Once Upon A Time - What will happen next?


After a long summer of waiting, the new season of "Once Upon A Time" finally arrives on September 30. "Once", in my opinion, was the best new show of the 2011-2012 season and has a great cast of characters that you won't see anywhere else on tv.

If you forgot what happened during the season finale, here's a little recap: Regina tried to kill Emma with a poison apple baked into a turnover. Henry tried to warn Emma that Regina wanted to kill her. To prove it, Henry ate the poisoned treat and became deathly ill. Jefferson, aka the Mad Hatter, freed Belle from the psych ward under the hospital and told her to find Mr. Gold and tell him that Regina locked her up. She did and Mr. Gold was shocked to find his long-lost love alive all this time, though she has no idea who he is because of the curse. Meanwhile, everyone is gathered in Storybrooke hospital as Henry stops breathing. Emma kisses her son and tells him she loves him. Then, all kinds of crazy stuff happens. Henry wakes up, everyone gets their memories back, Snow and Charming are reunited after breaking up for the millionth time, and Regina makes a run for it. Mr. Gold is far away from the action in town as he and Belle go to the magical well deep in the forest. He drops the true love potion, the one Emma rescued from the dragon's belly, into the well, creating a purple smoke that envelops the town. Magic is coming, Mr. Gold tells Belle. Belle, who now has her memories back and professes her love for the pawn broker, is ticked. Oh, and August turned to wood. He is Pinocchio after all.

All caught up? Good.

So, what's going to happen next? Is the curse really broken? Everyone remembers who they are, but they haven't been transported back to Fairytale Land yet. Here are my predictions for season two, based on casting, previews, and my own imagination:
  • Emma will get custody of Henry. Regina did almost kill him, plus the whole town is against her now. But, Emma has never raised a kid, so her relationship with Henry will change drastically. She will have to be a parent, not just a friend.

  • Mr. Gold and Belle will not get their happily-ever-after. He chose magic over her. Twice. A girl can only take so much. They will argue throughout the season, and she will probably move back in with her dad, while Mr. Gold tries to win her back. He will promise her to give up magic but will still do it behind her back. He thinks he needs it to find Baelfire, the only person he loves more than Belle..

  • August will stay wooden, for now. The story has too many other people to focus on right now. He will be back toward the end of the season.

  • Baelfire will return with the help of Rumple's magic, but it will not be a happy reunion between father and son. Bae has had a long time to be bitter that his father abandoned him. He will also be revealed as Henry's father. Henry will like him despite his faults and try to fix him up with Emma, who hates him for abandoning her.

  • Snow and Charming will finally be together, for awhile, but she will still be angry with him for choosing Katherine over her. Emma and Snow's relationship will become strained now that they know they are related. Emma will question her parents as to why she was given up, and she will not forgive easily.

  • We will learn what happened to Regina's wicked mother. I predict that Regina stole her mother's power and banished her to Wonderland where she became the Queen of Hearts.

  • Dr. Whale will be revealed as King Triton, Ariel's (the little mermaid) father. His name has to have something to do with water, right?

  • David aka Charming will side with Regina, becoming her only ally for now. She has always been nice to him, and he sees her as a person wrongly accused. Of course, this causes problems between him and Snow.

  • Jefferson will be revealed to be Regina's brother or some other sort of relative. They seem to have a history together, and he is one of the few people who doesn't seem scared of her. Also, we will find out that Jefferson's long lost wife is none other than Alice of Wonderland.

So what do you think? Do you think any of my predictions will come true?
