Bye SwanBug.
CaptainSwan got married last night and Emma Swan got her happy ending with family and friends, six seasons after the-son-she-gave-away Henry found her and brought her to Storybrooke to end a curse and save the town.

This morning Jennifer Morrison announced she is not returning to Once Upon a Time even if the show gets renewed for a seventh season.
From her Instagram this morning.
As I reached the end of my 6 year contract on ONCE UPON A TIME, I was faced with a significant decision. ABC, Eddy Kitsis, and Adam Horowitz very generously invited me to continue as a series regular. After very careful consideration, I have decided that creatively and personally, it is time for me to move on. Emma Swan is one my favorite characters that I have ever played. My 6 years on ONCE UPON A TIME has changed my life in the most beautiful ways. I am absolutely blown away by the passion and commitment of the Oncer fans. I am so honored to have been a central part of such a special show. I will be forever grateful to Adam, Eddy, and ABC for giving me the gift of playing Emma Swan. As I move on to other creative endeavors, I will continue to attend the fan conventions whenever my professional schedule allows. I always look forward meeting the fans. If ABC Network does in fact order a season 7, I have agreed to appear in one episode, and I will most certainly continue to watch ONCE UPON A TIME. The creativity of the show runners has always inspired me, and I cannot wait to see the ways that they continue to develop and reinvent the show.
Showrunners Adam Horowitz and Eddie Kitsis responded:
The past six years of collaborating with Jennifer as Emma Swan have been truly magical. Watching her breathe life into Emma, she accomplished more than we could have dreamed possible – she gave life to a brand-new Disney Princess, filled with strength and intelligence and an incredible closet full of red leather jackets.
Emma Swan will be back for at least one episode of season 7 if the show is renewed but Jennifer Morrison has moved on.
Her story has come full circle. Once Upon a Time filmed a long emotional goodbye between Emma and Henry at her yellow VW Bug parked outside Granny’s Diner for the season finale. She cries, kisses him on the forehead, pulls their heads together and then gets in her yellow VW Bug aka the Swanbug and drives down Main Street out of Storybrooke.
