TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] I'll have something that will make Regina do my bidding... Forever. The Apprentice: You have forsaken your holy duty. You must be punished. Emma: Now, what do you say we let out The Author? Think about this. I'm not worried about it. Are you? Oh! We have a lot of questions. Hey! [SCENE_BREAK] [ Storybrooke ] [SCENE_BREAK] (Into the woods.) David: The Author, where is he? Emma: We lost him. Mary Margaret: We know him, Emma. Emma: What? Mary Margaret: We met him a long time ago, before you were born. He, um... David: Manipulated us. It's because of him we were put on the path to causing Maleficent to lose her child. Mary Margaret: It's true. Emma: No. No, what's true is no matter how you were manipulated, you still did what you did, and you lied to me about it! You've been lying to me about everything! About you, about me... David: That's not the case. It's one incident from our past. Emma: Don't downplay it. Mary Margaret: Well, we've changed. We've tried to become the parents you deserve. Emma: I am only the saviour because you altered the entire state of my being at the expense of someone else's soul. David: You're right. What we did, it was wrong. But we... We didn't fully understand what we were doing. We acted out of fear. We're human. Emma: Yeah, well, right now I don't care. None of that matters now. We have to find that author before Gold does. (Isaac cuts a branch of wood to make a pen.) Mr Gold: Well, I'm not much of a writer, but I do know something about magic quills. Isaac: Such as? Mr Gold: Well, for starters, they must be sculpted from the wood of enchanted trees, which, unfortunately for you, is not an attribute any of the timber in Storybrooke possesses. Isaac: Damn
SUMMARY:
Cruella is determined to seek revenge on Isaac (the Author), by kidnapping Henry and forcing Emma and Regina to kill him, but it is later revealed that Gold is aware of his past with Cruella, and explains that this encounter will lead to Emma's descent into Darkness. When Isaac is confronted by David and Mary Margaret, he tells them that Cruella will be the reason for Emma's transformation; however, it's too late as, Emma kills Cruella while saving Henry. Meanwhile, back in the 1920s in London, Cruella, who was kept prisoner by her mother, meets Isaac, who vows to take her away from her mother. But when her mother reveals the truth about Cruella to Isaac, the consequences take a toll on both Isaac and Cruella for the rest of their lives.
