In a world resembling 1920s England, a young Cruella De Vil, whose oppressive mother uses her Dalmatians to terrorize her daughter, is introduced. She is confined to her mother's attic until a mysterious stranger arrives and empowers her to challenge her captor. In Storybrooke, Regina gains leverage over Gold to keep him from interfering with her plan to rescue Robin, but her trip to New York takes the backseat when she and Emma learn that Cruella has kidnapped Henry.
