Rumple trapping all of the magic in Storybrooke into the crystal probably explains why Zelena has trouble with the portal the next day (or whenever) and the four get sucked in. I wonder if the crystal is going to be connected to this new realm in some way or if it's just a random occurance that they end up at that location. I don't think that Jekyll/Hyde would be connected to the gods, but who knows.

 When Henry and co. are back from NY though, he shows Regina the crystal and it looks like she performs magic on it. That might be her restoring the magic balance back to Storybrooke.

 Snow/David/Hook/Zelena might think they rescued Hank from Sam (although the press release makes it seem like they're both antagonists.....) and Hank will spend 6A with them as an ally of sorts when they spot Jacob in town, but then surprise - they're the same person and they brought home a villain.
