I had the fortune of attending the Once Upon a Time panel at New York Comic Con. The panel included a full length screening of this Sunday’s episode, “Rocky Road.” I will tease what to expect from the episode, along with recapping highlights from the Q&A session with Adam Horowitz, Eddy Kitsis, and Jennifer Morrison:

Plot teasers from “Rock Road” Once Upon a Time episode

Be careful from whom you accept free ice cream.

Get ready to finally meet Hans. He wants to prove to his teasing older brothers that, this time, he has a way of thwarting Elsa.

Elsa will explore her curiosity regarding how she got her powers.

An act of true love is put to the test.

Archie gives a stressful someone a voluntary session on the go.

A certain someone who has yet to appear on the parent show might be of some assistance in tracking down the true ice wall culprit.

We will find out exactly why Emma has been seemingly avoiding Hook.

Elizabeth Mitchell’s character implies that she also shares a past with one of the non-Frozen characters.

Teaser quotes

Note these might not be word for word, as I’m only recounting from a single viewing.

“I’m sorry I got you mixed up in this.”

“Do what I tell you, for once.”

“Hey, Dairy Queen.”

“I was never fond of sheriffs, much.”

“If it’s one thing I excel at, it’s survival.”

A return of “it’s all about the tumblers.”

Highlights (and spoilers) from the OUAT Q&A with Adam Horowitz, Eddy Kitsis, and Jennifer Morrison:

Adam and Eddy state that the biggest concern with both Disney and themselves regarding the Frozen characters was making sure to honor how they were depicted in the movie. The twist is not to reinvent them, but to see how they fit into the Once Upon A Time universe.

Next week’s episode features a date between Hook and Emma.

The story behind who wrote the book is something that will spread into the second half of the Season, as well.

August was confirmed as not the book’s author.

Jennifer Morrison notes that Emma will be fighting to prove that she and Regina can have a good friendship.

Rumple’s journey, this season, is described as “self-serving.”

Adam and Eddy mentioned how there’s a balance they have to keep track of between the main and secondary characters.

Be sure to watch this Sunday’s new episode of Once Upon a Time at 8/7 central on ABC, and come back here for our podcasts!
