Meanwhile, Emma, Aurora, Mulan and Snow are discussing Aurora's dream - and the fact she saw Henry. Snow, who was also under a sleeping curse, tells them she thinks the room was real. They hatch an idea - they can talk to Henry who can talk to Rumple to find them a way out.
Back to sleep Aurora and back to the fiery room with the disco floor to talk to Henry, tell him Snow and Emma are fine and ask for his help
Henry wakes up and tells Regina and Charming that Emma and Snow are alive yay! And they need Rumple's help to stop... Regina's mother. Much less yay.
Time to go see Rumple, who is having a burger date at Grannies with Belle (Granny, like everyone else, hates him. I'd almost pity him if he weren't so utterly awesome). Regina comes in and tells Rumple they need to talk - Granny tries to empty the diner fearing a black magic duel, but Regina assures her it's ok. Rumple snarks at Regina ("hey Belle, this is the woman who locked you up for 28 years") and makes it clear she'll get nothing from him. But Regina mentions Cora is coming - Rumple says he handled her before - in the end - but Regina points out this time he has someone he cares about that Cora can target.
In Fairyland, the gang look for a safe space for Aurora to sleep and find Henry again - and Mulan notices Aurora's arm is burned. Realising it's from the dream she tells Aurora not to risk her life for strangers - but Aurora is determined to help.
In Storybrooke, Henry prepares to sleep in Rumple's shop (Regina bringing his blanket from home - I do like that we're holding on to Regina has Henry's mother - the series has been awful in that regard) and Regina and Rumple snark over whether Rumple is more powerful than Cora or not (I love these two sniping at each other). Rumple gives Henry the way to capture Cora - the same way that was used by Snow and Charming to capture him - using an ink from the bottom of the ocean, accessible only by mermaids. Or him, he has a private supply. Because he's Rumplestiltskin, of course - and they'll find that in his gaol cell.
A great plan but the message in the fiery disco is interrupted by Mulan waking Aurora early - their camp has been overrun by Cora's zombies. In the fighting, the group gets separated and Aurora is taken. In Storybrooke, Henry wakes to tell them that he couldn't get a message through - and he also has burns.
Aurora is held captive by Cora who was apparently aiming for someone else. She hopes that she can trade Aurora for the compass and questions why Aurora is loyal to them. In exchange for her co-operation, Cora offers to tell her how to get Phillip's soul back from the wraith - but Aurora isn't having it, nor will she sell her loyalty.
