Underbrooke:
The episode starts with Henrry and Cruella driving around looking for signs to where the Pen could be. Henry sees a bright light and they stop and go into the woods. Henry goes a little further and runs into the Apprentice. The Apprentice tells him he shouldn't resurrect Cruella. Henry wonders why the Apprentice told him that he coudn't bring back the dead with the pen. The Apprentice explains that
'up there' you can't but the rules are a bit more flexible in the Underworld. Henry is tired of being on the sidelines and not being able to do anything when his mom became the Dark one and when Hook died. The Apprentice tells him that the pen is in the Underworld version of the sorceror's mansion down here. He says that his unfinished business is Henry and the only way for him to move on is if Henry makes the right choice.
At Emma's house, she heals Hook with her magic and he wonders if he deserves saving. He mentions that Emma was the Dark One for 6 weeks and only gave in for love but he dived right in for revenge. They are then greeted by a vsitor: Liam.
Later Emma, Hook, and Liam are sitting at the kitchen table. Hook wonders why Liam is down here since he hasn't donee a bad thing in his life. Liam says he doesn't know. They tell him that they want to defeat Hades and ask Liam if he knows a possible way. Liam mentions that there are talks about a book that had Hades weakness in it. Emma and Hook realize it's the Underworld version of the storybook from Storybrooke.
At the apartment, Snow looks in a box from her closet since that's were they found it in Storybrooke and it's not there. They all split up around the apartment to look. While Emma is upstairs, Liam comes up and wants to talk to her. He says that he knows Emma isn't good enough for Killian because she didn't let him die a hero and move on. He says that after defeating Hades, he'll have another chance to move on and to let him.
After coming downstairs, Henry comes in and asks what everyone is doing. After explaining, Henry says that he knows where it is. He says he saw the Apprentice at Granny's and he said the Sorceror's Mansion is down here and it has all his stuff down here like the storybook, but the sheriff has the key. Snow and David leave to go get the key.
At the sherrif's office, Snow realises it's in the exact same place that David keeps the keys in Storybrooke. They then hear Cruella come in thinking James is in there.
At Liam's bar, Hades appears and asks him to tear the pages of his story out of the book. Liam wonders why Hades can't do it himself and he says that the sorceror's mansion is protected by light magic which doesn't agree with him. Liam asks what would happen if he refused. Hades says that he'll tell his brother why he's really down here.
At Granny's, Emma and Regina are waiting and Regina realises that Liam doesn't like Emma. Emma says he doesn't think he's good enough for Hook and should let him move on and that Hook agrees. Reginaa says it's because he hasn't forgiven himself. She says that because she knows she and Hook are alike and forgiving yourself is the hardest thing to do. Henry then comes in with the key.
At the sorceror's mansion, Liam says he should be the one to use the key since he's been dead the longest and has the least to lose. After going in they all split up and Emma and Regina tell Henry to stay in the main area. After they leave, Henry goes off also to searh for the pen.
Liam comes across the book first and rips the pages out. They all come to the room as welll and discover the pages were ripped out. Liam saysthey must have fallen out and are still here somewhere. After Regina and Liam leave to keep searching, Hook confronts Emma and she thinks that Lim is hiding something. Hook disagrees and says that his brother wouuldn't lie.
Back at the sherrif's office, David is still pretending to be James with Cruella. He then stops pretending and realises Cruella new the whole time. She says that James is resentful that their mother chose David instead of Jmes to keep.
At the well, otside the mention, Liam drops the pages down. emma comes over and shows Liam that Hook gave her Liam's ring saying it belonged to a better man then him. Hook comes over and thinks Emma is accusing Liam of being a villian so he feels like less of one. He says he doesn't want to return to Storybrooke and wants his fate to be chosen here. Emma says he just has to forgive himself and walks away. Hok realizes Emma was right because Lima has ink from the pages on his hand. Then the old crew with Captain Silver show p to tell Hook what Liam did to him.
Captain Silver reveals that he was listening in on Hades and Liam interaction at the bar and then kidnaps them and takes them to the cliff where you can either move on or fall to a worse place. Hades shows up and blows Catain Silver down into the fire pit. He says that Liam kept up his end of the bargain and gets to stay but Hook escaped his prison and has to pay. Lia says he won't let him hurt Killian. Hades then blows Liam offf. Hook catche him adnn tels him that he needs to forgive himself. Liam says he can't after what he did to him and lets go. That sacrifice was enough to let Liam move on with the crew. Liam tells Killian that he was wrong and Emma does want what's best for him
Back at the sorceror's mansion Hook tells Emma what happened and that he decided that he would come back to Storybrooke after it's all over.
Alsewhere in the mansion, Henry searches around and sees a glowing light. He goes over to it and takes sheets of it and sees the pen and ink under a lampshade.
Back at the apartment Regina, Snow, Emma, Hook, and David are lookin through the book and realise Liam ripped out every page about Hades. David says Henry knows the most about storybooks and asks where he is. Emma says he's upstairs going full emo teenager and Regina adds that he doesn't want to talk to anyone. David says maybe he just doesn't want to talk with his mothers.
Upstairs, David asks what Henry's doing. He says he's just thiinking. David asks what he's thinking about. Henry doesn't want to talk about it. David says that he realized his brother resented him his whole life. Henry knows that he grew up as a prince. David says maybe he wanted what he ha, a loving mother. He tells Henry that people would give everything to have a family like Henry because no matter what, he has someone to talk too. When he leaves, Henry decides to tell him something.
Back downstairs, he shows everyone that the Author's Pen is down here. Regina says she thought he destroyed it. He says that just brought it down. He says he wants to be the hero instead of the persen the hero saves. He says it was Cruella that made him want to use it. She wanted him to bring her back to life. He says that he wanted to help to help Emma because Cruella said she has this guilt about killing her. Emma says she unstertands him wanting to be a hero, but that' s not the way to do it. Henry says he knows and wants to use the pen the right way and write Hades' story. They wonder what Hades could be trying to keep from them

Final Thoughts:
I enjoyed it more for Henry's part of the episode. zthe flashbacks didn't interest me that much and it was a little hard for me to understand some of the dialogue with the sounds of the wve and storm and loud music. To me it seems like they tried to cram a Henry centric and Hook centric into one episode. The stories didn't seem to mash up together that well.. Maybe they were trying to connect them because both Henry and Hook/Killian talk about wanting to be a hero. I'll give this an 8/10 mostly for the Henry aspects of the episode.
