Doing a character justice is all opinion-based. Jekyll and Hyde doesn't need to raise the show's rating. I mean, the worst thing I think in that story is objectively murder, but in this show we have murder, a variety of abuse, and even other things.

The best way that a character can do justice, in my opinion, is that they are played greatly, written decently, and highlight the core cast and story.

I read Frankenstien and nothing in that story is creepy or necessary of some Mature Audience rating. There's more murder and horrific scenes in Grimm's fairytales than those stories.

I think their story about Frankenstein was actually set up really well, but it's not like he's the main character. His purpose is to highlight the main characters. These other stories are tools that highlights the core cast and narrative. Let's take Ella's episode. It introduced Rumple in his now typical shenanigans. It lead to expositional growth of Emma. It did what it was suppose to do and that was nice.

As long as Hyde and Jekyll parallel and highlight the core cast through their story, then they will be fine.
