"The Brothers Jones" is the fifteenth episode of the fifth season of the American fantasy drama series Once Upon a Time, which aired on March 27, 2016.

In this episode, Emma is suspicious of Liam when Hook is reunited with him; and Henry finds the quill and ink.

The Enchanted Forest events take place after the first flashback scene of "Swan Song" and before "Good Form".

In the early years of the Enchanted Forest, Liam and Killian are miserable and under servitude after their father sold them into slavery.

Some time later, their ship crosses paths with a hurricane en route to a sought-after treasure described as "The Eye of the Storm."

Knowing the dangers of venturing into the hurricane, Liam holds a successful mutiny against the crew's Captain Silver.

Emma suspects Liam of lying and tells Hook, who refuses to believe her, and suggests that they break up after escaping the Underworld.

After Emma storms off, Hook notices that Liam has ink on his fingers, and Captain Silver and the deceased crew appear.

However, Hades appears, blows Captain Silver into the Phlegethon, the River of Fire, and offers Liam a chance to escape, pleased that he destroyed the pages.

Despite this, a boat appears with Liam, who is ready to enter a better afterlife (his unfinished business was making peace with Killian).

In a review from Rickey.org, Nick Roman said, "“The Brothers Jones” is a strong episode for characterization on Once Upon A Time, since it illustrates how several characters have both matured and acquired a much-needed sense of self-awareness.

"[1] Andrea Towers of Entertainment Weekly gave it a good review, noting the scenes with Victoria Smurfit are the best part of the episode.
