Underbrooke: Emma and Rumple rescue Hook with Milah's help, Rumple learns news about Belle.
Enchanted Forest:
Milah and Rumple are walking through the forest with Baelfire and she gets mad that Rumple isn't helping her work. He says he's chasing dragonflys with Baelfire While they are arguing, Bae gets poisoned by a snake.
They go to a healer who says the snake that poisoned him has a 24 hour poison. The magic cure for it would be 100 gold coins. They leave and Milah says she wants Rumple to go back and steal the cure and killing the healer.
At a pub, Milah buys a dagger for Rumple to kill the healer with. After Rumple leaves, Milah meets Killian who she at first declined his offer to go with him since she has a husband and son.
Rumple goes to the healer and is about to kill him but can't, the healer says they can make a deal instead of paying for the cure.
At their house, they give Bae the cure, and Rumple reveals the deal was to ive up his second born child. Milah gets upset and walks out.
Much later as the Dark One, Rumple goes back to the healer and kills him, saying he can't pay a debt to a dead man
Underbrooke:
Regina, Cruella, and Snow Story
Regina goes to the diner and the Blind Witch isn't there but sees Cruella. Cruella and Regina sit down and she asks her how the tombstones work. Cruella says there are three settings: Upright - in Underbrooke, Tipped Over - moved on to a better place, Cracked - moved on to a worse place. Regina reveals that her magic isn't working.
Snow goes with Regina through the gravetard and come across Daniel's and it's tipped over. After a scene there, they walk off and there's a horse lying on the ground hurt. Regina saves it with her magic and checks to make sure her magic's back.
Emma, Hook, Hades, and Milah Story
Down in Hades lair, Hook refuses to write any of his friends names on the tombstones. Hades takes him to a boat on the River of Lost Souls.
Rumple goes into the pawnshop and sees a note from Pan saying that he's letting Rumple have the shop and his offer is still available if he wants it. He creates a crystal ball and says "Show me who I seek" and it shows Belle having lunch with Leroy at Granny's. He freaks out and drops and breaks the crystal ball.
He goes into the Underorld apartment where the rest of the group is and they are getting ready to go save Hook. Rumple says that it would be too much people to go into Hades lair saying their will be barriers for living people. Rumple says that he will help Emma with the hel of a dead person's aura.
Rumple goes to reunite with Milah who is a crossing guard down here. He convinces her to help them save Killian. He introduces Milah to Emma in probably the most awkward scene this show has had.
They go to the Underbrooke version of Emma's house and hold hands to pass the barrier to the basement. Emma tells Milah abou her vision/dream appearance of Neal/Baelfire. Milah says that she will help Emma save Hook.
Rumple, Milah, and Emma go on a boat over the The River of Lost Souls. Emma goes out to save Hook. Rumple says he'll stay with the boat and Milah decides to stay with him just in case he does something.
Emma saves Hook from being dropped in the Lost Souls River.
Milah and Rumple talk about how Milah's unfinished business is saying sorry to Baelfire. She gets out of the boat and looks at the souls. Hades shows up and freezes her. Hades asks Rumple about making a deal.
In Hades lair, Hades tells Rumple he wants him to destroy the boat he finds and he will let him go home. When he goes back to where Milah is, He destroys the boat and then throws Milah into the river. Hook and Emma come back and Rumple lies that Hades destroyed the boat and pushed Milah in.
He poofs them back to the apartment. Everyone congratulates Emma on saving him. Regina says now that her magic is back they can do the heart split between Emma and Hook. She tries to take Emma;s heart out but it doesn't work.
They all go to the graveyard and see that Hades went ahead and choose three names to put on the tombstones since Hook didn't: Regina Mills, Snow White, and Emma Swan. So thhose three are now stuck in Underbrooke.
Rumple goes back to Hades lair so Hades can let him go home. Hades says he realized Rumple was hiding something and brings up the crystal ball from the beginning of the episode and says Rmple wasn't wanting to see Belle in the ball, he was looking for his son. He asked the crystal child to show him his child. It's revealed that Belle is pregnant, and the healer from the Enchanted Forest just signed over the contract to Hades. So now Rumple works with Hades

Final Thoughts:
This episode was okay. I enjoyed the akward introduction with Emma and Milah. Regina not being able to use her magic came out of nowhere, especially since Emma was able to use hers the previous episode just fine, I liked the scene with Regina and Snow at Daniel's grave, but the rest of her story; her scene with Cruella,her magic not working, and the horse, seemed really unnecesarry and shoe-horned in just to fill up time in the episode. I like Cruella's character but she really wasn't needed in this episode. Anyone else could have told her about the setting of the gravestones. I'll give this episode a 6/10. There were things I did like, but there were a good amount of moments where I was looking at my phone wondering how much longer the episode was
I'll explain why I didn't like Cruella in this episode. If you've read my posts before, you can probably tell that my favorite character is Henry. I was worried when I saw the writer of this episode, because her 2 episodes of 5A didn't feature Henry. I got my hopes up a little too much when I saw the press release mention Cruella was in the episode. My thoughts were 'Why would they set up a plot between Henry and Cruella, have Cruella in the next episode and not continue it'.
I admit in her last two episodes, I'm not sure when you could write Henry in, but he could have been a big part of this episode since he's blood-related to Milah. They could have worked something out so that Milah could meet Henry and that would have been enough to let her move on to the better place to reunite with Baelfire/Neal. So, see tommorow for the 5x15 Review.
