Synopsis
Regina reels from the death of Robin Hood, and everyone tries to give her room to grieve, but when the heroes discover Gold has stolen Hades’ Olympian Crystal and tethered all of Storybrooke’s magic to it, they set out to stop him. Henry decides he no longer can stand all the pain magic has caused his family, so he goes rogue, with Violet in tow, to destroy magic once and for all. Meanwhile, Zelena, Snow, David and Hook attempt to open a portal that will return Merida and the other Storybrooke guests to their homes, but things go awry, and the group winds up in a deranged new world.

Trivia
Production Notes=

Production Notes

 * The title card features the logo on a flying dirigible.
 * "Only You" is the name of a song by Yazoo, which has previously been featured in the fifth season:
 * Henry plays it on his iPod and on the diner's jukebox when he first meets Violet in Camelot and Storybrooke, respectively.
 * Henry reuses the song during his date with Violet, and Emma mentions that Neal did the same thing with her.
 * The name on the bus that brings Henry's mobile phone from Maine to Boston, and the bus that brings Henry and Violet from Maine to New York, is Polar Star Coach Lines. The same company brought Robin Hood and his family from Maine to New York in "Heart of Gold". The same bus company name appears on the sign at the bus stop where young Emma meets Lily in Mankato, Minnesota, in "Lily". As Henry and Violet's bus leaves, you can see the words "Moving Maine forward" next to the logo.
