Narrator: When the story began...

Emma: Look, it's been a long night, and it's almost — eight-fifteen?

Henry: That clock hasn't moved my whole life. Time's frozen here.



Narrator: Everything was paused. Until...

Granny: How long will you be with us?

Emma: A week. Just a week.



Narrator: The Savior appeared. And then...

Henry: What happens at the end of the book? Narrator: The Final Battle was fought.



Narrator: And stories were reborn.

Henry: I returned to the Sorcerer's Mansion. And you know what I found? Hundreds of other books... With the stories told differently. Like you know how there is a French Snow White and an Italian one.



Narrator: And their biggest threat yet began...

Zelena: Well, this is bloody disturbing.



Narrator: ...with the arrival of Rumplestiltskin. Rumplestiltskin: It's time you and I got better acquainted.



Narrator: Tonight, the cast of Once Upon a Time answers your questions... Merlin: You will be my first Author. Narrator: As we prepare for the most significant episode number of the show.



Lana Parrilla: I think it's really magical that we're doing this for episode 815. It shows the number's importance to the lore of the show.



Andrew J. West: To know how much this number means... is incredible. Henry himself is really attached to it because of the whole stopped time thing in Storybrooke. Henry: It seems to me like everything is pretty much the same around here.



Emma Rigby: I'm really, really thankful to them for giving me the opportunity to be here, in the center in an episode of this significance. Especially as Anastasia herself hadn't appeared in the main show until now. (laughs) Red Queen: We all come to Wonderland looking for something more, darling.



Narrator: And as the clock is about to thick... Will Scarlet: For twenty-eight years, the hand didn't move. Then one day, tick-tock, it bloody did.



Mekia Cox: OK, here's the question... For Mekia... Hm... 'Have you filmed with Lucy Punch?' Oh wait, they already know it? (laughs) Well, I don't really know how much I can say about it. I mean... I think Tiana's story has been very well-developed throughout the show. They mixed the Princess and the Frog movie with the original fairytale, and also added their own spins to it. Robert: About my lady love, I kind of misled you before.



Mekia Cox: So, earlier this season we were presented to Mama Odie, and now Charlotte. So yes, I'll say that I have filmed with Lucy Punch. Actually... Charlotte and Tiana have an entire episode only for them. So, we're exploring their friendship in this ep, and we'll see how much it's changed from when they were children to present day. Tiana: I thought my life would be full of balls, and romance. Mekia Cox: There's even a scene that's a reference to a scene from the film, with Tiana and Charlotte as children, so it was really nice to do all that.



Tiera Skovbye: Hm, let me see... 'How will Robin's journey for redemption be developed during the rest of the arc?' Margot: No... The Third Fate has awaken. Tiera Skovbye: I think she'll have a lot of work to do if she really wants to prove she is sorry.

Rose Reynolds: Robin's journey has always been that of a true human being, just like you or me. So, having her commit lots of mistakes because of her mother is really natural, and will also let some room for us to develop her and Alice's romance. Robin: Why don't we take this for the road and get the hell out of this place?



Tiera Skovbye: I mean, there's still their wedding now, so they'll face some problems before they can actually get married. Margot: Can I have your blessing to marry Alice?



Catherine O'Hara: I think maybe you're all forgetting the main responsible for most of Robin's mistakes. Me. (laughs) : This is the only way to prevent your mother from dying. Catherine O'Hara: Atropos is really, really manipulative. That's her main trait. She knows exactly how to get people to do what she wants them to, and that makes her a really dangerous enemy.

Colin O'Donoghue: 'How is playing Wish Hook different from the original one?' I mean... It's a lot different. Hook: I've heard of you--of me, from that other realm. The one created by a wish. Hook (Wish Realm): So Emma did mention me. It's always nice to make good impression.



Colin O'Donoghue: Both Hooks have a few different traits and a different story, but there's one thing that really unites them, which is the fact that they're always fighting for who they love. Emma: If you're afraid of losing your happy ending, that means you found it. What is it? Hook: Don't you know, Emma? It's you.



Hook (Wish Realm): But I'm gonna do my best to make sure that nothing parts any of us. Colin O'Donoghue: So their main goal were always to protect Emma and Alice, respectively. And now I think there's something really nice, that while the first Hook's main loved one was his love interest and the second one was his daughter...



Emma: You wanna give your stepfather a hand there? Hook: Pun intended. Pun always intended. Ain't that the case? Colin O'Donoghue: ...Now Emma's Hook also has his daughter Hope, and Alice's Hook also has his love interest, Sapphire, which is really nice, to explore how different these relationships are and yet how alike they are, too.



Robin Hood: You nearly got us all killed. Because of a woman. Where is she now? ... I'm sorry. Michael Socha: 'How do you feel being back as Will Scarlet and the Red Queen?' Oh, well, that's the hell of a question, ain't it?



Red Queen: Can it actually do what they say? Take us far away from here? Will Scarlet: There's only one way to find out. Emma Rigby: I mean... Ana and Will had such a love story, but it ended up unfinished as of his return in Season Four. So it feels very gratifying to be able to come back and finish it now.



Red Queen: I'm trying to make it up to you. Will Scarlet: I don't need your pity, Ana. Michael Socha: They managed to close all locks, so we're closing this story in a very satisfying way, I hope.



Alison Fernandez: 'What is Lucy's part in the Three Fates storyline?' Well... I think she has a really big part, to be honest. There's an episode where she really proves how crucial she is to the group. Lucy: Can I tell you a secret? This isn't really about the condos.



Dania Ramirez: Lucy's always had this desire of proving she's worthy, and I think she will now. In the last few episodes, you can sense that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as she is becoming, just like Henry, an Author. Henry: That's when I realized I have all this power, and I ignore it. I wanna be the hero, instead of the one the heroes rescue.



Dania Ramirez: 'What is your favorite episode?' I mean... Mine would have to be Season Seven episode three, "The Garden of Forking Paths". It reveals so much about Ella and who she is and where she comes from... Cinderella: So this is because of me? Will there never be a time where I've suffered enough for what I did?



Mekia Cox: Mine is totally "Greenbacks". That's when we see Tiana's backstory, how she became the person she is... Also, her friendship with Ella is so crucial to her journey in the show, and it is so important in this ep. Jacinda: You're a dreamer. And I love you for it, but I need a job, Belfrey off my case and a real plan to get Lucy back. This is too risky.



Catherine O'Hara: Well, I can't really say much by now... But I think you'll like episode 19. I don't think the title is revealed yet...? But it is when all this Fates storyline come together, and we all just fight a lot... There's a lot of action in this episode. Margot: Atropos? You're the Third Fate. Atropos: Yes, I am. And you're Margot.

Michael Socha: Mine is the eleventh ep of Wonderland, "Heart of the Matter". It is so massive to both our characters... Emma Rigby: That might be mine, too! It is so beautiful for Ana and Will's love story. Cora: You're about to make a terrible mistake. Red Queen: No. No, I'm about to fix one.



Colin O'Donoghue: As the original Hook, I think I'd say "The Crocodile"... But as Nook, well... I guess "Knightfall"? It's where Alice and Hook's relationship gets to a really turning point... It's very interesting. Hook: You do see the world in a special way, Alice. If you say the dream means something, I believe you.



Tiera Skovbye: Mine has to be "The Girl in the Tower". It is where we see the beginning of Alice and Robin's relationship, and how they've evolved until now... Robin: It's just not... cool, OK? Tilly: Cool? Why would you wanna be cool?



Rose Reynolds: While I am tempted to say "The Girl in the Tower", I honestly have to say my favorite ep is "Beauty". It is not only the first time we see Alice in action, but it's also such a beautiful episode. Pun intended. (laughs) Tilly: See, we all have stories. I have a story. This troll has a story. Even you, Mr. Weaver, has a story. And it's a thing of beauty.



Lana Parrilla: My two favorite episodes are "The Stable Boy" and "Page 23"... These two episodes that are so crucial to Regina's character. The first one, where we see what drove her to become the Evil Queen... Regina: Mother! Nooo! Noo! Mother, why have you done this?



Lana Parrilla: And then "Page 23", where her story comes full circle as she is forced to embrace her evil self and... learn to love herself. Evil Queen: What are you doing? Regina: I'm going to do what we never could. I'm going to be brave for both of us. And choose love over hate.



Andrew J. West: I mean... there are so many options, it's really hard to pick just one. (laughs) But I think I'll go with Season Seven episode twenty, "Is This Henry Mills?". It is so emotional and epic... Henry's character also gets to a crucial moment. Henry: Mom, I'm sorry it took me so long, but I'm here. I remember. I finally remember. Everything. Please, come back to me, mom. Come back. I love you.



Alison Fernandez: That's a hard one, but I think I'll ultimately pick "Hyperion Heights", the Season Seven premiere. It is where this new chapter begins... it was really nice. Lucy: Kind of expected my favorite writer to have a little more success. This place is a dump. Henry: You know, I didn't exactly write Harry Potter.



Lana Parrilla: How is Season Eight different from the other seasons? I mean... It's a lot different. In the first seasons, we had a cast... Snow: Now? Now we get to see what's next. Believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a powerful thing, but living with that kind of belief... That's the most powerful thing of all. That's hope.



Lana Parrilla: And we had Storybrooke, and all this. But then Season Seven came and everything changed... we went to Hyperion Heights, with a different cast, different iterations... Lucy: Come with me to my neighborhood, Hyperion Heights. Henry: Hyperion Heights? Lucy: It's like your Storybrooke.



Lana Parrilla: And now in Season Eight, with this United Realms concept, we've been to both Hyperion Heights and Storybrooke, and we also have both casts together. Henry: You're Mulan, right? Mulan: Yes, I am. Who are you? Henry: My name's Henry.

Emma Rigby: 'Will there be a prince in Ana's centric? Will we see her sisters?' Can I answer it? Michael Socha: I mean, they're all going to find out in a few minutes anyway, so I don't think there'll be any problem. Jabberwocky: You believe that if the Prince had chosen you instead of your stepsister, then... your mother would have loved you. Emma Rigby: Yes, we will see the prince and the sisters tonight. Ana's entire story will be revealed in a few minutes. Stay tuned! (laughs)



Catherine O'Hara: 'How is Atropos different than the other villains we've seen before?' She's different because she has always been there. She dictates most people's fates, including the ones of a very special group which we'll find out tonight. Emma: I'm having visions of what I think is my future.



Andrew J. West: But she is similar to some other villains, especially Rumplestiltskin, in the sense she is always making deals and manipulating people into doing what she wants, she hardly ever fights them. Rumplestiltskin: You see, aside from names, I also have a poncho for making deals.
