First of all, how long do you think Gold will be in a coma? I would imagine that he will be released within the first couple of episodes. I also think that we will be seeing the Apprentice, so there may be need to obtain information about the Dark One that only Gold can provide.

Also, I do think there will be Centric episodes. The fact that they mention Charming "Bro-ing" out with Arthur suggests the likelihood of a Charming (without Snow) centric. and there are rumors of Belle and Merida going on an adventure, which again suggests a Belle centric episode (and maybe more character involvement for Belle, yay!)  And since we know that Abby Ross is returning, that can likely mean an Emma centric. We also have cast a Young Arthur and Guinivere, so there will be at least one backstory with them as well. This is all just my opinion, feel free to disagree.

As for this particular episode, however, it does sound more of an ensemble centric.
