Synopsis
Moana builds trust with her new friends. The Mills-Vidrio family try to enjoy time with one another while Wilhelm prepares to attack a second realm. In the past the Coven of the Eight prepare their lives under the new curse.

Recap
In the New Enchanted Forest Regina is completing the curse and the Coven is surrounded by smoke. They appear on a platform to plan their curse. Regina tries to sabotage the plan but one of the witches turns her hand into water and uses it to knock her unconscious, she takes off her hood and it is Moana.

Zelena and Emma recognize the name Moana from the Disney movie and quickly explain it to Ruby. Moana shapes her story to be similar but adds that after her adventure she lost her true love and strongly implies that it was Maui.

Alice and Margot are sitting in their cell while the Jack guards them when Alice uncovers a looking glass, not big enough to travel through but big enough to send a message. She calls for Rogers and asks for help.

Rogers is sailing with Ariel and Ursula when he receives the message from Alice. He tells Ariel about it and asks her what he should do. She tells him that her kingdom is less important than his daughter and volunteers to help him find his daughter and Ursula agrees to help them.

Jinjur shows Moana to her room in the building but as she starts to settle in Jinjur puts a sword to her neck and tells her that she is suspicious of her before removing the sword and telling Moana that she is watching her.

On the platform which is slowly turning into a castle Ivy and Moana discuss their plans and what they brought to this curse. Ivy says that she loves nobody living or dead and that she will be pretending to work for her mother. Moana says that she lost her truest love and that she won’t be cursed, this form is just water and her real form isn’t in the realm.The clouds of the curse begin to leave the castle and Hyperion Heights starts to form. Moana melts into the castle as it disappears.

Ivy and Henry are watching Anastasia when Jacinda and Lucy walk in and say hi. After sitting around for a bit the family leaves and through a window Ivy sees them playing and starts to cry. She tells her sister that she loves Henry, but she loves her stepsister just as much and won’t take her true love away from her, but she knows that wasn’t an option because there is no world where Henry loves her.

Wilhelm, Rumpelstiltskin and the Black Queen are sitting at a table on the platform, fully formed into a castle and try to discuss their next move. Wilhelm tells them that he has a friend in New Neverland who can help them get something he needs, and take away something an old friend needs.

Ivy is rubbing her eyes clear of tears when Regina walks up to her and tells her not to worry, she figured out a way to save Anastasia. If her mother is and was her Truest Love then they need to find the past version of her in the New Enchanted Forest and get her to kiss Anastasia.
