"Homecoming" is the twenty-first episode of the seventh season and the 154th episode overall of the American fantasy-drama series Once Upon a Time. Written by David H. Goodman, and directed by Steve Pearlman, it premiered on ABC in the United States on May 11, 2018.
In the episode, Henry is forced into a deal by the Wish Realm Rumpelstiltskin by holding his family prisoner in order to retrieve the Dagger, but the plan also brings Regina, Hook, and a determined Weaver to the Wish Realm to find a way to stop him, not knowing that they’re in for a surprise from the trickster. In the past, the young Henry turns down the Wish Realm Rumpelstiltskin’s offer to help him despite the Alternative Dark One’s refusal to take no for an answer.
The “O” in the series’ fonts creates a portal.
During the early days of his travels through the realms, Henry comes to the rescue of a damsel in distress, but another prince arrives to save the day. Despite being disappointed, Henry lets things go, content to keep trying to find his story. The Wish Realm Rumpelstiltskin appears ready to give him a deal, but Henry turns him down, vowing never to make any deals.
With the curse destroyed, everyone is celebrating a new beginning. When Henry brings up Facilier to Regina, he started to wonder about him. At another part of town, Hook and Alice have a conversation but from afar. When Regina showed up at Facilier’s office, she finds Weaver tied up and released him and warned her about the Wish Realm Rumpelstiltskin.
Speaking of the Alternate Dark One, he surprised Henry at his apartment just as Henry, Ella, and Lucy were celebrating their reunion. When they blew out the candles on the cupcakes, Henry discovers Ella and Lucy gone. Rumpelstiltskin sent them away and is using them as bargaining chips by forcing Henry into attaining The Dagger, despite Henry's refusal to make deals. Henry later informed Regina, Hook, and Weaver about what happened. So the foursome, with the use of Hook’s magic hook, create a portal that brings them to the Wish Realm.
When Henry, Regina, Hook, and Weaver enter the Wish Realm, the portal splits the quartet up. Henry and Regina end up in Rumpelstiltskin’s castle and run into Peter Pan, who is being held in a gallow and warns the two about Rumpelstiltskin. They also run into another prisoner, a Wish Realm version of Cruella De Vil. After dealing with her, the two find Ella and Lucy trapped in a snow globe and discover that The Dark Rumpelstiltskin is the only one who can release them but because Henry brought along others he fills the snow globe with real snow and increases the temperatures to freeze them.
