"Once Upon a Time" Season 5, episode 11 is the midseason finale of the show and the production is ready to bring the story up a notch with an army of former Dark Ones.
The upcoming episode of OUAT season 5, titled "Swan Song," will bring all the former Dark Ones together in Storybrooke. This is a part of Hook's (Colin O'Donoghue) plan of revenge against Emma (Jennifer Morrison).
In episode 8, viewers have seen how Emma turned Hook into another Dark One in the hopes of saving his life from death after being wounded by Excalibur. What transpired after, as episode 10 showed, was a more evil, vengeful Hook who set out to take revenge on Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold (Robert Carlyle), who was the cause of all his suffering.
It was Rumple who had killed Hook's beloved, who also happened to be Rumple's wife, and cut off his left hand. Mr. Gold, on the other hand, was able to win against Hook but instead of killing him, he let him go. Meanwhile by the end of episode 10, Hook summoned all the Dark Ones to Storybrooke. For what?
In "Once Upon a Time" season 5, episode 11, fans will find out that the summoning of the Dark One army is part of Hook's plan to exact his revenge on Emma. In the video preview, Hook is seen saying, "You need to watch everyone you love die." Here it becomes clear that Hook's main purpose for bringing the Dark Ones to Storybrooke is to kill Emma's family and friends.
Knowing the heroes, however, they will not go without a fight as shown in a clip where Robin Hood (Sean Maguire) sets his arrow to a Dark One. The army proves to be too powerful though, as Mr. Gold points out, "This is a fight we cannot win."
Although Emma still loves Hook, she will not allow anything to happen to her loved ones so even if it means killing Hook to end the great evil that has settled in Storybrooke, she will do it. With these many Dark Ones in one place, and one among them is dubbed as the greatest, what will happen to the heroes? Even if at the end of the episode the army would be defeated, surely something more evil will come about.
