In present-day Fairy Tale Land, Emma and Mary Margaret are being dragged behind Mulan and Princess Arurora's horses. They are taken to an island encampment of what looks like refugees. It's clear that life in The Enchanted Forest has been hard since The Dark Curse was cast. As they are being handed over to the other inhabitants of the camp, Mary Margaret and Emma try to make a daring escape. But Mulan is too quick with her bola, knocking Mary Margaret unconscious. Unwilling to leave her mother behind, Emma is also recaptured. They are both thrown into a dingy cell, uncertain what awaits them. Suddenly, a kindly woman's voice calls out to them, offering to help. The woman steps out of the shadows and introduces herself...it's Cora!
