Actually, villans have been looking for their happy ending for the very beginning, Rumplestiltskin was looking for his son, Regina was looking for her victory. But they later have decided their happy endings are something else. What's interesting is now we get to see other villains doing the same. It took some time, but the wirters are finally bringing in other fairytale or story villains. Still, it's what they've been doing since the beginning, the details are just a little different.
