"Only You" is the twenty-second episode of the fifth season of the American fantasy drama series Once Upon a Time and the first part of the show's fifth-season finale, which aired on May 15, 2016.
At the Clock tower, Gold is looking for another way to wake up Belle, and begins to look at the Olympian crystal, which he'll use to tether all the magic from Storybrooke.
Back at the Diner, Emma wants to talk to Regina but suddenly they hear a noise, and witnesses a series of beams shooting outside from the Olympian crystal.
Realizing that Gold is behind it, everyone traces the disturbance to the tower; Emma and Regina figure out that Gold couldn't wake Belle with True Love's kiss since she doesn't love him anymore, so he stole Storybrooke's magic as part of a plan to wake her.
Regina then uses a needle on Emma's bloody finger on the map where to find Henry and Violet, leading them to New York City.
Henry tells Violet that his father Neal was trying to destroy magic before he died, so they make plans to find his journal.
Regina admits to Emma that she will never be at peace with herself as she wondered should she become the Evil Queen again because she feels cursed and will never find redemption, realizing that the more good that she does, the more people she loses.
Henry breaks the glass, steals the item and stashes it in his bag, after seeing that it is capable of sapping magic from the Olympian Crystal.
He creates a portal using the wand, and pulls Pandora's Box from New York City, thus throwing a wrench into Gold's plans to free Belle from the sleeping curse.
"[1] In a review from Rickey.org, Nick Roman said, "Last week, I was pretty miffed about Once Upon A Time and its treatment of Regina (Lana Parrilla).
While I ultimately liked the episode, it felt like the show was continuing to use her as a punching bag to move the plot forward.
Regina thankfully didn't go back to her Evil Queen ways and they, in fact, put a fresh spin on her turmoil and tied it nicely to the Jekyll/Hyde mythology.
Two jam-packed episodes after a somewhat sleepy half season in the Underworld was jarring and made you realize how much story the show can churn through when it's not stretching out a "themed" plot.
), it pulls out actual insight about the duplicitousness of personality, handily personified by Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, as well as the Evil Queen herself, Regina.
