This is a concept image for "Of Curses Broken and Breaking"

Where Henry gets Belle and Rumple to Join Operation Cobra.

(This would be the Storybrooke equivalent to "To Break Any Curse", and I am sure an actual episode would flip back and forth between the two stories)

Henry, I-- I’m really sorry I hurt you. It wasn’t my intention to hurt you... I just never thought I’d see your father again and he hurt me. I didn’t want to take the risk that he would do the same thing to you one day. You mean a lot to me. I love you, Henry. I made a choice thinking I was protecting you, but now I know it was the wrong one. I’m-- I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.

Once Upon A Time 6×21-22 “The Final Battle” Recap

Spoilers Ahead

And they lived happily ever after.

Episode Summary: The Black Fairy’s curse hits Storybrooke trapping Killian, Snow, Charming, Regina, Zelena, and co. in the Enchanted Forest while Emma’s in a Psychiatric Hospital and it’s up to Henry to help her believe again. As it turns out, if Emma stops believing that the life she once had is real, it’ll fade from existence. Rumple faces his mother one last time. The families reunite. And they live happily ever after.

Review | Analysis: Once Upon A Time is a special show — for six years it has allowed us to begin our weeks with the faith and belief that no matter how hard things get, there’s always a happy ending in store. And while the “The Final Battle” was anything but a perfect episode, the stories it told were beautiful. Once Upon A Time may not be over for good, but a prodigious chapter has ended — a chapter that’s changed lives. A little bit of happiness in the midst of dark days where television series are uncertain, but where Once Upon A Time was concerned, we always knew it’d end well. It’d end leaving us with a surplus of hope. It’d leave us braver, kinder, better than ever.
