TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] Emma: Killian, we're here to help you. We just can't find you. Where are you? Meg: In an underground prison. Belle: The Underworld. Mr Gold: I'll only be gone for a day. Belle: Come back to me. Mr Gold: I always do. Peter Pan: And those people you came down with... maybe one of them doesn't make the trip back, but your dear old dad does. Mr Gold: Not interested. Peter Pan: Not yet. Hades: For every soul your friends free, one of them is going to have to stay. You get to decide who. [SCENE_BREAK] [ Present. Underworld ] [SCENE_BREAK] (Hook is still sitting on the ground in Hades's throne room, and Hades is standing in front him, waiting for Hook to choose who stays in the Underworld) Hades: (Sighs) Oh, come on. All you need to do is choose three of your friends to stay here. Carve their name. W-what's the problem? Is it the chisel? So unwieldy for the one-handed. Or writer's block? Hook: (Throws the chisel on the ground) I'm not doing it. Hades: I must say... I'm not angry. I'm disappointed. (Walks to Hook and leans down) And on second thought... I'm angry. I guess it's off to solitary. (Grabs Hook by the hair, who screams in pain, before dragging him to his feet, leading Hook to the River of Lost Souls, where a boat awaits) Now, listen carefully.

SUMMARY:
In the past, Rumplestiltskin is forced to promise his second child to a healer when Baelfire falls ill from a snakebite; however, after becoming the Dark One, he kills the healer to void the deal. In the present, Hades grows frustrated with Hook's refusal to chisel three names down onto the headstones, signifying those who will remain in the Underworld to replace Prince Henry Mills, Hercules, and Megaera. He threatens to drop Hook into the River of Lost Souls. Mr. Gold finds Milah, the ex-wife he killed, convincing her to help him and Emma find Hook. However, while Emma rescues Hook, Hades offers Gold the chance to leave in exchange for destroying the boat; Gold blasts Milah out into the River of Lost Souls, hoping to keep the deal secret. Later, when Regina attempts to split Emma's heart in two to revive Hook, she finds a protection spell stopping her. It turns out Hades has chosen Emma Swan, Regina Mills, and Snow White to replace the souls they freed. Also, Hades reveals that he's taken on the debt Gold owes the healer; it turns out Belle is now pregnant. Now, Rumplestiltskin must now work for Hades; otherwise, Hades will take his unborn child.
