1. It's a Robin-centric as promised, random, but delivered. This character is Prince John or King Richard.

2. This is Zeus and we get an actual backstory about Hades, who doesn't really seem to be the villain as much as a happenstance antagonist (because Emma and co are clearly trying to break the rules).

3. This is something even more left-field.

I hope it's number one to get more EF-world-biulding, but it's past-due character development. Number 2 is the next best option because it adds to the greater mythos of Once and it may all tie back in towards the Darkness and other elements like fate and magic and what may come next. Pretty good breakdown. I would argue we could add a 4th option, and that would be someone from Arthurian legend, as this may be the episode where they have Arthur, Gwen, and Merida, and it is possible that the reason they didn't finish that in 511 (even though they filmed one) was because they got an idea for something in Arthurian legend to be used for the finale, so they had to leave them there to tie back into the finale.
