'Once Upon a Time' Sneak Peek - Episode 5.01: The Dark Swan

Table of Contents

When Once Upon a Time returns this Sunday, the race to save Emma from her own darkness will begin.

What do you do when your Savior has become the Dark One? Well, if you’re Regina Mills (lana Parilla) you do the best job at saving the savior you can, if you’re Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) you take the new Dark One under your wing, if you’re in love with her (Colin O’Donoghue) you do all you can to save her and if you’re her parents (Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Dallas) you freak out and argue about the best way to handle the situation. That’s what we’ve learned we can expect from our characters when we return to meet a VERY different Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison).
