News from A & E:

"The Coven of Eight is not the only threat fans should be worried about in the back half of the season. “The Coven is part of it, but it’s not necessarily hopefully what you expect,” EP Adam Horowitz says. “It’s not just going straight up against them. There’s a twist to it and a threat that comes from another direction.” Here’s a giant clue from EP Edward Kitsis about that other threat: “There is an awake fairy tale character that is out for revenge and starts to exact it in Seattle against people who have no idea what they’re up against,” Kitsis says, noting that said character “has a very specific target.”

Theory: Gothel is the Shady Fairy to Facilier's Dark One. The Coven might be fairly nefarious, but Samdi is out for revenge and also getting petty stuff over Tiana.

Theory 2: Perhaps through newfound love, Samdi gets his "friends" to defeat the Coven.
