Anything your heart desires will come to you.
Well, last night I spotted a shower of sparks shooting over Manhattan.
Find a way to restore Storybrookes citizens memories.

Lo and behold, earlier this evening I found that all my deepest desires had been granted.
And its all thanks to the power of Twue Wuv.
As the finale begins, Charming is doing his darndest to escape Reginas dungeon.
Who is this masked man?
Aww, good dog!
Meanwhile, a puzzled Dr. Whale is examining Henry in Storybrookes one hospital room.
(Seriously, isnt that the same set where David once languished in his coma?)
The kids totally still and unresponsive, but he has no symptoms suggesting a neurotoxin.
Its almost like his catatonia was triggered by… magic, finishes Emma.
Who knows either way, Emma is onto Regina.
NEXT: Battle Magicale
Cue Rumpelstiltskin popping up in Fairy Land as well.
At first, James isnt willing to play Rumpels game.
Finally, the prince acquiesces, and Rump pulls out his glowing vial of Love Potion #9.
Pro tip: Never play Hide and Seek with Rumpelstiltskin.
Emma and Regina trek down to Goldtown, where the shopkeeper instantly senses that Emmas become a believer.
(She, like the concoction itself, is a product of Snow White and Prince Charmings love.)
To end the hex once and for all, Emma will need to retrieve the rest of the potion.
Now that is a handsome Mothers Day present.
Before she can embark on her quest, Emma has to tie up a few loose ends.
Unfortunately, August isnt exactly a real boy anymore.
Emma gets there just in time to see her would-be caretaker transform back into a man-sized puppet.
Maybe this will be sorted out in Season 2.
In the meantime, Reginas got another problem to deal with.
Jefferson has appeared at the hospital, intending to collect on Reginas promise to reunite him with his daughter.
Jefferson doesnt take this lying down.
NEXT: Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus
Its go time for Emma and Regina.
Shes going to stand at the top, working the lifts controls; Emmas must descend in it alone.
Fairy tale logic: gotta love it.
Well, they say that the best solution is often the simplest.
The only thing left is the golden egg she was so helpfully incubating.
After RumpPrince Alis James some more fetching duds, Charming sets off in Snows direction.
Theres a glass coffin; theres a final kiss; theres a miraculous resurrection.
Hurrah, Twue Wuv wins!
As Emmas riding back up to the surface, the elevator abruptly stops.
Reginas been tied up outside the elevator; Gold is headed back to his shop with the stolen elixir.
There, Gold removes his prized Potion #9 from the golden egg.
Gold is utterly shocked the lady is real!
Shes still questionably Australian!
Now hes got a buddy to bring along on the next phase of his plan.
NEXT: Sometimes I am frightened / But Im ready to learn / Of the power… of looooove!
Both women are crying.
Emma slowly approaches her kids body and brushes his hair away from his forehead.
Then she leans down, whispers that she loves him, and kisses him.
Looks like she didnt need that Twue Wuv potion after all.
Her kiss and her declaration are magic enough to revive Henry and send shockwaves throughout Storybrooke.
Each one of the towns residents suddenly regains all of their Fairy Land memories.
Thats right Henry is alive, and the curse is officially over!
But who cares in any case, Maine just got a whole lot more interesting.
Its a little late to be trying for the sympathy vote, Mayor.
Get your hankies out, folks next up is the reunion weve been waiting to see since October.
David is on his way out of town when he realizes hes not really David.
The two recognize each other and come together for a massively romantic, camera-spinning kiss.
She never let go!
He had her at Hello!
It wasnt over; it still isnt over!
Gold or should I say Rumpelstiltskin?
leads Belle into the woods.
(Sorry that I just got every song from that musical stuck in your head.)
He reminds us that the wells waters can return that which one has lost.
But then Rumpelstiltskin dashes our expectations once again.
He drops the love potion into the well.
Soon, a giant cloud of purple smoke comes billowing out of it.
The smoke monster rolls through the woods and into the town, engulfing each character in turn.
As Regina sees it approach, her frown slowly turns into a satisfied smirk.
Because she knows what Rump has just done: Hes bringing magic to Storybrooke.
NEXT: Season 1s last breadcrumbs.
Leftover Breadcrumbs (great for making meatballs!)
Charming isnt just a good fighter hes freakingbrutalwhen he wants to be.
Witness, for example, the way he breaks one of Reginas guards arms with his bare hands.
Didnt Snow Dark do that once as well?
And speaking of fights: There were so many action sequences in this finale!
Which was your favorite?
The Huntsmans appearance was short but sweet.
I loved when Rump tossed Charmings ring in the air and then announced, This ring is now enchanted.
Next on his agenda?
Getting two tickets to that thing you love, thentransforming those tickets into diamonds.
Gold says hes saving True Love for a rainy day.
Emma: Well, its storming like a bitch.
Emma, trying to ask a gradually petrifying August for help: This is all too much.
I just talked to the Evil Queen and Rumpelstiltskin about a quest to find magic!
Maleficent shares the caverns under Storybrooke with Snows busted-up glass coffin.
What other magical treasures might be lurking below?
Also locked up in the Cuckoos Nest Asylum: Sidney Glass.
Unnecessary Henry Line of the Night: The curse.
I think you broke it!
So what happens to Pinocchio now?
Well, thats it for now, Oncelers.
In the meantime, share your feelings on A Land Without Magic below.
Was it all you could wish for on a star?
And what are you looking forward to seeing next season?
