You may not be strong enough, but maybe we are.

Reminder: don’t forget to tune in to ABC channel tonight at 8/7c. The season two finale, ‘And Straight on Till Morning’, is premiering. Let’s boost those ratings! Watch live and encourage your friends to do the same!

The inhabitants of Storybrooke brace themselves for the end when Greg and Tamara detonate the trigger Regina had placed within the curse, with the annihilation of the town and its residents imminent; and Mr. Gold mourns the loss of his son, Bae/Neal. Meanwhile, back in Neverland of the past, Hook discovers his connection to a young Bae after he rescues him from the sea and soon realizes that the Lost Boys are in hot pursuit of the boy, on the Season Finale of “Once Upon a Time,”.

TVGuide: Will Regina Sacrifice Herself to Save the Residents of Storybrooke?

It seems like Regina will be forced to team up with the Charmings in the finale. What does that partnership look like?
Lana Parrilla: It’s like her worst nightmare having to team up with the Charmings. She has to make decisions that are best for everyone because she falls under that category of her life being endangered as well. So, she’s going to have to team up with whomever to stop this trigger from being activated. We saw in the last episode where David (Josh Dallas) says to Regina while she’s lying in bed, “We are family.” I think that really hits a soft spot for her. It follows suit with the Evil Queen episode where we see her in fairy-tale land with Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) dressed as a peasant and she asks Snow, “If Regina could change, if she wanted to be a family again, would you take her back? Would you forgive her?” Snow says, “Yes, I’d love that. I’d like a feather bed too, but neither one is going to happen.” That’s ultimately what she really wants is a family, which is why she’s adopted Henry.

Is the possibility of having a family her motivation for possibly getting redemption?
Parrilla: Her family, Cora (Barbara Hershey) and her father, weren’t the most supportive and weren’t the best parents. I think this is an opportunity for redemption or a change. She’s going to do whatever it takes to save everyone.

Is she really doing it for everyone or is she, like most of the time, doing it for herself?
Parrilla: In this episode, I think it is genuine. I think she is doing it for everyone. Again, who knows what can happen next season. She was on the path to redemption for how many episodes this season and then again made another turn. But it’s always something that leads her there. It’s a choice, but something triggers that inside of her where she wants that revenge and she wants to get back and hurt someone. So, I find that at this point, she is responsible, she created this trigger, she made it, and it was a failsafe. I don’t think she ever thought she would have to use it. Look at where it was hidden for crying out loud. But now I think she does feel responsible and I feel like she needs to do something to stop Greg and Tamara from activating it.

Lana Parrilla is getting her own fairy-tale love story: The actress is now engaged to beau Fred Di Blasio.

The “Once Upon a Time” star, who plays Evil Queen / Mayor Regina Mills on the ABC fantasy series, was traveling in Israel last week with actors from ABC’s “Scandal” when Di Blasio, a software executive, popped the question in the Negev Desert on April 28, her rep confirmed to the Ministry. 

The couple prefers to keep details of the proposal private but are said to be thrilled about the engagement.

Give Me My Remote: Eddy and Adam Tease 2.21 and 2.22

What the heck is the “Home Office”?

With Greg and Tamara’s mission in Storybrooke much more complex than a simple personal vendetta, a location/person called the “Home Office” is brought up. So what the heck is going on with that?

“You will find out this season,” Kitsis teased. “You will find out in the finale, and hopefully it’s not what you think…You will get an answer with a question…you will find out who the home office is, you will find out what they want, but you won’t know why…Since we’ve all been trained with Initiatives [Kitsis and Horowitz worked on LOST, which had the Dharma Initiative], we’re hoping to lead you down a different path.”

And yes, Greg and Tamara will play a big role in the audience discovering these truths…but whether they survive the season is TBD.

“Tamara and Greg will be wrapped up in this,” Horowitz said. “They’re here for a mission, and whether or not they succeed in that mission will be in the finale…By the end of this season, you’ll know a lot more about what Greg and Tamara are trying to achieve, who they are working for, and what that means for everyone in Storybrooke.”

But since they’ve already manipulated Hook into helping work out their plot, could anyone else we know secretly be a part of their plot? “Anything is possible,” Kitsis noted.
