Black Fairy's plan makes reasonable sense, the flaw was execution as always.

16: Get to Storybrooke. Kill the Savior, if fate allows. It's doesn't.

17: Try to gauge what she's up against. Convince Rumple.

18: Get Black fairy dust (which she didn't bring with her) due to small portal).

19: Figure out a way to get black fairy dust. Convince Rumple. Rumple gives her the wand that allows her to go back to the Dark Realm to get dust. (not stated)

20. She has the dust ready to destroy all realms and give her ultimate power. She tries to kill Emma early, if fate allows it. It doesn't.

Finale: What we saw.

One major issue for us is that we had no clue what to expect. Zelena's time travel spell was said in the middle of her arc and we knew what she wanted. Fiona had mentioned the Dark Curse, but we've seen that and that didn't seem note-worthy and we didn't know what she aimed to do with that spell.
