Later in the woods, Ella has an intense swordfight with Henry as she playfully taunts him about not being able to keep up with her even though he was taught by a pirate. She then grabs his arm and jabbing him in his side as a reminder to him that the king's men won't play fair in battle either. Ella swings her sword at him, but she ends up spinning after Henry dodges her move and catches her in his arms. Locking eyes, the two exchange flirty banter before they almost share a kiss, except Ella moves away at the last moment. Ella apologizes, only able to tell him that "it's complicated", but when Henry asks about this, she shushes him upon hearing someone nearby. Alice shows up, and asks for their help finding her father Hook. Ella and Henry bring her to him, but the reunion goes badly, with the poison in Hook's heart growing worse after Alice tries to hug him. As a distraught Alice runs away, the couple follows her through a portal to New Wonderland. Upon arrival to this realm, Ella leads Henry towards a cottage she believes Alice went into, only for them to be caught in a net trap. Much to Ella's bemusement, Henry finds the situation funny as he recalls how his grandpa caught his grandma in a similar trap after she hit him with a rock. Ella grabs Henry's sword, but the blade accidentally slices the rope, freeing them and sending them tumbling. Henry maintains high hopes that Alice and her father will be together again and shares his grandparents' famous motto, "I will always find you". However, Ella thinks he is a bit naive as he comes from a place where true love prevails, while her world is one of broken promises. Inside a cottage, Ella finds the Infinite Maze entrance, which makes Henry realize she is in Wonderland for other reasons. She admits she means to track down her mother Cecelia, whose abandonment broke her father's heart and she wishes to find out her reasons for leaving. After downing a shrinking potion, she rushes into the maze and stumbles into a tea party, where Alice is hiding. When Ella spots her mother's locket on a teapot, Alice reveals Cecelia was killed by a Jabberwock in New Wonderland, but she had originally left her family because she had the curse of the poisoned heart. Ella also learns Alice was misled by Drizella into believing she was shielded from Hook's curse. As she realizes Henry is in danger, her mother's locket starts to glow, to which she makes it in time to save him from her stepsister, who is sent home when Alice dumps a looking glass on her. Seeing both pendants glowing in sync, Ella reciprocates Henry's feelings for her by kissing him. The pair return to a recovering Hook and give him a knight chess piece from Alice, who has hopes they can be together after he finds a cure. After Henry is reunited with his old friend Jack, he introduces him to Ella. ("Pretty in Blue")
As citizens of Hyperion Heights celebrate at Roni's, Jacinda joins her husband and daughter there. Henry gets both of them drinks, with a hot cocoa with cinnamon for Lucy and one of Roni's special drinks called the "weed killer" for Jacinda. Roni toasts them in honor of their family reunion, just as Margot and Tilly bring in a batch of Sabine's baked beignets. Later at Henry's apartment, Lucy makes frosted cupcakes for her parents which are topped with individually lit candles. Henry tells them about how own mother made a wish on a cupcake that spurred on his reunion with her, and now that he has been reunited with his family, he doesn't know what to wish for. Jacinda agrees with his sentiments before all three of them smile at each other and blow out the candles together. In the next instant, Jacinda and her daughter are whisked away by Rumplestiltskin of the Wish Realm and entrapped in a snow globe in his castle. Henry, upon finding his family gone, is pressured by Rumplestiltskin to giving him Weaver's dagger if he wishes to see his family again. With Roni, Rogers, and Weaver, Henry uses Tilly's looking glass, which, unknown to them, Rumplestiltskin has tampered with in order to separate them into specific locations once they arrive in the Wish Realm. Henry and Roni, ending up in the Dark One's castle, eventually locate a room where they hear Jacinda and Lucy's cries for help from inside the crystal ball. Since Henry is unwilling to forfeit Weaver's happiness for his own, Rumplestiltskin creates a snowstorm in the crystal ball, warning him that he has until midnight before snow completely fills up the globe and his family dies. As only Rumplestiltskin's magic can undo the prison that Jacinda and Lucy are in, Weaver attempts to single-handedly defeat the Dark One by tricking him into touching the squid ink-covered dagger and then stabbing him, but it all goes awry when the ink wears off too fast. After Sir Henry aids Rumplestiltskin with the Author's pen, the Dark One banishes Henry, Weaver, and Rogers into the same snowglobe world. ("Homecoming")
