Maybe the winter finale should have been named "The Queens of Darkness", The current arc "Operation Mongoose", and the season finale "Heroes and Villians".

Oh well, we're not the ones getting paid the big bucks to make those type of decisions. I'm sure they regretted that, seeing how they advertised this as Herroes and Villains, lol. The arc was definitely OM, the sad part is this finale has nothing to do with Operation Mongoose since Regina found her happiness. But see, that's just it. the ARC was about Operation Mongoose. Along the way, the various "villians" discovered their happy endings. Emma was not even responsible for Ursula's (at least directly). Well, I suppose Cruella never found hers, but hers was not a very good happy ending anyway.

But Operation Mongoose was about finding the Author (which was set up back in s4e1) and getting him to rewrite the storybook. and THAT is what we are getting with the Finale. Of course, as we all know by now, ALL magic comes with a price, and this is no exception.
