OH MY GOSH GUYS THAT WAS THE MOST EPIC THING I HAVE EVER SEEN EVER!!!
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE SEASON 5 PREMIERE DO NOT READ ON BECAUSE THERE WILL BE MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!!!
In case you didn't figure already, I am freaking out so much. That season premiere was so intense!!!!!! Premiere recap, ready, go!
Ok so at the beginning, everyone was trying to find a way to get to the Emma because she disappeared, and we saw Emma in the Enchanted Forest trying to figure out how to get to Merlin to get some answers. Rumple appears in Emma's mind since he is the old Dark One, and he was trying to influence her to give in to the darkness. While on the way to find Merlin, Rumple tells Emma that she needs a wisp to guide her, so she bumps into Merida who, coincidentally, needed it as well.
Back in Storybrooke, Regina found a way to get to Emma, but they needed dark and light potential to fuel the wand. Hook and Regina got into this fight, Hook saying that they needed Zelena's wickedness to get to Emma, but Regina refused. Hook and Henry went behind her back and sneaked into the asylum to break Zelena out. Zelena took Hook's mini dagger, cut off her own hand so the magic-blocking bracelet thing would come off, and then she disappeared. She's a psychopath, I know.
Zelena went after Robin and took him hostage, trying to get Regina to hand over the wand so she could safely go back to Oz alone. Eventually, the entire gang tricked Zelena, and they used the power of the wand to transport Granny's Diner to the Enchanted Forest.
Meanwhile, Emma was told by Rumple that if Merida used the wisp before her, she wouldn't be able to use it until Merida died. She was this close to crushing her heart, she was literally holding it in her hand, until her family and Hook showed up and stopped her. Naturally, this was a mega OTP moment for me, seeing as Emma and Hook were hugging and holding hands and everything, so basically I was excitedly yelling at the TV about how cute they were while my mom just awkwardly sat next to me and watched.
Emma gave the Dark One's dagger to Regina, trusting that if it ever became necessary, she could trust her to destroy her without clouded judgment. When the gang walked back to Granny's Diner, King Arthur showed up and told them that Merlin had known they would come eventually. Arthur and his knights took Mary Margaret, David, Emma, Hook, Henry, Robin, Regina, Roland, etc. to Camelot and to the castle. It was all good. Until.....
The scene blacked out and there was a time jump to six weeks later. The entire gang was back in Storybrooke, but they were all wearing medieval clothing. None of them remembered what happened after they were taken to the castle, just like the Missing Year from season 3.
Then Emma shows up, completely decked out in black leather. She tells her parents and everyone else that whilst they had gone to the Enchanted Forest/Camelot to take the darkness away from her, they had actually failed. So basically, I screamed at the TV like a banshee on fire.
Regina reached for the dagger, knowing that now was the time to control the darkness, but grabbed at air. Emma held the dagger in front of her face, teasing with the darkness.
Ready for the most heartbreaking part? Killian said, "Emma, why are you doing this?" with the most hurt expression ever, and Emma replied with, "Because...I'm the Dark One." And I swear to you that is the moment I died because just looking at Killian's heartbroken face was enough to shatter my soul. He had spent centuries trying to find a way to destroy the Dark One, and now found himself in the position that the Dark One was his true love, containing all the darkness. I'm not even exaggerating.
You know, I was completely fine, everyone was happy, and then BAM! A bomb is dropped on the entire fandom so we can slowly go insane for the next seven days. Thanks a lot, Adam and Eddy.
Anyway, I know I must have sounded completely insane, but it's the truth. I am just in so much emotional pain right now and the suspense is already killing me. Watch Once Upon a Time next Sunday at 8 on ABC, and you'll know what I'm talking about. :/
