Reply To: OUAT officially renewed for S7–full 22 episodes

And the reason JMO is in the premiere is because somehow Hook gets sucked into a portal to the WR and leaves behind a pregnant Emma.

S7 is a race to get back to Emma while trying to save the WR with the help of Regina, OQ daughter whom is the savior of the realm and maybe even Rumple.

It’s a very interesting theory.
