Once Upon a Time - Heart of the Truest Believer

Oncers, it's time again. Time for the season three premiere of Once Upon a Time! Off to Neverland - land of not-so childhood dreams. 

If you are Tweeting tonight, use the hashtag: #SaveHenry - I doubt they'll save Henry in tonight episode but who knows what will happen! 

For the last couple of days, maybe up to a week, Once Upon a Time reps have been sending out new promo pictures of all the major characters for the Neverland trip. Each with a quote and a picture of them with a moon behind them. 

Hook: "Believe that a pirate can be a hero."
Regina: "Believe that a mother's love is stronger than her dark heart."
Charming: "Believe that a prince will always save his family."
Gold: "Believe that you can change fate."
Snow: "Believe that hope is the strongest magic of all." 
Emma: "Believe that a lost girl can find her way home."
The Jolly Roger: "Believe that six legends can come together to #SaveHenry." 

I can say, I love that they used to word believe in each promo picture. Makes me fandom infused heart beat faster! 

I did have some spoilers but I deleted the message to Rebekah about them. I know someone dies (please be either Tamara or what's-his-name!), some Captain Swan cuteness, uh...

Here are the spoilers I found:

1. All our characters are figuring out whether they're believers and/or need to accept who they truly are. This is definitely not an easy task for any of them but especially for Emma.
2. Ever been stuck on a car trip with people who easily get under your skin? That pretty much describes the voyage on Hook's ship. (The bickering is fun but watch for punches to be thrown - and not only by the men!)
3. If you think all mermaids are sweet and full of goodness like Ariel (JoAnna Garcia Swisher, who we'll meet in the November 3 episode), think again.
4. Someone voluntarily takes a swim on the voyage.
5. More than one person dies in the first hour.
6. Though I won't say Captain Swan shippers will be completely satisfied, Hook definitely doesn't hide his interest in a certain blonde on the show.
7. Gold/Rumpel does what he usually does: takes matters into his own hands. (He is so not a team player!)
8. No signs of new romance for Regina... yet... but Lana Parrilla does have some of the best lines in the episode. And, as you'd expect, the sea air does not stop her from looking amazing!
9. We know Neal is alive and we'll see him encounter more than a few familiar faces.
10. Henry is still a believer in magic, but that doesn't mean he's out of danger.
11. We meet someone that even Rumpelstiltskin is afraid of.
12. Hook may have some new competition in the dream boat department when we meet Robin Hood (now played by Sean Maguire).

Oncers, it's time.

8:41 - "I'm his son." "Yeah, good point." 
8:42 - Neal, you've got magic! Aww! 
8:43 - "So, what's in there?" "Let's find out." Snow and Regina bickering! And, yes, Regina has all the right lines tonight!

8:53 - "Then nothing's changed." "So, is that your answer?" "That's my answer." 
8:54 - A doll? I'm guess it was Baefire's.  Come on, work! 
8:55 - Mulan knows it all, doesn't she? "Emma's in Neverland." Good to know. 
8:56 - I love the word believe. Hook is too fucking hot! "A villain, a hero, a pirate." 
8:57 - And they didn't look up into the sky. Nice going guys! 
8:58 - That was Peter Pan the WHOLE TIME?! I-I was correct in the beginning! "The heart of the truest believer." Again with the title being someone important!
