This is followed by the voice-over saying, "The king of Underworld enters our world, igniting a devastating conflict that someone will not survive, breaking the very heart of Storybrooke forever." Hades then takes the Crystal and says, "This is not going to kill you, it is going to end you."

The video ends with a funeral, where Emma is crying and Regina looks heartbroken. Co-creator Eddy Kitsis spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the episode and teased that "everyone should be frightened". Kitsis revealed that the pre-finale episode will be "very emotional" and "may break a few hearts".
