“Merida’s facing a problem in the present day that involves Zelena and King Arthur,” Kitsis says. “Mulan and Ruby are going to be enlisted to help her solve that problem. [So] it’s your normal show where Merida, Mulan and Little Red Riding Hood team up to fight the Wicked Witch and King Arthur. It’s just another day in Camelot!”
My guess is that Zelena and/or Arthur were involved with King Fergus’ death.
I’d agree that’s what we’re probably looking at and given Merida’s information dump in 506 about a knight killing her father, I’d say it was Arthur over Zelena. Just…when? And…why? Like why go to war with Fictional! Scotland Highlands across the pond when Arthur was all consumed with his shiny sword?
Part of me fears that the writers will forget that Ruby returned to Storybrooke during the 2nd curse, and will instead write her story as if she remained back in FTL this entire time. Hopefully not, of course.
Yeaaaaaaah. That’s a fear.
