They soon arrive at the town docks and are met by Mary Margaret and David , who are alongside Ruby. Knowing that Cora and Regina are after them with the Dark One's dagger in tow, Gold tells Emma to use the invisible chalk to draw a line across all entrances, which Neal helps her with.
The pawnbroker then tells the blonde that she must cast the protection spell herself, which she succeeds at. Neal, along with David and Emma arm themselves with swords as his son's adoptive family break the protection spell with ease and make their way inside the shop.
David quickly blocks one of Regina's fireballs, but is flown outside by Cora and knocked out. Neal tries to attack Cora, who disappears and reappears in a flurry of purple smoke. Realizing they cannot win, Emma and Neal run into the back room where Gold is, sealing it off with the chalk so that Cora cannot get through, no longer having Regina's help as the mayor has left to intercept Mary Margaret who's at her vault.
As Cora tries to bust in, Gold makes a phone call to Belle , telling her that he's dying and romantically reminding her of who she is. Baelfire comments that he didn't know Gold had it in him, to which Rumple replies that he's sorry he broke his deal with Bae. Cora soon manages to get into the back room, breaking the protection spell, and Neal and Emma aim their swords at her, however, Cora quickly makes them disappear in a swirl of purple smoke, causing them to reappear somewhere in the town woods, where the two of them become confused.
Despite this, thanks to Mary Margaret's actions, Cora ends up dying, and Gold is saved. After Regina poses a threat to the Charming family, Neal meets Henry at Granny's Diner and orders him an ice cream with "extra everything".
Henry immediately sees through this as a bribe and Neal admits his agenda, wanting Henry to come back with him to New York as the fighting continues there. Henry initially seems pleased with the offer but soon excuses himself to go to the bathroom. Emma , who's also in the diner, asks Neal how it went and he tells her that Henry agreed to come back with him, however, Emma notices that his backpack is missing.
Neal suggests that Henry took it with him but Emma reminds him that Henry went to the bathroom and is his son, leading Neal to deduce that he's running. The two of them and David use Ruby to track Henry down and she leads the three of them down to the old mines to a crate of dynamite, with sticks missing. The presume that Henry took dynamite but it is Neal who realizes why - he wants to blow up the town well as that's where magic originated from within Storybrooke.
The three of them go to the well to find Regina with Henry, having stopped the dynamite ploy but still planning to use a curse on him to make him love her. After Henry gives a sad speech on how magic is corrupting his family, Regina burns the curse and Henry goes back with David, Emma and Neal. Emma wonders if she knows who Baelfire really is, and Neal reveals that she does not.
When Tamara arrives, Henry wonders how her and Neal met, and she explains that they bumped into each other and he spilled coffee down her shirt, offering her his scarf. Henry soon leaves for school with Emma and Neal shows Tamara the story book, telling her that he's from a magical land known as the Enchanted Forest.
Tamara refuses to believe his claim because she believes that Emma is after him now that he found out about Henry being his son, but Neal says that he and Emma are the past and Tamara wants him to prove it.
Neal later arrives outside the sheriff's station to find a completely wooden August stumbling out. With his dying breathe, he tries to warn Emma of something, but he passes before he can do so. Henry points out that August's last act was honest, brave and unselfish and so Mother Superior turns him back into a little boy again, however, he cannot remember his warning.
Tamara soon approaches the scene, "shocked" to see that magic is real, and Neal remains completely unaware that she is in fact that one that killed August.
Later, when Neal's in the shower, Tamara visits Greg Mendell in his room and has sex with him, the two of them being part of an ongoing affair. Neal is seen sword fighting with Henry in the park as part of their father-son bonding as Mr.
Gold watches. Regina approaches the latter and wonders what his son is doing with hers, Rumple reveals to her that Baelfire is Henry's father, something which shocks Regina. Later, Emma is at home when Neal drops off an unconscious Henry. She asks if he tranquilized him but Neal jokes that he just gave the kid a couple bourbons and that he's a real lightweight, before admitting that Henry's just tuckered out and commending him on how good he's gotten with his wooden swords.
Henry is placed on the couch as Neal and Emma sit down to talk, Bae says that August stopped by the park that day and that he and Henry really hit it off. Emma says that it will take her a while to get used to that before going on to say that she wishes Pinocchio would remember the warning he tried to give before he was "rebooted".
Neal tells her that August always did have a habit of being cryptic, but assures the blonde that she always finds what she wants, so she has nothing to worry about.
Emma bumps into Tamara at Granny's Diner and sees that she has a list of Storybrooke's residents and their fairytale identities in her purse, and when Tamara states herself trustworthy, Emma uses her "superpower" to determine that she's lying. Due to this, Emma is lead to believe that Tamara's the "she" that August warned them about, and so enlists the help of Henry to stalk his father's betrothed.
Emma breaks in and tells Henry to keep lookout and to hit the door if he sees anyone coming. Neal returns to his room and sees Henry hitting the door, but, as he was the one who taught Emma that signal, he immediately knows that she is inside. He walks in to find Emma inside, investigating a loose floorboard. She tells him her theory of Tamara being August's "she", but Neal doesn't believe her, explaining the list away by saying that he helped Tamara make it, to help her adapt to the magical world.
Emma realizes that she looks like a jealous ex, and so tells Neal that if there's nothing under the floorboard, she'll back off. He stipulates to this and helps her lift it, however, there is nothing underneath. Neal wakes up to Tamara leaving to go and train for her marathon, but before he can go back to sleep, he hears ruckus outside and investigates to discover his father , Lacey in tow, is attempting to harm Dr.
Neal restrains Gold, letting Whale free, and accuses him of being so non-redemptive since he found him, stating that he's only still in town for Henry. Neal allows her to search the room and she discovers sand tracked in by Tamara's shoes when she states she had been running in the forest. Neal and Emma walk along the beach where they run into Tamara, who's running there. She makes it appear as though she's training for her marathon, before dashing off, seemingly proving Neal right. Emma begs him not to make it a jealousy thing and as they get to talking more, he apologizes to Emma for letting her go to jail, saying that he wishes it were him.
When Emma learns that when Mary Margaret experienced Regina's whereabouts via one of Gold's spells, the place she was in smelled of sardines, her and Neal go and search Storybrooke's town cannery, in hopes of finding the lost mayor. In there, they find David and Mary Margaret investigating also and the two pairs split up.
Snow and Charming find Regina being tortured by Greg but set her free, getting her to the aid of Mother Superior as Greg escapes. Meanwhile, Emma is hit over the head by Tamara.
Neal is stunned at what his fiance is doing and presses her to reveal the truth, which she admits to lying about everything since the day they met.
She states he should understand her mission to magic means well due to his experiences he told her. Neal refuses to Tamara walk away after everything she's done, but she shoots him. Before she can execute her fiance, Emma kicks the gun out of her hand and the women duke it out. Losing, Tamara throws one of the magic beans she stole onto the ground and opens a portal before running away. Neal, still suffering the bullet wound, begins to get dragged down as Emma holds on. He tells her to let him go so Henry doesn't go grow up an orphan like his parents had, despite that she points out that he'll die no matter where he goes because of his injury.
The two share a teary goodbye in which they each confess their love for one another and Emma ends up letting go as Neal falls down the portal, which soon closes. Emma is left devastated at the apparent demise of Neal. After Neal falls through the portal, he ends up in the ocean of the fairytale land that is, and washes up on the shore unconscious, still weak from the bullet wound he received from Tamara.
Luckily, Prince Phillip discovers him and runs to his aid, wondering who he is. Of the two women with the prince, Aurora states that she doesn't know as Mulan remains silent. Phillip flips Neal over to his front and asks if he's alive; Aurora places her hands on his face and neck, feeling Neal's pulse, and says that he is - but barely. She worriedly states that they have to get him some help and Phillip requests that she help him get him inland.
The two of them team up to heave him off of the beach and somewhere they're able to heal him. Neal remains unconscious all the while. Neal rests at Aurora's palace , back in the Enchanted Forest. He wakes up and is questioned by Mulan and her companions, and reveals himself to be the father of Emma's child, Henry.
As Aurora tries to communicate with Neal's family via the Netherworld , Mulan asks Neal how he got to the Enchanted Forest, and he tells her he fell via portal. Mulan asks what the other world is like, so he tells her that everyone believes the people from the Enchanted Forest are just characters in stories, shocking her.
When Aurora fails to make contact, Mulan accompanies Neal to Rumplestiltskin's castle in hopes of finding a way to communicate. On their way, Mulan wonders why Emma never mentioned Neal when she was in the Enchanted Forest, so he explains that he broke her heart.
When they arrive at the castle, they run into Robin Hood , who claims the castle to be his own. Neal introduces himself as Rumple's son and allows Robin ownership of the castle, but asks to find something first. When he eventually finds a crystal ball, he tries to use it to communicate with Emma, but he's unable to use it. Mulan gives him advice, and it finally works, but he's horrified to discover she's in Neverland.
Robin and Mulan remain with Neal in Rumplestiltskin's Dark Castle , as he frantically looks for a way to make a portal amongst his father's magical possessions. He becomes angry when he's unable to find anything, and when Robin Hood's Merry Men sense disturbance, they enter the castle. Robin assures them that he's okay, and Neal is surprised to see that Robin has a young son named Roland , which gives him an idea.
When Neal tells the archer that he'd like to use his son as bait for Pan's shadow, Robin initially refuses after being told how ruthless Pan is, but Neal then reminds him that his father spared his life, meaning that Marian and Roland were able to survive.
Due to his need to repay his debt to Rumple and thinking he can do it through Baelfire, Robin agrees to let Neal use Roland as bait once and under the assurance that his son remain safe. Robin, Neal and Mulan hide whilst Roland utters the phrase "I believe It attempts to take Roland but Mulan fends it off, allowing Neal to hitch a ride to Neverland and find his own son, as well as his true love. Dropped on the ground, Neal is greeted by Felix , one of Pan's Lost Boys, who welcomes him back to the island and states that Pan will be pleased to see him again.
Neal's hands are bound by Felix and the former Lost Boy is marched through Neverland. Felix has nostalgia of how Baelfire first came to the island, stating he hoped to never see him again. Neal responds that he wouldn't have if Pan had abducted his son, with Felix countering he should've left well enough alone.
However, whilst Felix brags, Neal is able to free himself and punch the teenager, knocking him out and escaping. When running through the island, Neal happens across his father, Rumplestiltskin , having knocked out two Lost Boys.
At first, Rumple thinks that Bae is a vision and tries to harm him, but Neal soon explains that when he was shot, he fell through a portal and ended up in the Enchanted Forest , where he was healed. Robin Hood then helped him get to Neverland. Gold explains that he's currently trying to rescue Henry from Peter Pan and Neal suggests a way to defeat the powerful demon child He makes his way to a beach and blows on a conch shell which summons a large squid, he then fishes it from the water where his father extracts its magical ink.
The two of them then make their way to Pan's compound where Rumple uses a sleeping spell to knock out the Lost Boys, and Henry, but Pan remains conscious. Neal fires an arrow at Pan who catches it, however, as the arrow's shaft has been doused with squid ink, Peter Pan becomes immobilized. This then allows Neal to grab Henry, who's still unconscious, and as he, his son and his father leave the camp, Pan makes a remark about Rumple wanting to murder Henry.
Once they're safe on the other side of the island, Bae asks his father what Pan meant, and Rumple explains that there was a prophecy stating that a young boy would be his undoing, and he believes this to be Henry. Scared that his father will murder Henry in order to keep himself alive, Neal uses the squid ink to ensnare Rumple and then runs away with Henry over his shoulder.
But he is soon ambushed by Pan and his Lost Boys who take Henry back to their camp, all before the child wakes up from the sleeping spell. Shortly following his capture by the Lost Boys, Neal is drugged and made unconscious, to be placed inside a cage. Felix tells his companions that they heard Pan and therefore they know what to do with the captive Neal. After Hook and Emma kiss, following the pirate saving the life of her father , Peter Pan informs Hook, in a provocative way, that Bae is actually alive and in Neverland , and leaves Hook to share this with Emma if he wants to.
Then, the villain meets with his Lost Boys and orders that Neal's cage be hung up along another cage containing someone else.
Felix and the Lost Boys follow these orders and raise the crate up alongside another. When Pan sees that Emma and the others are setting out to find Neal, he decrees that the prisoner be relocated to the Echo Caves. When the Jolly Roger crew arrive, they discover that Neal is trapped inside a bamboo cage and is totally inaccessible due to a deep gorge between them.
Hook explains that the only way to get across is to share your deepest, darkest secret, and he gets the ball rolling by admitting that he's beginning to fall for Emma. Mary Margaret then admits that she would like to have another baby, and David reveals that he was poisoned with Dreamshade and the only cure he could find came with that catch that he can't leave Neverland without dying. Once these secrets are shared, a bridge to Neal become fully formed, and Emma crosses it.
After attempting to cut him free, Neal tells the blonde that the way to open the cage is by her sharing a secret as well, and Emma admits that when she heard he was alive, she wished it was a trick and that he was dead, as that would mean she would never have to go through the pain of losing him ever again, which has proven unbearable in the past.
The door to the cage then vanishes and Baelfire is free; outside, he tells Emma that he has a secret too: he is never ever going to stop fighting for her. Hook, who's interested in the blonde, overhears this and appears deeply saddened. Neal reveals that there's a way for them to escape Neverland ; capturing Pan's shadow and using it to fly off the island. Hook offers to come along and then he, Neal and Emma set off to capture it. Before they leave, Snow warns her daughter that both men have feelings for her and it could be dangerous.
When they arrive at Neal's old cave during his time in Neverland as a child, Hook reveals to Neal that he kissed Emma. Despite this making things awkward, they manage to collect what they need: the coconut lamp, which will help them capture the shadow. They then make their way to Dark Hollow, the darkest place of Neverland where the shadows reside. As they make their way there, Emma notices how strange Neal is acting so Hook explains that he told him about their kiss, assuming she told him.
Emma wonders why he'd assume that, so he says that he hoped it meant something to her. He then vows that when he wins Emma's heart, it'll be because she wants him, which is why he told her of Neal being alive because he didn't want to resort to trickery, nor did he want to sell out a friend.
The trio eventually arrive at Dark Hollow, but as they have trouble lighting the candle for the coconut, the two men begin fighting over the cigarette lighter that Neal brought. They're then attacked by shadows, but using magic, Emma is able to light the candle and capture Pan's shadow within it. As they leave, Emma scolds the two men for fighting and states that if she'd have to chose someone, it'd be Henry.
They soon return to Tinker Bell , who is surprised yet happy to see Baelfire, and the group continues to plan their rescue of Henry, now having an escape plan. The Jolly Roger crew reunites with Regina and Rumple , who reveal to have Pandora's Box, and Neal informs the group that Rumple came to Neverland in order to kill Henry because of the prophecy.
Gold assures them that he won't harm Henry, giving his son Pandora's Box as proof of his true intentions and promising not to use magic. The group then make their way to the Lost Boys' camp, but there's no sign of Pan or Henry, however, they do find Wendy Darling.
Wendy explains to Neal that she came back to Neverland in order to rescue him. The group asks her where Henry is, and after Neal promises her that they will protect her brothers from Pan, she tells them that they are at Skull Rock and why Pan wants the heart of the truest believer.
Regina, Emma , Bae and Gold make their way to the island of Skull Rock in order to save the young boy, but they discover a barrier blocking their entrance to the cave. However, Rumple is able to pass through as he has no shadow, he takes Pandora's Box with him and Neal realizes that he really does want to save Henry.
As Rumple confronts Pan and gets trapped in Pandora's Box, Regina and Emma cause a lunar eclipse with their magic that will allow them to pass through. They hurry to find Henry about to give his heart to Pan. The three parents' combined attempt to persuade the boy not to, but wanting to be a hero, Henry puts his heart in Pan, sending a shock of magic through the land.
As Pan grows more powerful, Henry collapses to the floor and his parents rush to his side in horror. Neal, along with Henry's other two parents, continues to worry over the child as Pan hovers above them to gloat. This leads Emma to cut him with her sword, and when he flies away, Regina notices that the blonde drew blood; this means that they can hurt him, and if they can hurt him, they can kill him.
After casting a preservation spell on Henry and taking him back to the Lost Boys' camp, Regina, along with Emma and Mary Margaret , go looking for Pan; when he underestimates the Queen, she is able to rip her son's heart from Pan's body and return it to Henry aboard the Jolly Roger , where he regains his consciousness.
Neal is overjoyed to be reunited with his son, and is further overjoyed when his father is freed from Pandora's Box , in which Pan had him trapped. Having been informed by three women, Neal asks his father why he never told him Pan was his father, and Rumple reveals that he was scared because he was just like him: they both abandoned their child.
Bae assures Rumple that this isn't true as his father came back for him and the two of them hug before the latter feels a magical disturbance. This turns out to be Pan in the hold of the ship, attempting to rip Henry's shadow from his body, but Rumple manages to trap his father in Pandora's Box. Whilst this occurs, Pan uses his magic to make he and Henry switch minds, so Pan, in Henry's body, walks free, whereas Henry, who's in Pan's, remains trapped in the box to no one's knowledge.
Neal returns to Storybrooke along with everyone else on the Jolly Roger ; like all those aboard the ship, he is met with a warm welcome and is surprised to be reunited with John and Michael Darling , who are now both adults and ecstatic to have their sister back.
He also gives Rumple back his cane, having found it in the hold of the ship, and Gold decides to keep it to remind himself of the man he used to be, but will never be again. After Pan , who's in Pandora's Box , is magically sealed beneath the floorboards of Gold's shop , Neal joins in the celebrations over at Granny's Diner. Here, Captain Hook tells his love rival that he's going to back off from Emma and let Neal win her over, but warns him to cherish the blonde, for he will be ready to swoop in should it all go kaput.
With this, Neal asks Emma out, and she agrees to meet him in Granny's the next day, but when she becomes worried that Henry isn't acting himself, she stands him up.
When she's made to go to Neal by her father , the date is again halted when a scream is heard. It belongs to Mother Superior , but Neal and the others are too late to save her and she is brutally murdered by Pan's shadow , who rips the fairy's out. Knowing that Pan has to be controlling the shadow, Emma, her parents, Gold and Belle take Pandora's Box over the town line and open it, freeing Pan so that they may execute him.
However, it is soon learned that he is in fact Henry, and that the real Pan switched their bodies right as he was being trapped in the box. Knowing that Pan, in Henry's body, is now with Regina in her vault, Neal, Tink and Hook get down to the mausoleum but are unable to get inside due to it being locked with magic.
When Gold arrives, he manages to break the spell, but inside they find that Regina is unconscious and the Dark Curse is gone - Pan has stolen it and plans to cast it again, sending all of Storybrooke's residents to a world of his own dark making.
And without her parents' true love woven into the scroll, even Emma will be powerless to stop it. With a new curse underway, Mr. Gold explains to everyone that only the original caster - Regina - will be able to stop it by tearing the scroll, but they must first get the scroll from Pan. To do this, they decide to put Henry and Pan back into their own bodies, but this can only be done with the power of the Black Fairy's wand, which is currently in the deceased Blue Fairy's possession.
Armed with his magic coconut, Neal, Tink , Hook and David go the Mother Superior's funeral to retrieve the wand, but their efforts are interrupted when the shadow attacks. Unable to trap it, Neal gives the coconut to Tink, hoping she'll be able to use her own magic to light the candle and fly up, but she is reluctant. After some convincing, the pixie dust Tink carries with her begins to glow and she douses herself in it, now able to magically light the candle, fly up and trap the shadow.
She then throws it into a bowl of fire, killing it for good. Killing the shadow returns Mother Superior's, reviving her, and in her gratefulness, she both grants Tink her wings back and hands over the Black Fairy's wand. Once the spell is performed, everyone goes to find Henry who soon reunites with his family, giving the scroll to Regina.
As soon as she touches it, however, she passes out, seeing what must be done in order to be able to tear it. It's not long before Pan, having overpowered Rumple, steps out of the pawnshop and freezes everyone with his magic, planning to slaughter Belle and his grandson, the ones his son loves most.
But before he can start, Rumple too steps out of his shop and says his goodbyes to his true love and son, summoning his shadow and using the magic dagger he previously gave it to stab Pan in the back, killing them both.
Saddened by his father's sacrifice to stop his grandfather, Neal begs Regina not to let it be in vain and to use the scroll to save them, but she reveals that to do so, she has to give up the thing she loves most: Henry.
He is able to escape the curse because he wasn't born in the Enchanted Forest , but Emma is also capable of doing so because she's the savior; the two of them are told to leave town together. When everyone congregates at the town line to say their goodbyes, Regina reveals even more bad news, saying that when the curse washes over them, Storybrooke will cease to have ever existed, meaning Emma and Henry won't remember it or anything that happened there.
To overcome this problem, however, the Queen offers to do for the two of them what she did for everyone else in town and give them new memories, so that Emma would never have given Henry up and the two of them would have always been together.
Saddened, they get into the car and watch as Regina tears the scroll and uses its magic to make the curse safe, and as it envelops the town, Emma and Henry drive away, the memory spell taking effect. Neal is transported back to the Enchanted Forest along with everyone else.
Back in the Enchanted Forest , Neal realizes that people's possessions returned when the curse undid and wonders if he could stop by his father's old home in case there's some magic there that could help him return to Emma and Henry.
However, Snow and Charming remind him of the price brought on by tearing the curse scroll, meaning his son and true love can never be seen by any of the former Storybrooke inhabitants again; he is disappointed, but understands when they tell him that Emma and Henry are being given their best chance. He soon begins trekking to Regina's palace along with everyone else, and on the way, Belle tells him that she still believes Rumple to be alive, reminding Neal that they never saw his father's knife after he killed Pan.
This provides Baelfire with some hope, and he is later happy to be reunited with Robin Hood , who joins the journey with his Merry Men and asks Neal where his son is. Neal replies that it's a long and complicated story, but that Henry is safe and with his mother, and Robin also takes the time to catch up with Belle, who once freed him when he was Rumplestiltskin's tortured prisoner.
Neal and the others soon arrive at the Queen's palace but are surprised to discover that it's enclosed by a protection spell - one that isn't Regina's - meaning someone powerful has taken up residence inside. Neal is present when another flying monkey attacks those outside the Dark Palace and he witnesses Regina rescue Robin Hood's son Roland when the creature heads in his direction, trying to get to the Queen.
She turns it into a stuffed animal which she then gives to Roland, and when the creature is identified, Belle realizes that it must be from the land of Oz , having read about such things in her book. Neal is surprised about how casually they're treating the subject and not thinking this kind of thing is normal, but Regina confirms that Belle is right.
This all means they're up against the Wicked Witch of the West. She and Robin manage to make it into the castle and disarm the protection spell, allowing everyone else inside. As this happens, she confronts Zelena, the Wicked Witch, who reveals herself to be Regina's maternal half-sister before flying away on her broom. Neal and Belle head to Rumple's old castle together in order to find a way to resurrect the Dark One, and Belle thinks the way to go about this is to inspect the rather extensive library, for there could be books on the subject.
One the way, Neal discovers that the key chain necklace he stole for Emma survived the curse , and Belle points out that it's because it was born out of true love. They light a candle to help them see better in the library, but to their surprise, the candlestick begins talking.
He helps the pair of them, when they say Rumple will be able to reverse what was done to him, by showing them a large book in which a key is kept: the key to the Vault of the Dark One, where the very first Dark One was made.
When they dare to question his knowledge, he argues that he's been kept up in that library for over two hundred years, despite Belle knowing that it was built not long before Regina's curse was cast. This leads the candelabra to admit that the Wicked Witch was in fact the one to imprison him so that Neal and Belle would resurrect Rumple and she would be able to control him, but Neal simply takes this to mean that it can be done, despite Belle protesting that it must be the wrong thing to do.
Deciding that the cost is worth it, Neal places the key into the center of the vault and burns his hand as he does so, causing it to open and for Rumple to form from the inky blackness.
Suddenly, Neal collapses and the Wicked Witch arrives on the scene, explaining to them that a life must be exchanged in order for Rumple's to be saved, ergo Neal is dying so that his father may live.
Rumple tries his best to save his son, but the Witch points out that he can't keep Baelfire as well as his dagger, and so he hands over the latter, allowing himself to absorb his son and keep him sustained within his own body. However, two minds in one head drives Rumplestiltskin to insanity. Belle returns to the royal palace and explains what happened to Neal, telling the others that Rumple is alive but under the Wicked Witch's control, currently sharing a body with his son. The insane Rumple is later found locked within a cage in his own castle , spinning at the wheel, but he's later released when a new Dark Curse is unleashed on the Enchanted Forest by Snow White - one which will erase the previous year from everyone's memories.
Zelena devises a memory potion to use on herself upon arriving in Storybrooke and leaves a spare vial for Rumple so that he may remember the pain he went through when watching Neal die.
However, just as the Dark One's about to drink, he begins to stir and an incredibly weakened Baelfire stumbles out of his father's body, allowing Rumplestiltskin to fall to the ground whilst Neal catches the memory potion.
Bae quickly writes a note and attaches it to the vial, sending both via dove to Captain Hook , instructing him to find Emma and give her the potion so that she can return and save everyone.
He then collapses, not strong enough to survive on his own, and returns to his father's unconscious body whilst the Dark Curse washes over the entirety of the land. While Emma is living her normal life with Henry in New York , Hook shows up to convince her of the truth and sends her to Neal's apartment. She first finds their old dreamcatcher, and then she's shocked to discover a camera embroidered with Henry's name that he left there from their trip.
She is shocked, but later gets all her memories back thanks to a potion. Zelena , also known as the Wicked Witch of the West, returns to an isolated house in the newly-cursed Storybrooke with a tray of food in tow. She heads down the stairs to the basement and slides the tray beneath a small gap in a large cage. A hand protrudes from the gap and grabs her arm, and an unshaven, unkempt Mr. Gold tells the Wicked Witch that she shouldn't have brought him back.
She simply smiles evilly and kicks the tray into the cage, releasing his grip and heading back upstairs after instructing him to eat up, for they have work to do. As he prepares to eat, Rumple repeats the phrase "You feed the madness and it feeds on you", having returned to the high-pitched, manic tone he had before the original curse was cast. He then lets out his signature giggle, and eats, still insane due to his absorption of Baelfire.
Rumplestiltskin remains in his cage insane because Neal is inside him , spinning at the wheel, when Zelena visits with his magical dagger in tow.
She notes how much he's let himself go and begins to shave him with with the knife, explaining that she learned to do so when her father returned home drunk every night but demanded that appearances be kept up. She then notes that that was always an impossibility for the two of them back in the Enchanted Forest , because no matter what they did, their outside appearances always reflected what was rotting on the inside. Rumple claims that she doesn't care about appearances, because if she did, she'd change his shirt.
She remains cryptic, and soon leaves, allowing him to continue spinning straw into gold. When they find his spinning wheel in his cage, they deduce who must have been in there, and become shocked that he's apparently returned from the dead. After a new Dark Curse is cast which sends everyone back to Storybrooke with no memory of what they did over the last year spent in the Enchanted Forest , Neal fails to make a reappearance, much to Emma's concern once she regains her memories and returns herself.
However, he one day busts into Gold's shop and immediately collapses, being taken to the hospital by Belle. Emma soon arrives to ask him a few questions, and he explains that the last thing he remembers is saying goodbye to her as Regina sent them all back home, and then he was running through the woods.
He seems reluctant to accept that it's really been a whole year, and even more so that Henry doesn't remember him. After it is revealed to Neal that his father is still alive and out there somewhere, Emma notices a burn on his hand and asks Belle to research it whilst she and David go looking for Gold.
Neal is looked over by Hook , who hugs his old friend, apologizing for all the dispute that took place between them over Emma, denoting it as silly. Neal agrees, happy to have made amends with Killian, and Hook soon lets Baelfire out into the woods so that he can aid Emma in her search. He finds her soon enough, just after she lost Gold, but she is soon phoned by Belle and told what the symbol on Neal's hand means: it comes from the key to the Vault of the Dark One, and if Neal used it to resurrect Rumple, he should be dead right now.
Suddenly, Neal collapses, and it is realized that he and Gold have been sharing a body. He begs Emma to separate the two of them with her magic, pointing out that his father is of more use to them for he can tell them who the Wicked Witch is, and Emma manages to do so, meaning Neal begins to die slowly on the ground.
Rumple is distraught to watch his son die, telling Emma that the Wicked Witch is Zelena, Mary Margaret's midwife, whilst Neal gives Emma the swan necklace he stole for her back when they were together, as a symbol of his love for her. He tells her to go and find Tallahassee , even if it's not with him.
Rumple then apologizes for all the trouble he caused his son, but Baelfire thanks his papa for showing him what it means to make a true sacrifice, and now it's his turn. His final wish before he dies is that Henry be told he was a hero in the end, and this is exactly what Emma does after failing to capture the Wicked Witch. She vows to find Zelena and have Neal's life avenged.
Neal's body is found and removed from the woods of Storybrooke , being placed into a coffin. His funeral is soon held, and many of the townspeople attend, each one of them saddened by his death. Multiple bystanders shovel dirt into his grave, including his son, Henry Mills. The final person to do so is Emma Swan , who clutches the necklace he gave her in memoriam.
Meanwhile, in Zelena's storm cellar, she asks Rumple if Baelfire was worth all the trouble of casting the curse and waiting twenty-eight years for it to be broken, and he replies that it was worth every moment because Bae was family, something she will never understand.
A wake is then held in Neal's honor at Granny's Diner , during which time Hook offers to take Henry out and tell him what his father was like as a boy. Emma is touched that he would do something like that for her son, and the pirate is later seen with Henry at the Storybrooke docks. He tries teaching him how to sail, explaining that he taught his father how to do the same, but Henry becomes confused when the things he are told make no sense, such as Hook being an adult when Neal was but a boy.
He asks to be told the truth, wanting to hear something real about his father as opposed to something that sounds made up so he'll like the guy, and he goes on to point out that he can't be sad about Neal being gone if he doesn't know what he was like when he was alive. Thinking this to be a fair request, Hook tells Henry that he taught his dad to sail because he had just lost his own father and he thought the open sea would be a comfort to him, allowing the young man to finally relate to Neal.
Hook adds that, whereas Henry knew nothing about his father, he had more in common with him than he realizes. When it's realized that Henry's book of fairytales is the key to restoring his memories and breaking the curse , Emma , Regina , David and Mary Margaret set out to find it. Henry wonders where his mother is going, but she refuses to relent information, leading him to ask if it's to do with the person who murdered his father; she answers positively.
The book is soon found by Mary Margaret in her closet and given to Henry by her, David, Regina and Emma, the latter of which asks her son if he trusts her before she hands it over.
He assures her that he does and takes the book from her, immediately receiving a series of flashes which fully restore his memories, including those of his father, Neal. After a brief mishap involving Zelena, Regina kisses Henry on the forehead, happy that he's able to remember her being his mother, and this releases a burst of true love across the whole of Storybrooke which breaks the curse, meaning everything that happened during the missing year is remembered by all the townspeople.
He stands before the gravestone with a rose in his hand whilst Emma comments that Neal didn't give a second thought before sacrificing himself to save his son and everyone else. With a heavy breath, Henry carefully places the rose atop the grave, going on to talk to his mother more about the decision she made to leave New York.
However, their conversation is interrupted by Mary Margaret, who suddenly goes into labor. With Zelena finally defeated thanks to Regina's light magic, Rumple tries to kill the Wicked Witch in order to make her pay for enslaving him and to personally avenge his son. However, Regina uses his dagger - which was earlier dropped - to stop him from doing so. Rumple wonders why, reminding the Queen of all that Zelena has done, but Regina points out all the people the two of them have killed trying to get what they want.
Rumple can't believe what he's hearing, but Regina says that she's made the choice to be a hero, and heroes don't kill. Instead, Zelena is locked up in the sheriff's station where it is hoped that she'll reform. Rumple shows up that night with his dagger in tow. He explains that whilst Belle had it after Regina gave it to her, he switched it with a fake one and took the real one for himself, meaning he's in total control of his abilities.
He teleports into Zelena's cell and the vile woman begins sniveling for mercy, pointing out that she's powerless and can't hurt anyone. Once she realizes that there's no escape for her and her death is imminent, she simply asks, "Why? He then stabs the powerless Wicked Witch in the gut with his dagger, proceeding to turn her into porcelain before withdrawing it; when he does, she shatters into pieces.
Gold, satisfied with his vengeance, then leaves. When Emma becomes trapped in the past thanks to the now defeated Zelena's time portal, she manages to open another portal to the future using a magic fairy's wand. Just as she's about to jump through it, however, Rumplestiltskin of the past grabs her and demands to know more of what becomes of his son before he forgets, notably if his boy forgave him. Tearfully, Emma replies positively, but is forced to admit that he also died, much to the Dark One's dismay.
She says that Baelfire forgave him, loved him, but he died to ensure they were saved. Rumple suggests that he could change the future and prevent this fate by remembering, but Emma points out that he could end up making things much worse.
She explains that she loved Bae as well and wanted to save him, but he died a hero and his father mustn't take that away from him. She then tells him to drink the forgetting potion in his hand and forget everything she just told him. Rumple gulps it down as he lets the blonde go back to the future. She returns to the coronation at Granny's Diner , which is being held to announce the name of Mary Margaret and David's newborn son, and they soon reveal that he's to be named after a hero who died to save everyone in town; who loved the people, and who the people loved back: Prince Neal.
Emma and Henry are touched to hear the latter's late father honored in this way. Following his wedding to Belle , Mr. Gold pays a visit to Neal's grave where he recounts a story of Bae's childhood, talking about the time when a scared Baelfire climbed into bed with his papa during a storm and, for the first time, Rumple felt like an adult because he was able to comfort his child and take care of him He goes on to reveal that he gave Belle a fake dagger and keeps the real one on his person, but he only did so to avenge Neal's death by killing the Wicked Witch, Zelena, soon after he proposed.
However, he feels so guilty that he later switches them back, but not to his new wife's knowledge. But then he discovers a magical object that intrigues him and he needs to real dagger to activate it, deciding to keep it for himself after all. At the Sheriff's Station, Emma allows Hook to go through her box of items she's accumulated over the years.
The first thing the pirate finds is the pair of glasses she used to wear, such as when she met Neal. He also goes through various items of jewelry before coming across a small photograph of a younger Emma joyously embracing her then boyfriend Neal Cassidy, taken in the days that they were thieves together.
Hook, being Emma's new boyfriend, stares awkwardly at this photograph for a while, and Emma senses tension. However, the pirate soon places it back and, to break said tension, Emma takes out a second box containing items such as the blanket with her name on it, knitted for her by Granny when she was still in her mother's belly, soon before Regina's curse hit, and a camcorder containing some very surprising footage involving Storybrooke's newest villain, known as the Snow Queen. Upon leaving Storybrooke with his wife, Marian , and son, Roland , Robin Hood heads to Baelfire's old apartment, for that's the address Regina gave him.
However, once his family has arrived, Mr. Gold shows up, having been banished from town by Belle. His berating of them for being in his son's home is cut short when he has a sudden heart attack and is rushed to hospital, where he realizes that all of the dark deeds he's committed in his lifetime have poisoned his heart - it's killing him.
Robin steals an elixir that should cure the condition, but it fails because Marian switches the vials. Gold wonders why, and she reveals that she's not Marian at all: she's Zelena , having been using a glamor spell to take Robin's wife's form all this time. She followed Emma down through the time portal after her life-force left her body, killing Marian and taking her form in the process, all to destroy Regina's happiness with Robin, her true love.
She comments that nobody's noticed the difference - not her husband, nor her child - when she's as dead as, "Well, your son. Oh, that's right. I suppose that means you never avenged his death, that He says that those things belonged to Neal Cassidy, a man he never knew, and he wants to remember Baelfire.
When in Neal's apartment, Emma discovers their old dreamcatcher and expresses her surprise that it managed to survive over the years. She is the fifth and final member of hololive -Council- to debut.
