Storybrooke

Years earlier, Hook is training Henry to defend himself with swords. When Emma congratulates him Hook catches Henry off guard, and Henry goes to cool off feeling that he won't be appreciated. Emma and Hook believe that Henry will make a name for himself in the future. After the two kiss, Hook shows Emma a magic bottle that can act as a signal to call anyone in distress and he throws it in the ocean.

New Enchanted Forest

Years later, Henry is chased by Lady Tremaine and her guards, who want to pin the prince's murder on him. When she does catch up with Henry, Lady Tremaine demands the whereabouts of Cinderella and the glass slipper. Henry refuses and uses the bottle to summon Emma, Regina, and Hook, but he is soon taken prisoner and is later tied to a bed in the palace. Lady Tremaine gives Drizella orders to torture Henry for information on where he hid the slipper by using her dagger to threaten him, only to be interrupted by Hook and Regina, who show up to stop the guard and Drizella respectively. While Henry is happy to see Regina, he asks Hook where Emma is. Regina gives a scorned look to Hook for lying to Henry about why Emma didn't come.

Regina tries to help Henry out by using a locator spell. However, she discovers that her magic doesn't work in this realm. Hook, however, can smell saltwater and suspects that pirates are not far, and it may lead them to Cinderella. At a tavern, Hook is met by a very drunken individual who happens to be the wish realm version of Killian Jones. The unrecognizable Hook tells his lookalike about how their stories differ, except that in this realm he's still looking for his Emma. The drunken Hook then knocks out his lookalike and draws his blood, as he had made a deal with Lady Tremaine to help her find Henry. Using the Fairy Godmother's wand, Lady Tremaine transformed the drunken Hook into an exact lookalike of the Enchanted Forest character.

Meanwhile, in a cabin, Regina is cooking a meal for Henry, who is asking her questions about what was happening in Storybrooke but she avoids them as she lamented that hers isn't great. The wish realm Hook soon joins them and suggests they all return to Storybrooke. He gives Henry a forged note from Cinderella, but when the faux Hook goes after Henry to console him, Emma arrives out of a portal and is ready to tell Henry the news that she's pregnant. This suddenly makes the faux Hook extremely upset and he runs off into the woods and back to the tavern, just in time for real Hook to attack him. The faux Hook then takes out a dagger and is stabbed by the real Hook. When the real Hook asks why, the faux Hook tells him that he wanted to find his daughter, who he believed is a prisoner. He hoped that Emma would help him. When Emma arrives, the real Hook asks Emma to save his lookalike, but Emma's magic doesn't work in this realm either, so she convinces the faux Hook to use his belief. This works, as Emma's magic briefly returns, allowing her to heal the faux Hook.

As Henry congratulates Emma and the real Hook on their future, he convinces the faux Hook to stay and offers to help him find his daughter. Regina decides to stay in order to find her happy ending.
