"Knightfall" is the thirteenth episode of the seventh season and the 146th episode overall of the American fantasy-drama series Once Upon a Time. Written by Jerome Schwartz and Miguel Ian Raya and directed by Steve Miner, it premiered on ABC in the United States on March 16, 2018.
In the episode, Hook seeks out a device that will help free Alice from the Tower in the past, while in the present day Tilly becomes concerned about Rogers when Eloise agrees to be interrogated, Lucy turns to help so she can save Henry and Ivy decides to bury the hatchet with Jacinda as she looks to find Anastasia.
The head belonging to Ivy's doll is featured inside the "O" mirrored fonts.
In the new realm, Alice is experiencing a nightmare that Gothel will come for her, but as she wakes up, Hook is there to comfort her, promising to end the nightmares once and for all. The two then take a pair of Chess pieces, a white knight for Alice and a black rook for Hook. Later on, he sought out the jailed Rumpelstiltskin for help and the two agreed to a deal. Rumple informs Hook of a device that will help save his daughter, but it's already in the possession of another seafarer.
Hook arrived to confront Ahab, the current possessor of Maui's fish hook. However, Ahab is taunting Hook over having been washed up as a pirate (in this realm). Rather than fighting, Hook and Ahab decided on a dice game with the winner getting the Jolly Roger and keeping the fish hook. Surprisingly enough, Hook won. But Ahab isn't convinced that Hook has returned to his swashbuckling ways, and as he follows Hook back to Rumple's cell the tensions between the two reach the point of taunting Hook for abandoning Alice. This leads to a gun duel between Hook and Ahab, and Hook emerges as the winner.
Unfortunately, the nightmare of Alice being taken away by Gothel comes true, as Hook returns to use the fish hook to free Alice, only to have Gothel taunt Hook before banishing him from the Tower and acquiring the fish hook, leaving Alice screaming and crying out for her father, who is now left a weakened man.
Tilly is already starting to have strange reactions to Gothel's presence that has made her nervous, but Rogers is not having any of this as he and Weaver focus on Eloise, who suddenly shows up. She agreed to being interrogated, but only by Rogers, and Weaver allowed it. The interrogation between Rogers and Gothel is turned into a mind game as Eloise uses Rogers' psyche to gauge his past but to no avail. Outside the room, Tilly becomes concerned for Rogers as she watches, especially after he leaves the room for a second, when she flashes a sign at Tilly as if she knows who she is, but Weaver tells Tilly he'll let Rogers handle things.
