The Heroes get to know the characters from the Land of Untold Stories. Meanwhile, the Evil Queen reveals her plans for Regina and Storybrooke. Get a sneak peek of tonight’s Once Upon a Time!

Oncers, I’ll tell you the truth, 10 minutes into last week’s Once Upon a Time, and I was wishing so hard that it was a two hour premiere.
It’s so great to be back in Storybrooke… I mean, when you kick off an episode with a CaptainSwan make-out session, things are pretty great.
Of course Hyde quickly makes his insidious plans know. He brings a dirigible full of folks from the Land of Untold Stories. This means there are a whole bunch of strangers, potential friends and foes, lurking in town.
But what’s most concerning is that something is wrong with Emma (shaking hands, visions/premonitions) and apparently Hyde knows what’s up. It has something to do with Saviors never getting an HEA, evidenced by flashbacks to Agrabah featuring a downtrodden Aladdin. There’s a villain who’s going to have a samurai sword fight with Emma in the streets of Storybrooke and eventually take her down *CRIES*
As if that isn’t enough, we learn that Morpheus, god of dreams, is Rumple and Belle’s child! And Morpheus makes his mother promise not to go back to Rumple… so Belle is awake, but Rumbelle is done.
Also, the Evil Queen has made herself known by moving in with Zelena and plotting against Regina. YIKES.
This is going to be a fantastic season!
In tonight’s episode “A Bitter Draught” (written by Andrew Chambliss and Dana Horgan, directed by Ron Underwood):
When a mysterious man from the Land of Untold Stories, who has a past with the Evil Queen, arrives in Storybrooke, David and Snow work together with Regina to neutralize the threat. Belle seeks Hook’s help finding a safe place to hide away from her husband, Mr. Gold. The Evil Queen continues to try to win Zelena over to her side, while Emma resumes her therapy sessions with Archie and shares her terrifying vision of the future. (via ABC)
Check out two clips from the upcoming show! In the first, Charming and Snow get a mysterious invitation from the Count of Monte Cristo (EEEEP!) and we find out that the Count and Regina have a past.
In the second video, the Evil Queen breaks into Regina’s vault to find a certain ingredient.

Regina (as the Evil Queen) hired the Count of Monte Cristo to kill Snow and Charming?! I need that flashback!
Also, it’s interesting that Zelena might actually want Evil Queen and Regina to merge again so she can have a closer relationship with her sister. Wow.
