What did you think about Once Upon a Time‘s first episode of 2013?! Discuss “The Cricket Game” here, and watch the promo for next week’s “The Outsider.”

While Emma and Mary Margaret’s homecoming was certainly wonderful and had been anticipated by fans for a long time, no one got to enjoy it for very long. With Hook and Cora in Storybrooke, things are getting real – and if the characters thought Regina was bad, they have no idea what’s waiting for them!

Next week, Once Upon a Time is back with “The Outsider,” which seems like it’ll be Belle-centric. Watch the promo:

The episode description reads:

Mr. Gold finds an unwilling test subject to see if a spell he has concocted will allow him to cross the border of Storybrooke – without losing his memory – and go in search of his son, Bae; Belle stumbles upon a vengeful Hook in the Storybrooke harbor whose main goal is to eradicate Rumplestiltskin; and Mary Margaret and David go house hunting in search of a bigger place to live. Meanwhile, in the fairytale land that was, Belle meets Mulan as the two set out to slay a fearsome beast called the Yaoguai, who has been ravaging the land.

We can’t wait to see what Belle and Mulan get up to together in fairytale land!
