I feel that season 2 will end in contrast to season 1 and that things are going to get a lot darker toward the end. At the moment I feel the series is leading to a dramatic conclusion with Cora against the Charming family / the rest of the town. Ultimately I think Regina will choose Henry over her mother, and that Rumple will also swing towards family. Hook's only real agenda is Rumple, so he will be the wildcard / stand alone (although there is still that crush on Emma which may/may not force him to pick a side or being manipulated by Cora/Regina but I think they've burned that bridge). What I'm really keen to see explored is whether Emma starts to use magic, and how that changes things, and what happens with Henry, who's at the centre of everything. I'm not enamoured with the whole stranger storyline - I hope it turns out not to be about exposing Storybrooke but perhaps helping another 'lost' character return to the fold?
