The official synopsis of the finale episode reads as follows:

The Author proves to be a formidable wild card and forges an alliance with Gold. Emma, her parents, Hook and Regina scramble to stop them, but when Gold and the Author turn the tables on heroes and villains alike, the prospect of any happy outcome appears worlds away. Henry discovers he has big shoes to fill as he steps up to save his family before the story's final page is turned. It's a race to the finish, and everything culminates with a shocking twist that will leave the residents of Storybrooke reeling, in the captivating two-part season finale of Once Upon a Time.

The episode will pick up with the Author putting the final touches on heroes and villains, the new storybook a dying Rumplestiltskin has "commissioned".

And although the newly spun story steers familiar characters such as Snow White, Prince Charming, the Evil Queen and even Emma onto strange new paths, the heroes become villains and vice versa.
