A long time ago: Elsa and Anna’s parents are in a storm and their boat is sinking. The queen rushes to write a message in a bottle for their girls to find. The king doesn’t think they can find it but the queen is desperate for them to understand why they (the parents) left.



Arendelle: Elsa/Anna SDCC sneak peek

SB: Elsa gets out of barn and sees she’s in the SB forest and sees the sign and the road



Modern Day: Emma runs out after Regina at the diner. She’s angry that once again someone’s heroism ruins her happy ending. Emma is sorry for what happened but not sorry she saved a life. Regina says the past was someone diff and she worked hard to change. Says Emma shouldn’t have interfered and should’ve left her dead but Emma isn’t sorry for saving considering Regina is the one who killed her. Regina looks surprised. (Forgot the rest sorry dudes)



Robin comes out w Marian and Roland. Wants to show Marian that Regina has changed. Snowing + baby come out of the diner and hook follows hearing the commotion. Snow asks if Regina is ok and David says well no one was incinerated.



Marian is shocked at all of their reactions bc this is the evil queen and she’s done cruel things blah blah what’s wrong w you all etc. “she’s a monster” Regina’s hand is about to fireball her but walks away instead (I THINK MIGHT BE WRONG) Henry is worried and asks what’s going on then Emma moves to go after her but hook stops her. Tells her to give Regina space.



Grumpy and sleepy are driving home and sleepy is DD which he’s ironically grumpy about. Falls asleep at the wheel and grumpy is trying to control the car when Elsa stumbles out of the woods and accidentally freezes them



Elsa in SB freezing things. She’s having trouble controlling her powers. She’s leaving a trail of ice.



Anna and Elsa flashback about the surprise - Elsa gets her something borrowed by finding their mother’s wedding dress for Anna. Then she gives Anna a snowflake necklace for her something new. As Anna tries on the dress, Elsa looks around and finds a diary. She’s emotionally affected bc snow starts to fall around her. Anna comes out and sees Elsa and Elsa ends up running out, blaming herself for their parents’ death



Rumbelle parked at graveyard. Rumple talks to Neal’s grave. Has a childhood story how during ogre wars bae had been scared but rumple promised him (something I forgot - that he’d be okay or he was there to protect him?) and bae smiled - making rumple feel like he was a man and he could be a parent. (Said some other stuff) he was fine until he found the dagger then belle changed things for him, found love, became better. But acknowledges that once again he’s started something on a lie and he can’t do that again. Pledges to not forget Neal’s heroism and to be better.



Robin shows up at Regina’s office. Believes she’s changed. Promises Regina they are real, his feelings “were – are real” he also had a past too but he changed. Made a vow to Marian and he may be a thief but he has a code. Regina realizes he’s picking Marian and robin is truly sorry then leaves.



Regina is upset and breaks something w her anger. She looks up at a mirror, then makes a visit to the basement of her mental ward to find Mirror. She has someone standing in the way of her happy ending and she needs to get rid of her. Regina meets w sidney in her mausoleum? He’s all sappy and crap that he knew she left him all those years for a reason and that she’d never forget him blah blah dumbo and Regina’s like uh yeah sure



I forgot if this part is here or where —-> Regina decides she needs to go back in time to change the past and needs Sidney to do some digging bc she needs to know when Emma went so she can go back and kill Marian before Emma can save her and he asks to kill her? Then he realizes that Regina has no idea who Marian is and she killed too many to remember - “can you blame me? She’s so vanilla” (I eyerolled but w/e) Sidney doesn’t know how bc he doesn’t have magic so Regina turns him back into a mirror and he freaks out then she rolls her eyes and says it’s just temp and he kinda pouts then Regina’s like mirror mirror on the wall who do I want to kill the most? And it’s a flashback to when Marian wouldn’t tell Regina where snow was and she said Regina wouldn’t do such cruel things if she had a family or love and that she’s a monster. Sidney’s like is that what you wanted



Belle leads rumple to an unclaimed house in the middle of nowhere (made me realize idk where he lives - in the shop? Also why is this abandoned house fully furnished and not covered in dust? Unless belle just had moolah and time up the wazoo) she shows him around and loves the new place. Rumple freezes belle and replaces the fake dagger w the real one. He won’t lie anymore. Then unfreezes and belle walks away when Rumple finds a fancy object that he recognizes. She pulls him into the ballroom from the commercial. Rumple says they’ve been married for almost a day and they haven’t had their first dance THEN SOME SLICK FANCY MAGICAL MOVES like damn rumple’s got style. He snaps his fingers and they change into the iconic costumes and tale as old as time plays as they dance



Next day! Charmings are walking down the street and charming’s like maybe we should’ve named him baelfire? Anyways they talk about Regina. Emma can’t get a hold of her and Henry offers to try. They’re worried her silence means she’s plotting (ding ding ding) but Emma rushes to reassure Henry that she wouldn’t and he says she wouldn’t she’s come so far.



Henry and charming go somewhere idk. Snow and emma talk about how Henry is adjusting well to getting his memories back along w both his moms and their new boys. Emma rushes to correct her mama like whoa wait what no avoid avoid. Snow is like disbelieving. Like for reals Emma? Then emma clarifies she doesn’t know what they are bc she’s too busy w Regina and all that that she hasn’t had a chance to think or w/e. Snow’s like so you’re avoiding and Emma denies then hook runs up to say the mausoleum is clear so Regina isn’t there. Then EMMA kinda casually awkwardly dismisses him w a polite thanks and hook immediately catches on - swan are you avoiding me (all the charmings win a million bucks today)



Emma asks snow for a min so snow w some sass stops her stroller and backs backwardly is that a word it’s now a word. Emma says she’s not but she really is avoiding and she’s just been busy and hook’s like there’s always a crisis but you can’t stop living life or you’ll miss it or something like that I can’t remember all this shit okay?!



LOOKS LIKE THEY CUT THE FLIRTY HOOK MOVING CLOSER SCENE



Mister grumpy runs in w his excellent timing and says someone froze him and sleepy last night and they woke up in a meat locker



Elsa and Anna flashback to Anna running in her wedding dress which did not rip or dirty it in the forest looking for Elsa who’s still snowing herself. Shows her the diary and it says that the parents left bc of Elsa’s terrible powers so Elsa blames herself for them being scared of her and that’s why they left them (the girls) bc she’s a monster. Anna doesn’t believe it and has faith their parents didn’t and that Elsa isn’t a monster. They go find the trolls bc Anna thinks they’ll know.



CS follow Elsa’s trail. She runs into a factory looking place and hides. Her fear gets worse bc the piles of ice turn into a snow monster and hook goes well that’s new. Elsa finds a newspaper w belle and gold’s wedding.



Elsa and Anna visit the troll king dude and he didn’t know why they left but he know where they went - misthaven. Anna wants to go find out what happened but Elsa refuses bc she’s afraid something bad will happen just like to their parents.



Elsa breaks into gold’s shop and finds the snowflake necklace she gave anna in a box



FB: Elsa comes looking for Anna in the barn and asks kristoff who sucks balls at lying to Elsa about Anna’s whereabouts like even the reindeer is so done. He’s distracting her long enough for Anna to get on the boat leaving today! Elsa runs to the docks and kristoff follows (Elsa’s I’m queen line also here)



Snow monster attacks town but it’s harmless unless you attack it, for some reason goes into the forest. Charming, Emma, and hook follow and they run into the merry men + Marian camp. Snow monster attacks after they shoot it with bows. Charming says Emma can stop it w her magic and hook’s all you can do it! Emma tries to do magic but only manages to paralyze it for a sec before it gets pissed off and evolves w spikes and shit then knocks them all out. Except Marian who tries a bow (someone didn’t get the memo) then gets hit and Regina poofs in, looks at Marian and Marian begs for help. Then Regina poofs away and the monster kabooms into soup a la Regina’s fave fireball. Regina saved Marian and the latter is shocked and she’s like maybe you’re not a monster.



Emma and hook are left alone. They talk about how she’s avoiding him and she admits it?? (I forgot specifics it’s been 3 hours shut up) anyways NETFLIX CS JOKE “I don’t know what that is but sure!” He says it so cheery. emma feels too guilty about Regina to figure out her feelings and shit w hook but then she lightly kisses hook and tells him to be patient and he’s like sure if I live long enough



Emma tries one more time to reach out to Regina at her office. She won’t answer but Emma knows she’s there bc the light is on and talks to her through the door and you see Regina sitting on the floor on the other side. She believes Regina can still and needs to fight for her happy ending. Henry brought Emma so that she could bring back all the happy endings, inc Regina’s and she’s not done.



And ofc instead of taking the good part Regina realizes the book is her problem and ergo her future storyline w Henry - solve the book’s mystery and fix her happy ending. She’s nonetoopleased villains never get their happy endings so she couldn’t take Marian out but she can change the ending. She calls for mirror who doesn’t answer so it’s Sidney and he’s like yup? She needs to figure out who made the book or w/e



Belle is asleep and rumple is being a sneakster and sneaking around. He gets the object from before and waves his dagger over it andddddd it turns into a hat! The blue hat from Fantasia to be exact. Well w/o the stars it has the universe instead all flowy and cool



She left kristoff behind so Elsa wouldn’t be lonely but she’s doing this for them (idk man I tuned out this part or I just forgot which is ironic considering all this I remembered) sooooo they’re too late to stop her Anna on da boat



Then! Kristoff says you might know the land she’s going to by another name: misthaven aka the enchanted forest ooh la la~
