The first time we met the little mermaid, she was missing her voice and her prince thanks to Regina. She fought to get back to her true love. And then they were separated once more when Blackbeard kidnapped him. But a determined Ariel never gave up until they were reunited.
True love always wins. But sometimes it has to fight against curses, memory loss, and a trip to the Underworld. We're partial to the first time the two were separated, and Killian traded his ship for a magic bean to New York City. He managed to convince the skeptical savior to trust him enough to take a memory potion.
We've lost count of how many times these two have been separated, either by choice, curse, or terrible luck. Belle's been held hostage in a mental hospital, Rumple's died, ventured to Neverland, and been kidnapped by the Wicked Witch. And that was just in the first three seasons!
Henry's the glue that holds everyone together. And we're not just saying that because he has so many relatives. At the end of Season 2, Henry was kidnapped and taken to Neverland. His family banded together for the first time to rescue him from Peter Pan. Who turned out to be his great-grandfather.
When asked to choose between his powers and his son, Rumple chose wrong. He regretted it instantly, and vowed to get his son back at any cost. Unfortunately, things didn't work out the way he'd hoped.
Shortly after the original Dark Curse broke, Emma and Snow were transported to the Enchanted Forest. David stepped up to lead the town and take care of Henry as they searched for a way to reunite their family.
Robin didn't hesitate to step in front of Regina when Hades tried to kill her. Instead, Robin died a hero, destroying Regina's heart, and ours, in the process.
After Marian returned, Regina gave up on her happy ending. Robin found hope in the mystery of Page 23. In doing so, he reminded Regina there's more than one path to happiness.
