{4.5\/5} “You ever wonder if this constant pursuit\u00a0for revenge is the reason we’ve no one who cares for us?”<\/p>\n

Magic is brought to Storybrooke — and everyone remembers their past as characters from the enchanted forest. But people still can’t leave town — if\u00a0they do, they’ll lose\u00a0their memory. Then the one person who’s capable of throwing Regina off her game comes to town — her mother. Emma finds herself meeting a giant at the top of a beanstalk. Neal, Emma’s ex-boyfriend, turns up — he’s related to someone in Storybrooke. And a couple of people come to Storybrooke because it’s their quest to destroy all magic in the world.<\/p>\n

Once again in the finale a new situation is put in place for next season — anything could happen.<\/p>\n
