Complete story — includes the ending

In the past, Mr. Gold, still dealing with the loss of Belle, is challenged by Facilier to rid himself of the Dagger by seeking out the Guardian. When Gold finds Alice and believes her to be the person he seeks, he tests out the theory on Facilier by pulling his heart out, but Rumple has a change of heart, withholding his transfer of power to Alice so she can be happy with Robin, not dealing with the burden he carries. In the present, Nick’s death has Weaver suspecting Samdi of stealing the dagger, but Samdi says he had no involvement with taking it. Weaver betrays Roni by using the magic needed to save Henry in order to track down the dagger, which leads to Tilly, whose first date with Margot is distracted by the voices from the dagger itself. Henry discovers that Nick was telling him the truth about the blood test results that confirmed him as Lucy’s father and shares the results with a stunned Jacinda.
