Jumping back five days, Mr. Gold says goodbye to Belle. He believes he will not be returning because of the prophecy surrounding Henry. Belle believes the future isn’t always what it seems. She vows she will see him again. She gives him a kiss and watches the Jolly Roger sail off to Neverland. Belle then lets the other residents know of the cloaking spell Rumple gave her because others are coming to Storybrooke. A short time later, magic ripples through town. A cloaking shield lowers. Two strangers driving a red convertible with Minnesota plates race get under it. They make it just in time. They make it inside Storybrooke.
In present day Neverland, Rumple gives Ariel instructions on how to get to Storybrooke to retrieve the object he needs to defeat Pan. He wants her to contact Belle. Regina says the bracelet Ariel has will give her legs for 24 hours only. Pan realizes that someone has left Neverland. He contacts with his people in Storybrooke which happens to be the two guys with the convertible. They see Ariel arrive. Their orders are clear. They are to find out why Ariel has come. Once they do, they are to make sure she never leaves.
Leroy brings Ariel to Belle, who activates a hologram from a sand dollar. Rumplestiltskin lets her know that he can defeat Pan as long as the power of their love can steer her to the object he needs. Belle believes he is talking about the teacup with a chip in it. She’s right. Magic is unleashed when she puts it in its proper spot. This leads Belle to Pandora’s Box. Legend says it contains the world’s darkest evils. It’s what Rumple needs to defeat Pan. Too bad convertible guys swipe the box from Belle, who gets the bright idea to break free from the bindings the bad guys used by unleashing Ariel’s fin.
Belle realizes the convertible guys need a dwarf’s pickaxe to destroy Pandora’s Box. They head into the mines. Belle releases a train car that knocks the gun away. The convertible guys swear that they don’t care about magic. They only care about saving their sister. She’s been Pan’s prisoner for over a century. Belle believes they can stop Pan with the box. They’ll then be able to save their imprisoned sister. Her name is Wendy. Wendy Darling. When she is finally away out of Pan’s clutches, her brothers, Michael and John, will be waiting for her.
Ariel swims back to Neverland. She delivers Pandora’s Box to Rumplestiltskin. Regina rewards her for her work. She gives her the power to have legs whenever she wants to search for her true love, Eric. Ariel reveals that Wendy is a prisoner on the island. She wants them to save her, too. Rumple wants Ariel to tell Belle that she was right. He will see her again.
In Neverland, Neal says the only way to get off the island is to capture Pan’s shadow. He knows where they should look. Hook will join him and Emma in the search. Mary Margaret warns this could be trouble since both men have feelings for her daughter. Neal grabs the coconut that served as the star map for their journey to Dark Hollow. It’s a place where dangerous shadows lurk. On the way, Emma is pleasantly surprised at the good form Hook has shown. It’s all because he wants to win her heart without any trickery. He lets Emma know she will eventually have to choose between him and Neal.
Emma, Neal and Hook make their way into Dark Hollow. The plan is to light the candle inside the half coconut. The shadow will be drawn to the flame. Then they can capture it. This plan never materializes as the group is attacked by a trio of shadows. Hook and Neal are pinned by two of Pan’s minion shadows. Emma grabs the coconut, uses magic to light the candle and traps Pan’s shadow inside. Hook and Neal are freed. Emma reads them the riot act for fighting over her. She vows that the only person she will ever choose is Henry.
Henry is beginning to doubt Pan, who unlocks a cage to reveal a young girl inside. It’s Wendy. He wants her to come out to play. Pan sends Felix to the other side of the island. Henry follows him. He finds a place where Wendy lays in bed. She says she’s sick. She says the island’s power is fading and it’s severely affecting her. Henry promises he’ll come back to help. When he’s gone, Pan comes out of hiding. He congratulates Wendy for playing the role he asked of her. Pan planned this ruse to get Henry to believe in him. He orders Wendy back into her cage.
Mary Margaret is giving David the silent treatment. She wants to know why he didn’t tell her about not being able to leave Neverland. It’s because David was afraid. He didn’t want his true love to feel like she was trapped there, too. Mary Margaret says she would happily spend the rest of her days living in a tree house and dodging poison darts if that’s what it took to be by his side. Later, everyone reunites to let Tinkerbell know that they’ve captured Pan’s shadow. It’s time to get Henry back. Speaking of Henry, Pan lets him believe that only he can save Wendy. He needs him to go to Skull Rock for the sake of magic. Henry is up to the task.

Hello Darling Bros. Glad you could make it
Leroy brings Ariel to Belle, who activates a hologram from a sand dollar. Rumplestiltskin lets her know that he can defeat Pan as long as the power of their love can steer her to the object he needs. Belle believes he is talking about the teacup with a chip in it. She’s right. Magic is unleashed when she puts it in its proper spot.
This is the story of how RG died
They only care about saving their sister. She’s been Pan’s prisoner for over a century.
PROOF
Rumple wants Ariel to tell Belle that she was right. He will see her again.
No I was wrong. This is the story of how RG died

Good for you Emma

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Also whoever works at ABC is in serious trouble. This is a literal point by point plot synopsis.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"On the bright side it’s still one person’s interpretation of the scenes. Some of it doesn’t quite jive with the actual sneaks we’ve seen so far though. It is more of a point by point glossing over how things actually go down, but since we all interpret things differently even if we highlight the same exact plot point, I still need to see things in context before having an outright opinion on any of it.
Given the sneak though, I’m surprised a big chunk of it was glossed over in this recap and instead goes with “Neal grabs the coconut …” so hopefully more of it has just been glossed over and there will still be something surprising and new. Can’t believe this got released though, ugh. And now it will be quoted to death until the episode, and people will form opinions based on the wording within the recap which, again, isn’t from A&E and it’s not from within the episode, and uh…WE ALL INTERPRET THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
It’s like saying “so and so said this” without giving any of the facial reactions or the implication. Scenes would be LOST without the context and wording and visual cues so I take this with a huge grain of salt even though it’s likely a rough estimate of how the episode would actually go down.
Me? I like quotes, and context, and visual cues and who’s being focused on, and what’s going on that leads to that moment etc etc. So many times the IDEA of something has seemed strange or like it would fail miserably and then we see it and it’s brilliant and we love it. (Rumple as Beast for instance? That was a rough 2 week break after that promo and Skin Deep is now one of the most popular episodes!).
Can’t wait til we actually SEE what’s going on in this episode but I really hope they don’t screw up like this again in the future. Some people (for whatever reason) really don’t watch until they’ve been told it’s a good episode for their character, ship, whatever else it may be and glossing over stuff (surely there’s SOMETHING in the episode that they didn’t feel the need to mention here) and not actually seeing context means taking one person’s opinion on what happened and that’s sad. I really hope it doesn’t affect ratings at all. It should be a really good episode!
We’ve got (all of which we knew from the press release which was more than enough!):
- Snow & Charming
- Ariel & Belle friendship
- RumBelle via Ariel’s mission
- The Darlings
- CSF on a mission together
- CSF drama as a trio, as couples, as friends, and individual character stuff so fans of all 3, or 2/3, or any individually should love this episode
- Shadow stuff
- Pan stuff
- Trying to find a way home
- Tink
It’s a treasure trove of potential goodness and it greatly saddens me that some might read that and feel like “oh, __ doesn’t get a moment because they didn’t bother to mention it so I’m not gonna watch” or “so and so will be so hurt, I can’t handle this, I won’t watch” cause it should be amazing and I hate that people will take somebody else’s idea of what happened over their own.
Trust me, I listen to too many podcasts (or did, I’m cutting back now) that completely glossed over what *I* considered to be very big plot points because it didn’t go along with what they wanted so was therefore not important enough to mention. It’s very bothersome, but not everyone notices and/or cares about the same things as everyone else (or finds a deeper meaning in it or remembers that we saw something similar with someone else which makes it a bigger moment than it seems on the surface etc etc)! Which is why I pretty much stick to what I see, or actual QUOTES, not paraphrased to death articles and recaps that people then jump off of and quote everywhere else like it’s the end-all and be-all proof of anything when it’s not.
Disappointed that so much of the plot was released in this recap but I can’t wait to see it play out! I definitely need to see HOW certain things are handled and in what context because anybody looking at this recap would declare the triangle dead and pointless and that Emma would take Henry and never be in love again. (And we know THAT’S not gonna be the case so I need context and see what set her off!)
So there is likely big stuff still in here that we have yet to find that just didn’t make the cut for the recap (that should never have been released in the first place). Just when I think their marketing department can’t get any worse…..(seriously can I get a job? I need one and I’m actually, you know, a FAN OF THE SHOW. *headdesk*)

I don’t get it, I really don’t. This only makes me even more excited, but still – why do this? They revealed Pandora’s Box to be the key – why? Why not just ask how the box will help instead of revealing what it is?
That said:
Oh my god!!! The power of Rumbelle’s love is literally saving worlds and everyone!
Belle is such bad ass, lol.>Oh, I wonder if Ariel does go back to give that message to Belle!I’m dying!!!!!
Actually I kind of like reading what will happen just before the show starts because for some reason I can’t understand what or hear what anyone says sometimes. This recap of the episode before will really help me. 🙂
Hope– all that was supposed to be in Pandora’s box, not for nothing I think. Hope that first step to a happy ending. I am excited for this episode.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

Yeah, important point.

I could run their marketing department with you. I acutally know the show. Like in depth.

I totally understand this. And it does calm some of my nerves about the episode. However, some poor intern just got fired, I can assure you. (Not Sally though. Sally’s gotta stick around)

I am as well. And I’m happy that a few of my head theories have been proven true.

Ok, I don’t get this a trio = 3 shadows but yet Emma caught PP shadow? Who are the other two shadows the Darling Bothers or whose?

Could be any of the other shadows Pan has collected, including Greg’s. As for this being leaked, all I can say is…boy somebody’s getting fired!
