No, they might, but I'm sure they'll just leave it at that. They wanted Snow and David to look worse to go with the whole "heroes vs villains" thing. As a resident cynic, I say if you look beyond face value, you can see many flaws in the plot, lol.

Review:

1) We did some thing horrible (that we never gave any mention or hint to before) 2) We heard from Maleficent about our baby (even though we go to Rumple for the same thing)

3) We have purest of pure hearts (even though this would make it dark)

4) We need our daughter to be pure (because we expect to be bad parents?)

5) We need to remove her potential for darkness (which doesn't make sense, but magic!)

6) Now we fear that they'll turn Emma dark (even though we made sure that won't happen.)

7) We fear our secret (which isn't that terrible) will turn our daughter (that should have no potential for darkness) dark.

8) We won't at all fear that about our new baby.

9) After telling her we want to replace her and are okay with leaving her forever again, we fear that we can push her away (even though she clearly got over that).

The other major things is that from season 1, Rumple made the Savior for his curse. Season 4, the savior is some fundamental thing that Emma was prophesied to be with loads of light magic and can give happy endings in a world without magic. Umm, what? I understand and they said it, but that is quite extreme. Also, Lily the liar is filled with so much darkness. Look how much bad she's done!
