While there is likely to be a plot of Rumple trying to get back in Belle's good graces, Most of the plot is going to be about villians getting their happy ending (at least that is the vibe I'm getting). This includes Hook and Regina, who though they are now considered to be protagonists, are still in the Villian category when it comes to happy endings.

Now, back to the topic at hand. The flashback does appear to be Robin & Company, which could be very interesting how A & E twist and condense all of the legend of Robin Hood (hopefully, they won't try to cram it all into one episodes worth of flashbacks. There is way too much to Robin Hood, from a literary sense, to do any real justice in just under 20 minutes).

How about an interesting twist. Back in the EF, Robin 'stole' Marion from the Sheriff of Nottingham. However, it seems that Marian may once again be available. What if the trip out of town removed the last of Ingrid's curse on Marian, she is able to come back to town, and settle down with Keith (who has fully recovered from the severe beating he took from Gold). I don't say that all of this will happen in heart of Gold, but the beginning of that plan could be laid, and that would be a part of everyone's happy ending, even Keith's (who could maybe come on as a deputy for David and Emma?)
