Tonight on the season 2 premiere of “Once Upon A Time,” the two worlds collide.
In season one Queen Regina had cast a curse that brought the fairytale characters into our modern world and trapped them in Storybrooke with no memory of their former selves. Here they languished, ageless for 28 years, until Emma Swan stumbled upon them through her son, Henry, whom she had given up for adoption years ago. Over time Emma came to understand that she herself was the daughter of fairy tale characters – Snow White and Prince Charming – and having begun to see cracks in Regina’s curse and her hold on Storybrooke, set about breaking both.
In the season premiere episode, entitled “Broken,” the two worlds begin to collide as the fairytale characters are free of the curse and remember who they were, however they remain in Storybrooke and not transported back to their other world.
Making things even worse, Rumplestiltskin – aka Mr. Gold brings magic to the town in order to gain power over Regina. Also, back in the fairytale land, Prince Phillip awakens his sleeping beauty, Aurora, but discovers that he and his traveling companion, Mulan, find themselves facing a deadly foe.
