"Leaving Storybrooke" is the twenty-second episode of the seventh season and the 155th and final episode overall of the American fantasy-drama series Once Upon a Time. Written by Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz, and directed by Ralph Hemecker, it premiered on ABC in the United States on May 18, 2018.
In the episode, the Wish Realm Rumplestiltskin’s plan to eliminate all the happy endings of all the characters in every realm is revealed, as Sir Henry prepares to kill Regina as part of the scheme, while Alice and Robin seek out help from Storybrooke to rescue Henry, Jacinda, Lucy, Hook, and Weaver, who is ready to risk everything to stop his evil counterpart from carrying out his plan.
The “Leaving Storybrooke” city limits sign is displayed. The Seattle scenery is not featured.
The Wish Realm events and the outcome involving the realms from previous encounters occurs after the events of “Homecoming.”
As Alice and Robin arrived in Storybrooke, they find the dwarfs, Granny, Archie and Pongo. They explain a fifth Dark Curse took them, along with the future versions of Henry, Regina and Mr. Gold to Seattle in the past (which is the present day). However, due to the numerous outsiders in the past that has caused Storybrooke trouble, they are met with hostility. Alice and Robin hide.
As they hide from the residents, the ladies encounter Zelena, and it doesn’t take long for Robin to tell her mother about not having magic and that she’s about to drive her younger self to daycare. Convinced, Zelena and the other two seek out David and Mary Margaret.
Inside the snowglobe prison, Henry is reunited with Ella and Lucy. Weaver explains to Hook that Wish Realm Rumplestiltskin has stripped him of his powers and immortality, and that his Wish Realm counterpart had used them to amplify his own powers. As they attempt to break the glass, Weaver admits to Hook that he trusted him as a loyal partner because of his bravery and his good heart. Suddenly, Maui's fishhook appears in the snowglobe, with the handle sticking up out of the snow. Hook grabs it and uses it to start breaking the glass from the inside; from the outside, a pair of arrows pierce the glass, and they’re freed by Robin and Alice.
At the palace, Regina is dragged to the location where Snow and Charming had been married, by Sir Henry. Regina pleads with Sir Henry to change his mind despite admitting to having killed his grandparents. Sir Henry responded to her plea by cutting a slit on her hand (that Henry will use to create blood ink) and tells her that they’ll fight each other, which Sir Henry says that will be his happy ending. While locked in a cell, Regina has a dream, in which she meets with Robin's spirit. Robin encourages her, telling her that she can still find happiness without him or Facilier, and that just needs to show Sir Henry that he can still find love. Awakening, Regina discovers that Robin's spirit had left her with a red feather from one of his arrows.
