That’s right, Once Upon a Time showrunners Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis were at the show’s Paleyfest panel on Sunday afternoon and promised a couple of answers by the end of the current season. They even said which questions would be answered! That could be considered spoilery, though, so here’s a buffer paragraph to shield the tender eyes of spoilerphobes.

Besides Kitsis and Horowitz, in attendance for the panel were executive producer Steve Pearlman, and cast members Jennifer Morrison, Josh Dallas, Ginnifer Goodwin, Lana Parilla, Robert Carlyle and Raphael Sbarge.

Okay, ready for those questions? Per THR, the showrunners have promised that, by the end of Season 1, the current season, the one that we’re watching right now and will end in May, we will know….

1. Exactly why mysterious typewriter-toting stranger August (Eion Bailey) has come to Storybrooke and his motivation; and

2. Exactly what Snow White did to get  the Evil Queen so very unhappy with her in the first place. Ooo!

And one more nice little spoiler, this one about Season 2: we will  meet Ariel, aka The Little Mermaid. Fun!

Once Upon a Time, starring Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Josh Dallas, airs Sundays at 8/7c on ABC.
