Inside the tent, Victor holds up the heart above Daniel's corpse. We cut to the outside and watch from Regina's point of view. She can only see shadows within. Lightning strikes. Victor appears to bring down the heart and shove it into Daniel's chest. Jefferson holds on to Regina. Finally, Victor emerges. Regina smiles until Victor apologizes and says he failed. The heart wasn't strong enough and couldn't withstand the procedure. Regina enters the tent and strokes Daniel's forehead. She buttons up his shirt and lays her head on his chest. We flash forward to...

Storybrooke. Regina opens the stable stall. Daniel seems calm as he approaches her, but then turns violent. He throttles her and holds her up against the wall. In choked whispers, she assures him it's her and that she loves him. Since love is the most powerful magic of all, this manages to reach him, at least briefly. His voice and face are normal as he speaks to her, but soon he is once again contorting and is clearly in pain. He begs Regina to stop the pain. When she asks how, Daniel says, "Let me go." At first Regina refuses. She won't lose him again because without him, she is lost. As Daniel's suffering grows, she begs him to come back to her, but he cannot. When she says, "I love you," Daniel groans. "Then love again." He steps back and writhes in pain. Monster overcomes the man. He holds up a hand. Regina's eyes grow wide. She raises her palm to Daniel's. Magic washes over him. Regina's face crumples. She sobs, even as she raises her other hand and causes him to magically dissolve. When he is but dust on the stable floor, Regina cries, "Goodbye, Daniel." Wouldn't it be great if you could do that to every ex who haunts you? Just sayin'... Commercial.
