With titles like Second Star to the Right and And Straight On 'Til Morning, Once Upon A Time
fans have been buzzing that the final two episodes of the season would
introduce, at long last, Peter Pan and Neverland. Something ABC
semi-confirmed this morning when they released the opening act of next
Sunday's penultimate episode [watch that here] where young Baelfire meets Wendy Darling ... in Victorian England!
The
sneak peek also introduces an intriguing new entity known as The Home
Office, a mysterious organization that tasked Tamara and Greg to
Storybrooke for a still-unknown purpose.
This morning, Once Upon A Time creators
Adam Horowitz and Eddie Kitsis met with reporters for a roundtable
discussion about those aforementioned developments, what the final two
episodes have in store for fans and their biggest season two regret!
Hooked on Neverland
The next two episodes are, in many ways, one prolonged story with both
installments focusing on Baelfire's backstory, and how he could become
Peter Pan. "We've hinted that Baelfire knew somebody from the world of
Peter Pan and we know that he has a weird connection to this person,"
Kitsis told us.
"And this person will be seen and he has beautiful guyliner ... and a
shiny hand." He added, "The finale is very Hook-centric in the
flashback."

What Is The Home Office?
In the clip, Tamara talks about sending the magic beans and Regina's black diamond
back to The Home Office for analysis. The creators promise fans will
learn what The Home Office is and what they're after, but not why they
want it over the next two episodes. Eddie adds, "We've all been trained
with Initiatives and secret organizations, [so] we're hoping to lead you
down a different path."
The same goes for Tamara and Greg. "By
the end of this season, you will know a lot more about what Greg and
Tamara are trying to achieve, who they're working for and what that
means for all our characters," Adam says. "They're here for a mission
and whether or not they succeed in that mission will be in the finale."

How Final Will The Finale Be?
In last night's episode, Regina revealed that there is, effectively, a
self-destruct button for the curse. One that would destroy everybody in
Storybrooke and reset the timeline. "Unfortunately for Regina, she's now
strapped to a table and the two people who have it seem hellbent on
getting rid of this town," Eddie says, before revealing, "We are
definitely going to see what that black diamond does because you can't show a bomb and not have it go off."
Familiar Faces Will Return
The next two episodes will also see the return of Mulan, Aurora and Prince Phillip, the creators revealed. But there are a couple characters OUAT fans will never see. "We are not bringing Star Wars on, other than the ringtones," Eddie says about ABC's parent company acquiring rights to the Star Wars universe. "There are no huger fans of Star Wars than [Eddie and I], Adam continued. "[But] the way we've conceived the show sadly never included Star Wars. And I don't think it should."
Biggest Season Two Regret
Eddie and Adam also took a moment to address a major fan complaint this
season: The Tasing of Pinocchio. "Here's the thing, we thought, 'We need
a real world weapon.'" In the moments in making that decision we never
realized the backlash that would be from a taser," Eddie emphatically
said. "We just figured the audience assumed it wasn't a taser ... but
they didn't. So I got a lot of history lessons about wood and conducting
electricity. If I could go back one season and change one thing, I
would have made it a syringe. If she had just taken a [glowing] syringe
and shoved it into the dragon, no one would give a sh*t. I am sorry we
chose a taser. We are willing to take the hit for the taser. We f*cked
up."
Once Upon A Time airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
