Remember Once had mythology for Maleficent since episode 2 of the first season, they just haven't been able to show it yet due to Kristen's commitments to other shows like True Blood. Now that she is free we are getting the backstory they have had in their heads for several years. Maleficent was in production before OUaT premiered, and many people already know what the plotline would be. One cannot use what was said in 1.02, as proof of the mythology. Did you know, that Mary Margaret was originally written to be a nun? The writers had to put a joke about it in 1.03, because the character had been marketed that way.
