I think it might be best to do a little overview of some characters and circumstances:

August is the Sheriff but is still new to his job. He is finding it difficult filling Emma Swan's boots but I think he's doing a good job. This is his first big case.

Sir Henry is like the second son Emma and Regina have. He's currently the deputy sheriff of Storybrooke but has experience fighting criminals due to being a knight.

Lily has a kind of romance with August but they've only been on a couple of dates and she is now an accomplished sorceress after being trained by her mother Maleficent.

Maleficent is still as sarcastic and waspish as ever and lives at the Forbidden Fortress again with her daughter. Her backstory, such as her heritage and the great love affair she had with Zorro, will be explored.

Ella and Sean are happily married and balance their normal Storybrooke lives with the fact that they have to help Mitchell, Sean's father, run the kingdom. Ella goes by her EF name, wheras Sean isn't Thomas anymore.

Regina has been queen for a year now and has made massive changes, including a council of all the leaders of the realms to help her make decisions. She is largely well-liked.

Emma is retired and has passed the mantle onto August.

Granny and Tiana merged their business to Rollin Granny's and business is booming.

Mr. Gold's Pawnshop has remained abandoned because no-one has enough knowledge nor the energy to sieve through the various magical itmes there.

The Fairies are able to use their powers to their full potential again and Mother Superior is sending her senior fairies to be fairy godmothers of various people again rather than just nuns.

Lady Tremaine is disgraced and spends most of her time drinking now that her daughters have left her and she is on tense terms with Ella, Sean and Mitchell.

Morgana is the twin sister of Ursula the Goddess but is not as powerful as her sister, though no less dangerous. She is friends with Tremaine.

Mad Madame Mim is a very powerful witch who can transform into a dragon but needs to use the Dragon's Claw to channel her powers. From Camelot.

Zorro's love affair with Maleficent will be explored and why he can turn into a dragon.

The Mystery Man is extremely dangerous and is collecting witches for ...

The Fairy Godmother will appear at some point in a mysterious way (I can spoil if you want), and her relationship with Ella will be explored.
