After taking some, they return home and gives it to their mother, successfully curing her injury. Immediately, Nyx, the guardian of the Well of Wonders arrives at their home, accusing Taj, Cyrus and Rafi of stealing the water from her well. As punishment, she curses them into genies, trapping them into separate bottle and sends them to various locations throughout Agrabah. ("Dirty Little Secrets")

Brought to the throne room to be punished, the Sultan notices that Jafar has a ring on his finger, figuring out that Jafar is Ulima's son and his bastard son. The Sultan, however, refuses to accept Jafar as his own son. Instead, he makes Jafar into a servant at the Palace. During a diplomatic meeting, Jafar oversteps his boundary when he answers a question meant for Prince Mirza who couldn't answer it.

At the Capital of Agrabah's marketplace, Jafar punishes a group of thieves by turning them into rats. At the time, Aladdin pickpockets the unaware citizens and rushes for cover after seeing the punishment being carried out. At a safe area, Aladdin counts his findings, only to be interrupted by a women. The women reveals herself as Princess Jasmine, recruiting Aladdin to help her locate the Diamond of the Rough to defeat Jafar from controlling her father, the Sultan of Agrabah. During their conversation, a Red Bird spies on them. Aladdin and Princess Jasmine later travels in the dessert to the Cave of Wonders where they find the diamond to be fake. Instead, the ceiling of the cave collapses on them but before it could hurt them, Aladdin uses magic and shields them from harm.

The dwarves build an underground prison sealed with magic that is capable to trap Rumplestiltskin. Cinderella then lure Rumplestiltskin into making another deal.

Rumplestiltskin tells her that the curse is coming and they will all be trapped in someplace horrible where time will stand still. He also tells her that her unborn child is the key in breaking the curse in twenty-eight years time. Forming the War Council, Prince Charming and the other members debate on whether to kill the Evil Queen before she cast her curse. During the discussion, the Blue Fairy interrupts with a magical tree. She tells Snow and Prince Charming that the magical tree can be made into a wardrobe which will protect only one person from the curse and will transport him or her to another land. Geppetto agrees and says that he and Pinocchio can build the wardrobe. Snow has skeptical thoughts on the plan, but Prince Charming assures her that she and their child will find him years later. ("Pilot")

Assembling a group of dark souls, the Evil Queen demands a lock of hair from each of them as ingredients to cast the curse and threatens to harm them if they don't comply. After getting the ingredients, she mixes them with the heart of her prized stallion as sacrifice to complete the spell to enact the curse. However, the curse barely works and fails within seconds. One of the participants, the Gnome, laughs at the Evil Queen's failure and in return, she turns him into a statue. The Evil Queen then goes to Rumplestiltskin's prison cell to seek his guidance. Rumplestiltskin tells her that she will need to sacrifice the heart of the thing she love most in order for the curse to works. Devastated at his answer, the Evil Queen returns home. Upon returning, her father, Prince Henry, asks her whether she had got her answer. The Evil Queen mentions to him that she will have to sacrifice his heart as he is the thing she love most. Becoming emotional, she asks her father about her next move. Despite his plea to give up on revenge, she kills him and uses his heart to complete the spell. As the curse begins to form, the Evil Queen lays a rose on her father's grave, proving her love for him. She then proceeds to her carriage to get to the Royal Castle. ("The Thing You Love Most")

Upon the casting of the Dark Curse, Snow White goes into labor, giving birth to a healthy baby girl, Emma. As Prince Charming notes that they had failed, Snow tells him to take Emma to the wardrobe and to have hope that Emma will find them in twenty-eight years. On the way to the wardrobe, Prince Charming battles with the Black Knights that are invading the castle under the Evil Queen's command. Successfully killing them all, he places Emma into the wardrobe and kisses her on the forehead before shutting the wardrobe. Moments later, he is stabbed by a Black Knight and is left for death. Snow finds him moments later and tries to wake him up with true love's kiss as the Evil Queen arrives and demands to know about the child's fate. After finding out that the child escaped, Snow mocks the Evil Queen, saying that she is going to lose. The Evil Queen wickedly laughs, signalling that the curse has arrived.
