21. Homecoming

Complete story — includes the ending

Celebrations over the breaking of the curse are cut short when Wish Realm Rumplestiltskin sends Jacinda and Lucy to the Wish Realm and attempts to blackmail Henry into obtaining the Dark One's dagger for him. Henry, Regina, Rumple, and Rogers travel to the Wish Realm to find Jacinda and Lucy. The group is split after crossing through, with Henry and Regina sent to the Dark Castle while Rumple and Rogers are sent to the Wish Realm's version of Rumple's old home. Henry obtains the Wish Realm's version of the Author's pen in the hopes of freeing them, but Wish Rumple reveals that he was after the pen and not the dagger. He then presents it to Wish Henry, who is willing to help him rewrite some stories after losing his mother and grandparents. He ends up erasing the Guardian's powers. Wish Rumple then sends Henry, Rumple, and Rogers into the snowglobe. Regina is left behind, as Wish Henry desires revenge after their last encounter. Meanwhile, Alice senses that her family is in danger, and Tiana helps her and Robin obtain a magic bean after regaining her confidence as queen of her people. Alice and Robin first make a pit stop to find help, driving through the portal into Storybrooke.
