I would also disagree with the concept that DNK puts forth about Papa Charming arc being from 6x02 to present. the story was set up in 6x02, had one additional bit of set up in 6x03, and then has been set aside. So I would not consider that arc as active currently (though it will most likely be reactivated later this season by all counts). Same with Rumple, Belle, and the Baby, though that has been a bit more active, it still skipped one or 2 episodes.

Point being, While there are definitly story lines present, not all of them are arcs, at least not in the sense of being told in consecutive episodes.

Even J&H was not quite a full arc. I do believe that neither one was present in 6x02, and 6x03 did very little to move their story along. So really, what I would call their "Arc" would be 5x22, 5x23, 6x01, & 6x04. Just my opinion.
