And to have me means you have to give me what I want. And we're gonna repay her by destroying her chance at a happy ending? But now... But that would mean...
Mr. Gold: The Sorcerer imprisoned him in the book. Come on. Do come in. Emma: If they did, and he's still in there, he still has the ability to alter the book, to alter the course of things. Even if it is to save our own, it's... Wrong. For all we know, she lied about Regina having the dark curse. Gold's cabin. Gold's shop. Good luck to you, then. Hook: August is awake. I had to flee. I went to her for help with Emma, with our secret. Infinite Forest. It's as dangerous as she is. Mary Margret's apartment. Mr. Gold: Follow her, and do what's necessary to convince the boy. Mr. Gold: No. Mr. Gold: This is rubbish. Present time. The Savior isn't about to let it out of her sight. The job has gone back eons, from the man who watched shadows dance across cave walls and developed an entire philosophy, to playwrights who tell tales in poetry, to a man named Walt. The very person we fought so hard to save. This door has been sealed by it. We just know that she won't get it from The Author. We... have to tell Emma the truth. When Regina showed me my heart after Cora... after I killed Cora... My heart was dark. Where's the real one? Your parents are with him. [Emma uses the key on the page and the Author escapes.]

Summary: Emma, still upset upon learning the truth from her parents, searches for the Author, who is later found by Gold. Nine weeks earlier, while in New York City, Gold confronts Robin Hood, who is about to move into Baelfire/Neal's apartment with Marian and Roland. When Gold experiences a heart attack, he enlists Robin to steal an elixir to save him, in exchange for letting Robin stay in the apartment, but after Robin completes the task, Gold discovers that the elixir was switched by Zelena. Following her apparent death, Zelena had traveled back in time (along with Emma and Hook, via her spirited soul) and killed Marian, before using the Six-Leaf Clover of Oz to take on her current form. She then returned and has been posing as Marian, to steal away Robin from Regina, and to make Gold suffer. Now, she wants Gold to have the Author released to give her a happy ending, in exchange for the real elixir. In the present, Zelena reveals on the phone that she is alive to Regina, who is left with no choice but to have Emma become dark in order to save Robin. Back in the past in Sherwood Forest, Rumplestiltskin enlists Robin Hood to travel to Oz to steal the same elixir from Zelena.
