Once Upon a Time has Frozen over, but things weren't all icy when we returned to Storybrooke in the Season 4 premiere, "A Tale of Two Sisters." In fact, one Rumpelstiltskin and Belle scene almost had me tearing up from all the Beauty and the Beast nostalgia.
However, any happiness was offset by Regina back in Evil Queen mode (with her newly returned mirror sidekick Sidney Glass), Emma's resistance to Hook's advances, and well ... all of the frozen fractals Elsa dragged all over town. But before we could get into the action, we had to start with a time jump, of course.
In the episode's opening scene, we get the backstory of Elsa and Anna’s parents' death thatFrozen never gave us. Maybe it was the film's G-rating that prevented animators from showing the former king and queen of Arendelle dying on a boat, Titanic-style, but the episode kicked off with their mom quickly scrawling a note with “the truth” about Elsa to send back home in a bottle.
Spoiler alert: it never made it home, because when we flash forward five years later, Anna and Elsa are just as confused about their parents' death as ever.
