Last week was the season 5 premiere of Once Upon A Time, and our Storybrooke residents have a new mystery to solve. They easily (kinda) trick Zelena (Rebecca Mader) into opening a portal to find Emma (Jennifer Morrison), The Dark One. Turns out, she’s in Camelot, seeking Merlin. She gets into a thing with Brave’s Merida (Amy Manson), but her people find her. But then, “Poof!” They are back in Storybrooke, it is 6 weeks later, and nobody remembers a thing. Nobody except, Emma Swan – full on Dark One.

Don’t proceed any further if you have not watched the episode. Spoilers!

Once Upon A Time is back! And it’s step right up to the next magical problem. Moments after that nasty crazy author problem was taken care of, the Dark One’s magic went to claim Regina (Lana Parilla), but Emma (Jennifer Morrison) sacrificed herself in her place, and what looked like Venom swept her away. Everyone is desperate and dumbfounded. Where did she go?

If you didn’t watch tonight’s episode yet, go watch, then come back for there’s spoilers ahead.

Once Upon A Time airs tomorrow, and we can expect a bunch of bold new adventures for our Storybrooke residents. Their ultimate mission is to save Emma (Jennifer Morrison) from the darkness, as she now has her name etched on the Dark One’s knife, having saved Regina (Lana Parilla) from that fate. Tomorrow’s episode is called “The Dark Swan,” and I can’t wait to see how my dashing Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) tries to save him Emma. For now, here are more sneak peeks from tomorrow’s episode.

Check out the clips below.

When we last saw our fairy-tale crew in Once Upon A Time, having saved Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle) from darkness (please don’t be dead!), the darkness swarmed (looking like Venom’s twin) over Regina, needing a human tether. Emma (Jennifer Morrison) took her place with instructions for her love Hook (Colin O’Donoghue), her parents Snow White and Prince Charming (Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas), and even Regina and Robin Hood (Lana Parilla and Sean Maguire), to find a way to rescue her from darkness. She was consumed and then disappeared. Poor Henry (Jared Gilmore). Will he ever be happy and not worried about both his moms at the same time?

Watch the two promo videos and the moment in last season’s finale when Emma sacrificed herself for Regina below.

ABC has released a first look at season 5 of Once Upon A Time, the season of the Dark Swan, formerly Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison). When we last left our reluctant savior, she sacrificed herself to the darkness which sucked her up, to save Regina (Lana Parilla) from it. The Dark One’s knife clattered to the asphalt, and the words “Emma Swan” magically appeared on it. This teaser shows the opening scene of Episode 5.1 aptly named “The Dark Swan.”
