"Our Decay" is the sixteenth episode of the fifth season of the American fantasy drama series Once Upon a Time, which aired on April 3, 2016.

Her flying monkeys bring back a Scarecrow, whose brain she plans to steal and use to create a time travel spell to alter history.

They arrive and Zelena takes The Scarecrow’s brain, but leaves Dorothy alive to prevent turning her into a martyr and to humiliate her.

In the Underworld, the clock hand ticks again, signifying that yet another soul had moved on,[note 1] while Hades reflects on the page depicting him with Zelena.

Later on, Zelena surprises Robin, Regina, Emma, Henry, David and Snow and told them about the portal that brought her, Belle and the baby to the Underworld.

Henry also shows them more drawings, including the story of baby Neal hearing his parents, indicating that Snow and David succeeded in getting the message to their son.

Hades later admits to having feelings for her, claiming that he was simply trying to summon her daughter to keep it away from her enemies, and even going as far as creating an Underworld version of Storybrooke for them to share together.

Andrea Towers of Entertainment Weekly gave it a positive review, noting the chemistry between Rebecca Mader and Greg Germann.

Two characters known for being evil need extra time to make genuine feelings convincing, and it didn't happen here.
