The wait is almost over, Oncers!

This Sunday, Once Upon A Time returns to ABC as the ultimate battle between good and evil begins!

In one corner, a united family—Regina, Henry and Emma! The trio is looking to find the Author, who could give the former Evil Queen her lost happy ending. Standing in their way, a bitter Mr. Gold and his three nightmarish assistants–The Queens of Darkness (Maleficent, Ursula and Cruella de Vil!)!

Jake’s Take is previewing the next chapter in this exciting season of Once Upon A Time and shared some thoughts about the incoming villainesses, new characters and plot lines that will make their debuts this season.

The Queens of Darkness: Once creators Adam Horwitz and Edward Kitsis revealed that almost everyone in Storybrooke has connections with each incoming villainess. While we already know that Maleficent was Regina’s only friend and that Charming previously encountered the Mistress of All Evil during the end of the Season One finale, there are a couple of questions that are still left unanswered. Does anybody besides Pongo and Belle encountered Cruella in the Enchanted Forest? How will Belle, Hook and Regina react when they see Ursula alongside the Dark One? Speaking of the Dark One…

Who has the Dagger? When Belle forced her ex-husband to cross the town line, he lost his powers. Now with Rumple coming back to Storybrooke, the heroes are going to work a little bit faster to hide the Dark One’s dagger from its cantankerous owner. However, the Dark One dagger corrupts its owner’s morality and whoever takes on the Dark One persona will lose the ones they love most.

 

Emma Swan and the Queens of Darkness

Emma: Corruptible? During the Oscars, the show aired a promo that showed the Queens of Darkness and Gold’s plan to corrupt Emma this season! After the traumatic experiences in Emma’s past (not being raised by her birth parents, foster homes and giving birth in jail) and encounters with Cora, Pan, Zelena and Ingrid, Emma’s dark side is posed to come out. This might be a good way to shake things up!

Old friends return: With the stakes so high, the heroes will breathe a sigh of relief as Ariel (JoAnna Garcia Swisher) and August (Eion Bailey) return to Storybrooke. While Ariel might lend her expertise on how to defeat a sea witch, August will provide insight on the Author’s identity.

The Witch is Back: Another familiar character that will be returning to the canvas is Zelena, the Wicked Witch of the West! While Mr. Gold killed her at the end of Season Three, the Once creators stated that Regina’s wicked half-sister will make her re-appearance through flashbacks. Will she share scenes with Rumple, Regina or the Queens of Darkness? Viewers will have to tune into find out!
