Once Upon a Time - Breaking Glass

Pushing Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and Regina (Lana Parrilla) together to find the Snow Queen (Elizabeth Mitchell) and the missing Elsa (Georgina Haig), whom the Snow Queen has taken prisoner, “Breaking Glass” plays on a long-running theme in exploring Emma’s unhappy past and distrustful nature (which is something she comes to realize she and Regina have in common). Through flashbacks into Emma’s past (involving a girl with an intriguing birthmark…hmmm?) we see another example of where her initial distrust of strangers comes from while also providing a clue to Emma’s relationship with the Snow Queen which goes much further back than anyone suspected.

Once Upon a Time - Rocky Road

The latest season of Once Upon a Time continues to deliver in unexpected ways as Marian (Christie Laing) being cursed by a freezing spell sends the entire town, already concerned about the ice wall surrounding Storybrooke, after Elsa (Georgina Haig) who they hold responsible. The truth is far more complicated which Emma (Jennifer Morrison) begins to suss out as Robin (Sean Maguire) asks Regina (Lana Parrilla) to do what she can to save his wife (but who is no longer the woman who holds his heart).

Once Upon a Time - White Out

Emma (Jennifer Morrison) meets Elsa (Georgina Haig) when the Ice Queen’s search for her missing sister causes her to create an ice wall cutting off power to Storybooke and trapping a slowly-freezing Emma inside the ice with her. Eventually Elsa is able to get control of her powers and save Emma’s life, but the danger is far from over as the final scene reveals Elsa isn’t the only ice-powered magic user operating in Storybrooke (Elizabeth Mitchell).

Once Upon a Time - A Tale of Two Sisters

While Regina (Lana Parrilla) is tempted down a dark path dealing with Emma‘s (Jennifer Morrison) choice to bring Robin‘s (Sean Maguire) long-lost wife back in time with her from the past, the rest of Storybrooke has to deal with the other unforeseen consequence of Emma and Hook’s time-travel when Storybrooke gets a new visitor. Although Regina’s tale takes up a good portion of the season premiere, most of “A Tale of Two Sisters” deals with Elsa‘s (Georgina Haig) arrival in Storybrooke and the flashbacks with the Ice Queen and her sister Anna (Elizabeth Lail) explaining why Elsa walked through the door which Emma opened.

Once Upon a Time – The Complete Third Season

Once Upon a Time - The Complete Third SeasonSeason Three took characters to Neverland, the Enchanted Forest, Oz, and back home to Storybrooke. It featured a second curse, a missing year, the deaths and resurrections of multiple characters, and the introduction of both a sister (Rebecca Mader) and love interest (Sean Maguire) for Regina (Lana Parrilla).

The second-half of the season centered around a character from Oz works better than the Neverland arc which grows a bit stale as Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) and her family attempt to save Henry (Jared Gilmore) from Peter Pan (Robbie Kay). Highlights from the season include the time-traveling season finale, Regina taking another step on her hero’s journey, Hook‘s (Colin O’Donoghue) time away from Storybrooke, the escape from Neverland, a battle between sisters, the death and the return of Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle), and Regina and Zelena’s first meeting.
