TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] Regina: Arthur knows we freed Merlin and he's really not happy about it. I've been waiting for you, Emma. Guinevere: Take this traitor to the dungeon where he belongs. Regina: The Crimson Crown. It's used to communicate through magical barriers. He must have been trying to communicate with Merlin. Can you free Emma from the darkness? Sure. ( Groans ) How long do you think you can hold my heart and threaten me? As long as it takes for me to get what I want. The only one who can get me that sword is you. I can't be the hero you want. What are you doing? Reminding you what you have to fight for. [SCENE_BREAK] [ Camelot - 6 weeks ago ] [SCENE_BREAK] (In the dungeon, a flash makes knights blind. Hook and David enters, they fight against them and win. Merlin uses his powers on a knight to knock out him.) Hook: Not bad for a bloke who spent the last thousand years in a tree. Merlin: Just like riding a bike. David: Well, it won't be long before Arthur knows we're here. How do you know what a bike is? Merlin: Do you really think all my prophecies came true because of luck? This way. (Merlin stops the group. Knights walk through the room.) Hook: Bloody hell. You really can see the future. Merlin: Bits and pieces, yeah. [SCENE_BREAK] (The group arrives to Lancelot's cell.) Lancelot: Charming? David: It's okay. Mary Margaret and I are no longer under Arthur's control. Lancelot: How did you break his thrall over you? Hook: They didn't, mate. Merlin: I did. Lancelot: Merlin. Merida: What about me, now? You here to free me, too? Hook: Merida? David: How did you end up in there? Merida: Long story. But after what your daughter did to me, letting me out is the least you can do. Hook: Aye. She
SUMMARY:
In Camelot, Merida enlists Belle on a mission to save her brothers from the United Clans by using a spell to battle the clans, but Belle believes that her faith in fate should be enough to make Merida brave. In Storybrooke, Emma tries to force Merida to kill Belle so she can make Gold heroic. When Gold finally realizes that Belle sees him as a coward, Gold brings out his bravery by defeating Merida after the archer turns into a bear. Gold then releases Excalibur and places it at Emma's feet but tells her that he is the hero now. At the same time Emma offers Zelena a deal while the residents discovers Arthur's deception, as well as discovering a message from Merlin with help from Henry.
