[Alarm: this post contains spoilers for the Once Upon a Time season 4 finale, "Functioning Mongoose."]

For the 2nd flavour in a row, the Once Upon a Fourth dimension finale took place in a world that was different than the norm.

While last season's determination took Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and Hook (Colin O'Donoghue ) back in time to the Fairytale state that was (and they altered things as they went on their style), this season'due south two-hour "concept movie" showcased the fallout of the Writer (Patrick Fischler ) rewriting the story and turning the villains into heroes.

Henry (Jared Gilmore) is initially stuck in the real world, simply he finds the Writer ? aka Isaac Heller ? on a book tour, and Henry is able to take the two of them to the altered world.

The testify had some fun transforming the characters into unlike people from the ones we've known for the by four seasons: Rumple (Robert Carlyle) ? who became enlightened of what his new reality is thanks to the fixing of the Author ? became "the Light One," an ogre-slayer, and happily married (with a child!) to Belle (Emilie de Ravin ); Snowfall White ( Ginnifer Goodwin) turned into the Evil Queen, crestfallen over losing her true love James (Josh Dallas), so she is set on revenge towards Regina (Lana Parrilla ), whom she blames for his death; Hook was made into a meek pirate on Black Beard's (Charles Mesure ) transport; Robin (Sean Maguire) was set to ally Zelena (Rebecca Mader ); and Emma was locked up by Snow ? and being watched over by Lily (Agnes Bruckner ).

But Henry was determined to make things right, and the Author informed him that he had a set corporeality of time to prepare things. If Henry wasn't able to course-correct by the time the bells started ringing, the events of the alternate universe would exist fix.

The Author tied Henry up, hoping he'd go eaten by an ogre, simply Rumple saved the day. Rumple warned the youngster that he should go home to his family. Henry then encountered Regina, who was baffled that he idea he was her son. He showed her the new version of the book, which said she robbed a carriage to buy passage out of the kingdom ? and she freaked out that information technology knew her hereafter and burned it. Undeterred, Henry continued with Regina and told her she had to find Robin and kiss him. After all, true love'south buss can fix anything. Unfortunately for Henry, in this world Robin is Regina's "contest," and Regina left him to commit her robbery, and Henry, having learned Emma was locked upwards, set up out to observe her.

Elsewhere, the Writer was captured by the dwarves, who brought him to Snow. She spared his life when he revealed he knew she lost her truthful love and promised to assistance her become revenge on Regina. Snow and the Huntsman gear up a trap for Regina, and while they were successful at threatening her, Robin saved her before they could do any more damage. Regina was taken with Robin, but she was thrown when he introduced her to his fiancé, Zelena ? whom he planned to marry afterwards that day. (And whose wedding bells would signal the events of the alt-universe sticking.)

Henry, meanwhile, continued on his quest to gear up things, and found Hook. The pirate wasn't convinced he could be much help ? he can't captain the send. But Henry knocked out Black Beard and said he'd assist. They institute Emma, who instantly recognized her son; her "punishment" was to know the truth of what was going on, just take no magic to fix anything.

Though Hook had no memory of Emma, he pieced together that they wereclose. She taught him to use a sword, something he immediately put to utilize when they encountered Snowfall and the Huntsman (aka James' twin). Hook offered to fight them off then that Henry and Emma could try and fix things, and though he held his own for a few moments, Hook died in front of a shaken Emma.

Elsewhere, Rumple's concern well-nigh what was going on began to eat at him, and he talked with Belle. She was confident her hubby would do the right thing because he'southward the Lite 1.

Emma and Henry found Regina, and Emma encouraged Regina to stop Robin's wedding if she had feelings for him. Emma shared that she had just watched the homo she loved dice, merely she was "also scared" to ever tell him that she loved him. The trio gear up out to terminate the wedding.

One time they got there, notwithstanding, Rumple wasn't having any of it and was set on keeping this earth. He fought Emma as Regina opened the door to the church where Robin and Zelena were getting married. But when Rumple turned on Henry, Regina sacrificed herself to save her son, forgoing the possibility of stopping the nuptials.

Though the church bells rang, they were able to effigy out a solution: Henry touched the Author's quill, and was able to become the next Author. He used Regina'south claret as ink, and undid the new reality with his writing — everyone wound upwardly back in Storybrooke.

Emma, later hugging Henry, went searching for Claw. But instead of telling him the truth of her feelings, she thanked him for his help.

Things were less positive for Rumple, who was dying. Belle admitted she loved him, and they could take had the perfect marriage of the alternate universe if he had trusted in their dear. She vowed not to let him die lonely, but she looked to the remainder of the town for assist, and to warn them that they were in danger. The Apprentice (Timothy Webber) said they could try capturing his dark essence into the Sorcerer's hat, but that it would exist a chance.

At first, it seemed to piece of work ? though the damage to Rumple'southward center was meaning, and they would accept to "preserve him" to come across if he could be saved ? only so the night essence escaped, attacking the Apprentice. Emma saved him using her magic. The Apprentice told them that "long earlier your stories began, the Sorcerer battled the darkness," and to salvage the earth, he tethered the darkness to a human soul who could be controlled past the dagger (like Rumple has been for the past iv seasons). Only the Sorcerer could now end the darkness, and then they must find him. He exists "far, far" from there, and he goes by the proper name of Merlin.

The darkness left, and they attempted to find information technology. It attacked Regina, and when Robin was prevented from saving her, Emma realized the only way to save Regina was to necktie the darkness to herself. Regina objected, only Emma told her, "You've worked too hard to take your happiness destroyed." Emma reassured her parents they would find a way to save her, and she told Hook she loved him before the darkness overtook her. The dagger now had the name Emma Swan written on it.

When One time Upon a Time showrunners Adam Horowitz and EdwardKitsis spoke with The Hollywood Reporter earlier the finale, they hinted that the concluding hours of the flavour would lay the groundwork for what would exist in shop for season five.

"Nosotros certainly are setting upward for what side by side season would exist at the terminate of the finale this twelvemonth, but we're doing it in hopefully a dissimilar fashion than we've done before," shared Kitsis. "It'due south probably a little more reminiscent, in a way, to season ane, where a status [was ready out] that magic is coming, versus having a new villain of the year or a journeying to a different world. It'll be in a slightly different way, but hopefully just every bit earthshaking or changing than we've ever washed, if not more and then."

With the events of the finale, information technology leaves a few primal characters in interesting positions:

Emma: Flavour 5 will arguably accept the most personal Big Bad the show has had so far. Though Regina and Rumple accept been Big Bads, when that happened, many of their relationships with the people of Storybrooke were complicated, at best. For Emma, she has been the savior. She has her parents, her son, Hook, and friends. How volition they deal with trying to relieve her? And what volition Dark Emma be able to put them through?

Henry: What will his new position every bit Author mean? Initially, he wanted to bring his father back to life, just was told his powers won't let that. Bated from that, he seems content to write the things that occur… so volition that cause any noticeable shift in his character?

Rumple: Who is Rumple when he's not tethered to being the Dark One? In one case he comes out of the state he'south in, will he mourn the loss of ability? Or can he try to be happy with Belle? And volition he even attempt to help Emma?

Lily: She'southward sticking effectually in town, and is determined to detect her father. Since Maleficent (Kristin Bauer van Straten ) doesn't know who the human being is (it'southward "a dragon affair"), and she just has a office of her egg to go by, will her quest lead her to a familiar confront?

Merlin: The Once Upon a Fourth dimension bosses said that the finale wasn't setting up new characters for season v, and information technology'south possible Merlin won't come into play for a practiced portion of the year (much similar it took the series more half a season to innovate the Author afterward they offset mentioned him) ? but surely he'll be there at some signal in season five? Merlin has been mentioned in passing earlier ? in season three'south "Lost Girl" when Charming told Snow that Merlin was a mage from Camelot who forged the sword, Excalibur and ? from the King Arthur story? Lancelot ( Sinqua Walls) appeared (and quickly died) in season ii. How deep will the show dive into the realm of Camelot next yr? Or will the bear witness exist as well busy with Dark Emma for the foreseeable hereafter?

Zelena: What the heck are they going to exercise with her? You tin't kill off a pregnant villain. Is she just going to stay locked up and knocked upwardly for the foreseeable future? Information technology's understandable that Robin and Regina will deal with the state of affairs together, but even if they opt to raise Zelena's kid, is there any way Zelena could be redeemed? Or is she doomed to being locked up for the rest of the show?
