Once Upon a Time Bosses Break Down [Spoiler]'s Heroic Death/Aftermath, Tease Murderous New Mystery

As ABC’s Once Upon a Time kicked off its final run of 12 episodes on Friday night, one major character met a rather selfless end, while another, smaller death set in motion a dark new mystery.

Rapunzel’s was not the hour’s only death, however. Elsewhere in the episode, as the doctors struggled to diagnose Lucy and prepare to treat her, Jacinda and the lass’ “father,” Nick, gave blood to see if they were a match if need be. And so did Henry, after gazing at Lucy’s storybook and wondering if maybe the rugrat has been right all along. Lucy would be revived by the amulet, but nonetheless a nurse laid eyes on the rest results, which showed that Nick was not a match, while Henry was proven to be her father.

And then that nurse keeled over dead, poisoned by someone wearing black leather gloves!

“Someone, we will find out, is killing witches,” Kitsis says of the the mystery ahead, which somehow ties into the nurse’s poisoning. “So while Gothel is trying to assemble a coven, someone else is trying to knock them off, and that is what we’re going to be seeing for the next little bit.”

And yet, while the identity of the gloved perpetrator is a mystery, “It’s not the mystery,” says Once co-creator Adam Horowitz. “It gets revealed probably sooner than you expect. But it’s opening a new story avenue…. It becomes less an external mystery and starts to reflect back on our central people in a really direct way.” Adds Kitsis: “The coven story, the serial killer story and what Gothel wants all sort of intertwine.” (With reporting by Scott Huver)
