Moments later, the Orderly appears and uses a magical taser to knock them out. Later, as they wake up, they noticed that they had been placed in a cell protected with magic. They are then greeted by the Warden who thinks the Dark One send them here. Mary Margaret then tried to reason with him, claiming that they too hate Rumplestiltskin. However, the Warden refuses to believes them and left. The Groundsman from earlier visits them and offers to help them fix the broken wand which would send them back to Storybrooke. The Groundsman then takes it to the Warden's lab where he fixes the wand but the Orderly finds out about his actions. The Orderly then attacks him and pours a potion down his throat and transformed him to the Warden himself. He then tells the Orderly that he plans to go to this "Storybrooke" He then opens a portal using the wand and transport Pandora's Box from the Land Without Magic to this land. He plans to use it to blackmail the Dark One. ("Only You")

Later, the Groundsman visits Zelena, David, Mary Margaret and Hook in their cell and tells them that the Warden now possesses the wand, but he managed to steal the key from the Orderly. He then frees them. They then travels to the Groundsman's place where he turns the blue serum to red using some flowers sap which can separate the good and the bad personality of one. However, the Orderly then shows up and turns him back to his Warden personality. Mary Margaret then states that she knew who they were as they were from a story. She reveals that they are Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. She, David, Zelena and Hook escapes from the Warden. After they escaped, the Warden - Mr. Hyde uses the serum to separate himself from the Groundsman - Dr. Jekyll. As he tried to kill Dr. Jekyll, Hook, David, Mary Margaret and Zelena comes and rescue him. Using a fireball, Zelena knocks down the Orderly as Mary Margaret uses the magical taser and zaps Mr. Hyde down. Dr. Jekyll then takes the serum and all his tools with him and leaves with the group. They then runs down the streets of the land, desperately finding a way out of the land. They are then found by Mr. Hyde. However, due to Henry convincing the people of New York to believe in magic and to throw coins into the fountain which Henry believes to be magical, a portal opens up. Zelena, David, Mary Margaret, Hook and Dr. Jekyll uses the portal and ends up in New York. Mr. Hyde however did not make it through the portal. During this time, Mr. Gold uses the opportunity to get to the Land of Untold Stories to get Belle back.

Later, as Mr. Hyde throws a tantrum as he was not able to get through the portal with the rest, Mr. Gold shows up in his lab. As Mr. Gold threatens Mr. Hyde with death, he tells Mr. Gold that he knows a way to free Belle from the Sleeping Curse and proposes a deal with Mr. Gold. Someway, Mr. Hyde managed to get to Storybrooke, where he tells Regina that beside him, he also brought along some of his friends from the Land of Untold Stories. ("An Untold Story")

On-Screen Notes

• As Jekyll and the others are walking through the marketplace, as Mary Margaret asks, "Forced to flee from what?", the Three Musketeers touch their swords together on the left hand side of the screen. ("An Untold Story")
• As Hook leads the others into the alley, they walk past a Frontiersman dressed like Davy Crockett. ("An Untold Story")

Production Notes

• The computer-generated imagery model used for the exterior of the Groundsman's house and the surrounding buildings, is recycled from the model created for the Darling House and the neighboring building in "Second Star to the Right". In the exterior shot in the Land of Untold Stories, the building in the middle and the one on the right, are almost identical to the London buildings. ("An Untold Story")
