‘Once Upon a Time’ season 5 spoilers: First look at big Merida – Mulan – Ruby episode!

You’ve been hearing for weeks now that “Once Upon a Time” is not only bringing back two beloved characters in Mulan and Ruby, but that they would be putting them on an adventure of sorts. Through this, maybe we are going to get a chance to finally see the LGBT romance that the show has been hinting on for some time. It’s not confirmed, but it feels like the characters above are at the moment the most-likely ones to get together.

You are going to get a chance to ultimately see the story of these two play out during “The Bear King” Sunday night, and ABC released the synopsis below with some more details:

“Zelena and Arthur journey to DunBroch on a mission to retrieve an enchanted relic that will provide the advantage they need to vanquish Emma and our heroes. Their path will cross with Merida’s, who is on a journey of her own to pay a debt that her father, King Fergus, owed to the Witch when he died. Merida enlists the help of two friends, Mulan and Ruby, but, in order to satisfy the Witch and save DunBroch, she first must discover the identity of the knight who killed her father. In flashbacks, Merida learns about bravery and honor as she trains for combat and rides alongside Fergus into the infamous battle that claims his life.”

What’s interesting is that it seems as though both Jamie Chung and Meghan Ory’s characters have a preexisting history with Merida based on this synopsis, and it also seems like many of the other characters may take somewhat of a backseat. We’re mostly fine with that, so long as everything ties together eventually.
