Once Upon a Time fans can rest assured that Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and the gang will be headed straight to Storybrooke in the next episode of season 3.

"The Jolly Roger is not going to take a detour. It is going to find its way back to Storybrooke," series co-creator Edward Kitsis told TVLine in a Tuesday report. "And what happens there is where it gets exciting."

The gang remains unaware that Peter Pan (Robbie Kay) and Henry (Jared Gilmore) have switched bodies, meaning the soul of Pan (in Henry's body) is going with them to Storybrooke.

"People think it's time to celebrate. Everyone's going to come home to Storybrooke without realizing that there's a bomb under the table," Kitsis teased, referring to Pan.

Kitsis added that Pan is driven by his own self-preservation, explaining that the boy never wants grow beyond 14 years old.

"[Pan is] somebody who is completely selfish and is willing to give up his own child and, as you saw [last week], has no regrets about it," Kitsis said. "He really the worst, most selfish part of all of us."

Pan's deceptive abilities may prove deadly to the gang now that he is inhabiting the body of Henry. Behind-the-scenes photos were taken recently, featuring some big spoilers that may reveal a huge mistake made on the part of Mr. Gold (Robert Carlyle). The photos feature Mr. Gold stabbing Pan in the heart, but it is possible that he's really stabbing the soul of Henry assuming they do not switch their bodies back.

Once Upon a Time season 3 airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
