VERY BIG script tease from "The Last Battle":

": The battle is ours, Regina. Wish Regina? White Witch? Whatever. The point is-- Regina Mills: You've lost. You have no more army. This is your last chance to surrender. (She pulls out a scroll: the . Recognizing it immediately, Zelena and Fiona conjure fireballs, which are immediately dispelled.) Zelena: An anti-magic field. (Regina holds her sword up over her head, preparing to throw it.) White Witch: One more move and you'll all be petrified. Regina: You said no magic. We watched you seal it in the vault! White Witch: Please, do you really think that such a powerful curse would only be stolen once? The Deplorable Word was passed down to every member of the royal family of . One of them made a second copy and smuggled it here. Who knows how many other copies exist out there? Regina: Don't do this, Regina. You know what the cost of that Word is. You'll never be loved again. White Witch: (scoffs) I'm not loved now. Regina: But you could be! I am. We're the same person. You can change, too. Please. Put down the scroll. Come with us. (The White Witch's face softens. She seems to consider this for the briefest moment, but then... She holds up the scroll and begins speaking incoherently. It begins to glow as it activates.) Regina: NO! (And in Prince Charming style, Regina releases the sword. It flies through the air, slicing the scroll in two and piercing the White Witch through the chest. She stops as the scroll falls to the ground. But as a single tear falls from her eye... Her last breath is the final syllable of the Word. As she falls to the ground, the pieces of the scroll glow again. The palace begins to petrify around them. WIDE SHOT: The entire realm is petrifying. Creatures flee, but they can't outrun the curse. What was once a lush, green land is now dead.) END OF EPISODE."
