Six weeks later, Regina showed the others a book where there is a huge question mark. Happy, one of the dwarves, showed up and he told David that Emma stole his axe. David wondered what Emma needed an axe for.
Emma needed the axe in order to try and get the sword from the stone. Gold told her that the axe would not help. She needed a hero to pull the sword out.
Meanwhile, David had promised to help Arthur look for all the magical objects in Camelot that have been lost. Hook noticed that Emma was hiding something. He demanded to know, but Emma needed his trust instead.
In the meantime, David revealed to Arthur that his daughter was the dark one. In the end, Emma became the dark one and she used to her power to turn Gold into a brand new hero with a clean slate.
