"That was Emma's first happy ending she actually returned. That was the very first time that Emma, at the end of it, decided to stay in Storybrooke. She saw herself through Cinderella. Now we're in a situation where what if someone could undo all the happiness you've done, would your life matter? faced with somebody out there that's trying to undo the ones done."
"As our heroes set out to stop Hyde, Emma develops a mysterious side effect, and Storybrooke becomes a haven for refugees from the Land of Untold Stories. Meanwhile, Regina and Zelena embrace their newfound sisterhood by becoming roommates, while Rumple tries to free Belle from the sleeping Curse with the help of a stranger. In flashback, Jafar confronts an afflicted Aladdin in Agrabah, and a secret about the Savior is revealed."
One pretty open secret at this point is that Aladdin was a Savior. As Kitsis also told EW, "So we can say that through Aladdin we might learn a lot more about Saviors. We are going to be seeing a lot of our version of Aladdin's story in the first five episodes." Deniz Akdeniz guest stars as Aladdin, with Oded Feher as Jafar.
