'Once Upon A Time' season 6 episode 9 spoilers: Belle's pregnancy sped up? Evil Queen's next shocking kill to be featured
After a two-week break, "Once Upon A Time" season 6 will finally be back this week with a game-changer of an episode titled "Changelings," which will also serve as the season's winter finale.
By the end of the installment, nothing will be the same between Belle (Emilie de Ravin) and Rumple (Robert Carlyle), who appears to have cooked up a heinous plan for their unborn child.
The promo for "Once Upon A Time" season 6 episode 9, teases that Rumple might be speeding up Belle's pregnancy. She can be seen squealing in pain and disbelief as her baby bump appears to become larger by the second.
It is unclear if Rumple has something to do with it, but the promo teases that he has gone overboard and may have reached the point of no return.
In a glimpse of the script for "Once Upon A Time" season 6 episode 9 shared by executive producer Adam Horowitz, Belle attempts to convince Gold (Carlyle) to be a good man, but he insists this is no longer possible.

In an interview with TV Line, the EP also teased what the winter finale entails for the characters. "The audience doesn't know where we're headed with Belle and Rumple, but no matter how dark things get, the show doesn't go bleak. It's still about hope, and it's always darkest before the dawn," he said.
For the crisis at hand, Belle will get the help of Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) and Emma (Jennifer Morrison) in the upcoming episode to retrieve squid ink that can immobilize him before he goes on a rampage.
The synopsis teases that "Belle is left to make a sacrifice that will affect the lives of everyone in Storybrooke." What that is remains to be seen, although fans speculate that she will kill Rumple, allowing her to be the new Dark One.
As for his dealings in the past, the next episode will show Rumple using Jack (Nick Hunnings) and Jill's (Tammy Gillis) son as bait to lure a "powerful being" to him.
This powerful being is believed to be the Black Fairy (Jaime Murray). Meanwhile, the episode will also see Gold push the Evil Queen (Lana Parilla) into killing her sister, Zelena (Rebecca Mader).
"Once Upon a Time" season 6 episode 9, "Changelings," airs on Sunday, Nov. 27, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
