Elsa, the Snow Queen, and Maleficent: Season 4 Predictions for Once Upon A Time

By Zach Van Norman

During the season three finale on Once Upon A Time, we were treated to the surprise reveal that Queen Elsa of Arendelle had arrived in Storybrooke. As the summer progressed we were treated to casting news for not only Elsa, but other Frozen favorites like Anna, Kristoff, Hans, and even Sven the reindeer. (Olaf, sadly, will not be appearing.) The popularity of Frozen created a sense of tunnel vision among the fans, even myself, with little question of where the storyline would go after this new story wrapped up. But with the recent announcement that Kristin Bauer van Straten is returning to Once for what is being termed a “major arc,” the second half of the season has suddenly become clear. Despite the chilly beginning, season 4’s plot will quickly heat up as it progresses. Here are my predictions for what will happen this year on Once Upon A Time:

The Snow Queen - a Once Upon A Time fan theory

The third episode of ABC's Once Upon A Time, titled "Rocky Road," introduced us to Elizabeth Mitchell's character the Snow Queen. While everyone expected her to interact with Elsa in both the past and present, what few were expecting was a history with the Storybrooke Savior, Emma Swan. Nothing more has been revealed of their past thus far, so we have little information with which to base theories on how they know each other. However, despite the lack of information, I believe we can take a leap of faith and use conjecture to find the answer.

I think the Snow Queen is Miss Swan, Emma's first foster mother. Allow me to explain why:

I Saw a homeless man today...

I saw a homeless man today, digging through the trash.
I saw a homeless man today; he'd clearly finished last.

I saw the lines in his face, the aging of his skin.
I saw the veins in his hands, the bruises on his shin.
I saw the defeat in his face, the absence of his hope.
I saw the homeless man and wondered: how does he even cope?

I saw a homeless man today and wondered about his life:
Had he ever had a boyfriend?
What had happened to his wife?
What was his favorite color?
Did he have a favorite food?
What about his favorite flower, or the song of his favorite mood?

Had he laughed as a child?
Had he chased around some hens?
Did he get into some trouble?
Did he run the streets with friends?
Had he celebrated holidays, gone on trips with Mom and Dad?
Did he ever sneak home a pet? Did his parents get so mad?

I saw a homeless man today and I realized what I have:
A place to live, food to eat, and someone who makes me glad.
I take these things for granted, never knowing when it could end.
I take these things for granted, never expecting the loss of friends.

I Saw a homeless man today.
He changed my point of view.
I Saw a homeless man today.
And now I ask: did you?
