Reality and myth begin to merge as the fairytale characters awaken from the Evil Queen's broken curse and remember who they were. But to their dismay, they aren't transported back to the Enchanted Forest. To make matters worse, Rumplestiltskin - aka Mr. Gold - wanting to gain the upper hand in his power struggle with Regina, has introduced magic into the town. In fairytales, magic has its place, but in our world it can have unfathomable consequences.
Meanwhile, back in the Enchanted Forest that was, Prince Phillip awakens his sleeping beauty, Aurora, but discovers that he and his traveling companion, Mulan, will soon have to face a deadly foe.

In Storybrooke, the [[Recap/OnceUponATimeS1E22ALandWithoutMagic magical storm cloud]] clears as friends and family reunite in the streets, culminating in Emma finally meeting her real parents. As they begin to discuss the effects of the Curse breaking and the subsequent storm, Mother Superior arrives to tell everyone that magic has come to Storybrooke.
->'''Leroy:''' Let's go to the person responsible for bringing it. The Queen.\\
<''murmured agreements''>\\
'''Emma:''' No. Wait. It wasn't Regina.
In the woods, Belle explains that after [[Recap/OnceUponATimeS1E12SkinDeep Rumplestiltskin
Emma wants to confront Gold and get some answers before getting on with the family reunion, but they are interrupted by Archie who tells everyone that Dr. Whale is leading a mob to the Mayor's house with intent to kill. Realizing that the return of magic could result in a CurbStompBattle in Regina's favor, the group goes to intercept the mob before anyone gets hurt.
----
Phillip's companion senses that something isn't right and draws a sword just before the ground bursts open, releasing a flying creature in black rags with [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]]. Phillip rushes at the creature and swings his sword at it, knocking a medallion off of it before it flies away. Phillip picks up the medallion, which bears a strange symbol.
----
Returning to the pawn shop, Gold tells Belle to wait while he searches his stock for a change of clothes for her. Once out of sight, however, he opens a locked cabinet and dons some gloves before selecting a medallion with a strange symbol.
The mob arrives at Regina's house, where she confidently taunts them before trying to blow them away with a spell, but to her shock nothing happens. Whale pins Regina down but Emma and company arrive and stop him and convince the mob to have Regina locked in the holding cells at the police station. Once there, Regina tells Emma and her family that everyone remained in Storybrooke because the Dark Curse erased the Enchanted Forest from existence. Doubtful, Emma leads her family to go find Mr. Gold, who conveniently shows up to taunt Regina right after they leave.
->'''Regina:''' You're here to finish the job?\\
'''Gold:''' No no no. You're safe from me.\\
'''Regina:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I feel so relieved]].\\
'''Gold:''' I made a promise to someone that I won't kill you.\\
'''Regina:''' Who could elicit that from you?\\
'''Gold:''' Belle.\\
'''Regina:''' She's alive?\\
'''Gold:''' [[TranquilFury You are… a]] [[BadLiar dreadful liar]].\\
'''Regina:''' I could have killed her, but I didn't.\\
'''Gold:''' You did much worse than that. You kept her alive, so you could kill her when it suited you. A FateWorseThanDeath. Which, incidentally, is exactly what I've got in store for you.
Gold seizes Regina's arm and presses the medallion into the

'''Gold:''' Yes, dearie. The one thing no one can escape. Destiny. And I promise… yours is particularly ''unpleasant''.

Phillip's companion introduces herself to Aurora as Mulan and explains that the creature was a wraith, which marks its victims before extracting their souls for damnation. As Phillip assures Aurora that they'll be safe with their allies, he notices that the medallion's symbol has been burned into his hand but hides it from Aurora.

In
->'''Gold:''' The Dark One summons thee.
Gold plunges the dagger into the ground beside the medallion, and in her cell Regina awakens with a start to see the medallion's symbol appearing on her palm. The wraith rises from the medallion and zooms off in search of its prey.
Mary Margaret asks Emma why she doesn't seem super happy to finally be with her parents, and Emma confesses that she can't help but resent their decision to send her away, even if it was for the greater good, since it meant she spent her entire life alone.
----
After some time riding through the woods, Mulan proposes that the three of them set up a camp for the night since the wraith is most powerful in the dark and it would be best to lay low while it searches for a new victim. As they work, Aurora can tell that something is bothering Phillip but he blows it off and tells her that he's going to gather firewood, shedding a tear as he turns away from her.
----
Emma and her parents enter the pawn shop to confront Gold, but they don't learn much before a violent windstorm starts outside, which Gold explains as a result of his in-progress elimination of Regina. They hurry off to intervene before Belle emerges from the back of the shop, disappointed that Gold used a loophole to get his way while technically obeying her, and she storms out despite his apologies.
----
Aurora and Mulan hear the wraith's screams, and when Mulan sees the horses gone she pieces together that Phillip was marked and has gone to give himself to the wraith to save them. Mulan runs off to find Phillip with Aurora lagging behind.
----
The wraith attacks Regina at the police station and starts to suck out her soul before David, Mary Margaret and Emma arrive and drive it away with an AerosolFlamethrower. Regina explains to them what it is and that it can't be killed, only disappearing once it's claimed its victim. Emma refuses to let Regina die since she promised Henry to protect her, so Regina comes up with a plan to banish the wraith. After picking up Jefferson's hat, the four go to the city courthouse to set up the trap, but Regina can't get it to work.
----
Aurora catches up to Mulan, having found one of the horses, and she soon realizes that Mulan has fallen in love with Phillip despite her denial.
----
The wraith enters the courtroom and David fends it off with a torch as Regina struggles to get it to work.
----
Mulan and Aurora get to the clearing where Phillip is waiting for the wraith. Mulan asks Phillip to give her the medallion so she can take the mark and his place as the wraith's target, but he refuses. The wraith descends and they can only watch in horror as the wraith extracts Phillip's soul, disappearing into the medallion once it's done.
----
Regina realizes that the hat isn't working because "magic [is] different here", but as Emma touches her the hat begins to spin and the portal opens. The wraith dives at Regina but is sucked into the portal as Emma tackles her out of the way. The wraith tries to pull Regina in but grabs Emma instead, pulling her through the portal. Refusing to be separated again, Emma's parents jump in but only Mary Margaret makes it through before the portal closes.
----
Mulan and Aurora take Phillip's body back to the castle, laying him on the same bed he awoke Aurora from the day before. Mulan places the wraith's medallion in a bag and gives it to Aurora.

David demands answers from Regina but she doesn't know what will become of his family on the other side of the portal. When David threatens her she throws him back with magic
Belle returns to the pawn shop, having realized that she still loves Gold but more importantly that [[MoralityChain he needs her to help him make better choices]].
