The Once Upon a Time gods smiled upon us and gave us a double dose of magic, as this week we were treated to not one, but two all-new episodes. In the second half of the "Shatter The Mirror" episode, we find out who trapped Elsa in the urn and exactly what the Snow Queen is planning on doing with that gigantic mirror of hers... and it's not just so she can look at herself all day.

During the episode, Elsa and Anna are still trying to finalize their plan to get the Snow Queen locked inside the urn. They have come up with an idea that Anna will be locked in a prison cell and, when Ingrid comes to check up on her, that she'll open the top and seal the Queen inside the jar.

However, things don't exactly go according to plan as Ingrid shows up inside Anna's dungeon cell and uses her magic to chain Anna in the prison. Clearly having heard both of the sisters devising the plan, she explains that she's going to use her magic and turn the sisters against each other.

While it doesn't seem possible for these two tight knit sisters to ever be turned against one another, Ingrid explains how she plans on doing it. She says she's using inspiration from her favorite book as a child called The Trolden Glass, where a king had a mirror created to magnify his daughter's beauty, but when she suddenly passes away the mirror ends up reflecting the ugliness and pain in the king. Wanting his whole kingdom to share in his sorrow, he casts the spell of shattered sight, which brings out the worse in all of the townspeople.

The Snow Queen's intensions become clear, and viewers realize that this is what she is doing with her giant mirror. She wants to cast the spell on the residents of Storybrooke and make them turn on one another.

She even tries the spell out on Anna while she is in the dungeon, shattering a small mirror and blowing the shards into the princess's eyes.

In Storybrooke the Snow Queen is actually trying to do some good and appears in a manifestation in front of Emma on the road as she's trying to make her way to give up her powers. She tries to warn Emma that Rumple is only using her in order for him to get something that he wants. Not wanting to listen to Ingrid, Emma swats away the hologram and goes on ahead to meet Mr. Gold.

While Emma continues her ride to give up her powers, Regina shows up to talk some sense into Mary Margaret and David about what their daughter is planning.

The two parents come to their senses and realize that they can't take away Emma's magic because it's what makes her special. Regina along with David, Mary Margaret and Henry go in search of Emma, but when Robin finds something in his quest to locate the author of the Once Upon a Time book, Regina bails to see what he has just uncovered.

During their time at the library, Robin and Will find a torn page, which looks like it should have been in the book but actually magically appeared in his satchel.

When Regina arrives at the library to talk to Robin, he shows her the torn page which shows Regina and Robin kissing in a pub back in the Enchanted Forest. When looking at the page number on the ripped out page they realize that there might be a second book that shows things that could have happened... things that are different from what actually took place.

Mr. Gold sets up his plan so that the magic hat will drain Emma's powers, but when Elsa shows up after following the locator spell and talks Emma off the ledge, it looks like Gold's plans are foiled. However, he does leave with a parting gift; Hook's heart, which he says he needs in order to complete his plan.

Viewers learn that the magic hat is the only way that Rumple will be freed of the power that the dagger how over him.

In a flashback, the spell of shattered sight takes full effect on Anna as all her deep-rooted aggressions against her sister become apparent, and she actually wants to trap her sister inside the urn. Ingrid wants Elsa to use her powers on her sister, but when Elsa proves that her love for her sister is too great, she lets herself be sucked into the urn instead of causing Anna any harm.

Ingrid becomes so upset that the love between the sisters has ruined her plan and she freezes both Anna and Kristoff. Rumpel show up to the scene looking for his magic hat but instead gets his hands on the urn. He tells Ingrid once she gives him the hat that she will get her urn back with Elsa inside.

Ingrid goes to the cave to try to give Rumpelstiltskin the magic hat but the Sorcerer tries to make a deal saying that, if she gives the hat to him, she will find her third sister. He opens a door for her... which leads to our world in 1982.

In the final scene of the episode, Ingrid magically attaches three yellow ribbons to her, Emma, and Elsa's wrists and harness all three of their powers in order to break the huge mirror and cast the spell of shattered sight.

The next all-new episode of once will air on Nov. 30 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
