'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland' Season 1 Episode 9 Spoilers: Introduction of Jabberwocky in 'Nothing to Fear'
After a long winter hiatus, "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" will finally return to ABC with an all-new episode on Thursday, March 6, featuring the introduction of the ABC series' version of the Jabberwocky.
As fans may recall, the series left off back in December when Alice and Cyrus found happiness and she wished him free of the bottle. In turn, the Knave became the new Genie of the Bottle. As this was unfolding, Jafar attacked the Red Queen and the band. Furthermore, the bottle was swept away and the remaining characters agreed to work together to find him.
In the upcoming episode, "Nothing to Fear," the Knave will be forced to use his newfound powers as a genie, leading to dire consequences. Viewers will also get to meet the Jabberwocky, a mythical creation from the original Louis Carroll story, played by "Aussie" actress Peta Sergeant, reports TVLine.
From the looks of promotional photos of the upcoming episode, the storyline will revolve around Knave and the Lizard, who appear to get really close. It's possible that the Lizard may be using her wishes to make the Knave her boyfriend, notes Gossip and Gab. In one picture, the Lizard is dressed in an elegant gown. She is also talking and wrestling with the new genie, Will, in other photos.
Jafar and the Jaberwocky will also be a central part of the plot as it looks like he keeps the Jaberwocky in a cage, or the Red Queen used to keep her there.
Other newly released photos shows that The Knave, who is now confined to a genie lamp, receives his first visitor and his first wish grantee. Lizard, a collector for the Caterpillar, also makes a few appearances as a much different person, reports Hypable.com.
ABC released a synopsis for "Nothing to Fear" that states: "The Knave is released from the bottle by Lizard and she is given the opportunity to make her dreams come true with three wishes. Cyrus, and a reluctant Alice, partner with the Red Queen to find and rescue the Knave, while the Red Queen is captured by peasants who want payback for her cruel reign. Meanwhile, Jafar has taken over the Red Queen's castle and learns of a fearful creature called the Jabberwocky who he plans to ally himself with."
"Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" S1E9, "Nothing to Fear," airs on Thursday, March 6 at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
