‘Once Upon a Time’ season 2, episode 17 preview: Sheriff Graham’s back in action

While there are always plenty of reasons to be excited about new “Once Upon a Time” episodes, Sunday night’s edition in particular may be providing more motivation than usual to be amped up. Why? Not only are we flashing back to see the early days of Storybrooke, but we are also getting a chance to witness the return of someone in Sheriff Graham (Jamie Dorman) who has been dead in real time since the midway point of the show’s first season.

So what is going on in this season? From the get-go, it is pretty apparent that Regina is more than excited to have her hook-up partner back and in a position that Emma Swan is not even around, let alone in a place where she can mess up everything. However, there is something that is keeping the Evil Queen from being as excited as she would otherwise be: the presence of a pair of people in town looking for a hotel room. Who in the world are they? She really does not have any idea, and neither does Graham.

Of course, this story throws a major kink into the show’s mythology if these two are really stranger sin town, especially since supposedly no one had visited Storybrooke prior to the arrival of Emma later on at the hands of Henry. This is still more than twenty years before Jennifer Morrison’s character visits, and with that in mind there are plenty of reasons to have question marks.

Who do you think that these people are, and just how excited are you to see Sheriff Graham back in action? If you want to check out some early scoop on the season 2 finale, you can do so over at the link here.
