I agree, maybe in the future.

I guess I was looking at it from a viewpoint of the characters who, with the exception of Henry and Emma, come from the Enchanted Forest, and would probably still judge the morality of the situation under those standards, rather than the standards of our world.

Although, I suppose that 14 is still probably the magic age, since that was the age the children were drafted to fight in the Ogre Wars (at least back when Rumple was NOT the DO). My viewpoint is if you're old enough to be conscripted, you are old enough to have a relationship.

As for the couples dealing with issues, I would say that 5 out of the 4 couples are dealing with issues. The Charming's have a few issues of their own to work out, not the least of which is that they are sharing one heart between the 2 of them. (Something that probably still needs to be addressed). CS and RB relationships are obviously on shaky ground, as is OQ because of the Robin and Marion situation, and that one is also going to be rather stressed (How is Marion going to respond to Robin having an emotional attachment to the woman that tried to kill her?)

You know, if they didn't have the Frozen arc to deal with, there is probably enough right there to provide some good episodes. Add in potential relationships like Ruby and Whale (C'mon, Frankenstein meets the Werewolf has got to be good for something), Thomas and Ashley, Mulan and Philip and Aurora, maybe even throw in Grumpy and Astrid, and you can get a really messed up set of relationships going.

WAIT!!! That's it. The big bad for 4B. It's CUPID! :)
