ABC has released an official description and preview images for the December 14 winter finale of Once Upon A Time, which is called “Heroes and Villains.”

Before we get to the new photos, here’s the write-up:

In the aftermath of the Snow Queen’s spell, our heroes try to pick up the pieces and Regina has to make a difficult choice. Hook’s fate hangs in the balance as Gold’s quest for power threatens everything he holds dear. And, in the Enchanted Forest flashback, an intrusion during Belle’s stay at Rumplestiltskin’s dark castle will wreak havoc in both the past and the future, on the winter finale of “Once Upon a Time,” SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Here are the preview images, including Rumplestiltskin and Captain Hook NOT killing each other, for a change:
