The only character I see reverting to his "Old" Self is Rumple, and I think he's actually getting worse. EF Rumple was Evil and manipulative, but it did not seem nearly as self-centered as he is now. Of course, now he has literally nothing holding him back on his tendencies. Before, his search and thoughts for Bae kept him somewhat in check. Then His love for Belle kept at least a long leash on him. But now Bae is gone and Belle is asleep. Maurice may want to rethink granting TLK to wake Belle, if only to get that long leash back on Rumple.

The rest, including Regina, Zelena, and Killian, are fine. the 3 former villains are rough around the edges, to be sure, but I don't see them falling back into their old ways. And as for Bandit Snow, I'm glad to see her starting to resurface.

Now, to the Season 6 theme, it's hard to say. But I'm wondering if whatever Henry does to Magic (in the finale) is going to have serious repurcussions, causing problems in Storybrooke, or maybe even the LWM, that will need to be dealt with.
