‘Once Upon a Time’ season 2 spoilers: Raphael Sbarge tees up fall finale

The final 2012 episode of “Once Upon a Time” is coming up on Sunday, and based on everything that we are hearing and seeing at the moment, it looks to be a rather big one. There will be plenty of action, surprises, and of course a massive cliffhanger that keeps everyone guessing until the show returns to television in the new year.

But just what sort of cliffhanger are we looking at here? At least for the time being, it sounds almost akin to magic entering Storybrooke at the end of season 1, at least when it comes to how widespread the impact of the magic is. After all, here is what Raphael Sbarge recently told Entertainment Weekly on the subject of just what is coming:

“There’s a very big event that occurs in Storybrooke with the characters we know, and it’s sort of a quite a dramatic event … It affects [Archie] directly.”

Do you want more evidence that Archie finally has a greater role to play? The only reasonable guess at the moment is that Captain Hook and Cora are finding their way into the town along with Emma and Mary Margaret, but there is still one logical issue with saying this is the only surprise: we don’t know if Archie has ever communicated with either one of them before. At the moment, they could just be any other person that he would meet on the street.

Do you have any guesses just yet as to what sort of cliffhanger we are looking at?
