The Season 5 finale for ABC’s Once Upon a Time airs Sunday, May 15 at 8 p.m EDT on ABC. The two-hour finale is split into two episodes: episode 22 (titled “Only You”) and episode 23 (titled “An Untold Story”) will tie up loose ends and reveal everything that took place in Camelot, reports TVLine.
“On Sunday's two-hour Once Upon a Time Season 5 finale (episode 22 "Only You" and episode 23 "An Untold Story"), Regina (Lana Parrilla) wrestles with her inner demons as she reels from Robin's (Sean Maguire) death, but when the heroes discover Gold (Robert Carlyle) has stolen Hades' Olympian Crystal and tethered all of Storybrooke’s magic to it, they set out to stop him,” reveals the ABC synopsis. “Henry (Jared Gilmore) decides he no longer can stand all the pain magic has caused his family, so he goes on a dangerous rogue mission to destroy magic once and for all. Meanwhile, Zelena (Rebecca Mader), Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin), David (Josh Dallas) and Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) attempt to open a portal that will return Merida and the other Storybrooke guests to their homes, but things go awry, and the group winds up in a deranged new world.”
The final episode of Season 5 will introduce two new characters played by Sam Witwer and Hank Harris. Witwer will be playing an evil warden and Harris will be the warden’s patient. “Sam and Hank play characters who play a pivotal role in the season finale,” said Horowitz to Entertainment Weekly. “Where they’re from, who they are, and what they’re doing does tee up an element of what we’re doing for Season 6. It’s more like opening a door, rather than introducing the whole of what Season 6 will be. Hopefully we’re giving you a little taste of what’s to come.”
The fairy-tale drama will be introducing “something new for Season 6,” says executive producer Adam Horowitz. He adds that there will be “ominous threats that are different from the ones we’ve experienced before.”
