Storybrooke is about to be turned upside down.
At the close of the last Once Upon a Time, the Snow Queen (Elizabeth Mitchell) released the dreaded Spell of Shattered Sight, which will cause the town’s residents to turn on one another as they can only see the most ugly aspects of themselves and others around them. Sound familiar? That’s because the spell is adapted directly from “The Snow Queen,” the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale that Frozen is based on.
“It’s a big spell,” Mitchell tells EW from the Vancouver set of the ABC fairy tale drama, where just outside her character’s ice cream parlor, the Seven Dwarves are at each other’s throats as the spell takes hold. “What’s powerful about it is that it’s such deep magic. It doesn’t just affect one person, it affects everybody that it touches.”
Before the spell hits town, however, Emma (Jennifer Morrison) will set her sights on doing everything in her power to prevent the coming trouble—thanks to the yellow ribbons, Emma and Elsa (Georgina Haig) are actually immune. “We have to put a plan in place that’s going to keep everyone separated from the loved ones that they could potentially hurt during the curse and give [those immune] a chance to stop it,” Morrison says. “It’s going to be on us to find a solution for everyone else.”However, their plan to protect everyone will lead to some heartbreaking farewells as the threat of the spell looms. “Once again, it feels like everything Emma’s fought to have and all the things that she’s made sacrifices in her life to have is coming to an end,” Morrison says. “Her parents aren’t going to be their true selves with her because of the curse, they’re not going to be their true selves with their new baby Neal because of the curse. Once again, the weight of the world is on her shoulders in terms of trying to find a solution. It does feel like a really scary goodbye, a very emotional goodbye and a very hectic goodbye because the curse is so close.”
The even scarier goodbye is with Hook (Colin O’Donoghue), whose heart was recently ripped out by Rumplestilskin (Robert Carlyle). “Everybody thinks the goodbye is because of the spell and he’d have to chain himself to the docks so he doesn’t hurt her, but in actual fact in Hook’s mind, he’s going to be dead, Rumple’s going to kill him,” O’Donoghue says. “That’s his final goodbye. It’s heartbreaking for him because there’s so much that he wishes he could’ve experienced with Emma and told her. I’m sure he’s full of regret for all the wrong things that he’s done, but in that moment, it is simply just him saying goodbye to the woman he loves. She doesn’t quite fully know exactly how powerful that is for him because she thinks she’ll cure the spell and she’ll find him and it’ll all be fine, but in his mind, it won’t be.”
But the spell won’t be all doom and gloom. Once it hits, it will actually provide for a bit of levity, especially when it comes to seeing how Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas) really feel about each other. “He’s nasty,” Dallas says. “He goes straight for the jugular. He doesn’t mince his words. Him and Snow White are pretty ruthless to each other. It’s just anything they can take and twist and they definitely do that.”
“It’s all a little reminiscent of the Snow-Regina cat fight on the ship in Neverland,” Goodwin adds. ” They’re going to hit below the belt. I do think their scenes together are straight up humorous and we need that every once in a while.” Ultimately, Goodwin admits, “Mary Margaret’s idea about how to protect herself and everyone else from this curse is, while logical, probably going to end up being ineffective.”While the Charmings go toe-to-toe, Regina (Lana Parrilla) will be facing a very different threat: the Evil Queen. “She knows what [the curse] is going to do to her and what it’s going to bring out,” Parrilla says. “That’s the last thing she wants Henry [Jared Gilmore] to see and the last thing she wants Robin [Sean Maguire] to see is what she’s capable of. When the spell hits, she’s her worst self. When I think about the Evil Queen at her worst is when she killed her father. That’s the height of her evil. When you think about becoming your worst self, that’s terrifying.”
What’s more terrifying is that the town may not realize how powerful this spell really is. “It not only causes pain, but it causes death to everybody except for the people that she’s chosen,” Mitchell reveals.[adrotate group="5"]Once it hits, it will actually provide for a bit of levity, especially when it comes to seeing how Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas) really feel about each other. “He’s nasty,” Dallas says. “He goes straight for the jugular.

This confuses me. Snow and Charming have always seen the best in each other–even when they couldn’t see it themselves. When Snow learned she had a dark spot, it was Charming who told her that she had the most beautiful perfect heart ever.
“How they really feel about each other” should be true love…
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"This confuses me. Snow and Charming have always seen the best in each other–even when they couldn’t see it themselves. When Snow learned she had a dark spot, it was Charming who told her that she had the most beautiful perfect heart ever.

“How they really feel about each other” is just Natalie’s wording, so I wouldn’t take it as the gospel for the show itself. As for Snow and Charming getting nasty at each other, I suspect it’ll be the occasional couple disagreements they’ve had amplified to the extreme. Just because you truly love each other doesn’t make it impossible to have the occasional critical thought about one another. Being subject to the Spell of Shattered Sight is surely not going to let them embrace the best of each other during this predicament.

Well no of course it’s not impossible to have a critical thought about one another. But Josh is suggesting that it gets nasty and he goes straight for the jugular. And when SQ performed the curse on Anna, Anna used her own personal trauma and memories of what Elsa did to her as kids (ignoring her). So I’m just wondering what is possibly so nasty that Charming and Snow are going to be that antagonistic to each other.

Possibly about parenting, and protecting your children. Charming might say Wow, I’m surprised you’re letting Emma hold the baby. You rarely let me hold him, and my son. Really, Charming? Well look what happened when you held your baby daughter. We didn’t see her again for 28 years. Really Snow? We would have had our family safe if you hadn’t persisted in your quarrels with Regina. You gave our daughters name to the Dark One!
You couldn’t even protect your own kingdom…fake Prince etc. Cora killer. Um, you took out my heart for a curse? That’s pretty bad. There’s lots of insults they can throw at each other.
It’s going to be sad, but funny at the same time.

Snow could pull the Kathryn situation back up, and really tell David how much that hurt her, and in turn David could bring up the fact she slept with Dr. Whale.

Yeah, we’ve seen plenty of fights between the Charmings before that could come up.
“You lied to me in Neverland!”
“We were cursed!” (…I need to hear this during this arc…)
“You CRUSHED MY HEART!”
“You TOLD ME TO!”They love each other but they’ve done PLENTY that they can drudge up as negative & painful if they like. And it will be awesome.

I can see that. Mary Margaret’s always been the one to hold baby Neal and even when Charming asks, Snow’s like, ‘It’s okay. I got this.’ Let the man hold his own son. Probably the last time he had a chance to hold him was in the finale last year.
And thing he could nitpick about is that Snow includes him in her shame when it comes to parenting Emma. “We failed her David” from 4×07. I think David got over that guilt last season. It’s Snow who still hasn’t.
