Ivy, after thinking about it, decides to visit her younger self and convince her not to join Mother Gothel when Gothel offers her a position in her coven. Anastasia realizes this will change history.

Killian places handcuffs on her when he realizes Henry and Gideon are driving away.

Emma and Lily are in their apartment talking about August when Lily gets a call. It is an unknown number, worrying both of them but she answers. The caller tells Lily that it's been six years. Lily asks who it is and the woman reveals herself as her mother. Lily does not talk after that and her mother hangs up. Emma asks who it was, but Lily doesn't answer.

Tilly is sitting on a bench in Hyperion Heights, watching Sabine at Rollin' Bayou. Sabine announces an order for coffee, and Tilly walks up to stand with three coffees, asking why there is three, and Sabine tells her one is for Tilly, one is for Sabine, and the other is for another customer. Tilly distracts Sabine, who turns around, allowing Tilly to pour the potion Margot sent her into Sabine's coffee. However, some accidentally spills into Ivy's as well. Sabine turns back around. Tilly worries until she sees Ivy walk up and take the third coffee. They all drink their coffee, and Sabine and Ivy both regain their memories. Sabine and Ivy realize what is going on.

In the past, Ivy and Anastasia have been living with Edward for two months when suddenly a curse takes Ivy and Anastasia away, but leaves Chad. Ivy and Anastasia awaken in the New Enchanted Forest, but with everyone from Hyperion Heights. They find Jacinda, who reveals that Roni cast a curse that brought everyone from the realms into one "united realm". Ivy tells Jacinda that they were in the past, and asks where everyone from the past New Enchanted Forest went. Roni shows up and reveals that the timeline has split into two: one where all the realms are left alone in 2018 like they originally were, and another existing at the same moment where all the realms are together, so everyone from the past New Enchanted Forest that were brought to Hyperion Heights for Gothel's dark curse, only they are brought here, no one from where Ivy and Anastasia went.

In the present, Roni is brought to the jail, where she sees August, and they lock eyes.
