It's possible we'll be getting the Blind Witch without getting a direct Hansel & Gretel. Think Regina Rising -- Regina and Claire went to the Blind Witch's cottage, but they weren't Hansel & Gretel. If Henry and Hook encounter the Blind Witch somewhere and see that she's a child-eating blind baker, it's enough to connect the dots.

I mean, that's basically what they did in present-day of 712.
