Season finale of ‘Once Upon a Time’ wraps up storylines Cover Story this
By Mary Fournier TV MediaThe finale is here, and the season’s biggest battle comes to a head in the two-part season 6 finale of “Once Upon a Time,” airing Sunday, May 14, on ABC. The show that brings beloved fairy-tale characters to life is set to wrap up the season in a big way.
“O.U.A.T.” has shown us the lives of some of our favorite fairytale characters, including Ariel, Mulan and Jasmine, in stories that differ greatly from the versions we know and love. This season has been a roller-coaster ride for the citizens of Storybrooke. From love to loss, happiness to sadness, everyone is dealing with something, but nothing can prepare them for what’s coming.
At the start of the current season, Emma (Jennifer Morrison, “House”) began having visions and tremors — premonitions of her impending death. In a recurring vision, she fights with a cloaked figure who steals her sword and murders her. Central to the majority of the season is Emma’s fear of her fate and, along with her friends and family, she tries to figure out who this mysterious hooded person is, and why he or she wants to kill her.
Emma didn’t have to look far, as Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle, “Trainspotting,” 1996) and Belle’s (Emilie de Ravin, “Lost”) son Gideon (Giles Matthey, “The Duel,” 2016), has now been revealed as the one who wants to kill her. A complex storyline sees the baby aducted by the nefarious Black Fairy (Jaime Murray, “Defiance”), who also happens to be Rumple’s mother. When Gideon returns fullgrown, thanks to some tricks of time, it’s discovered that Emma factors into his plan to kill his abductor, the Black Fairy.
While Emma’s battle with Gideon takes some unexpected twists and turns, the sudden arrival of the Black Fairy signals the beginning of the real, climactic final battle. And that’s where we find ourselves as the much-anticipated two-part finale premieres.
Season 6 is an end in more ways than one, as show creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz — who have both also written episodes of “Lost,” among other successful series — said the season marks the end of the main storyline that has been the central focus of the
entire series, regardless of whether the show is renewed for a seventh season. As Henry (Jared S. Gilmore, “Mad Men”) finishes the last chapter of the book, some of the show’s major storylines wrap up, and some characters prepare to depart the series.
Josh Dallas (“Thor,” 2011), who plays Prince Charming and Emma’s father, told Entertainment Weekly that the finale is “all about the final battle, the final battle that Emma is clearly involved with, and it’s life or death.”
Morrison expressed the same sentiments, saying: “They’re realizing that they’re at the end of the book. They’re like, ‘What does that mean, the end of the book? Does the end of the book mean a happy ending? Does the end of the book mean she dies?’”
Whatever happens, Emma has her loved ones by her side, including Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin, “He’s Just Not That Into You,” 2009), her mother; Regina (Lana Parrilla, “Miami Medical”), her one-time enemy turned friend; Henry, her son; and Captain Hook (Colin O’Donoghue, “The Rite,” 2011), her fiancé.
Whether the show follows a typical fairy-tale ending or not, a seventh season should point the series in a new direction. ABC entertainment president Channing Dungey told EW that season 7 could offer “a springboard to a new narrative standpoint. ... [That] doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re not bringing the cast back, it’s just: How do you kind of hit the reset button?”
Morrison, Parrilla, O’Donoghue and Carlyle are currently in negoti-
ations for a new season, but nothing is confirmed. While on “The Drop-In With Will Malnati,” Morrison said: “We’re just kind of waiting now to see if the network decides to continue with the show — and if they do continue with the show, if they are going to rework it to be something else, or if they’re going to invite people to stay. It’s really complicated.”
Though the finale is so close, there are still multiple questions that need to be answered, and stories that must be wrapped up — it could be tough to tie everything up if this does happen to be the final season. Rest assured though, Dungey says: “If and when we decide to end it, we want to do it the right way, and really give the fans the ending they deserve.”
“O.U.A.T” was a hit when it first aired in 2011, earning the best ratings out of any new show that premiered that season. Ratings for the show have been on a bit of a decline, however, with comments from fans and critics alike insisting the show should end due to repetitive storylines and character plots that already seem to be finished. Despite this, the show still maintains a steady viewership.
Don’t miss the big, two-part season finale of “Once Upon a Time” when it airs Sunday, May 14, on ABC.

By Andrew Warren TV MediaFarmers’ markets are popping up everywhere these days, and with good reason: They’re a fantastic way to get the freshest possible ingredients, not to mention that meeting the people who’ve actually grown and raised the foods just makes produce seem that much tastier in the end. Plus, they’re just a great way to get outdoors and spend a morning in a thriving, friendly atmosphere.
The pros love farmers’ markets, too, and Cooking Channel has put
together a fun little competition to find out which chefs can best honor the local ingredients that are unique to every market. “Farmers’ Market Flip” premiered last month, and currently airs Thursday evenings on the culinary channel.
In each episode, the youthful chef Jeff Mahin swings by a different farmers’ market, where he meets up with two teams of culinary professionals to see which, over the course of a day, can best please the market’s discerning patrons.
In this week’s episode, airing Thursday, May 18, Mahin is in Channel Islands, California, where he meets up with chefs Michele Ragussis and Penny Davidi, who are eager to challenge chefs Ben Diaz and Hugo Miranda. First up is the Flavor of the Market challenge, where the chefs take the market’s signature local product and transform it into something entirely new — and sinfully delicious.
In Channel Islands, that local favorite is strawberries: specifically, strawberry shortcake and funnel cake. After transforming the sweets into exciting new dishes, the chefs move on to the Feed the Market challenge.
The stakes are much higher here. After a 20-minute shopping spree, the teams each put together a pop-up kitchen, where they have an hour to prepare dishes that hungry shoppers get to enjoy — and judge.
For the chefs competing in the seaside Channel Islands, it’s no surprise that the full bounty of the sea is available right on the very docks that the local fishers use. Their dishes have to highlight this oh-sofresh seafood and wow the locals, with the team that pleases the most palates winning a $5,000 check.
Catch the new episode of “Farmers’ Market Flip,” airing Thursday, May 18, on Cooking Channel.

According to a new survey that just came out, 44 percent of people would rather take a longer flight that costs more than fly United Airlines. When they heard this, American Airlines said: “Done and Scientists are now claiming that every hour spent running increases your lifespan by seven hours. In other words, a
majority of Americans died three years ago.

Well you guys, today was the deadline to file your taxes. I guess Trump got some good news this year: he got to write off the first 100 days of his presidency as a total loss.
Trump just gave an interview where he appeared to confuse Kim Jong Un with his father, Kim Jong Il. It got worse when
Trump was like, “Which one’s married to Kanye?” That’s a different Kim all together.
Chelsea Clinton recently said that when her mom travelled, she would leave her a note for every day she was gone. Though every day the note just read, “Keep an eye on your father.”
I read about a new reality dating show, where people swap phones before meeting each other. The way it works is, the person who gets a better phone never comes back.

A high school boy in Georgia got the local police to help him stage a drug bust in order to ask a girl to prom. The cops questioned both of them about a fake bag of marijuana, then eventually gave the girl a note with a request to go to prom. The police say they loved helping the two with the prom-posal, and look forward to seeing them together on prom night when they arrest them for underage drinking.
