8x04 is SUPER SUPER long, so... here is part 1
 * In flashbacks, Romeo and Julian have just escaped after waking up
 * They’re in the Land of Untold Stories and encounter Hyde, who’s in charge by then
 * Hyde asks what two young lovers are doing in his realm, and they explain their story
 * He seems to permit them to stay
 * In the present, the Shadow Raven visits Julian. Chillingworth is also in the room.
 * Shadow Raven offers Julian a deal, taking his heart from a begrudging Chillingworth
 * The deal is this: his heart and freedom for Hester’s.
 * Julian doesn’t hesitate to agree.
 * Chilingworth warns Julian not to get into something he can’t escape.
 * Julian says he’s gone far before for love; he’s willing to do whatever it takes to reunite with Romeo. (And that makes him dangerous.)
 * Cue the title card, the True North Blind Witch’s gingerbread house with the Underworld red tint; the Forget Me Knot has replaced the ‘O’ in ‘ONCE’.
 * Regina, Margot, Tilly, Sabine, and Rogers are talking about the events of 8x03 and how they could all connect
 * Regina thinks they need to split up; they know that Chillingworth is from the LUS, so he’s likely met Hyde – who’s dead.
 * “There’s only one place that he could be,” Regina says. “The Underworld. The other side.”
 * “How does one get there?”
 * “Magic.” Duh.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Time to go back to the Underworld!
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Regina stays behind to keep watch over the town
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Margot, Tilly, Sabine, and Rogers go to the pawn shop in search of some kind of portal magic to get to the Underworld
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Gideon greets them and asks what they’re looking for
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">“Quick and easy passage to the Underworld,” Tilly says.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Gideon offers them a magic bean from Tiny’s latest harvest.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Hester meets up with Romeo, asking if he has any information on Chillingworth
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Romeo tells her that Chillingworth was successful, showing her the newspaper article concerning Spencer’s death.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">This is concerning; she asks if there’s anything else he’s done
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Romeo says he doesn’t know; Chillingworth has been difficult to track.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Hester lets him go. Pearl asks what’s going on; Hester says that Chillingworth will be coming back for them, as they are his family, and Chillingworth never gives up on his property.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Back in the past, Julian and Romeo walk through the marketplaces enjoying themselves when they’re suddenly apprehended by soldiers
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">They run through the marketplaces and run into Dr. Jekyll, who offers them refuge
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">They’re grateful and go to Jekyll’s for dinner.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">After they go to sleep, Hyde switches himself and Jekyll and takes them both away to two different places in the Enchanted Forest.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Romeo follows the magic pendant he has to a dead end, and he gets frustrated
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">He begins making his way back to Storybrooke
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The four going to the UW take the magic bean to the Underworld
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">They arrive on Main Street. Tilly briefly wonders if she’ll see Gothel there.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">They go to Granny’s in search of answers about Hester and Chillingworth.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">True North Blind Witch shows up and offers them gingerbread or children.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Sabine is disgusted and merely states that they’re there for answers about the raven and Chillingworth and Hester in Storybrooke.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">BW says that if they seek answers, they should stick around in the diner and wait for someone to show up.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Hyde and Cruella walk through the door.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Back in the past, Julian finds himself in front of the Blind Witch’s cottage.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">He enters. It seems empty.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The Blind Witch knocks him out.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">When he wakes up, he’s tied up to a chair. The Blind Witch eyes him hungrily (take that as you will).
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">“Who are you and why are you here?” she asks him.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">“I’m Julian. Julian Capulet,” he introduces himself. “And I don’t know how I got here.”
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The Blind Witch smirks wickedly. “Capulet, you said?”
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Julian gulps.
 * <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">“I was told that I would be getting a fresh new victim. I see you’ve arrived!”
