TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] I'm Emma, by the way. Lily. While your precious Robin thinks it's his wide-eyed wife, it's actually me. One phone call from me, and your beloved dies at the hands of your sister. Now forget all this and run along home. So, I'm headed to New York now. And if you breathe one word of this to Zelena, I take this heart and squeeze. Mary Margaret: Cruella can't kill anyone. David: Emma doesn't know. Which means Gold wants her to... (Whoosh) Aah! [SCENE_BREAK] [ The Infinity Forest - Past ] [SCENE_BREAK] (The Apprentice meets the Sorcerer.) The Sorcerer: What brings you here? The Apprentice: The Author... He has violated the rules. He has changed things. The saviour... He made me channel her potential for darkness into Maleficent's child. There must be a way to undo it. The Sorcerer: I'm afraid not. What's done is done, my apprentice. The Apprentice: But what now of the girls, their fates? The Sorcerer: Remain entwined, as they always were and always shall be. The Apprentice: Of course. The Sorcerer: Our concern now is the Author. The Apprentice: I have taken care of that, master. Our mistake has been rectified. He is in the book, where he can no longer alter our world... Only record what happens. The Apprentice: You must see to it there is no more damage. The Author must never be allowed to toy with fate again. [SCENE_BREAK] [ Storybrooke ] [SCENE_BREAK] (At Cruella's funerals.) Isaac: I'll miss her. Furs and all, I'll miss her. She was good to me... In her way. Made me who I am. Mr Gold: Well, someone had to die at the saviour's hands. Isaac: Did they? Mr Gold: We won't have what we need to rewrite the book, to secure our happy endings, until Ms. Swan

(April 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Lily is finally reunited with Maleficent in Storybrooke, but Lily still desires vengeance against Mary Margaret and David, even though Maleficent decided to forgive them. At the same time, Isaac informs Gold that he needs Emma's darkness for the ink to write the stories, which leads to Regina securing his services in exchange for obtaining the darkness-infused blood, while Gold passes out, due to his dying heart. As Regina plots to do away with Zelena, she finds the means to do so in Lily, and she cuts her skin to obtain Lily's blood, which contains the darkness transferred from Emma. Lily's anger over this action causes her to transform into a dragon, which leads to a confrontation with Mary Margaret, and Maleficent intervening to convince her that she wants to make up for lost time. She succeeds, as Lily reverts back to human form, and agrees to stay in Storybrooke for one week with Maleficent, while Emma finally forgives Mary Margaret and David. At the asylum, Regina gloats to Zelena about having Isaac write her out of existence, but when Zelena accuses Regina of being like their mother, Cora, Regina decides to spare Zelena's life for now. However, Isaac disappears and returns to Gold, who orders Isaac to write a new story that will alter the destiny of everyone involved, in which the villains will win. Back in the Enchanted Forest, before the first Curse, Cora returns to help Regina seek love, but her interference and influence to ensure that Regina will have an heir to the kingdom results in Regina taking a potion that leaves her infertile.
