Emma: You don't have to stop me from going after Gold. He is a sanctimonious blowhard who thinks he's better than all the other thieving bastards because he steals from the rich... To give to the poor and won't shut up about it. Henry. Henry: Cora. His name was Daniel. I destroy everything that I touch. I mean, the story with this drawing in it, from my... Well, a-a little experimental writing I did for another book that I never got the chance to write. Isaac: Absolutely. Isaac: By the way, I-I was only working with Rumplestiltskin because he was able to protect me. Isaac: Here. Isaac: Right. Isaac: Whoa. It has to governed by her dark impulses. It's time Villains finally win. Let's work on what we deserve. Mr Gold: No, but Rumplestiltskin can. Now turn around and meet him. Regina: "Vanishing in a cloud of smoke, the Author slips away with the ink to where... Mr. Gold awaits." Regina: Oh, but he is. Regina: Oh, but it doesn't really matter.

Henry tracks down Isaac and discovers that Isaac has become a best-selling author. When Isaac refuses to undo everything (and since he no longer is the Author, having violated the Author's Code), Henry uses a key that sends him and Isaac into the alternate universe. There, in order to undo Isaac's work, Henry has to convince a "Snow White" version of Regina to stop Robin Hood from marrying Zelena, while trying to rescue Emma, who is held captive in the tower by an "Evil Queen" version of Snow White. Henry and Hook help Emma escape the tower and must race against time to make sure that Robin doesn't marry Zelena. However, Isaac blackmails Rumplestiltskin into stopping Emma, but Regina would sacrifice herself after Rumplestiltskin killed her. Since Issac has lost his authority as an Author, the power now transfers to Henry. Using Regina's blood, he reverts all of Issac's villainous work and sends everyone back to Storybrooke. The Apprentice offers Henry a chance to become the Author, but he turns it down, snapping the pen. The Apprentice also frees an unconscious Gold from the Darkness in his heart by sending it into the Sorcerer's Hat. This purifies Gold's heart and severs his link to the Dagger in the process. However, the Darkness escapes, attacking the Apprentice. Emma is able to drive out the Darkness with her light magic, but the Apprentice has been fatally wounded, and warns them that only Merlin, the Sorcerer, can prevent the Darkness from destroying everything. The Darkness eventually reappears and attacks Regina, but Emma sacrifices herself and tethers her soul to the Darkness, vanishes in the crisis, leaving behind the Dagger with her name on it.
