‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3, episode 9 preview: ‘Save Henry,’ and can Peter Pan be stopped?

On tonight’s “Once Upon a Time” season 3 episode “Think Lovely Thoughts,” there were definitely plenty of big surprises. We begin here with what has to be the obvious “big one”: In a total Darth Vader move, Peter Pan is actually Rumpelstiltskin’s dad. Who would have saw that move coming? We certainly didn’t.

But now that Pan has trapped Robert Carlyle’s character and also taken the heart of the truest believer (i.e. Henry), you have to wonder just what in the world is going to come next. This brings us to the episode airing two weeks from tonight. Why the delay? Blame it on the American Music Awards, who are going to  air next week. This is annoying, but it’s really the closest that you are going to come to the show airing a full block of episodes in consecutive weeks.

The promo below shares a few other important details, including a suggestion that nothing is over yet when it comes to the Neverland story. Even if the characters are able to get off of the island and more forward back to Storybrooke, does that mean that they are going to be safe? Hardly. Not only do they have to save Henry, but they also have to stop Pan … who is now seemingly immortal and also more powerful than ever. We really don’t think that the promo makes a whole lot of sense at the moment, when it comes to at least actually teasing anything.

What we are honestly more interested in knowing at the moment is what is going to be happening beyond the end of the fall run. Will we go to a new world? We hope not, since it feels like we are in order for a full 11 episodes set in Storybrooke again. Plus, Belle will finally have a big role again!
