It's also worth noting that Jaime looks nothing like Kristin. The casting department is usually better than that. (Lily excluded.) Not to mention, it looks like this flashback takes place during Belle's time working for Rumple at the Dark Castle, based on those photos Bobby and Emilie posted. We've seen Mal in "Enter the Dragon", which took place years before that. Not to mention we also see Maleficent during this time period in "Heroes and Villains". Also true. So yeah, Mal as the Black Fairy died some time ago. (Which was probably a missed opportunity, but eh)

I doubt the Black Fairy will be anyone besides the Black Fairy, honestly. If she sticks around past this episode, she stays indoors; otherwise, someone would have spotted her at some point during the filming for the past several episodes. And Belle as a prisoner was really too close to the Dark Curse being cast for her to be playing a young form of an existing character.
