Once Upon a Time - Labor of Love

While stumbling around a very Storybooke-esque version of the Underworld in their search for Hook (Colin O’Donoghue), who is now a captive of Hades (Greg Germann) and being guarded by the three-headed Cerberus, Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) will seek out the help of an old friend who has unfinished business with the creature. Offering us flashbacks to the young Snow’s (Bailee Madison) first encounter with Hercules (Jonathan Whitesell) we see the crucial role the demigod performed in putting the young princess on a path to becoming a hero – a service Snow reciprocates here by helping the fallen warrior complete his final labor and move on to Olympus.

Once Upon a Time - Swan Song

“Swan Song” brings every previous Dark One to Storybooke in hopes of trading their place in the Underworld with that of the town’s inhabitants. The only way Emma (Jennifer Morrison) knows to stop them is to sacrifice herself, but Miss Swan won’t be the one who makes the ultimate sacrifice in an attempt to vaquish evil from the world. That honor, and the episode’s flashbacks, go to Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) who despite his recent dark turn will reconnect with the hero within to save Emma and her loved ones.

Once Upon a Time - The Bear King

As the show moves closer to its fall finale, Once Upon a Time takes a break from the Dark Swan storyline to travel to DunBroch and catch up with the adventures of young Queen Merida (Amy Manson) who faces new challenges when the Witch (Lily Knight) threatens to curse the entire kingdom if the enchanted helm she gave to the late King Fergus (Glenn Keogh) isn’t returned. Adding to the trouble is the fact that Zelena (Rebecca Mader) and Arthur (Liam Garrigan) have arrived in town looking for the same artifact looking for the power to stand up to Merlin and Emma Swan.

Once Upon a Time - Birth

The early birth of Zelena‘s (Rebecca Mader) child not only begins a series of revelations about the final steps Emma (Jennifer Morrison) took to fully embrace the darkness and become the Dark One but also the reasoning behind those choices and the secret she’s been keeping from the man she loves. Not interested in the baby itself, Emma’s concerns involve the witch who she sees as a possible escape from the darkness inside her. And, thanks to the final revelation, we know now why it was so important for Emma to hide the events of Camelot from all of her loved ones, particularly Hook (Colin O’Donoghue).
