"Once Upon a Time" season three returned to ABC after a midseason break on Sunday, and viewers are already on the edge of their seats.

Sunday's episode revealed the newest villain on the show and one of the most evil characters in fairytale history: the Wicked Witch of the West, portrayed by Rebecca Mader. The witch's name in "Once Upon a Time" is Zelena and she has descended upon Storybrooke. The latest sneak peak at the show revealed her true look, according to E! News.

Furthermore, the glimpse at this Sunday's episode, entitled "Witch Hunt," includes the first looks at the return of Dr. Whale (David Anders), Mr. Hopper (Raphael Sbarge), Belle (Emile de Ravin) and other characters from previous seasons of the show.

Meanwhile, the brand new episode will see Storybrooke residents grapple a new curse that wipes away their memories of the characters in "Once Upon A Time." The curse also locks the characters within Storybrooke, and who ever tries to leave finds themselves in even more trouble, with some even disappearing altogether.

In the past, "Once Upon A Time" co-creator Adam Horowitz revealed spoilers about season three, promising fans a "compelling and new mode of storytelling … an exciting new variation on things we've done before," according to TV Line.

Horowitz also shed light on the possible romance between Rumple and Belle, known as "Rumbelle."

"To the Rumbellers out there, we hope that you enjoy what we have in store," he said. "In the second half of the season, they are going to be in the same world for an extended period of time."

The other creator of "Once," Eddy Kitsis, added, "The second half of the season will further explore their relationship- in whatever state that is."

The episode scheduled for this Sunday, March 15 is entitled "Witch Hunt." The synopsis on TV Guide is as follows: "Emma and Regina join forces to figure out who's behind the new curse. Meanwhile, back in fairy-take land, Robin Hood helps Regina break into her castle, which is occupied by the Wicked Witch of the West."
