What makes you resist it? Unfortunately, Merida heard their entire convo, and she wasn’t going to go down without a fight. We love the idea of watching Hook fight for her, as well as Regina and her family.

Will Henry be enough to keep Emma from being fully consumed by Dark Swan?
Missed tonight’s epic battle between good versus dark?
They quickly speak to the Apprentice, who gives them a magic wand that was made by Merlin.
Emma’s not willing to let her one lead get away, and she uses her darkness to knock Merida down. “Going forward after the premiere, on the Storybrooke side, our characters are really wrestling with the mystery of what they could have possibly done to Emma to make her this way”, Horowitz says. She explains that she needs it for her family, and Emma encourages her to take the whisp and go before she caves into the darkness.
Regina uses Emma’s baby blanket in order to cast the summoning spell and it transports everyone who is in Granny’s as well as the building itself to Emma’s location.
Speaking of shipping, how about the Captain Swan ship?
“The Dark Swan” opens in Minneapolis in 1989 with a young Emma at the theater about to watch The Sword in the Stone. The relationships that form and that have obstacles – or [don’t] have obstacles – are part of their journeys. Why are we going the memory loss route?
Here is to hoping that the series does not cop out with a time erase at the end of the first half of the season. “It’s going to take the 11 episodes to get there”. Merida then tries to kill Emma. At this stage, right now, everyone is trying to jump on board to help Emma. Better luck next time, my pretty. “So it’s going to be everyone looking at the mayor”, Kitsis notes.
Another thing that constantly grating is that Hook can never pull off a scheme, he is starting to make his Disney counterpart look smart. “It becomes hopefully very complicated and messy in a good way, which is these familial and adversarial connections are forced to interact in a new way”. How did Emma come to embrace the darkness?
Meanwhile, Lancelot (returning guest star Sinqua Walls) and his fellow knights actually try to get the sword out in Camelot and once Arthur successfully removes it, he discovers that the tip of it is gone. The problem? We don’t know what. That’s what we’re going to explore, which is what makes you succumb to the darkness? Since everyone wanted to find Merlin, Emma and the gang followed them to Camelot. However, she reappears and reassures everyone that she’s with them – as the Dark Swan. Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle) is with her – kind of. It started to do that with Emma, and it did the same thing to Rumple. “She’s behaving in a way and you’re going to see a lot of the people around her who love her feel powerless in how to help her, and so it’s that intensity that we really want to dive into”. The sword is made of lightness and darkness, and whatever happened in Camelot to turn Emma around probably has to do with the sword. He also mentioned that she’ll have the opportunity to remove Excalibur from its stone, but he told her not to touch it.
There is a real contrast between how Emma is handling her early Dark One-ness and what we know of Rumple’s own struggle with becoming the Dark One. But I loved how he was always enticing her and tricking her into using her magic and generally just being our dear old Rumplestiltskin from the Enchanted Forest that we all know and love. “She’s scary”, Kitsis says.
“We pick up with them banding together and trying to figure out how they’re going to find her, and what to do about it, and who’s going to hold the dagger, because, obviously, that’s a powerful position as well, and then we find Emma reborn as the Dark One somewhere”, the actress added.
With Henry growing up, Horowtiz said, “he can take a more active part in the adventures now and I think you’re going to see that he takes a more pivotal role in some of the things that are coming up”. “We’re going to go to Dunbroch and see the dad and the mom and everything”. She told them all they were going to be punished for what they did to her. Oh, you didn’t go? Leave me your thoughts in a comment below. “We just loved the idea of Grumpy being upset about it and feeling jealous”. On the way, she meets Merida (Amy Manson) from the Pixar film, Brave, who was also trying to find the wisp in order to get it to help her save her brothers from rival clansmen who kidnapped them because they were opposed to her rule after her father’s death.
They take Emma back to Granny’s to show her that there is no shortage of people who want to help. “The same with Red”, says Horowitz. And there are other characters who may return as well and we want to do that as well. “We’ll see her evolving into this role and we’ll see where she ends up”. Horses? Why, it’s King Arthur, telling the diner gang that they were expected.
“It’s a complicated answer”, Kitsis told reporters after the screening.

“We want the show to reflect that world as it is now and whether that’s going to be with any particular character, we’re not going to say”, Horowitz agrees.
