Yeah, let's not be slipping any J&H MIckey's to the magic using crowd. I don't think I'd want to see Regina, Zelena, and Emma as their respecitve alternate personalities all at the same time. (actually, it might be fun for one episode to have the Evil Queen, Dark Swan, and full on Wicked Witch together, but that's about all. I'd rather see the good side of that tandem work together to take down some major enemy).

Though what would happen if someone slipped Rumple that potion? does he get darker? Is that even possible?

But I digress (and my questions are pointless anyway). I don't see EQ as the surprise. Besides, given that this episode happens after Last Rites, It might not be a huge surprise for Regina to backslide if something happens to Robin. and again, based on Jen's reaction, the surprise seems to be pretty big. So I think that rules out any immediate EQ sightings in the present day.
