The last episode of Season 2 was an interesting one- not as strong as it's predecessor, but still a good one nevertheless. I admit that the episode felt kind of rushed, but they had a lot to resolve in a span of forty minutes. And more cliffhangers to leave behind. And at the end of the season, we're left with a plethora of questions:


 * Why does Pan want Henry, specifically?


 * How does Rumplestiltskin know about Pan? Better yet, how do Tamara and Greg know about Pan and why are they working for him? I did find it interesting how Rumple commented that they should all fear him- we're probably dealing with someone more dangerous than Cora here.

(Then again, Cora died in the middle of the season. Will Pan go down just as easily, to be replaced by a more terrible nemesis?)


 * Now that our main cast is in Neverland, will Season 3 flash over to Storybrooke with Belle, Red, and the other characters? If so, what conflicts will ensue? I've got my money on King George being a $%#@! as usual.


 * What about that Wraith that was abandoned after Episode 1? Where'd it fly off to? What about Mulan and Aurora? What the heck has happened to them since?


 * The fact that Lancelot was in this show means we will likely see Avalon and some of the Arthurian mythos. Will that pop up anytime soon?


 * What does Tamara (that $%#@!!!) have against magic and magical beings? We understand Greg's motives, but that $%#- I mean, Tamara, is still a mystery to us. Plus, how'd she get a magical taser that can kill a man made of wood?


 * Regina and Rumple are too fickle to have truly and fully reformed at this point. How will this develop in Season 3? Same goes for Hook and his quest for vengeance. Hook's a wildcard, and we all know that he has not given up his goal of killing "the crocodile." Plus, a point Snow brings up repeatedly is how she is responsible for Cora's death, yet Regina doesn't seem to have acknowledged this much during these later episodes. Is Snow killing Cora going to be an important plot point later on? What about that dark spot in Snow's heart? Will it grow? The end of Season 2 seems to suggest otherwise, with her speech about taking the harder path.


 * Emma seems to be able to use magic at the convenience of the plot. Hopefully, the full extent of her abilities will be expanded upon in upcoming episodes.

The writers have a lot of mysteries to resolve, and we know that there will be more. There are definitely some loose ends that I haven't mentioned here.
