cyrus told her. "You and Grace can help, too."

"You really found a way to talk to the dead?" Henry asked. "Well, the peaceful dead."

"Yep," Christopher answered.

"How?" Freya asked. "I mean, Rose and Cyrus tried it before. They failed. I thought I saw Neal in a dream. But that could have been the madness."

"That wasn't the madness, Freya," Christopher told her. "Neal really did speak to you." Everyone was surprised to hear this. "I know it's surreal, but I think because you were on the way down here, and your mind was not protected, because of all the madness inside, I think that's how Neal was able to reach out and speak to you."

"And the reason Rose and Cyrus failed before was because they were missing something," Lisa told them. "Or, well, they weren't using it."

"What?" Rose asked.

"Divine Power," Blake answered.

"You see, Cyrus has Divine magic, but he's mortal now," Lisa told them.

"And mortals, unless dead and business free, are not allowed in the Olympus," Blake told them.

Cyrus sighed. "Plus, my connection to Divine magic was damaged when I got unbonded from Excalibur. So my connection to Divine magic was damaged, too."

"So in order to get to Olympus, you need something that's allowed there," Christopher told them.

"And that is us, the actual Divine Beings," Blake told them in superiority.

Christopher and Blake each gave a dramatic bow. Lisa rolled her eyes.

"You see, we don't just have a connection to Divine magic," Christopher told them. "We actually have it. Well, I don't have it at the moment because of this mark Hades branded me with, but Lisa and Blake do have it."

Blake and Lisa turned their bracelets into their staff and wand.

"That still doesn't explain why we're here," Henry told them.

"Tell me something, Henry," Freya told him. "Where does all Divine magic come from?"

Jefferson pointed to the wall where the way to the Olympus would open for the souls ready to move on. "The Olympus. Also known as the third kingdom to Blake and Lisa." Lisa and Blake smiled. "We are right outside of it. So that means that this is one of the most powerful hotspots of Divine magic."

Henry nodded. "Okay, that explains why we're here. But how exactly are you connecting to Cyrus's father, Axel's mother and Lisa and Blake's family?"

"That's the best part," Grace told them. "Cyrus, Axel, buckle up. You're going with them for a trip."

"Where?" Axel asked.

"The Olympus," Grace answered.

'What?" Axel asked.

"How exactly are you going to do a spell like that?" Rose asked.

"It's not just us doing the spell," Cyrus told them.

"Who else?" Rose asked.

"Our resident Illusionist and Enchantress," Cyrus answered.

"Really?" Grace asked.

"It's simple, actually," Christopher told them. "You see, you failed before because you didn't have a pure connection to Olympus, but you do now. You see, the plan is, we're using Blake's advanced astral projection powers to make our spirits go into Olympus, with Lisa's help. And it will work, since Lisa and Blake are the Divine Pair, actual celestial beings, and it's our kingdom."

"Then Cyrus would use his powers to take his spirit and Axel's to where Cyrus's father and Axel's family are," Blake told them.

"And Christopher would be capable of going even with this mark," Freya realized. "Since you technically would not leave the Underworld."

Jefferson nodded. "Exactly."

"You guys really thought through all of this for us?" Axel asked.

"Of course we did," Blake answered. "You do realize we're the best best friends ever, right?"

Axel scoffed in amusement, smiling, nodding. "Yeah, you really are."

"Cyrus doesn't have to guide Lisa, Blake and I up there because I have a feeling Ingrid and Zeus will come find us," Christopher told them. "Ingrid, although she made a lot of mistakes, loves Lisa and Blake more than anything, and Zeus would want to see us, I'm betting."

"So what are Rose and Grace gonna do?" Jefferson asked.

Grace frowned. "Yeah. I thought you said this needs Divine power."

"And we do," Lisa answered.

"You guys remember that your power as Enchantress and Illusionist comes from me and my father, right?" Cyrus asked. "And we got our powers from the gods, having a connection to Divine magic, which means..."

"We have a connection to Divine magic," Rose finished, processing.

Freya nodded. "That would explain why Rose and Grace were the only ones who could help Lisa and Blake with their control problem. They made it possible for them to be around each other without losing control of their magic."

Grace already looked afraid of losing control now that she knew she had more power than she ever thought before.

Axel noticed how worried she was, taking her hand. "Hey, Grace, it's okay."

Lisa nodded. "Yeah, Grace, it's gonna be okay."

"It's just a connection to Divine magic," Christopher assured. "You can allow yourself to use a little bit of it, or you can open up that connection and use a lot of it, but that is purely up to you and how much power you wanna use. Lisa and Blake are different because their power is pure Divine magic."

Jefferson placed a hand on Grace's shoulder to reassure her. "Your Illusionist power and Rose's Enchantress power is already quite unique and powerful. The Divine connection is what makes you special. You already had that power inside you, Grace, you just didn't know it."

"It doesn't mean you have to be afraid of more," Freya told her.

Grace felt better, nodding. "Now I get. The sweetest girl with the deadliest power. How chaotic it could be. The reason why the Illusionist has enough power to destroy entire kingdoms. Now I get where it all comes from."

They all nodded in agreement.

Rose sighed. "Okay. How exactly are we doing this?" Blake waved his staff around, raising it, looking at his staff, making his eyes turn black, concentrating, making his staff glow black, slamming it in the ground hard. The cave quaked a little since he was using his magic to anchor the staff to the cave. "Hey. Quakes are Grace's thing. Remember?"

Grace smirked sarcastically. "You're hilarious, Rose."

They all smiled a bit in amusement.

"Now listen, 'cause this spell will take a lot out of us," Lisa told them. "So we don't get any other chance."

"You see, Lisa and Blake's powers would act like the key, and they would take us and Cyrus and Axel to Olympus," Christopher explained. "Cyrus's powers would act like the compass that would give him and Axel to their family members. And Rose and Grace's powers would act like the hook. When its time, you have to get us back here."

"How would we know when it's time?" Rose asked.

"Trust me, you'll know, Rose," Cyrus told her.

"Enchantress power?" Rose asked.

Cyrus nodded. "Enchantress power."

Rose sighed. "Okay. Got it, then."

"In the meantime, we'll stay here and protect your bodies," Jefferson told them.

"You guys ready?" Freya asked.

"Yep," Lisa answered.

"Yes," Christopher answered.

"Always ready," Axel answered.

Cyrus nodded. "Ready as I'll ever be."

Blake smirked. "All right, let's do it."

"Oh, look, Blake is quoting his girlfriend Faye, who stole the phrase from Tori, Saphira and Mathias, Blake's future family in law," Rose teased.

Blake blushed, looking away. "Shut up, Rose."

Everyone chuckled lightly.

"Come on," Henry told them. "Good luck. We'll make sure everything is okay back here."

Blake, Lisa and Christopher grabbed Blake's staff, making it glow brighter.

Christopher sighed. "Cyrus. Axel. Before we're doing this, remember that this is still Divine magic and even though Cyrus has it, he is mortal now, and magic like this could kill either of you."

"What Papa is trying to say is hold on tight and don't let go," Lisa told them.

Cyrus and Axel nodded, holding on. Cyrus gave Axel his other hand. Axel took it. Cyrus used his powers, making some silver veins appear in Axel's arm to represent Cyrus's connection to Divine power. Lisa held her wand, making it glow on top of Blake's staff, making both glow black and white, charging it with her power. Blake looked at his staff, turning his eyes black, concentrating more power. Rose and Grace could control the wave of power around them, making sure it couldn't touch Henry, Freya and Jefferson so that none of them were hurt by Divine magic. The staff released a power wave that made them gasp, but Rose and Grace could protect Henry, Freya and Jefferson from the blast, unhurt by it. Lisa, Blake, Christopher, Cyrus and Axel were all affected but not hurt, their eyes black, and black and white veins appearing in their arms to show the connection to the staff, and that their spirits had left their bodies.

Olympus - Axel's Reunion

Axel gasped awake, laying on the ground in a beautiful field, sitting up, looking around in confusion, standing, hearing a wolf howling, speeding to it, stopping to look at the wolf in front of it. The wolf transformed into his mother, who was named Ava.

Axel was in shocked relief to see her. "Mother."

Ava was in shock, embracing her son in tears. "Axel. My beautiful boy. How? Why are you here? You're so young. What happened? How did you die?"

Axel shook his head reassuringly. "No, no. I'm not here. Well, I am, but not really. I'm in an astral projection form. I'm alive. My friends did this to help me find you and my body is in the Underworld, but I'm okay."

Ava embraced him again. "Oh, Axel..."

"Mama, I miss you so much," Axel told her. "I was so young when you died. There wasn't a day where I didn't think of you."

Ava pulled away sadly. "Oh, Axel, I'm so sorry that I wasn't there to raise you, and when I saw our brother and father here, they told me what happened, how they came to be here."

Axel looked down in shame. "Oh, you heard that."

Ava raised his chin. "Axel, look at me. What happened was not your fault. It was mine. You weren't in control, and I was supposed to be there to teach you and I wasn't. I'm so sorry."

Axel shook his head. "Hey, don't. Papa and Elijah told me it wasn't my fault, and that I had to forgive myself, and so do you. What happened was not your fault."

Ava sighed. "I did it, too. What you did."

"Really?" Axel asked.

Ava nodded. "Yes, when I was transforming for the first time."

Axel shook his head. "Mama, don't. What happened was not your fault, just like it wasn't mine. If Papa and Elijah were here right now, they would kill us for being so stubborn and tell us to forgive ourselves."

Ava chuckled. "Yeah, they would." She placed a hand on his cheek. "I love you, Axel. Don't you ever forget that."

Axel smiled slightly. "I love you, too."

"Now, tell me how long you're here for," Ava told him.

Axel shrugged. "I don't know. A while, I guess."

"Well, let's not waste it," Ava told him.

"What do you mean?" Axel asked.

Ava smiled. "Let me show you what it's like to feel free, Axel, the true wolf way."

"How?" Axel asked.

Ava smiled, backing away to turn into a wolf. Axel smirked, letting his eyes glow gold, turning into a wolf as well. They ran off until finding another wolf, who was Elijah, Axel's brother. They all stood together, howling at the sky. Samuel, Axel's father, was sitting down on a blanket, watching his family together, smiling.

Cyrus's Reunion

Camelot

Tower - Outside

Cyrus woke up at the tower that he used to live in with Merlin and Nimue, gasping, standing, looking around.

Merlin was attending to Nimue's flowers. "Now, I know you didn't forgot about this place, Cyrus. Just because you have a whole new mansion for you and your circle."

Cyrus smiled. "Father."

Merlin chuckled, standing, approaching his son so the two could embrace. "Oh, Cyrus, how I miss you."

"I can't believe you're finally here," Cyrus admitted. "I spent all this time looking for you to see if you were okay. And now you're right in front of me."

Merlin smiled warmly. "That's the beauty of life. Even in death, Cyrus, we are unpredictable, but I always knew I would see you again."

Cyrus flashed back to when Nimue brainwashed Freya and Jefferson to kill Merlin in front of him, shaking his head in shame. "Father, I'm so sorry I couldn't save you before."

Merlin knelt in front of him. "No, no, Cyrus. I want you to know that I'm proud of you. I'm proud of everything you did, everything you became even without me."

"Really?" Cyrus asked.

Merlin nodded, smiling slightly. "Yes, my boy. You saved them. Your friends. You found someone you might even be able to love. Cyrus, even though what happened was bad, you still found moments to be happy, and that's what life is about."

Cyrus remembered what Merlin used to tell him after what happened to Nimue. "Life is made of little moments."

Merlin smiled. "And they are as precious as diamonds. Cyrus, you still have a lot of diamonds to find."

They embraced.

"Father?" Cyrus asked. "I want you to know that I'm happy. There will not be a day that goes by that I won't think about you. Or everything you taught me."

"And I wouldn't even dream of a day that I won't think of you, son," Merlin told him. They chuckled. "Cyrus, do you mind helping me with these flowers? They just won't grow."

Cyrus laughed. "Well, we do make a pretty good team. Don't we?"

"Yes, we do," Merlin answered.

They smiled, using their magic to grow the flowers.

"Even after what Mother did, I couldn't hate her," Cyrus told him. "Not even after what she did in Camelot. Or Storybrooke."

"I know, Cyrus," Merlin told him. "And I'm sorry she did those things. But you must know that wasn't your mother. That was something that Nimue became. The thing that killed her." Cyrus nodded in agreement. "Even so, I know you couldn't hate her, and I'm so glad you can still find a way to move on from what happened and become your own person, even after what she did, and even if I'm no longer with you. You spent all of your life in that stone, Cyrus. It was long past time you finally broke free and lived on your own."

Cyrus smiled sadly. "I like the life I have now, Father. I'm no longer letting what Mother did hold me back. But I wish you were there to help show me the way to the things I still don't know."

Merlin nodded knowingly in understanding. "I know, but I believe that you're finding everything you need all on your own."

They managed small smiles.

Divine Reunion

Big White Corridor

Lisa, Blake and Christopher appeared in the big white corridor.

"Where are we?" Lisa asked.

"I don't know, Gallifrey, maybe?" Blake asked sarcastically.

"You're hilarious," Lisa told him sarcastically, laughing.

Blake laughed sarcastically back.

Christopher sighed. "Lisa. Blake."

They stopped. "Sorry, Papa."

Christopher looked around in confusion. "I don't understand why my father would take us here."

The doors suddenly opened. They all raised their hands out of instinct. Ingrid walked in.

Blake smiled happily to see his mother. "Mama."

Blake ran into Ingrid's waiting arms.

Ingrid smiled. "Oh, Blake, my beautiful boy." They pulled away. Ingrid stood, looking at her estranged daughter, regretting the things she had did to her and the people she cared about. "Lisa..."

Lisa was uncertain of how to act. "Hi." She walked closer to give Ingrid a hug. Ingrid smiled in relief, returning the embrace. "I know you regret the things you did. You made up for them when you sacrificed yourself to save the whole town."

Ingrid smiled.

Christopher walked closer. "Ingrid."

Ingrid was stunned to see her ex-husband. "Christopher, I'm sorry about what I did. I never should have had Rumplestiltskin erase your memories. I..."

Christopher embraced her. "There is nothing to forgive."

Ingrid smiled in shock, returning the embrace, before they pulled away. "Oh, my family together once again, even if it is in the most weird of situations."

"Well, we are not normal in any way, so..." Blake trailed off.

They laughed, embracing together.

"How are Anna and Elsa?" Ingrid asked.

"They're back in Arendelle," Christopher answered. "Lisa and Blake have told me that they visited them through the door in the circle's mansion once or twice."

"Circle?" Ingrid repeated.

"Blake and his friends, Henry, Axel and Cyrus," Christopher answered. "The Truest Believer, Lisa's boyfriend Henry, Axel's a werewolf, Grace's new crush, and the Sorcerer's son, Cyrus, Rose's new crush. How are Helga and Gerda?"

Ingrid smiled. "Oh, they are just fine. They miss you, Christopher. They're off somewhere around here."

Christopher smiled. "Good."

"When he told me you were coming, I didn't believe, but now you're here," Ingrid told them.

"So my father does know we're here," Christopher stated.

"Yeah," Blake sighed. "We want to see Grandpa Zeus."

Ingrid smiled. "Come with me."

Ingrid led them down the corridor to where Zeus was pacing.

"Father?" Christopher asked.

Zeus stopped, looking at him. "Hello, son." Christopher walked closer, stopping to look him in the eye. They were both stunned to meet the other. "Christopher..."

Christopher cut him off with an embrace, surprising him. Zeus let out a breath of relief, smiling, returning the hug.

Christopher pulled away. "These are my children. The Divine Pair. Lisa and Blake. But you already knew that, of course."

Zeus chuckled. "Yes, I did. Hello, there."

"Hey," Lisa told him.

Blake was having another fanboy moment. "Hi, big fan of yours. Zeus, the god of gods. Also our grandfather. I mean, whoa. Can this get any better?"

Lisa rolled her eyes. "Oh, great. Another fanboy attack."

Ingrid, Christopher and Zeus chuckled.

"Hello, Blake and Lisa," Zeus told them. "I've been expecting to meet you two for a long time."

"Where is Uncle Herc?" Lisa asked. "Is he coming too?"

"He is out for the day in a Pegasus," Zeus explained. "Date with a girl named Meg."

Blake smiled. "Oh, I understood that reference." Ingrid, Zeus and Christopher looked at him in confusion. "The Disney movie Hercules."

Lisa looked at Zeus. "So it's you. You're the one that created us, the Divine Pair. The Light Bringer and the Dark Being."

Zeus nodded. "I am. I saw the world... well, all the worlds... would need protection, and what other better way to protect them than with two beings made of the fabric of all the worlds themselves. The light and the dark."

Blake's ego was even more big. "So you're saying that the world would pretty much be nothing but chaos if it weren't for my awesomeness?" Lisa coughed sarcastically. Blake corrected himself. "Our awesomeness."

"I'm saying that the world needs you to save it," Zeus answered.

"Ignore him and his big ego," Lisa told them.

Ingrid looked at Christopher. "Well, he gets that from you."

"Can you blame me?" Christopher replied. "My father is the god of gods."

Zeus chuckled. "Well, I am pretty amazing, if I might say."

Lisa and Ingrid looked at him in disbelief. Blake and Christopher smiled in awe because he sounded just like them.

Lisa rolled her eyes. "Great. Ego runs in both sides of our family."

Ingrid looked at Lisa in amusement. "Tell me about it. You got the cool, collected, calm thing from me."

Lisa smiled. "Obviously."

They all chuckled.

Zeus shook his head in amusement. "Now, son, grandchildren."

'Yes, Grandpa Zeus?" Blake asked.

"I noticed you have seen Olympus from the outside, but would you like a tour on the inside?" Zeus asked. "It is your kingdom as well, after all."

"A tour with our grandfather, the god of gods, inside our third kingdom?" Blake asked excitedly. "I mean, yes."

They walked away with Zeus showing them around.

Underworld

Hatter House - Living Room

Emma and Ella were looking at a picture of their family.

James walked in with the bag, pretending to be David. "Emma. Ella. Everything okay?"

"Yeah," Emma answered. "We were just thinking about Mom. I hope she's okay without us."

"I'm sure she is," Ella told them, showing the picture to James. "Remember this?"

James chuckled. "Birthday, right?"

Emma frowned. "Anniversary, I think."

James shook his head. "Oh, right, of course. I'm not thinking straight." He sighed. "Being away from her is... it's hard."

"I know," Ella told him. "I know."

"You ready?" James asked.

Emma nodded. "Regina, Alcina, Tori, Saphira, Faye and Mathias said the rendezvous point with Robin and Derek is a half day's walk into the woods. It's just up to us. Freya, Lisa, Henry, Rose, Grace, Jefferson, Blake, Cyrus and Axel are doing their own thing. Saphira, Tori, Mathias, Faye, Regina and Alcina are dealing with Zelena. We gotta deal with Derek, Robin and the babies."

Ella looked at James. "You sure you have all the supplies from the list?"

James went through the bag. "Bottled waters, blankets, and a lot of baby wipes and diapers."

Ella smirked. "Father of the Year."

"Just do me a favor," James told them. "When we get back, don't tell Snow I forgot our anniversary."

"Well, between all the Curses and the time jumps, who could blame you?" Emma asked.

Ella opened the door. "Come on."

They walked out together.

Regina's Vault

Regina, Alcina and the Matthews were speaking to Cora.

"I'm so sorry we didn't come for you sooner," Regina told her. "If we had known..."

Cora was changed into her normal attire. "I can take care of myself. I just wish you weren't still here."

"Well, we told you," Alcina told her. "We couldn't leave. Not without helping our family and friends."

"But even if we wanted to leave now?" Saphira asked. "We can't."

"Why not?" Cora asked. "What's Hades's done?"

"He put all our names on a tombstone," Tori answered. "Trapping us here so he can go to Storybrooke without us or anyone else following him up there."

Cora shook her head. "Impossible. I know the Lord of the Underworld can't leave this realm for good."

"No, he..." Faye trailed off. "He can. If he restarts his heart with true love's kiss."

Cora scoffed. "Who could possibly love that man?"

"Zelena," Mathias answered.

Cora looked at them in shock. "Zelena? She's here?"

Saphira nodded. "It seems she and Hades have a past."

"That's how he knew about her," Cora realized. "That's why he was so interested in Faye when she arrived. We need to change Zelena's mind."

"We already tried," Tori told her. "She thinks she can change him. Make him a better man."

"You were right to come to me," Cora told them. She looked at Tori, Saphira and Mathias. "And I know that couldn't have been easy for the three of you considering our past."

Mathias shrugged. "Well, I spent 28 years trapped with you and Hook in a safe haven. You lied to me about Tori and Saphira being trapped with the Dark One. And you did try to kill us all."

"But we're willing to look past that right now," Saphira told her. "I mean, Faye's our family. You're her grandmother."

Tori sighed. "And we need your help."

"You're right," Cora agreed. "Zelena's in more danger than you realize. Hades has spent far too long down here to be changed by something as simple as love."

"And you have no idea the kind of danger he's putting my family in, Mother," Alcina told her. "He's been trying to make Freya lose her mind completely. Keeping her trapped down here so she couldn't bring Jefferson back. He's kept Grace, Rose and me trapped for so long. He was threatening Henry, Tori, Saphira, Mathias. He made Gold open a portal to bring Faye and Derek's child, and my twins, Belle and Robin down here"

"He is threatening the child of Tori and Mathias," Regina added. "Alcina and Robin. Faye and Derek. And Gold and Belle. We don't know how to stop him from getting to Freya. And make her do everything he wants her to do."

Cora considered all of this seriously, looking at Alcina. "I know I kept you from your other family for far too long, and I know I wanted you to leave them down here, but I'm not going to let Hades drag you down with them. And I know you won't turn your back on them."

"So you'll help Aunt Ally's family to help her?" Faye asked.

Cora nodded. "And we start by stopping Zelena's love for Hades."

"How do we stop Hades from hurting Zelena?" Saphira asked.

"We only have one option," Cora told them.

"What's that?" Mathias asked.

Cora sighed. "We have to make her forget Hades ever existed."

Flashback

Enchanted Forest

Night - Mills Home

Henry was tending to the slumbering Young Regina and Young Alcina. "Just hold on, dears. Your mother will be back soon."

Cora walked in, leading Young Zelena with her. "She already is, and I have exactly what we need."

"Who is she?" Henry asked.

"The cure," Cora answered.

"What sort of dark magic is this?" Henry asked. "Who is she?"

"Henry, please," Cora told him. "I found a way to save them."

Cora pointed for Henry to leave. After giving Young Regina and Young Alcina a kiss on their heads, Henry left the room.

"Is this them?" Young Zelena asked. "Are these your daughters?"

"Yes, Zelena," Cora answered, walking away to get her spell book. "Now, what I need you to do is very complicated, so you're going to have to follow my every instruction. It's not nearly as easy as stacking firewood." She turned around, to see that Young Zelena was already healing Young Regina and Young Alcina with green magic. "How do you... know how to do that?"

"I wanted to use my magic to help someone for so long," Young Zelena told her. "It just... came to me."

Cora walked closer, relieved when Young Regina and Young Alcina woke up. "Oh, my darling girls."

Young Alcina looked at Young Zelena. "Who's that?"

"The girl whose magic saved both of you from Regina's playfulness," Cora answered.

"I'm Zelena," Young Zelena explained. "What are our names?"

"I'm Alcina," Young Alcina answered. "This is Regina."

ღ

Now

Underworld

Woods

Regina, Alcina, Cora and the Matthews were standing next to a spring, getting water.

"This spring flows from the River Lethe," Mathias explained. "The River of Forgetfulness."

"One drops of its waters?" Saphira asked. "It will be as if Zelena never even met Hades."

Regina nodded. "Yes, Mathias, Saphira, we know how it works. I have dabbled with forgetting potions before."

Cora looked at Regina and Alcina. "As have I." She opened a vial to take some of the water. "In fact, there was a spring from this very river near our estate in the Enchanted Forest."

"Really?" Tori asked. "Who did you use it on?"

Cora sighed. "That's not important. What is important that you find a way to get Zelena to drink this."

"Good luck there," Saphira told her. "After we crashed her date? I don't think she'll let us within a mile of her farmhouse."

"Not me, Tori and Saphira," Mathias agreed. "But Regina, Alcina, Faye and Cora? She will."

"What do you have in mind?" Alcina asked.

"Cora," Tori answered. "She's the way in. After all these years, I think it's time Zelena finally gets to meet her mother."

Olympus

Big White Corridor

Blake, Lisa, Zeus, Christopher and Ingrid were walking through the corridor.

Lisa was completely amazed. "This is the best thing I have ever seen."

Zeus chuckled. "Well, I'm glad you like it. you're going to spend a lot of time here in the future."

"We are?" Blake asked excitedly.

Zeus nodded. "Of course, this is your kingdom, as you always say, and now that you're finally aware of your true heritage on both sides, you do have a lot of duties to fulfill."

"So what Herc said about adventures in the Olympus was true?" Christopher asked.

"Of course," Zeus answered. "People in all the worlds need the help of the Divine Pair, after all, and that is their destiny."

"You're right, the worlds would be doomed if it wasn't for me," Blake told him. Lisa hit his arm, making him correct himself. "Us."

Christopher sighed. "Father, I know we just met, but we have a question."

"What?" Zeus asked.

"How was it?" Christopher asked. "I mean, growing up here as a god and all that."

"Yeah, specially with such a drama queen like Hades," Lisa added.

Zeus chuckled. "Well, it was interesting. Hades wasn't always like that. He used to be kind, and a great brother."

"What happened to him?" Ingrid asked.

"I wish I knew," Zeus told them. "We grew up apart, and he started acting different, and everything just happened."

"Wait, so Hades wasn't always a condescending bastard?" Blake asked.

Christopher gave him a look. "Language."

Blake nodded. "Sorry."

"No, he wasn't," Zeus answered. "He used to be a really good person."

"According to the stories we read, it says you banished him down there," Ingrid told him.

"I wanted to see if he could change," Zeus told them.

Christopher put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, Father."

"Yeah, no one deserves to have to make that choice," Lisa told him.

Zeus sighed. "I'm glad that you're finally here, even if it's not technically, but I waited a long time for you, and honestly, it was worth the wait."

Lisa looked at Zeus and Ingrid. "We're glad to be here with both of you." Ingrid smiled. "And it was worth the wait for us, too, Grandpa Zeus."

They all smiled small smiles. Blake and Lisa's noses started to bleed. The spell was taking more and more from them.

ღ

With Axel

Ava and Samuel were sitting in the grass while watching Axel and Elijah were running around as wolves. Axel felt weak, having to turn back to human, his nose starting to bleed as well.

His family looked at him in confusion and concern. "Axel?"

"It's time for me to go," Axel explained. "I love you all."

Axel's family embraced him goodbye, their voices echoing. "We love you, Axel."

ღ

With Cyrus

Outside the tower by the flowers, Cyrus was still with Merlin. His nose started to bleed.

Merlin was worried, concerned, his voice echoing. "Cyrus?"

Cyrus breathed deeply. "It's the spell."

"So this is goodbye," Merlin realized. "Well, my son, I know I'll see you again." They embraced. "Until then, Cyrus."

Cyrus smiled slightly. "Until then, Father."

ღ

Big White Corridor

The Divines were with Ingrid.

Ingrid was worried. "Lisa, Blake, what's wrong?"

"It's the spell they did to get here," Zeus answered. "They're using Divine magic, and a lot of it. It's taking a toll on them. I'm assuming it is for your friends, too. Cyrus and Axel."

"We have to go," Christopher told them, his voice echoing. "Lisa... Blake..."

Zeus nodded.

ღ

Underworld

Fiery Cave

Freya, Jefferson, Grace, Rose and Henry were watching their bodies.

Henry sighed. "I'm bored."

Grace nodded. "Me too."

Freya was sitting alone.

Jefferson walked closer, sitting next to her. "Cilla? You okay?"

"You're never gonna stop asking me that," Freya guessed. "Are you?"

Jefferson smirked sarcastically, shaking his head, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "Mm, no. I'm gonna keep asking it for as long as I can."

Freya managed a chuckle, leaning her head on his shoulder. "I'm fine, Jefferson. Just tired."

Tori, Saphira and Mathias walked in.

"Hey," Saphira told them. "Thought you guys would be here."

"Where were you?" Freya asked. "What happened to you guys? Where's Ally?"

"Don't worry, Freya," Tori told her. "Alcina's fine. So are Faye and Regina. They're with Zelena and Cora now."

Jefferson nodded sarcastically. "If you had told me that they were with Zelena and Cora like a few years ago? That would be cause for some serious worry. Not a sense of ease."

Mathias chuckled. "Right. We know, Jefferson. But they're doing what they have to do."

"And what do they have to do?" Freya asked.

"They're trying to stop Zelena from loving Hades," Saphira answered.

"Can they do that?" Freya asked.

Mathias shrugged. "Cora thinks she can."

"Then maybe..." Saphira trailed off. "Well, hopefully. Maybe we can figure our way out of here."

Tori nodded in agreement. "For all of us. Once Zelena doesn't remember Hades. It might be possible."

"Lot of maybes and hopefullys," Jefferson pointed out. "But that's mostly all we got. Anytime."

Freya nodded in agreement. "Yeah. I just hope they're okay."

"They're gonna be fine," Mathias answered. "What seems weird is that you're mostly sane Freya today."

Freya gave him a look. "Mathias."

Tori sighed. "Mathias..."

Mathias nodded. "You know what I mean."

"Gold cast the spell to help Freya control her madness again," Jefferson explained. "It's taking a lot out of her."

Saphira shrugged. "Well, at least it's helping. For the most part, anyway."

"What are you guys doing?" Mathias asked. "Seems like some intense spellwork right here."

"Helping Lisa, Blake, Christopher, Axel and Cyrus contact their dead loves ones in Olympus," Freya answered. "Ingrid. Zeus. Axel's family. Cyrus's father."

Saphira, Tori and Mathias spoke together in surprise. "What? Bloody hell."

They chuckled lightly.

"Don't ask," Jefferson told them. "It was hard enough to explain the first time. Don't really feel like going through that again. We'll explain later."

Tori nodded. "Okay. Whatever you say."

Saphira chuckled. "Yeah. Right."

Rose seemed to be hit by a wave of magic, closing her eyes.

"Rose?" Henry asked. "What's wrong?"

"It's time," Rose answered. "We have to bring them back now."

"Okay," Grace told them. "Just concentrate, Rose."

Rose nodded. "Like Uncle Jefferson said, this is a hotspot for Divine magic."

Freya and Jefferson walked closer worriedly.

"It's okay," Jefferson told them. "You can do it."

Henry nodded. "If anyone can do it, it's you. We know you can. We believe in you. Now just believe in yourselves. Rose, Grace, you can do it."

Rose sighed, nodding. "Okay."

Grace and Rose held out their hands, concentrating on bringing their spirits back. Magic waves shot out of their hands, in their magic colors of light purple and rose red, surrounding them. They focused on their connection to Divine magic, causing their power to appear more lighter as white magic left their hands as well, starting to work on bringing them back. Grace's powers were unstable, shaking the fiery cave, but Freya, Jefferson and Rose helped her keep control. Saphira and Mathias were using their Dragon power to make sure that the flames in the fiery caves wouldn't leap out at them while everything was shaking.

Tori was woozy. "Oh, this is so not fun when you're pregnant."

ღ

Olympus

Big White Corridor

The Divines and Ingrid could feel the power, and the shaking from Grace's power.

"I can feel it happening," Christopher told them.

"Mama, Grandpa, we don't have much time," Lisa told them.

Ingrid embraced Lisa and Blake, tears in her eyes. "Oh, my sweet children."

"We're going to miss you so much," Blake told her.

"I'll be waiting for your return," Ingrid promised. "I'll count every second of every minute of every day for you."

"Well, emotional reunions are our thing after all," Blake pointed out.

They chuckled.

Christopher approached Zeus. "Father..."

Zeus chuckled. "Christopher..."

They embraced.

"Grandpa Zeus, I know it's soon, but can we give you our first hug?" Lisa asked.

"Of course you can," Zeus answered.

Lisa and Blake pulled Christopher and Zeus into a hug.

"Father, before we go, you have to tell us something," Christopher told him. "Hades. He is not going to stop until Freya loses it. You have to tell us how we can beat him."

"Together," Zeus answered. "The answer is together."

They looked at him in confusion.

ღ

Underworld

Fiery Cave

Christopher, Lisa, Blake, Cyrus and Axel gasped awake, falling to the ground. Blake's staff also fell, returning to his bracelet form, appearing on Blake's wrist. Lisa's wand, which had still been on top of Blake's staff, fell as well, returning to bracelet form, appearing on Lisa's wrist.

Tori, Saphira, Mathias, Freya, Jefferson, Grace, Rose and Henry ran closer to help. "Guys. Hey."

"What happened?" Henry asked.

"Are you guys okay?" Rose asked.

"Yeah," Blake answered.

Axel shrugged. "Possibly."

"Yes," Lisa answered.

"Yep," Cyrus answered.

Christopher sighed. "Still dead."

"You good now?" Freya asked. "You're okay?"

Axel sighed. "We're better. I guess."

Cyrus nodded. "Yeah."

"Good," Grace told them. She helped Axel stand, using magic to heal any injuries he had gotten from the Divine magic. "Are you sure you're okay, Axel?"

"Why are you worried about me, Grace?" Axel asked. "You have a lot more to worry about."

"I can worry about my family and you," Grace replied.

Axel was stunned. "You did it. I felt your power in Olympus. You shook the whole place, Grace."

Grace chuckled. "I did?" The others nodded. "Guess Rose was right. Quakes are my thing." They chuckled. Grace and Axel started to walk away a little. "I'm glad you're okay, Axel." Axel smiled, looking at Grace for a moment, placing a hand on her cheek, kissing her for the first time since their actual first kiss in 5.16. Grace kissed back sweetly and passionately, before they finally pulled away. "What was that for? Not that I'm complaining."

"My Mama reminded me to live my life the way I wanna live it while I'm alive," Axel answered.

They smiled, kissing again.

Rose helped Cyrus up. "Cyrus? How did it feel? To talk to your father?"

"It felt good, Rose," Cyrus answered. "He's okay."

Rose smiled. "You feel better to?" Cyrus nodded. "Good. I'm glad. Now you can stop beating yourself up over everything, Cyrus. And I mean every little thing you beat yourself up over. It's time for that to stop."

Cyrus chuckled. "Yes, it is. My father told me the same thing. Thank you, Rose."

Rose nodded. Rose and Cyrus embraced.

Henry and Lisa were walking together.

"So how was it?" Henry asked. "Meeting your family? Seeing your mother? Even after everything that happened to her? Seeing your grandfather for the first time?"

"Intense," Lisa answered. "Papa and Blake get a lot of their ego from my grandfather, apparently, Henry."

They laughed lightly.

"And you?" Henry asked. "You're glad you got to meet him? See your mother?" Lisa smiled, nodding. "Good. I know you felt bad for being so hard on your mother before she sacrificed herself. So I'm glad you got to see her and make up for that. Though you had nothing to make up for."

Lisa smiled slightly. "Right. Thank you, Henry."

"For what?" Henry asked.

"Always being there for me whenever I need you," Lisa answered.

Henry nodded. "Always."

Smiling, Lisa and Henry embraced with a kiss.

Woods

On a road in the woods, James, Emma and Ella were walking together.

"How much farther?" James asked.

"No further," Emma answered. "This is where Alcina and Saphira said Robin and Derek would meet us."

"Great," James told them. "So what do we do now? Rob from the rich and hope they show up?"

"Uh, no," Ella answered. "Robin and Derek will just find us."

"In the middle of the woods?" James asked skeptically.

Robin and Derek walked closer with the three babies in their carriers.

"Hello," Derek told them. "Not everyone needs magic to be stealthy. Thanks. Where's Saphira? Faye? Alcina? Tori? Mathias?"

Emma sighed. "Uh, condensed version? Zelena and Hades are on the verge of being the world's second worst power couple. Coming after the Dark One versions of Freya and Jefferson. Dark Witch and Mad Hatter."

"Regina, Alcina, Tori, Saphira, Faye and Mathias are taking care of it," Ella told them.

"Derek and I should go," Robin told them. "They're gonna need our help."

"No, no," Ella told them. "It's okay. Make sure the babies are safe. Regina, Alcina, Tori, Saphira, Faye and Mathias can handle Zelena."

James snapped on two anti-magic cuffs on Ella and Emma, drawing his gun, aiming at Derek and Robin. "Siblings. They can be a real pain, can't they?"

"Dad?" Emma asked. "What the hell?"

James smirked. "Cruella gave me some advice. Never face the Savior and Protector without one of those."

Ella realized. "James. Where's our dad?"

"Oh, he's locked up in the Sheriff's station," James answered. "I've been trailing him for some time." Cruella pulled up in her car, honking. "Figured when Snow blew this joint, and all your other friends were off busy doing something, well, that was my chance."

Cruella got out of the car, complaining. "Why is everything in the woods with you people?" James chuckled. Cruella joined James by his side, smiling. "Hello, darling. Fabulous job." Derek, Robin, Emma and Ella exchanged a weird look, looking at James and Cruella. "Mummy's very proud of you, and I will show you how much later on."

Derek made a face of disgust. "What do you want?"

"What I want is out of this dreadful place," Cruella answered. "And if Henry, Rose and Grace won't do it for us, I have to think of another way. And there is only one man who can do that for us."

"Hades?" Derek asked. "Why would Hades help you?"

"Oh, he wouldn't, unless I had the right leverage," Cruella answered. "Say, like the child of Derek and Faye, the granddaughter of the woman Hades loves." Derek glared at them, holding his daughter's carrier behind him. "Though God knows why. They're terrible things."

"Now hand her over, Derek," James told him.

Derek aimed his bow and arrow. "Not gonna happen, mate."

Derek shot James in the chest.

James pulled the arrow out of his chest, aiming his guns at Derek and Robin. "Arrows, they can't hurt me, but one pull of the triggers, well, you're not just visitors in the Underworld."

Zelena's Farmhouse

Zelena was sitting alone, holding the dead flower Hades had given her. There was a knock on the door. Zelena went to answer, revealing Cora outside with Faye.

"Hello, Zelena," Cora told her.

Zelena was in complete shock. "Mother."

"I wasn't sure you'd know who I was," Cora told her. "But Faye told me that you spent most of your life showing her her families."

Zelena got angry. "I don't know what you're doing here, but I don't need anything from you."

Faye walked inside. "We both know you've been waiting for this moment your entire life, Mother. Let's not pretend otherwise."

Zelena scoffed. "Let me guess, you brought her here to try and talk some sense into me?"

Faye didn't answer, leading them further into the house.

Flashback

Enchanted Forest

Day - Mills Home

Young Alcina, Young Regina and Young Zelena were playing around, dressed up, pretending to use magic.

"No one gets in my way and lives to tell of it," Young Zelena told them. "Regina, Alcina, you'll be sorry for this."

"Not as sorry as you'll be when your face is on fire," Young Regina told her. "Fireball!"

Young Alcina and Young Regina pretended to throw fireballs at Young Zelena, who ducked and pretended to be burned. The three sisters laughed.

Young Alcina shushed them. "Shh, not so loud. We're not even supposed to be out of bed yet."

"We don't have to stop playing, do we?" Young Zelena asked. "I'm sure your mother's going to take me home soon."

Young Regina smiled. "Of course not. We can play princesses." She opened the drawer, pulling out necklaces for her and her sisters. "Here."

Young Zelena saw the box. "What's that?"

"It's the box our mother used to keep her wand in," Young Alcina answered.

Young Zelena placed her hand on the box. "It's beautiful."

Young Zelena's magic opened the box.

Young Alcina looked at her in shock. "How did you do that?"

"What do you mean?" Young Zelena asked. "I just touched it, and it opened."

"But that box was sealed with blood magic," Young Alcina explained. "There's no way you should have been able to open it... unless..."

"Unless what?" Young Zelena asked.

"Do you think..." Young Regina trailed off. "Could we be... related?"

"Why wouldn't your mother have told us?" Young Zelena asked.

Young Regina shrugged. "I don't know. We have to ask her."

Young Regina led them out of the room, down the hall. The three sisters didn't know that Cora had been outside the room behind the wall, having heard everything.

Regina and Alcina were standing outside, listening to the conversation inside.

"So you just happened to find Cora, taking a little stroll in Hell and decided to bring her here?" Zelena asked.

"No," Faye answered. "She's, um, been in a kind of prison. Hades's version of one, anyway."

Cora, Faye and Zelena were sitting at the table.

Cora looked at Zelena. "And when Faye told me you were here, I knew I had to come."

"I know why she brought you here," Zelena told her. "To try to talk me out of it. Do Regina and Alcina have anything to do with it? Do Tori, Saphira and Mathias?"

"Do you think that Mathias, Tori and Saphira would ever forget how many times I've tried to kill them?" Cora asked. "You think Regina and Alcina would ever forget what I did to the first Henry? No, and as for stopping you, I'm the last person to do that, not when it was my doing that put you in this position in the first place."

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Zelena asked.

"I'm sure your feelings for Hades are real, but isn't it obvious?" Cora asked. "You're still trying to fill the hole in your heart I created when I abandoned you, the same reason why you created Faye."

Zelena scoffed. "I'm not interested in talking about this. I'm over it. I have been for years."

Faye scoffed. "No. You aren't. What she did left a wound that's been festering for all your life. And you created me because of it. Because you couldn't get her love. Or the love of Papa Mathias. Because you hated Mama Tori and Sister Saphira. And when I wanted to be a family with then and Aunt Belle, you punished me for it. By giving me a child of Derek's like you did for you when you created me. Knowing it would kill me. Because you thought I would abandon you like Cora did."

Zelena shook her head. "I made the deal with Freya to save your life, Faye."

"You didn't ask Freya for the deal," Faye reminded her. "She came to you."

"You want to know if I regret my decision, if after all these years, I'm sorry I gave you away?" Cora asked.

"Well, are you?" Zelena asked.

Cora nodded. "Of course I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"Then why?" Zelena asked.

Cora sighed. "I thought... it would be the best for you. I..." She chuckled without humor. "For me. And I was wrong. Don't you understand why I can't leave the Underworld yet? I thought it was Regina and Alcina, but now I know. It's all of you. You're my unfinished business."

Zelena was crying. Cora embraced Zelena and Faye. Regina and Alcina were sneaking in.

ღღ

Zelena and Faye were sitting.

Zelena was no longer crying. "I'm sorry, it's just all a bit much."

"It's all right, sweetheart," Cora told her. "Here, why don't I get you both some water?" In the other room, Regina and Alcina conjured two cups of water. Regina poured the forgetting in Zelena's glass. Cora walked in to grab the two glasses, taking them out to Zelena and Faye. "This should help."

Cora handed the glass with the forgetting potion to Zelena, and the regular water to Faye. Faye took a drink of her water.

Zelena was not fooled by their performances. "You know, it's funny. I've imagined this day a thousand times." She looked at Cora. "Finding you, hearing that you're sorry to both me and my daughter, that you really did love us. I mean, it almost feels like a dream."

"For me, too," Cora told her.

"There's just one thing that's different," Zelena told her. "See, in my dreams, your apology was genuine. I never thought you'd try to poison me." She poured her water into the fireplace. "Regina, Alcina, you can come out now." Regina and Alcina sighed, walking into the room. "Did you really think I'd believe all that drivel?"

"It wasn't drivel," Cora told her. "I know you're upset, sweetheart."

Zelena stood angrily. "I am way more than that, sweetheart!"

"Please, Zelena," Regina told her. "Let us explain."

"Explain what?" Zelena asked. "That you're trying to ruin my life again? What, you couldn't do it by yourselves, so you had to turn my daughter against me, so you went to her, Tori, Saphira and Mathias and came running to Mummy?"

"We weren't trying to ruin anything," Alcina told her.

Zelena scoffed. "Of course not. You were just doing what's best for me. You three are cut from the same dark cloth. You've never cared about what happened to me, or Faye. Any of you!"

Flashback

Enchanted Forest

Day - Mills Home

Young Regina, Young Alcina and Young Zelena walked toward Cora, while Young Zelena was holding the wand box.

"Mother?" Young Regina asked. "We've been looking for you."

Cora turned to face them. "So I see."

"Zelena, Gina and I were just playing, and..." Young Alcina trailed off.

Young Zelena showed her the box. "I opened it by accident. I wasn't trying to, I promise."

"We were just wondering," Young Alcina told her. "Doesn't that mean..."

"Yes," Cora answered. "Zelena is your sister."

The three reacted in shock and happiness.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Young Regina asked.

"I wasn't sure you'd understand," Cora answered.

"If she's our sister, shouldn't we be a family?" Young Alcina asked.

"Regina, Alcina, would that make you happy?" Cora asked, looking at Young Alcina significantly, given her other part of the family she didn't know about yet. "To be a family with those you share blood with, even if they're strangers?"

Young Regina smiled. "Yes, more than anything."

Young Alcina nodded. "Yes, please."

Cora sighed, shaking her head. "I can't tell you how disappointed that makes me."

Young Regina and Young Alcina frowned in confusion. "What?"

"Didn't you hear anything I said earlier, or did the magic just knock it right out of your heads?" Cora asked. "You can only depend on yourselves, and sometimes that means you have to make the hard decisions."

"But she saved our lives," Young Regina told her.

"Do you know what'll happen if people find out about her?" Cora asked. "Everything I've been trying to do for you... good marriages, chances to be royalty, it'll all be over."

"But we don't care about any of that," Young Alcina told her.

"Well, I do," Cora told them, gesturing for men to walk in. "One day I hope you'll be strong enough to make decisions like this on your own. Until you are, I'll just have to make them for you."

Two men walked in to take Young Zelena away.

Young Alcina tried to stop them. "Mother, please, don't do this."

Young Zelena was crying. "I promise I'll be good!"

Cora looked at the men. "Take her away."

Young Zelena struggled. "No! No! Regina! Alcina!"

Young Regina and Young Alcina tried to stop the men from taking them, but Cora used magic to keep them back.

Young Alcina cried in anger and sadness. "Don't take her! No! Stop!"

Young Zelena tried to get free but couldn't. "Alcina! Regina! No! No! No! No! No! No!"

The men took Young Zelena away.

Young Regina cried. "Don't worry, Zelena! No matter what she does, we're sisters! And nothing can change that! We will find you! I promise!"

Cora walked toward Young Regina and Young Alcina with a forgetting potion. "Actually, you won't, because you won't remember any of this ever happened, and she won't remember you, either."

Now

Underworld

Zelena's Farmhouse

Zelena glared at Regina and Alcina. "I can't believe that I thought that things could be different between us. All you ever care about is yourselves. No matter what I do, I will never be on the same side as you!"

Zelena formed a fireball.

"You know what?" Alcina asked. "You're right." She formed a fireball in her hand. "Because don't forget that the reason my half-brother is dead is because of you. In fact, the reason why any of us are down here is because of you. Because you pushed Freya and Jefferson over the edge when they were the Dark Ones and led to Freya having to kill Jefferson and the reason why we all came for him. And you've never shown remorse for what you did. You never even told me or anyone else that you were sorry."

Regina formed a fireball. "You want to fireball this place? Let's do it."

Faye used her Dragon powers to put out the fireballs, using her Siren Song to stop them from fighting. "Enough. Aunt Gina, don't steal Tori, Saphira and Mathias's and my motto."

Cora looked at Zelena and Alcina. "If the two of you should hate anyone, it's me. After everything I did to the both of you."

"This isn't about you, Mother," Regina told her.

Cora sighed. "But it should be." She looked from Zelena to Regina and Alcina. "There was a time when you all cared about each other."

"What are you talking about?" Regina asked.

"There's a chapter in our family history you've all forgotten," Cora answered. "It was a long time ago, and it's time that you remembered."

Cora used her power to give the memories back to Zelena, Regina and Alcina.

Young Zelena: I'm Zelena. What are your names.

Young Alcina: I'm Alcina. This is Regina.

Young Zelena: (screaming as she was being taken away) Regina! Alcina! No! No! Alcina! Regina!

Having remembered now, Zelena, Regina and Alcina were in shock, crying. Faye looked at them in concern, walking closer.

"You see?" Cora asked. "You were sisters once, who loved and needed each other. I thought that love... any kind of love... was weakness. I was a fool. Regina, Alcina, Faye, look at you. You stayed here to help your family and friends. And that's the strength you got from the people you love, not from me."

"Thank you, Mother," Regina told her.

"My Zelena..." Cora trailed off. "I meant what I said earlier. I am so sorry. Sorry I never gave you the family you deserved, or the love. I'm sorry that because of me, you and Faye had to live the lives that you did. I should have been there for you, instead of wasting my life destroying people. Maybe now you won't have to make the same mistakes I did."

"What if it's too late for me?" Zelena asked.

Faye shook her head. "It wasn't too late for me, Mother. Which means it's not too late for you."

"Alcina, I'm sorry that I kept you away from Priscilla, Jefferson, Grace and even Rumple," Cora told her. "I'm sorry I almost killed them to try to keep you. I was wrong. And if it wasn't for me treating Zelena the way I had, then maybe your brother would still be alive. I was wrong about family. You never stop being connected, right up to the end, and sometimes, even after."

All of the Mills girls, including Zelena and Faye, were crying, holding hands.

Docks

The three babies were sitting in their carriers. James and Cruella were holding Emma, Ella, David and Robin captive by the edge of the dock nearby the River of Lost Souls.

"You know, killing us is not gonna help you get out of here, Cruella," Emma told her.

"Oh, you're right," Cruella agreed. "But sending you to eternal torment, that's just a juicy bonus."

James smiled, aiming his guns. "I really wish I could say this was gonna be quick and painless, but..."

James grabbed Ella and Emma by their arms, aiming his guns, turning them to the water.

Emma and Ella struggled. "No."

David arrived, punching James in the face, making him let go of his daughters, hitting him in the head, making him fall, making him drop the guns. "How's that for quick?"

Emma, Robin and Derek ran to check on the babies, while Cruella made a run for a gun on the ground.

Killian stepped on the gun to stop her. "I'll take that, love. It's not like you can use it, anyway."

Cruella sighed, running off, hiding behind a bin.

Ella ran up to Killian in relief, as they both held each other's arms. "Killian."

"Looks like we're just in time," Killian told them, embracing Ella.

James laughed, standing, looking at David. "Whoo. Oh, that was quite an escape, David. Quite frankly, I didn't think you had it in you."

"The cell at the station was the last place you should've left me," David replied. "You don't think I know how to break out of my own cell?"

James circled around David. "So what? Now you can swoop in and play hero?"

"That's up to you, James," David told him. "Neither one of us wanted to through what we did. I was angry about it, too, but it doesn't mean it has to end this way. We're family." James laughed. "I can help you move on, and I can help you find some peace."

James pointed at David. "Yes. Yes, you can, because killing you is my unfinished business."

James tried to punch David. David ducked, kneeing James in the stomach twice. James threw David down.

Emma and Ella looked at him worriedly. "Dad!"

David pushed himself up. "Ella. Emma. I got this."

James smirked, tilting his head, trying to kick David. David used his arms to block the move, standing, pushing James back, punching him in the face. James tried to punch him. David ducked, punching James in the stomach, then the face. They tried to punch each other, blocking the other's moves, grabbing each other to try to flip to the ground. David broke free, punching James in the face, kneeing him in the stomach, kicking him in the chest, making him fall.

Cruella called from where she was hiding. "Jimmy! Jimmy!"

James glanced at Cruella before looking at David, pulling out his knife.

David held out a hand to stop him. "James, wait."

James stood, yelling, running at David to try and stab him. David evaded the knife, grabbing James, turning to throw him into the River of Lost Souls, turning him into one. Cruella made a run for it. Robin, Derek, Emma, David, Ella and Killian ran to the edge of the docks to look into the water. Robin, Derek and Emma were holding the babies.

"Are the babies okay?" Killian asked.

"Yeah," Derek answered. "Yes. They're fine."

Emma looked at David. "Are you okay?"

David nodded unconvincingly. "Yeah."

"You did what you had to," Ella told him. "You know that, right?"

David shook his head. "No, there had--there had to be another way."

"There wasn't," Emma told him. "Dad. Sometimes people just cannot ever move on."

Ella sighed. "I know. It's..."

David looked down. "Despite everything, he was my brother."

Emma and Ella embraced David from either side.

Fiery Cave

Regina, Alcina, Faye, Zelena and Cora were here.

"How did this work with Henry?" Cora asked.

"He just crossed the bridge," Regina answered. "It took him to where he belonged. Into the light."

"Will that work for her?" Alcina asked.

Cora turned to look at her family. "Whatever my fate is, I deserve it."

Regina shook her head. "Mother... you don't have to."

Cora nodded. "I can face it. Knowing that I brought all of you together, that's... that's all the peace I need."

Alcina was upset, even after everything. "Mother..."

"Just promise me you'll hold on to each other," Cora told them. They nodded. Cora looked at Alcina. "In the real Storybrooke, I never got the chance to say I'm sorry." She looked at Regina. "We never got the chance to say goodbye." She looked at Zelena and Faye. "And we never even got to say hello." All crying, they embraced Cora goodbye. "Oh, I love you all."

Wiping away her tears, Cora walked across the bridge, surrounded by fire. Once the fire faded, Olympus opened. Cora was awed by the light, turning to look at her daughters and granddaughter one last time, smiling, crossing the path to move on into the light. Regina and Alcina were crying, holding onto each other. Faye and Zelena were embracing as well, crying. Alcina and Faye were holding hands, as were Regina and Zelena.

"I've waited my whole life to have a mother, and now she's gone," Zelena told them.

Faye nodded in understanding. "Oh, it's okay. It's okay."

"I think... I think you have another love to find," Regina told her.

"What are you saying?" Zelena asked.

"Hades," Regina answered. "Go to him."

"You trust me?" Zelena asked.

Alcina shrugged. "Maybe you can change him, too."

Zelena smiled. "Faye... Regina, Alcina, thank you."

They all embraced, and the light to Olympus disappeared behind them.

Street

Faye and Blake were walking together.

Faye was holding her baby. "We both had a busy day it seems."

"Yep," Blake agreed.

"Heard your spell took quite the toll on you and the others," Faye told him. "Your sister, father, Cyrus and Axel. Even Grace and Rose. Are you sure you're okay?"

Blake smirked. "Are you worried about me, lollipop?"

Faye scoffed teasingly. "You wish, sweetie. Anyone who goes after my baby again will see a very fiery side of this religion. What is it with religions and setting things on fire, anyway? Oh, that's not religion. That's just being a Matthews."

Blake chuckled. "Right. Hey, can I ask you something, Faye?"

"Sure," Faye answered.

"You've been dealing with insanity all your life because of the way your mother and Gold created you," Blake told her. "How do you control it, so we can help Freya control hers, and help Jefferson control it better when we bring him back to life and their madness is balanced again?"

Faye shook her head. "Blake, my insanity is something that is actually natural, something that doesn't control me. Freya and Jefferson's? Their madness is magical because of the spell that Freya did as a child that linked her mind with Jefferson's and created the whole shared madness thing. I can't help with that."

Blake sighed. "Well, I see why using their magic as Dark Ones made the madness worse, then."

Faye nodded. "Magical madness. I would hate to have that."

"At least yours is mostly normal," Blake told her. "It means you didn't have to suffer as much as Freya and Jefferson did, and still do."

Faye smiled slightly. "Right."

Faye and Blake smiled, sharing a sweet kiss. Saphira and Derek walked up to them.

"Can I have a look at my niece?" Saphira asked.

Faye nodded, handing the baby over to Saphira. "And possibly your future stepdaughter if you ever managed to marry Derek."

"Shut up, Faye," Derek told her.

Saphira chuckled. "Derek. You okay?"

"Yeah," Derek answered. "Saphira, I'm fine. Everyone had a busy day today, but we all have busy days everyday." He doted on his daughter while Saphira was holding her. "I'm just glad the babies are okay."

Saphira smiled. "Me too."

Saphira and Derek embraced. Faye and Blake smiled.

Granny's Diner

(Song:) I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire - The Ink Spots

Hades was setting up a date for him and Zelena, blowing on candles to light them, starting the music.

ღ

Outside

Zelena walked up to the diner, seeing Hades, smiling.

Gold appeared. "It would appear love is blooming. And here was me thinking nothing bloomed in the Underworld."

"What do you want?" Zelena asked.

"Came to see a woman about a curse," Gold told her. "A pesky sleeping curse, which you gave my wife."

"If Belle preferred eternal slumber to one more moment with you, that's hardly my fault," Zelena replied. "I'd say her judgment's improving. Believe it or not, I gave her that sleeping curse to protect herself because she's Faye's aunt. Figured that would get my daughter, Tori, Saphira and Mathias to forgive me, and after a day with her, Regina, Alcina and Cora, we all had quite the day of forgiveness, actually."

Gold nodded. "Is that right? Alcina actually forgave you, for everything? Including what you did to Priscilla, Jefferson and Baelfire?"

"Not that far yet," Zelena answered. "But maybe we can get to that point. And you can't hurt me. Not if you want Alcina to forgive you for what you yourself did to Freya and Jefferson and Grace, and oh, to Ally, Robin, their babies. Derek. Tori, Saphira, Mathias and Faye. Not to mention Faye and Derek's baby. I may have a complicated relationship with my sisters, but if you want forgiveness from both your daughters, you're not gonna get it if you hurt me."

"Whoever said anything about hurting you?" Gold asked. "Rather than just taking you. Funny thing is, I had a deal on the table, one I hadn't considered taking until recently, when I found out about your love affair with Hades, and me and another member of my family realized that we could use you to save Priscilla and the rest of our family after all."

Peter walked closer.

"Who's this?" Zelena asked.

"Well, he's what I like to call a loophole," Gold answered. "Zelena, meet my father. Priscilla and Alcina's grandfather. Peter Pan."

Zelena looked at Peter in shock, having heard of him, and knowing now she was in danger with both Peter and Gold here.

"I hear you're wicked," Peter told her. "Well, I'm much worse."

Peter threw a bag over Zelena's head.
