Once Upon a Time there was an unhappy girl who lost her father and was forced to live with her evil-stepmother and two evil step-sisters until a missing glass slipper set her free.
This Sunday's episode of Once will introduce Cinderella (Falling Skies' Jessy Schram).

After running out at the stroke of midnight, the prince searched for her with the help of a glass slipper and the pair lived happily ever after.

ABC's Once Upon a Time is about to take the fairytale characters out of the world of make believe and bring them into reality.
In the series, (premiering Sunday at 8/7c on ABC), the Evil Queen banishes Snow White, Prince Charming and their fairytale kin to the real-world town of Storybrooke, where they lead normal lives, never realizing who they were.

Stop us if you've heard this one before. Aliens have landed on Earth and they have not come in peace. While most of the world's population has been killed, a ragtag group of survivors stage a resistance.
