‘Once Upon a Time’ season 4 spoilers: Some Elsa-specific flashbacks

For those wondering how in the world Queen Elsa got to know Rumpelstiltskin on “Once Upon a Time,” have no fear: The show will explain everything in a way that they often do.

According to a report from Entertainment Weekly, the series is once again going to make great use of the flashback, this time to give you further insight on how these two characters met, and hopefully what in the world Rumple was doing in Arendelle in the first place. You can take this as a sure-fire sign that the show is going to give you their own take on this world, though just how much you get to see of it is unclear.

As you know already, the show is taking a pretty careful strategy when it comes to how they present this world in particular on the show, largely since they don’t want to ruin the reputation of any of the major characters for future “Frozen” films. They’re not going to send Elsa on a journey for true love, or suddenly make Kristoff anywhere near as evil as Prince Hans. This story will last for 11 episodes, and then at this point it will seemingly flutter off in the wind and make way for something new. The contents of the second half of this season, though, are still very much under wraps.

In the end, the date you should really keep track of is Sunday, September 28. That is when some of these big answers will start to come our way.
