The hieroglyphs that Henry’s been scribbling are about the final battle Emma is going to have to fight. David knows all about this. Rumple told David and Snow back in the Enchanted Forest that Emma was destined to be the savior, but she would have to fight the final battle. They thought the final battle simply meant breaking the Dark Curse. Emma believes she’s not going to lose, but David doesn’t want her to fight this battle alone. He asks Regina where she’s at with trying to break the sleeping curse. She has something, but it might be dangerous. David is willing to try anything to help Emma and so is Snow.

They figure out that there’s a way they can be reunited with Emma. But there’s a catch. She’s only 18, and she’s not supposed to break the curse and fulfill her destiny until she’s 28. If they go to her now, she’ll never become the savior. Rumple gives Snow and David a potion that will put them back under the curse. David doesn’t want to waste another minute without Emma, but Snow knows they can’t be selfish. Emma has to become the savior so she can save everyone. This is not just about Snow, David,and Emma.
