I like Lady Junky's theory of Anna finding help in the form of the Snow Queen. but I DON'T like the idea that Anna dies.

Here's my theory, and it is just a theory. I think both Anna and Kristoff end up as Ice Statues, at the hands of the Snow Queen, maybe because of something they found out about her. When Elsa goes to try and rescue them, the Snow Queen tries to turn Elsa into Ice, but finds that she can't because of the ice power. Then, rather than kill Elsa, she convinces Elsa to go on some quest as a pretense to her helping, and then makes a deal with Rumple to trap Elsa and hide here where noone can find her.

Now Elsa (and the Snow Queen) are in Storybrooke, but the statues are back in the EF, so in order for Elsa to rescue her sister, they need to open a portal back to the EF. This is one of the reasons that Elsa and Emma bond (though not the only reason), because Emma and Elsa combined have enough magic to open a portal, but Emma is still lacking control over her powers, which is where Elsa can help.

Also, Part of the portal magic is going to have to involve the use of a looking glass. (similar to what Rumple gave Regina to use against Cora). This maybe gets to some of the Mirror related titles, such as "Smash the Mirror", where someone is going to go through, and Smashing the mirror basically slams the door shut, trapping the person on the other side. That may be how Elsa and Emma defeat the Snow Queen, by transporting her elsewhere, and then closing the door.

The arc ends with Elsa returning to the EF, and we see Elsa break the curse on Anna, then Anna in turn break the curse on Kristoff.

Just my thoughts.
