In the fairy tale world of the past, Snow and Charming are made to believe that the only way to ensure that their child will not become dark is to put that darkness into another. Snow decides to put it into Maleficent's egg believing it is just a dragon but when the spell is performed they realize there is a baby in the egg and it is transported to another realm.
In order to get the page from the book, Maleficent puts Storybrooke under a sleeping spell but in return she wants Gold to tell her what happened to her child. Snow, Charming and Henry are immune to the sleeping curse because they’ve already been under one. Henry runs off with the book to keep it safe and ends up finding the key. Later, when the villains arrive, he gives them a fake page. Gold soon figures it out and plans to make Regina do his bidding because of it.

Henry find the key to open the door and release the author but August reveals the the author may not be who they all hope him to be.
