'Once Upon a Time' Season 4 Spoilers: Hook Wants His Hand Back

"Once Upon a Time" Season 4 has a new set of fairy tale characters such as the Snow Queen added to the ones already on the show.

The fourth episode titled "The Apprentice" will see Hook and Emma's relationship developing and them going on a date, their first official one anyway.

Hook, played by Colin O'Donoghue, then feels the need to hold Emma with both his hands. This makes him strike a deal with Rumplestiltskin (aka Mr. Gold), played by Robert Carlyle, to get his hand reattached.

The episode synopsis states: "Magic always comes with a price." There is no doubt in anybody's mind that this deal with Rumplestiltskin will come with a hidden cost, and that Hook is eventually going to discover what he has to pay for getting his hand back.

Promo clips released for the episode show Hook negotiating for his hand, which is kept in a jar. He then turns up for his date holding a rose. He gives this to Emma who wears a yellow dress.

As for any unpleasant surprises that await Hook after he gets his hand back, Rumplestiltskin cannot be fully blamed because he has already warned Hook about them.

In the promo clip he is seen telling Hook that his hand was cut off at a time when he was still a cunning pirate. If reattached now, it could cause unwanted side effects. Hook of course does not believe him and threatens to reveal to Belle who Rumplestiltskin really is.

Hypable has more spoilers for the season. It reports that Maleficent (played by Kristin Bauer van Straten) and Princess Aurora (played by Sarah Bolger) will be returning in Season 4.

Maleficent is due to return in the middle of the season, while Aurora is returning in the seventh episode.

Hypable also notes that Sleeping Beauty is going be out of her royal finery and dressed in modern clothes.
