TV Guide Magazine: When did you get the great news that you’d be coming back to House?
Jennifer Morrison: It was so funny — the day we did the Once Upon a Time Paley Festival. I had told everyone I hadn’t been contacted, and it just seemed too late for it to be possible. I think as those words were coming out of my mouth [executive producer] David Shore was leaving me a phone message. When I got out of the festival I saw that he had called and thought, ‘No way!’ He didn’t say on the message what he was calling for, but I hoped that was it because I really had been hoping that was something they would want me to do. House was such a special part of my life.

TV Guide Magazine: So then what happened?
Morrison: When I did get to speak with David he said, ‘We’re thinking about doing this for the series finale. Would that be something you’d be interested in?’ And I said, ‘Yes, absolutely!’ I was really honored and excited and ultimately really happy with how they had Cameron being present at the end of things.

TV Guide Magazine: The end of things. Rumor has it that people return for Wilson’s funeral.
Morrison: I, of course, can’t say anything.

TV Guide Magazine: Of course. Well, tell me who you got to hug and play with.
Morrison: It was just amazing. I spent most of my morning standing at the doorstep to my trailer with all the crew coming by for hugs and telling me they watch Once Upon a Time with their whole families. That was really nice. There was this beautiful moment for me during my wardrobe fitting. I’d been running around for a whole year as edgy Emma in my boots and leather jacket, so seeing Cameron’s little vest and shirts felt like visiting an old friend. And David Shore was directing, which was perfect. And of course seeing Hugh [Laurie] again, it was like no time had passed.

TV Guide Magazine: Does Dr. House give Cameron one last zinger?
Morrison: There’s definitely some banter between them, but it reveals the place Cameron holds in House’s mind. You see what she means to him, which is really nice.

TV Guide Magazine: Hugh also produced the hour retrospective that airs before the finale. Did you shoot anything for that?
Morrison: Hugh and I take a little tour of how things have changed in the hospital. I couldn’t help noticing that Emma’s office on Once Upon a Time is a glass office with a metal desk, just like House’s office. So insane! I’m going to talk to the Once props department to see if we can borrow a few of the items on House’s desk.

TV Guide Magazine: When Dr. Cameron comes back, will we be surprised by what’s happened to her?
Morrison: Kind of. But I don’t know what actually made it into the final cut. In the script, you did see where her life has gone. Some people will be surprised by it and others will see that it’s the obvious thing. I’m happy with the decision. It felt like a very well thought out place to show her in her life.

TV Guide Magazine: Speculation (and hope) online is that Cameron will reunite with Chase.
Morrison: I can say that we do interact in the episode.

TV Guide Magazine: Would you like to see a reunion for them or has too much time passed?
Morrison: That’s a really tough question. David has kept his characters very human. The reality is, in real life we’re very unpredictable and moments cause us to make decisions you would never expect. All I can really say is that holds true in the finale with all of the characters and relationships. I do feel like I’m in a dream!

TV Guide Magazine: Well, all your dreams are coming true. I half expected you to turn up as Barney’s bride on How I Met Your Mother.
Morrison: What happened? Wait, I’m behind a few episodes. Don’t give it away!

The series finale of House airs May 21 at 8/7c on Fox.

Needless to say, her doubt can only stand for so long. “There’s definitely a drastic difference between the beginning of the season and where it ends,” Morrison says. “People can count on there being a serious amount of growth for Emma.”

A recent promo — in which Emma and the town appear to rebel against Regina (Lana Parrilla) — seems to indicate that Emma has finally gotten the hint. However, Morrison remains mum on whether the scene is real or a dream sequence. (We hope for the former!) “What we’re seeing now is whether or not Emma is really going to accept her role as the savior,” she says. “It’s do-or-die at this point. The stakes are so high as we go through these last few episodes.”

For now, though, Emma appears to be on her way out of town, with Henry (Jared Gilmore) in tow. But she won’t get very far. “[Henry] actually takes the wheel while she’s driving and causes them to crash so they can’t leave town, which obviously really freaks her out,” Morrison says. “She’s like, ‘My God, you’re actually willing to die over this! You’re 10 years old — how can you be thinking this way?’ Obviously, that’s a big eye-opener for Emma. If this child is that extreme about it, she obviously needs to take a step back and figure out the best way to make sure she keeps him safe and does the best thing for him.”

Morrison says that the cliff-hanger will leave fans wondering what the show will even be like next season. “It’s so massive and so game-changing,” she says. “I mean that in the best way. I read the season finale and went, ‘Oh my God! What is going to happen?!’” While Morrison notes that the core characters and brand of storytelling will remain intact, “thematically, there is going to be such a drastic shift that it will be a whole new adventure” in Season 2.

Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8/7c on ABC.
