I'm not sure if "season finale" spoilers should go into the 5x22 or 5x23 thread, but here are some teasers from EW broken down by character:

Emma (Jennifer Morrison) EDWARD KITSIS: Emma is dealing with some serious family problems and internal strife. ADAM HOROWITZ: Emma is forced to look inward as she deals with some strife that surrounds her with her family and her loved ones.

Regina (Lana Parrilla) HOROWITZ: Regina, much like Emma, is dealing with an inward crisis that dovetails with something that’s happening to the people she really cares about. Because of that, she finds herself really tested. KITSIS: Also, Regina finds herself, once again, feeling like the Evil Queen is something she can never break free off. There’s a karmic debt that she still hasn’t repaid.

Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) HOROWITZ: We’re going to see some of Snow’s growth from, as we’ve seen this season, Mary Margaret to really embracing that she is Snow White. Long past wounds, particularly with Regina, are dealt with in this finale.

Prince Charming (Josh Dallas) KITSIS: Snow and Charming are going to find themselves in an old situation in a very new place.

Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) KITSIS: Rumple is going to be doing what Rumple does best, which is looking out for himself.

Belle (Emilie de Ravin) KITSIS: Belle is going to continue to be on maternity leave. HOROWITZ: But, that said, Belle does play a key role in what’s happening in the finale, particularly with regards to Rumple, while still managing to be on maternity leave.

Henry (Jared Gilmore) KITSIS: Henry is going to be going rogue. HOROWITZ: Henry is the driving force of what’s happening in the season finale. In many ways, it’s coming full circle to how the whole series started. Once again, he’s the catalyst for many of these events.

KITSIS: Don’t know what’s going to happen to him. It sure looked like he was stuck in [the Underworld].
