OUAT: Farvel

Last time on “OUAT:” Storybrooke fell under the Shattered Sight curse. Gold got Hook to do his bidding but the pirate failed to bring Henry to him. The Evil Queen and Mary Margaret had an epic fight in the Sheriff’s office. Emma and Elsa try to get Ingrid to stop the curse while her past with Emma unfolds. Anna finds the key on the beach and Ingrid sacrifices herself in order to save Storybrooke. Everything is back to normal.

For now.

OUAT: Snowballed

Last time on “Once:” Elizabeth Mitchell used her magic to set up Elsa by freezing Maid Marian. When Robin’s attempt at True Love’s kiss failed, he confesses it’s because he loves Regina. They still can’t be together and Regina removes Marian’s heart to save her until they can undo the spell. As a mob forms to chase down Elsa, she and Hook ask Mr. Gold for help in finding the real culprit. Meanwhile, Emma and David encounter Will Scarlet in Robin Hood’s camp and he leads them to the same answer: Elizabeth. She explains she was trying to show Elsa that people will only ever see her as a monster and Elizabeth also seems to know Emma. In Arendelle, Hans is preparing to attack. He plans to put Elsa in the urn in order to defeat her. So she and Kristoff go to retrieve first. But Elizabeth Mitchell is in the urn! She reveals she is Elsa’s aunt and that Elsa’s mother imprisoned her in the urn. Is she telling the truth? Who knows? It’s only episode 4 so it’ll be awhile until we discover that.

We open in a strange place a long time ago. An old man sweeps the floor, dressed in plain robes. Is he a Jedi? Anyway, a hooded figure enters the place. It’s the Dark One and the older man is the Sorcerer's Apprentice. He fights the Dark One, saying he’ll never get whatever it is the Dark One wants. But the Dark One overpowers him and approaches the strange box we saw Gold fiddling with in the premiere.

(He doesn't look like Mickey Mouse)

But wait! This Dark One is Rumplestilskin. No, it’s Zoso, the Dark One Rumple defeated in order to become the new Dark One. And he is thrown back from the box by the Sorcerer’s enchantment. The apprentice laughs at how the Dark One thought the Sorcerer wouldn’t make sure to protect it well from all the Dark Ones who keep trying to get whatever’s in the box. They will never succeed. 

(Blast from the past!)

Except clearly Rumplestilskin has. Mr. Gold still has the box in his possession and has unlocked what’s inside. Hmm…

CREDITS! It’s a walking broom!
