Is the identity of the hooded figure who stabs Emma in her vision going to revealed sooner rather than later?
Eddy Kitsis: You'll have the answer before the Christmas break.
So the timeline of this is that she could die around Christmas?
Kitsis: No — we could find out who's under the hood then. She could die as early as next week.
Adam Horowitz: That looming fate is something that hangs over her and opens up a lot of questions. Is it an immutable fate or is it something you can fight and change, and what does that mean? Do you tell the people you love, and how does everyone deal with that? Her first instinct is not to tell, so we're going to explore what that means initially.
Oh, Emma, just tell Hook! Or your parents! Or even Henry, although maybe he's too young to be carrying all of these burdens. Tell Regina!
Kitsis added to EW, of the hooded figure:
"Emma is going to wonder who that is. We're definitely going to be exploring that. It could be someone we've met before. I definitely would say it is somebody we've met before. Who's in the hood is going to be a mystery. To tell you now would be like, 'Here's who shot J.R.'"
Tell us now anyway, then don't shoot (or stab) our J.R. at all. Next Sunday's October 2 episode is called "A Bitter Draught," and then we know Cinderella and her evil stepmother and stepsister are coming in Episode 3, "The Other Shoe."
Do you really think they will kill Emma? We're crossing off that "as early as next week" tease as bogus, but it's not like OUAT is afraid of killing main characters, it just likes to bring them back later for more.
