'Once Upon a Time' Season 5 Episode 12 Spoilers: Emma Goes into the Underworld to Save Neal and Hook
The next episode of "Once Upon a Time" promises a tour of the Underworld since Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and the gang will go down there to save Hook (Colin O'Donoghue). Recent spoilers also suggest that Emma might try to save Neal Cassidy (Michael Raymond-James), also known as Baelfire, during her trip there.
According to reports, the possibility of Neal coming back in season 5B is high. He's dead, but only because he sacrificed himself for the safety of his family and friends. Since the theme of the second half of season 5 is bringing back those who were gone, many speculated that Emma will rescue Neal along with Hook, since Neal died for her anyway. Viewers have at least one month to go before they can confirm this theory, since the midseason premiere will air this March.
The website also revealed the characters that are said to be appearing back on the show in the 12th episode, which is titled "Souls of the Departed." They are Sidney Glass (Giancarlo Esposito), Cora (Barbara Hershey), Prince Henry (Tony Perez), and The Blind Witch (Emma Caulfield). Peter Pan (Robbie Kay), Milah (Rachel Shelley), and Cruella de Vil (Victoria Smurfit) were also confirmed to come back in the upcoming episode, which also serves as the 100th episode of the series, according to reports.
Meanwhile, a recent tweet revealed that the title of the 18th episode is "Ruby Slippers." According to Carter Matt, the title can either refer to Dorothy's (Teri Reeves) return to the show, or it will tackle more of the Red Riding Hood or Ruby's (Meghan Ory) rumored love story with Mulan (Jamie Chung). No further details were released yet, so fans will just have to stay tune for latest updates.
Watch the premiere of "Once Upon a Time" season 5B on ABC this March 6, Sunday.
