[Slurpeez]

Will there be nuptials for any of our couples soon?
KITSIS: There will be a wedding in the finale. Whether it goes through or not, you’ll have to watch.

Calling it now: In the AU, Regina will be on her way to marry King Leopold when a bandit named Robin Hood steals some crown jewels from her.

If the Author (Patrick Fischler) is able to rewrite stories, might we see an alternate timeline?
KITSIS: Can’t say.

That’s a yes. We already know the OQ AU is coming.

Does Belle really love Will (Michael Socha)?
KITSIS: I would say that’s a rebound. Even fairy tale characters have rebounds, people.

So Bookthief is a rebound. (As if we couldn’t tell). But really? What does that mean for Will’s character?

Will we finally learn why Will is in Storybrooke?
HOROWITZ: Not immediately.

What? We’d better learn eventually! I’m guessing it’s something to do with Jafar and the Sorcerer (who may be the same person)?

Will Belle confront Regina for taking her heart?
KITSIS: Next season.

Yeah right! It’ll just be swept under the rug, like so many other big issues.

Will we ever find out how August (Eion Bailey) knew about Neal (Michael Raymond-James)?
HOROWITZ: I sure hope so. I feel like we’ve hinted at it in an indirect way, but we’ll probably get more explicit about it down the line.

“A little fairy told me” = Blue Fairy!

Will anyone die (either temporarily or permanently) in the season 4 finale?
KITSIS: Both. Yeah. Decipher that one!

Rumple = permanent death
Emma = temporary death, but will be resurrected as dark one in S5

Does Lily possess magic?
EDWARD KITSIS: Can’t say.

That a big yes. She’s Maleficent’s daughter. She’s a dragon!

Will the topic of Lily’s father be brought up?
HOROWITZ: Yes.

Cough, sorcerer, cough! I think Lily’s dad will be Jafar, and he’s the sorcerer.

Will Emma and the Charmings (Josh Dallas and Ginnifer Goodwin) work out their issues?
KITSIS: Keep watching.

Emma will die before they get the chance.

Will Killian (Colin O’Donoghue) play a role in bringing Emma back from the darkness?
HOROWITZ: Who says she’s being brought back from the darkness?
KITSIS: But he will play a role in her life.

Emma is going to give into the darkness.

Will Page 23 be featured?
HOROWITZ: Yes.

OutlawQueen AU time

Will we find out the identity of the Sorcerer?
KITSIS: Yes.

He’s Lily’s dad. And Jafar.

Is there a chance of seeing a new Dark One?
HOROWITZ: Can’t say.
KITSIS: There’s always a chance.

That’s a yes. The new dark one will be Emma.
