I'm sure that Gideon will be deaged back to a baby, or at least little kid. However, it is a curious tale that they play with the villains.

Zelena currently doesn't have an arc. Zelena (according to the show recently) is just a blustery, attention-seeking kind of villain. So, unlike the borderline crazies we generally get, she just acts out because of instability. So, we know what she needs to learn; however, all our villains face that lesson of "I need to learn to be happy without getting everything I wanted". With Robin's short appearance (I hope), it almost feels as though Regina can't explore that without interference. Right now, she's a hypocrite that struggles to not act out against her perceived injustice. (Just like Zelena, minus the hypocrisy). Hook experienced losing what he wants and he went full on evil/depressed, but all is washed away because he is getting "everything he wants". Rumple is pretty much showing how you can go real far deep evil and abusive and still "get his happy ending".

I think we'll go on with this unlikely bunch.
