Meanwhile, the latest promo of the episode shows Emma telling Merida, "You'll find her [Belle]. Put an arrow through her heart. Your job is not finished yet." Following which, Rumple turns to Belle and tells her that Merida is coming after her.

The voiceover then says, "To save this one-true love, he must face his greatest fear." After that Belle heard shouting, "Rumple run."

Actress Amy Manson previewed Merida's hidden-agenda in an interview with TV Line. Merida is ordered by Emma to kill Belle, but Manson teases that, "Merida doesn't want to do it, and what ends up happening is a formation has arisen in her own mind of how she can avenge Emma and Emma's decision, how she can get her heart back, and if there's any way that she can pull Gold into helping her."

"That's what you find out this week, that even though she's under Emma's control, Emma doesn't exactly know what's going on when she's with Gold. She has a hidden agenda, for sure," the actress revealed.
