"Once Upon A Time" returns to ABC for a third season on Sunday, Sept. 29. Season three will pick up moments after the season two finale. In case you have forgotten Emma (Jennifer Morrison), Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin), Charming (Josh Dallas), Regina (Lana Parrilla), Mr. Gold (Robert Carlyle), and Captain Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) are on their way to Neverland in order to save Henry (Jared S. Gilmore). Henry was taken through a portal to Neverland by Tamara (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Greg (Ethan Embry). The pair are working together for an organization that's out to destroy all magic. At the end of last season Henry's family joined up with hook on board his ship the Jolly Roger. Using a magic bean they were instantly transported through a portal and into Neverland. Peter Pan is the one who rules over Neverland but he is not the happy go-lucky kid from the Disney movies. The "Once Upon A Time" version of Peter Pan is a demon that takes children to Neverland, a place of torment and sorrow. Peter Pan also controls the lost boys. He sends them out to find the children he wants for Neverland. There is one boy the Pan wants more than anything. His lost boys have been searching for the boy for years. It turns out that the boy Pan so desperately wants is Henry. The reasoning behind Pan's need to find Henry is not yet clear. Season three will open up with everyone looking for Henry. The first episode titled "Heart of the Truest Believer" will start off with a flash back from 11 years prior to the events of the season two finale. Henry is 11 years old and there is the possibility that the story of how Regina adopted Henry will finally be told. The adoption story may not be told until episode nine but in episode one we will see Henry as a baby. Another heartwarming family moment will happen between Emma and her mother Snow White. Emma has not been very receptive to Snow and Charming as parents. You can imagine it would be pretty weird to grow up your entire life thinking you were abandoned only to find out you were born of fairy tale characters. It also must be weird to look at your parents who have not aged in 28 years and who look like they are only a few years older than yourself. But the rumor mill has been turning and we are told that a there will be a "heartbreaking" scene between mother and daughter.
