List of episodes

The season's plot follows the breaking of the curse and the introduction of magic by Rumplestiltskin / Mr. Gold into Storybrooke in the first season finale, with the characters having to deal with their dual identities and new emerging threats. Existing fictional characters introduced to the series during the season include Captain Hook, Princess Aurora, Mulan, Prince Phillip, Robin Hood, the Darling family, and the Lost Boys.

Premise

With the curse broken, the residents of Storybrooke struggle with resolving their original and cursed memories, left wondering about the fate of their land. When Rumplestiltskin / Mr. Gold successfully introduces magic into the real world, some of the Storybrooke residents try to figure out how to return home, leading to an incident with the Mad Hatter's teleporting hat that causes Emma and Snow White / Mary Margaret to be accidentally transported to the Enchanted Forest. They discover that part of the realm was spared from the curse, keeping the remaining inhabitants frozen during the 28 years. Among them are allies Aurora and Mulan, along with enemies Regina's mother Cora and Captain Hook. The latter two follow Emma and Mary Margaret as they successfully make it back to Storybrooke, with Cora wanting to get even with Regina, and Hook wanting to kill Rumplestiltskin for taking his hand and his lover. Meanwhile, Rumplestiltskin works to bypass the protective boundary and leave Storybrooke to find his missing son Baelfire, who is revealed to be Henry's father. The magical boundary around Storybrooke starts to falter, allowing strangers from the outside world to enter the town, including outsiders Greg Mendell and Tamara, both of whom secretly working for a mysterious organization tracking and eliminating magic. Their actions lead to Henry's captivity in Neverland, setting up the third season.

Production

Development

On May 10, 2012, ABC ordered Once Upon a Time for a second season,^[1] which premiered on September 30, 2012.^[24]

Co-creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis spoke about the repercussions of the first season finale's events, stating, "Magic as we know always comes with a price and we are introducing it to a world where it has never been before and I think that's going to have unpredictable results. It's going to affect everybody this season because that's what's more fun." said Kitsis. On everyone in Storybrooke's memories returning Horowitz commented, "One of the things that's interesting to us to explore is this notion that just because the memories have returned does not mean that the past 28 years did not happen. Those memories, the Davids, the Mary Margarets, the Mr. Golds, all those people, who they were existed and what they did actually happened and those are the things that will have to be dealt with."^[25][26]

The show still bounced back-and-forth between the fairy-tale world and Storybrooke, although there were slight differences compared to season one.^[26] It was hinted that another form of narrative was introduced during the season.^[27]

M. Barrie's Peter Pan.^[34] O'Donoghue joined the main cast during the second half of the season.^[35] The same day, it was reported that True Blood's Michael Raymond-James had joined the season's recurring cast in an unknown role, described only as "mysterious".^[36] This was later revealed to be Neal Cassidy (Rumplestiltskin's son Baelfire, Emma Swan's ex-boyfriend and Henry Mills' father). Lost alum Jorge Garcia recurs as Anton the Giant, referenced from Jack and the Beanstalk. Garcia was originally set to appear in only one episode, but his character's role was later expanded.^[37][38] Actor Raphael Sbarge, who portrays Jiminy Cricket, was made part of the recurring cast this season, as opposed to being included in the first season's main cast.^[39] The L Word actress Rachel Shelley played the recurring role of Milah, Rumplestiltskin's wife.^[40] Eureka actor Christopher Gauthier recurred throughout the season as William Smee, Captain Hook's right-hand-man.^[41] In October 2012, Can't Hardly Wait star Ethan Embry joined the recurring cast as an unknown visitor to Storybrooke.^[42] Eion Bailey, who plays Pinocchio / August Booth, made guest appearances in episodes six and 18.^[43][44] Tony Perez (Prince Henry) and Alan Dale (King George / Albert Spencer) both made recurring appearances in some capacity throughout the season.^[39][45][46]

It was implicated that the role has the potential to become recurring.^[52] Caprica actor John Pyper-Ferguson guest starred in "Welcome to Storybrooke" as Kurt Flynn, a widower who longs to aid his son after experiencing the loss of his mother.^[53] Season one co-star Jamie Dornan also reprised his role as Sheriff Graham Humbert in the episode.^[54]

Kings actor Sebastian Stan had portrayed Jefferson / Mad Hatter in a recurring role since the first season and returned for three episodes of season two;^[55] he had since departed from the show with obligations to the Broadway play Picnic and his role as Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was reported that ABC was set to recast the role with the potential for a possible spin-off based on the character.^[56] However, Stan's recasting was repudiated by series co-creator Adam Horowitz, saying that Stan "is a very busy man, I don't know when he will be making his way back toward us".^[57] He later confirmed that Stan would not be returning to the series in 2013.^[58]
