The beginning of the episode starts off with Emma, Mulan, Aurora, Snow and Hook at the base of the beanstalk. Hook says there are no more magic beans and the compass is at the top. He also tells them Jack killed all but one giant, the strongest and most terrible of them all and they will have to get past him to find the compass. The compass will be able to guide them home. Hook also says that Cora can open a portal from the ashes of the wardrobe, but only the compass will let her find their land.

The giants have put a spell on the beanstalk so no one can climb up. Luckily they have these special wristbands, but only two.

The shot then jumps to Portland, Oregon, eleven years earlier, and we notice a familiar bug.

And nope, she definitely didn't buy it!

Turns out she wasn't alone in the car. Whoops!

They talk in the car and Emma is distracted and runs a stop sign. She gets pulled over and the cop asks for license and registation la dee dah and Neil (the guy up there) says he's teaching his girlfriend how to drive stick. He makes a reference to women drivers and gets this look, which I think is priceless. We also learn it's not his car either. Emma stole a stolen car. How ironic.

Next we go back to the base of the beanstalk. After a little bickering Emma decides she's going up the beanstalk with Hook, and Mulan gives her a powder that will put the giant to sleep. Emma also tells Mulan to cut the beanstalk down if they are not back in ten hours. I don't know how long that beanstalk is, but from what I gather it's pretty huge. I don't know how their arms haven't fallen off from exhaustion. Hook and Emma talk about love and Emma says she's never been in love and then the scene goes to Portland.

Neal and Emma are in a store and Emma looks preggo. Neal asks the cashier for directions and has a map. They're actually stealing and when a guy walks in and sees Neal putting candy bars in his pocket, he begins to say something and Emma cries out as if the baby is coming.

Obviously, she wasn't pregnant after all.

They kiss and it's obvious Emma lied about being in love. Then they sneak into a hotel room. They see a dream-catcher and this leads to Neal suggesting they get a real place and tells Emma to close her eyes and point and that would be their new home. She points to Tallahassee. Then they kiss again and the scene goes to Mulan drawing in the sand to keep time.

After Mulan goes to nap, Snow and Aurora begin talking and we learn Aurora doesn't sleep much because she has nightmares as a side effect of the sleeping curse. Snow said she's had them too and tells Aurora she'll watch over her as she sleeps.

Hook and Emma have finally reached the top of the beanstalk. Emma's hand is cut so Hook says he can help and pours Rum on it. Then they discuss a plan. Hook wants to wait until the giant is alseep and sneak past him, but Emma has other ideas. Emma also sees a tattoo on his arm and asks who Mila is. She then realizes that is why Hook wants revenge on Rumpelstiltskin.

Then it goes back to Portland and Neal has a wanted flyer with him on it. He explains he stole watches at a place he worked and they can't go to Tallahassee. He has to go to Canada alone. Emma says she will get the watches from where they are hidden, then they can change their identities and still go to Tallahassee. They get all lovey dovey and then it goes back to the top of the beanstalk.

Hook has what looks like a bone in his hand and he starts banging on this ginormous shield. We then hear a really big yell and the giant comes out. I laughed so hard when I saw him. He doesn't look scary at all!

Hook lures the giant over and Emma throws the powder in his face and he passes out.

Down at the bottom of the beanstalk, Aurora is having a nightmare. Snow wakes her up and Aurora said she was in a room with blood red curtains. She was trapped and the curtains were on fire. She also says she was hunched in a corner and she could see that there was someone else there and he was looking right at her. Snow comforts her and promises the dreams will go away.

The scene cuts to Emma and she's getting out the watches. Then it swaps to Emma with Hook walking around, looking for the compass. They find a lot of treasure...

and Jack..

Hooks almost sets off a trip wire, and then the scene goes to Emma running up to the car with the watches. Neal tells her where to meet up with him later. Neal is walking and notices someone is following him so he takes off.

Turns out, it's August!!

He tells Neal to consider him as Emma's guardian angel and basically tells him that if he really loves Emma he will leave her. He then tells Neal he will believe in magic one day and says he has something to show him that will make him look at everything different. Neal looks inside the box and August tells him there is a curse that needs to be broken, Emma is the key to breaking it, and he was tasked to keeping her on track. He tells Neal that he is going to tell him a story and he must decide if he will do the right thing.

It's pretty evident what his decision is because Emma is waiting and Neal's phone has been disconnected.

Then a cop yells something about setting her up and explains that they got a tip telling them to watch the surveillance at the train station. Emma is then handcuffed.

Then we are back to Hook and Emma looking for the compass. Suddenly the ground starts rumbling and the giant appears. Rocks then fall on Hook.

Then the scene cuts to two months after Emma was arrested, but in Vancouver, Canada. August and Neal are meeting up and August tells him Emma got eleven months. Neal also gives August a big wad of cash and the keys with the key chain and tells him to make sure Emma gets it, along with the car. Then they talk some more and August agrees that if anything changes and Emma has done her job and is free, he will send Neal a post card, which is what happened at the beginning on a previous episode.

Oh my gosh. I laughed so hard when this happened!

He starts squeezing Emma to death so Emma does this...CHOMP!

He drops Emma and Emma runs, picks up Jack's sword and cuts the trip wire, which traps the giant. Turns out, the sword is dipped in some kinds of poison and she uses this to get the giant to give her the compass. The giant is convinced that all humans are killers and Emma tells him he is wrong.

Then all of a sudden, he breaks his little cage, and moves a rock, which exposes something that looks like a mouse hole.

The giant tells Emma he owes her a favor for not killing him and Emma tells him actually he owes her two. Then all of a sudden she is helping Hook out from the rocks that fell on him. Then she chains him up and tells him she can't take a chance that she's wrong about him. Then she tells him the giant isn't going to eat him; she just needs a head start.

Back at the base of the beanstalk, Mulan notices the time and starts to cut down the beanstalk. Snow and Mulan get in a tussle and then Emma jumps down. Emma tells them they have to hurry because they only have ten hours before Hook will be let go. Then there's a heart felt moment between Emma and Snow.

Then Emma is in the jail and a guard comes in. She gives her her mail, which is the car keys with the key chain.

We also find out she's expecting a baby! We now know who Henry's daddy is..

Then it goes to a scene where Henry is sleeping. All of a sudden he wakes up screaming. Charming runs downstairs and comforts him and lights a candle, like he did for Snow to keep the bad dreams away. Henry explains his dream. He says he was in a room with no windows or doors and curtains were on fire. He was huddled in a corner and there was another person in the room and she was looking at him- Exactly like Aurora's nightmare.
