History
The Underbrooke Woods forms in the Underworld after Hades remodels this world to resemble the town of Storybrooke. ("Our Decay")
After fleeing the underground tunnels with the aid of Hook, Megara ends up roaming the Underbrooke Woods where she accidentally leaves a blood trail, allowing Emma and Regina to find her. She informs the pair of Hook's whereabouts and with the help of Robin and Henry, the group search the woods for their friend with no avail. ("Labor of Love")
Taking Henry along for a ride in her car, Cruella tells him to keep a look out for the quill. He spots something glistening in the woods and makes her stop the car. After leaving her behind, Henry runs into the Apprentice where he explains the location of the quill before leaving him to his own devices. ("The Brothers Jones")
In a bid to protect Robin's daughter from the wickedness of her mother, Belle sets off into the woods to retreat while a worried Zelena, Regina and Robin go after her. As they reunite, Zelena douses the group before taking her daughter and leaving the three of them to fend for themselves. ("Our Decay")
While embarking on a mission to find the cause of her recurring nightmare, Emma, Hook, Regina and Mary Margaret find themselves face to face with the same beast from her dream. Following the beast into the woods, Emma, along with Regina use their combined magic to stop the beast. When they reach the creature, the group is stunned as they realize the beast plaguing Emma's dreams is in fact Ruby, who has shown up in the Underworld. ("Her Handsome Hero")
