Emma arrives in Storybrooke with Henry and reunites with her friends and family, only to discover that no one remembers how they were transported back--or the past year they had spent back in Fairy Tale Land. But Emma is sure that someone in town is responsible for this new curse and teams up with Regina in an attempt to uncover their identity. Meanwhile, in Fairy Tale Land during the past year, Regina, with the aid of Robin Hood, attempts to break into her castle, which has been overtaken by the Wicked Witch.

Hook suggests tracking down Tinker Bell to help locate Pan's hideout; Neal devises a plan that could transport him to Emma; and Tinker Bell offers to help Regina improve her life.

In the season four premiere, a scared and confused Elsa finds herself in Storybrooke and creates a powerful snow monster for protection. With Robin Hood's wife, Marian, back in the picture, Regina wonders if her "happily ever after" with the former thief has been completely quashed; while on their honeymoon, Mr. Gold finds an intriguing object that makes him question whether or not he should officially give Belle control over the dagger that makes him The Dark One, and Hook is dismayed to discover that Emma seems to be avoiding him. Meanwhile, in Arendelle of the past, Anna discovers that her parents were on a quest that may have held the secret to containing Elsa's ice powers.

Neal finds himself back in Storybrooke and yearns for a way to reconnect with his son Henry, whose memories of his father are gone, while also trying to find his own father, Rumplestiltskin, whom he has just learned is alive but missing, and Regina discovers a possible connection with Robin Hood. Meanwhile, in the Fairy Tale Land that was over the past year, agonizing over the death of his father, Neal--with the help of Belle and enchanted candelabra Lumiere--attempts to find a magical solution to bring back Rumplestiltskin from the dead.

After Zelena steals Regina's heart, Regina casts a spell so that she can speak across the realms to her dead mother, Cora, to discover the truth about why she abandoned Zelena, and Belle stumbles across what Zelena's ultimate end game is. Meanwhile, in the Fairy Tale Land that was, young Cora is duped by a man claiming to be a prince and finds herself alone and pregnant. But a chance meeting with a real prince could lead Cora to the royal life she's always craved, but she must keep her pregnancy a secret or risk losing everything.
