S1 ended with Emma breaking the Dark Curse. After spending the entire season, not believing anything Henry told her about Storybrooke. S3 ended with Emma and Hook being sucked into a time portal. After spending the entire arc, trying to prevent the Wicked Witch, from using a time-travelling spell. S4 ended with the former Author rewriting the book, and Emma becoming the new Dark One. After an entire season, of villains trying to turn the Savior dark, in order for the Author to give them happy endings. All of these outcomes were forshadowed thought their respective seasons. The only thing, is that they did not play out, as the audience was lead to believe.
