In the new realm during a flashback, Alice makes a birthday wish to get out of the tower and shortly after, a troll suddenly appears and helps her escape the prison, hopefully to search for her father. Years later, Alice, who is still seeking out her father, is caught spying on the resistance group by Robin, who had just recently arrived to the New Enchanted Forest. Robin intends to honor her father's legacy by hunting down the troll, who has since been destroying villages, but Alice goes after her to protect it.
When they finally confront the troll, Robin is ready to kill but Alice steps in to save him, infuriating the villagers. However, in a surprise twist, Robin ends up shielding Alice from the villagers, and uses magic to summon Emma's Yellow Bug, which transports them to the Tower, where Alice admits that she wanted to go back but now wants to experience freedom. Suddenly, the troll appears and begins destroying the Tower. Robin theorizes that Alice unintentionally created the troll to free herself. Alice then confronted the troll and forgave him before he is turned into stone. Afterwards, Robin and Alice looked on as they began a journey together.
Days after the death of the baker at the hospital, Rogers tracks Tilly down, just in time to keep the officers from finding her, and are later joined by Henry as they start looking for signs of evidence of Tilly being elsewhere during the time of the murder to clear her name. At first, while taking refuge at Henry’s apartment and hopefully find a clue, she retraces her steps after she sees a sticker on her shoe sole. Tilly grows frustrated when she finds that no one can remember seeing her at the places she had visited.
As Tilly is becoming more convinced that she might be a murderer after she discovers the hair locks in her backpack, she looks at a troll statue and as she talks to it, she almost gets hit by an SUV when she is rescued by a woman named Margot (Robin in this cursed realm), and she thanks her. Tilly also notices that Margot is reading “Alice in Wonderland,” which Margot tells her is a favorite of hers. When Rogers tells Tilly that she’ll have to turn herself in, Tilly discovers a surveillance camera hidden inside that can trace her whereabouts that can provide an alibi for her. When Tilly returns to her place, Rogers stopped by to ask her about staying at his place, and she accepts.
