Once Upon a Time is off tonight, November 20, due to the American Music Awards. Check out our preview of what to expect when the show returns!
Unfortunately, Once Upon a Time fans will have to wait until November 27 for a brand new episode! The American Music Awards are invading ABC tonight and thus, Once Upon a Time season 6, episode 9, “Changelings,” will air on Sunday, November 27.
What can we expect to see from our Storybrooke heroes when the show returns? Let’s break down the preview and images for the episode!
If you recall, in Once Upon a Time season 6, episode 8, Rumpel set a diabolical plot in motion — he wants Zelena dead and he wants the Evil Queen to carry it out. Show of hands, who is shocked by this revelation? Anyone?
Of course he wants her dead! She took away a small piece of what he treasures most, his power. In other Rumple news, he and Belle look like they are finally going to reach a breaking point in there relationship. In a flashback, Rumpel shows how great he is at stealing children by kidnapping Jack and Jill’s son.
His plan for his soon-to-be-born son is even worse than a lure for power. As Belle rallies the gang to help her prevent Rumpel from taking her son, Belle is forced to make a sacrifice.
Adam Horowitz and Eddie Kitsis bite their tongues during early press junkets for the series when it comes Rumple and Belle. They overemphasize how much love exists between these two to the point where it is unbelievable. It’s almost like they know that they are going to push these two back together at some point.
Horowitz frequently takes to Twitter to share script teases from upcoming episodes. In the teaser for “Changelings,” he chose to share a scene with a descriptor that should color our reading of the exchange between Belle and Rumpel.

The fact that he had to share something that explicitly says, “This isn’t threatening,” screams to me that the writers have written themselves into a corner with this relationship and they are desperately trying to work their way out of it.
Elsewhere, expect to see Aladdin and Jasmine make use of that empty lamp!
Until next week, I leave you with a few of my favorite things — Hook, books, and coffee!
Once Upon a Time season 6, episode 9, “Changelings,” returns to ABC Sunday, November 27 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
