This weekend's "Once Upon a Time" episode will highlight Jasmine's (Karen Shenaz David) on-going search for Aladdin (Deniz Akdeniz). The Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla) will force Emma (Jennifer Morrison) to reveal her secret and Robin Hood (Sean Maguire) will get his much-deserved closure after his sudden and tragic death in "Once Upon a Time" Season 5.
Jasmine is determined to find her other half in the promo for the upcoming "Once Upon a Time" episode titled "Street Rats," but she's also not quick to hand out information to Emma or any of the people in Storybrooke and it's for good reason. Jasmine fears that she will be in danger if she discloses anything of importance to anyone, thus the mistrust.
Emma, on the other hand, will use her "superpower" (her ability to tell if a person is lying) while interrogating Jasmine in episode five of "Once Upon a Time." Emma suspects that Jasmine is responsible for some strange goings-on in the town.
Flashbacks on "Once Upon a Time" episode five will showcase Jasmine and Aladdin attempting to bring down Jafar (Oded Fehr) by recovering a secret weapon from the Cave of Wonders. The Jafar role was previously portrayed by "Lost" alum Naveen Andrews on "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" but was recast due to scheduling conflicts, CarterMatt noted.
The Evil Queen is hoping to "forge a wedge" between Emma and her loved ones by forcing her to reveal her secret, TV.com reported. Emma is still mum about a vision that revealed her impending death, which is a curse that every Savior is burdened with.
Emma has kept her secret even from her significant other Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) and son Henry (Jared S. Gilmore). "Once Upon a Time" co-creator Adam Horowitz said Emma's lie is coming from "what is a good place in her mind" but of course, Hook will not see it that way when he finally learns about her bleak fate, TVLine reported.
Robin Hood (Sean Maguire) will get his much-deserved closure in "Once Upon a Time" by appearing in multiple episodes this season. He laid down his life to save Regina in Season 5 and Maguire is optimistic that the "Once Upon a Time" writers will "give the audience a happy ending." Robin's return will not be in the form of flashbacks, according to Entertainment Weekly.
"Once Upon a Time" episode five airs on Sunday, Oct 23 at 8:00 PM on ABC. Watch the promos for "Street Rats" below.
