And then, Hades made a deal with Belle by telling her that it could determine the fate of her unborn child.
At the end of the episode, Hook and Snow attempted to reverse the graveyard spell, but it doesn't work. And finally, when Hook sensed a white cyclone coming from Oz, Hook, Emma, Snow, and Regina went to the woods, where Emma used her magic to take the creature out, which turned out to be a werewolf, who Snow discovers is actually Ruby/Red Riding Hood, who just ended up in the Underworld.
