As in present in Sisters, there are no retcons (or at aleast anything significant) and just because the past was contrived and contrivances made their prescence known in the epiosde doesn't mean Retcon! Implying that the writers have favorites doesn't imply retcons and aren't even factual.

Point them out and I'm sure I can tell you there are none worthy crying foul over and some mistaken plot elements. A retcon is "new info that contradicts/ implies/ conveys something in a different perspective of something previously known before.

Cora going to the better place isn't a retcon. Cora being better than Rumple as a person isn't a retcon. Zelena and Regina's contrived past isn't a retcon. Cora and Zelena's father being abusive isn't a retcon. Cora being concerned over her child isn't a retcon. Rumple teaming with Pan isn't a retcon. Cora being a nicer person with her heart isn't a retcon simply because you lose track of the subtleties. Cora was being punished and had plenty of time to reflect on what she did and Cora did attempt to manipulate and lie to Zelena, so she was still her manipulative self. Just because we've seen 5 minutes of a hearted Cora in the past doesn't mean she'd revert to that because even heartless people grow as a person.
