The report says that OUAT fans will learn precisely what Rumple is doing in order to command Regina into doing what he wants, specifically noting that it doesn't concern Henry, thankfully.
"It's something entirely different and yet familiar at the same time," Kitsis said.
Rumple blackmailing Regina was also covered in the synopsis for the next episode, which is titled Heart of Gold.
"Emma [Jennifer Morrison] is still reeling after learning the truth of her parents' history with Maleficent [Kristin Bauer van Straten], but she must focus on finding the Author, who is running loose in Storybrooke, before Gold does," the synopsis reads. "When Gold's quest for his happy ending grows more urgent, he blackmails Regina into helping him."
The next episode also features the return of the Wicked Witch/Zelena (Rebecca Mader), but only through flashbacks of course. The promo for the episode was entirely centered around her "return."
Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
