'Once Upon a Time' Season 7 Episode 4 Spoilers: Gold Meets Alice

Alice (Rose Reynolds) will come out to play in the upcoming episode of "Once Upon a Time."

In the episode titled "Beauty," the promo shows a mischievous Alice on the prowl during All Hollow's Eve. She is shown playing around the streets of Hyperion Heights, wearing masks and troubling its citizens. Alice is particularly interested in shadowing Gold (Robert Carlyle). He keeps on seeing her following him, and he does not know why. Later on, when Alice has him at gunpoint, he asks her what is her problem with him. Alice surprises Gold when she says Rumplestinskin has ordered her to do it.

It is also revealed that Alice's one goal in life is to devastate one epic love story, Gold and Belle's (Emilie de Ravin). In the clip, a memory of the couple is shown when all was all right between them. It remains to be seen why Alice is so invested in destroying Gold and Belle's love.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Reynolds said that her character is an enigma. According to her, Alice is someone who befriends everybody, but her motives are unclear.

Alice is generally described as a streetwise orphan who has got her eyes all over Hyperion Heights. Reynolds said that what Alice wants above all is to find herself in the world. Just like any young person, she wants to belong somewhere; Alice wants a family to call her own.

"It's: Where am I and where do I belong? Which I think is such a universal idea that young people, and even old people or middling people, often find. Where do I belong? Where am I now and where am I going and all of this stuff? And it's scary. For Alice, in particular, it is that sense of who am I, where am I going, and who can I trust? So I think that's what she wants, she wants someone she can trust, she wants to be a part of something, which is really poignant actually and it's quite moving to play with," Reynolds said.

"Once Upon a Time" season 7 airs Fridays at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
