Ok, a few additional thoughts, based on the sneak Peak, Script tease, promo pics, and press release.

1. The blue fairy is actually Zelena using her pendant. Zelena is back in Storybrooke (my guess, not necessarily fact), trying to get the baby. and has the baby just as the portal opens to suck Belle to the UW, and gets caught in it herself. (Seems Zelena has a bad time getting sucked into portals).

2. Scarecrow is real, provided the brain for the first attempt at the Time Travel portal.

3. Flashbacks will likely be primarily to just before the first curse. Dorothy would be a young adult by then, and Zelena still Green (and having the pendant). This may, in fact, be more the traditional WoO story, where Dorothy meets the Scarecrow, Tinman, and Lion, with the twist being that Dorothy faces Zelena in order to get these items back.

4. The house in the backdrop of the pictures seems to be Zelena's house growing up, which lends some credibility to the idea that the Tinman is indeed Zelena's adopted dad.

5. Hades wants the Time Travel spell for some reason, and maybe even provides some insight on why it did not work initially, prompting Zelena to journey from Oz to the EF. (Finally an explanation for why she was not in Oz at the start of 3B).

6. Belle is going to learn that she is pregnant with the baby of the Dark One, and that due to Rumple's deal, the baby currently belongs to Hades. She will also learn that Rumple is the DO again. And if I were Hades, I'd run and Hide. Hell knows now fury stronger than woman scorned, unless of course that woman also happens to be pregnant.

7. The Blind Witch is going to try to help Snow and Charming get a message to Neal (Ok, someone tell me how a BABY is going to get a message and understand it). This is possibly going to be the beginning of the setup that allows the Blind witch to either return to the Overworld, or to move on to the better place.

8. Robin and Regina will be confronting Zelena about what she knows of Hades, and apparantly, Zelena gets jilted by Hades in the UW (She seems to have been crying, which would be uncharacteristic for her). Again, Hades had better have a good hiding place.

9. Henry will complete the rewrite of the missing pages by the end of the episode, which will set up the whatever comes next.
