"Quiet Minds" is the fifteenth episode of the third season of the American fantasy drama series Once Upon a Time, and the show's 59th episode overall, which aired on March 30, 2014.
In this episode, 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 of 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.
Lumiere is featured in the background.
In the Enchanted Forest a year earlier, Belle and Neal talk about Rumplestilskin as they search for clues in his castle on how to find him. As they enter the library to check for any evidence, a voice starts calling for the two, and a face of flame in a candelabra is revealed to be Lumiere, who tells them Rumplestiltskin had him entrapped in this form as punishment. He directs them to a key with a triangular sign on it, which opens the vault where the first Dark One's dagger was made. A curious Neal agrees to use it, then blows Lumiere's candles out with Belle carrying it to the destination in the forest. Unbeknownst to Neal and Belle, Zelena enters the library, and is pleased that they fell for her trap using Lumiere as her minion, believing that they are not as smart as they think.
As Belle and Neal walk through the woods again, they find the location. Brushing away the snow, Neal finds a circular metal plate with symbols on it, in the ground. When Lumiere tells them he’s spent over 200 years in the library, Belle, who knows how long the library has actually been there, since Rumplestiltskin built the library for her, realizes that he is lying. Lumiere confesses that he works for Zelena, who cast the spell on him because she wants to find Rumplestlitskin's dagger, not knowing that if Neal does bring back his father there will be a price to pay. Believing he can save both his father and his family, Neal opens the crypt and he burns his hand, leaving the marked scar, and bubbling up from the ground is Rumplestiltskin. As he is finally reunited with Baelfire and Belle, they are interrupted by Zelena. Baelfire then falls to the ground, having learned that he has sealed his fate by saving Rumplestiltskin from Zelena, who then turns her attention to the dagger and takes control of the item away from him. She then orders Rumplestiltskin to kill Belle, but Lumiere uses his flames to hold Zelena back long enough for Belle to escape with him.
