Origins of the Dark One

TBA

Rumplestiltskin is summoned to the Ogre Wars, but when meeting with a Seer, he told that his wife, Milah, is pregnant, but his actions on the battlefield the following day would leave his child fatherless. Wanting to prevent this, Rumple injures his leg so he is sent home. However, because of this, his reputation is ruined and he is branded a coward, thus wreaking havoc on his marriage.

Liam and Killian Jones are sent to Neverland with a crew of men to bring back a plant known as dreamshade, which their King claims can heal, but once reaching the realm and finding the plant, they are met by Peter Pan who reveals that in reality the plant is a deadly weapon that he suspects the King will use in war. Liam doesn't believe the story though, but once cutting himself with the plant, the poison spreads throughout his body. Pan saves him with magical water, but the price that comes with it is that he may never leave Neverland. Liam and Killian leave anyway, but when doing so, Liam dies as the poison starts to affect him again. Because of this, Killian and the crew quit working for the King and set out to live as pirates; they rename the vessel the Jolly Roger.

The village coward, Rumplestiltskin, loses his wife Milah to a pirate by the name of Killian Jones when refusing to fight for her. Rumple is led to believe Killian kidnapped her when in reality it was Milah who chose to leave, abandoning her husband and son.

Rumplestiltskin's son, Baelfire grows to be 14, thus meaning he is able to be recruited for the Ogres War. Not wanting to see him go, Rumple steals a magic dagger from the Duke's castle, thus giving him control over the Dark One, Zoso. However, he kills the sorcerer instead, stabbing him with the knife, thus making Rumple the Dark One himself.

Baelfire grows fed up with all the restrictions Rumple has placed on him, as he now fears his son could become a target. One night though, Baelfire is attracted by the sound of a pied piper, so he leaves home. Rumple tracks him down to Hamelin, and soon finds the pied piper, who is none other than Peter Pan. Rumple proceeds to retrieve his son.

Baelfire makes a deal with his father that if he can find away to get rid of Rumple's Dark One powers and go back to the way things were then Rumple would agree. Bae then seeks out Reul Ghorm, who gives him a magic bean that will take them to a Land Without Magic, thus making Rumple's powers useless. However, Rumple backs out once the portal has already been opened, and Bae falls through alone.

Rumple meets William Smee, who promises a magic bean in exchange for eternal life. Rumple then runs into Killian Jones and challenges him to a duel, as he is no longer a coward. Just as he goes to kill the pirate, however, Milah arrives and stops him. Rumple learns the truth behind her leaving him, which ends up in him taking her life and cutting off Hook's hand. After Rumple leaves, Killian leaves for Neverland, and Smee joins his crew.

Rumple encounters the Seer once more, and this time chastises her for not telling him the whole story behind his son becoming fatherless due to his actions on the battlefield. At her power's limit, the Seer offers to grant Rumple the ability to see the future as an apology, and as she transfers her powers, she reveals that the Dark One's undoing will be due to the same boy who reunites him with his son.

Baelfire, now in the Land Without Magic, has been roaming the streets of London, England, barely surviving due to severe hunger. He is taken in by the Darling family, where he becomes close friends with three siblings, Wendy, John, and Michael. However, when the Shadow from Neverland arrives to kidnap John and Michael, Bae sacrifices himself instead where he is taken from the Darlings to another realm. Once arriving in Neverland though, Bae gets away from the Shadow, but is taken aboard the Jolly Roger where he meets Captain Hook.

Once realizing Baelfire is the son of Milah, the son of his deceased lover, Hook lets the boy live aboard his ship, and lies to the Lost Boys, stating that they haven't seen him. Things go well for a while, but Bae soon discovers Hook has been plotting to kill Rumple, and so he turns on the pirate, thinking he was responsible for Milah's death. Hook tries to reason with the boy, but he just wants off the ship. Hook ends up turning him in to the Lost Boys, but they are told he was not the boy they were in search of, but the picture of they boy they are in search of is Bae's future son.

Having fulfilled his end of the bargain, Viktor receives an enchanted heart from the Dark One and returns back to his own world, where he successfully resurrects his brother.

Viktor introduces his father to a recently resurrected Gerhardt, who is pleased at first, but not for long as he comes to realize the monster brought back to life is not his beloved son.

After going into the woods, Hansel and Gretel lose their father, and are stopped in their tracks by the Evil Queen. Regina offers to help find their father if they steal a poisoned apple from the Blind Witch for her. Seeing how they have no other choice, the children do so and they succeed, killing the Witch in the process. Impressed with them, Regina offers to let them live with her, but Gretel objects, for she and her brother want their father instead. Offended, Regina transports the two children and their father to the Infinite Forest, where they are left to wander, most likely never finding each other again. Regina later looks in her Magic Mirror where she finds Snow White with the seven dwarfs.

Snow White secludes herself in the forest after becoming lovesick for Prince Charming. The only one to see her is Red Riding Hood who brings her food once a month, but this time she brings news of Charming's upcoming marriage: it's set to happen in two days' time. Wanting to forget the love she can never have, Snow goes to see Rumplestiltskin, who provides her with a forgetful potion. Meanwhile, however, Charming is unhappy at his own engagement party, as he yearns for Snow White. King George, however, threatens to harm everything dear to him if he does not marry Abigail. Charming still cannot ignore his feelings, so he sends a messenger dove with a letter for Snow, asking if she feels the same about him and asks for her to meet him at the castle. Snow does so, but is immediately caught and imprisoned by George's men. There, she meets the dwarf Grumpy, and Grumpy's friend Stealthy arrives to free them.

Charming decides to journey to Lake Nostos and bring back water so she can save her true love, which he succeeds at.

The two then flee together as George's men approach them.

Having heard the news of Charming abandoning his wedding to Abigail, Grumpy goes to alert Snow, but is devastated to find she has drunken the forgetting potion.

Charming and Red continue running from King George's men, but after being ambushed one night, Red stays behind and turns into a wolf to hold them off while the Prince escapes. Meanwhile, Snow, per the effects of the forgetful potion, becomes cold and tactless, something the seven dwarfs don't take well to. Instead of changing like they plea for her to do, Snow decides to kill Regina, blaming her for all her problems. Grumpy tries taking Snow back to Rumple one last time, but since there's no undo potion, the Dark One provides Snow with a bow that never misses its target instead. Charming learns of his true love's plans, however, and makes a deal with Rumplestiltskin himself to track down the fugitive princess. Charming ends up taking the hit of the arrow Snow meant for the Queen, who is riding along the road. Though true love's kiss breaks the potion's curse, their reunion is cut short when George and his men arrive and capture Charming.

Snow ends up eating the apple, and Red and the dwarfs arrive too late to save her.

Charming flees Regina's palace with the help of the Huntsman, only to end up trapped in the Infinite Forest. Rumplestiltskin arrives, however, making a deal with the prince; he enchants a ring that will lead him to Snow and in exchange, Charming is to put a golden egg inside of a dragon-form Maleficent. Once doing so, Charming is given the ring and finds Snow, awakening her with true love's kiss, and they decide to take back the kingdom.

Snow refuses the offer at first, but once seeing that Regina is willing to make innocents suffer, she starts to contemplate accepting the deal. Charming does his best to talk her out of it, and to continue fighting, and after a while, he succeeds, and the couple agree to fight the Queen together.

The Blue Fairy goes to Geppetto, seeking help about carving a magic wardrobe which can send two people to the Land Without Magic, helping them avoid the Dark Curse. Geppetto agrees to do so, but makes the Blue Fairy promise Pinocchio can be one of the two to go through, with a pregnant Snow White being the other. Blue accepts these terms, and they agree to keep it a secret that more than one can go through.

During a strategy meeting held by Prince Charming about how to overcome the Dark Curse, the Blue Fairy arrives with news of a magic wardrobe. She lies that it can take one through a portal to safety, and that it must be the pregnant Snow White. Geppetto and Pinocchio get started on carving the wardrobe. ("Pilot"/"The Stranger")

Regina attempts casting the Dark Curse by sacrificing the heart of her beloved horse, Rocinante, and a lock of hair from the darkest wizards in all the land. It fails, however, so the Evil Queen seeks help from the imprisoned Rumplestiltskin, who has already spoken with the royal couple. The Dark One reveals she must sacrifice the heart of the person she loves most - Prince Henry. Regina does so, and the curse is cast. She later goes to his gravestone and leaves a flower.

Captain Hook, who has now arrived back from Neverland, breaks into Queen Regina's palace in order to free Belle, wanting information regarding the dagger with hopes she can provide enough in order so he may kill Rumplestiltskin. Realizing she is useless, however, he choses to kill her, only to be stopped by Regina herself, who states Belle is a "valuable chess piece." The Evil Queen tells Hook of the Dark Curse she plans on enacting, and states that in exchange for killing the Queen of Hearts, she will help him kill the Dark One. Hook agrees, and the Queen enchants his hook so he may rip out the Queen of Heart's heart and crush it. After making a trip to Wonderland to do just that, the Queen of Hearts, who turns out to be Regina's mother Cora, offers the pirate a better deal, which involves her killing her daughter instead. Hook and Cora return to the Enchanted Forest where Cora plays dead and Regina greives over her. She discloses her heartfelt love for her mother, but insists she needs her dead because "love is weakness". After Regina leaves, Cora and Hook meet up, and Cora states there has been a change of plans.

Snow White unexpectedly goes into labor and gives birth to Emma, however, thus meaning she cannot accompany her daughter through the magic wardrobe. ("Pilot"/"The Stranger")

Hearing of this, the Blue Fairy goes back on her promise to Geppetto and tries to convince him to allow Snow White to go through the wardrobe with Emma. She points out that Emma will need someone to guide her on the right path to becoming the savior, but as soon as Blue leaves, Geppetto makes Pinocchio go through the wardrobe and watch over Emma himself.

Snow insists Charming send Emma through anyway, as she is their only hope, so the Prince does so, fighting his way through Regina's men. He manages to send Emma through the wardrobe, but then collapses due to his wounds. Snow finds him, but is joined by Regina; the Princess tells her stepmother she won't succeed, and then the curse engulfs them all, sending them to Storybrooke.

As the curse continues engulfing the entire Enchanted Forest, Cora projects a large barrier that protects herself and Hook from being taken to the Land Without Magic. This also means, however, that the inhabitants of that particular area will remain in the Enchanted Forest as well, and they are all frozen in time for the next 28 years.

After the Curse
Regina grows bored of reliving the same day everyday when the Dark Curse is cast, and when Kurt Flynn and his son, Owen, find their way into Storybrooke, Regina grows an attachment to Owen, resulting in a car chase as Kurt tries to flee town.

Emma and Neal travel the country, stealing together in order to survive. They finally decide to settle down in Tallahassee, however, but they discover Neal is wanted for stealing a set of expensive watches. Emma agrees to help her boyfriend retrieve them while he runs to find someone to sell them to, but he is soon cornered by Pinocchio, who has taken the alias of August W. Booth, who insists Neal must let Emma go so she may fulfill her destiny. To show Neal he's serious, August shows him a typewriter with the printed words, "I know you're Baelfire." Neal agrees to disappear from Emma's life, which means allowing her to be arrested for stealing the watches. Emma is sentenced to jail in Phoenix, Arizona for her crime, where she soon realizes she's pregnant with Neal's child. ("Tallahassee"/"Manhattan")

28 years since the Dark Curse was cast, time finally starts to move forward again when Emma arrives in Storybrooke, Maine, but because of this, August starts turning back into wood since he hasn't been keeping his word to the Blue Fairy: to remain selfless, brave, and true. He travels to Hong Kong to see a healer known as the Dragon, who agrees to give him a potion in exchange for a large amount of cash. August steals the cash from another one of the Dragon's clients, Tamara, but Tamara regains it when August loses it, and then kills the Dragon when it's revealed she is really a magic seeker, and has made all the use of him that she could.

After Mary Margaret, Emma, Regina, David, Hook, and Rumple leave for Neverland to rescue Henry, Belle is left in Storybrooke where she is instructed to cast a spell that will shield Storybrooke from the rest of the world, and so no one else working for Greg and Tamara's cause can get in. She does just that, but before the barrier can cover up entirely, John and Michael Darling are able to get into town.
