But then who's the protagonist of ep. 4x16? Everybody thought it was Cruella. One thing we about it... is that Snow was seen in her EF clothes, probably bandit Snow. 416 could still feature Cruella, but maybe not be Cruella's tragic backstory. That is probably 418.

So preliminary we have:

412: Rumple and QoD

413: Not sure

414: Maleficent and Regina

415: Ursula, Ariel, and (maybe) Hook

416: Snow, Charming, and (maybe) Cruella

417: Robin and company, plus Zelena

418: Cruella

Which leaves 419, 420, 421, and 422. Who still needs episode flashbacks:

- Maleficent and Leah (the original sleeping beauty)

- Will, with Ana and Cinderella if we're lucky

- The Sorcerer (who is hopefully Merlin), it is possible we only see him in present day and don't get flashbacks till 5A though

So that could be most of the rest of the season. And I'm sure the end of 4B will hint where we are going/who we are seeing in 5A, so that will have to be worked in somehow.
