As for Guinevere, I would hope that with Arthur's death, the effects of the sand on her ceased because of the fact the person who enchanted her with it died. I imagine she might've gone back to Camelot and rebuilt the kingdom as a true Queen in her own right instead of the sorta trophy wife she used to be standing next to Arthur and having none of her free will to make decisions. Last we saw of Lancelot, he was helping the heroes by going to the lake to see his mother. A missing but plausible piece that was never made note of on the show but I think the writers should have is clarifying if Lancelot got taken by the curse too when Hook cast it. If he did, did he reunite with Guinevere in Storybrooke and go back with her to Camelot?

Mulan... her story towards the end was seriously unsatisfying. A lot of her backstory is muddled too because we never got to see her serving in the Emperor's army or what kind of adventures or conflicts she faced as a warrior.

The feud between Aurora's family and Maleficent was implied to be that Maleficent, for some reason, has animosity towards Aurora's mother. The only hint was in "The Thing You Love Most" when Regina said Maleficent was bested by Briar Rose.

I assume Snow and Red did go off to try and start a life together but maybe it was too dangerous since Snow was a known fugitive and she constantly had to run to avoid getting captured.

How did Tinker Bell go to Neverland and when did she meet Cora?

How did August know that Neal was Baelfire?

How did Facilier and Regina first meet? Hook implied that he got off the island by making a deal with Pan. Bae's story is more sketchy because he claimed he found a way to leave without Pan knowing about his plan, but then Pan told adult Neal that it was a ruse and that in fact he had allowed him to escape all those years ago. Pan's whole mantra was, "No one leaves Neverland unless I say so."

Tinkerbell meeting Cora was one of those throwaway lines that left me itching to see more in flashback but it was never revisited or mentioned ever again. Sloppy and convenient storytelling for the episode plot's sake. :/ Same with August knowing who Baelfire was. Looking back, it was so out of left field that he would even know Neal's FTL identity. How? Why? Where??? I still have hope we *might* see how Facilier and Regina met, though. Please?

Also, all of Oz mythology, the prophecy, the sisterhood of witches and the meaning of it all. Yeah, the writers pretty much never gave clear reasoning for why Zelena got the scarecrow's brain but seemingly never used it afterwards? From the direction of the episode, it seems by the end that she lost some of her motivation. She was so paranoid about Hades using her but she also felt conflicted about entertaining the idea that she could be happy with him and throw away all the time spell business. It was confirmed once that The Dragon is not Lily's father.
