Farerb wrote: I actually thought about a way they could return to how season 1 was, but they need to sacrifice a lot in order to do it (which will never happen). They need to get rid of all the main characters except Emma, Henry and Regina while promoting new characters, which will be August, Lily, Maleficent, Mulan and Ruby.

Snow, Charming and Rumple and Belle’s stories are done and they should just let them end. Snow and Charming are back at the EF, rebuildind their kingdom. Rumple and Belle left Storybrooke to see the world.

Hook, Zelena and Robin are underdeveloped and they just bring the story down ('''No more ships bullshit). Hook stays dead''', Emma learns to accept fate and move on, Zelena dies and Robin realizes that he needs to take care of his kids and not efing Regina so he goes back to EF to help Snow and Charming.

One Year Later:

Regina does Mayor stuff, Emna is the sheriff and along with Henry, they help bring back the Happy endings of characters that returned from forgotten characters island.

The main overall plot would be the search for Lily’s father (which ultimately be revealed as the season big bad).

Side stories would be:

1. Developing Regina and Maleficent’s friendship.

2. Developing Emma and Lily’s friendship.

3. Developing a genuine ADULT relationship between Emma and August.

4. Mulan and Ruby’s relationship, they also help Emma with things

5. Mulan unresolved feelings for Aurora.

6. Regina actually atoning for her sins, bring in characters that she actually has to apologize and maybe help them get THEIR happy ending.

7. Developing a genuine ADULT relationship between Regina and Archie.

8. Maleficent making amends with Aurora.

I agree with the above bold text.
