LOL at Adam's answer about Maleficent and Lily, it's not our fault if we want to have a story finished XD (hopefully they'll do the vignette episode this year!) They need to let Goodman answer as it's always yes or no. XD

Plus, Mal and Lily's impact on the show is sooooooooo minor that I'm actually going to side with A & E on this one. First, I wasn't, but after twoish more seasons of people still asking about a minor plot point....it's getting annoying. I bet the first dragon we see will be Lily's father because reasons. He'll come right out and say ,"I've lost my daughter and I dragon danced with a powerful witch, do you know her?" While I kind of get your point, they really shouldn't have set that up in the Season 4 finale if they weren't planning on doing anything with it. And honestly, if they really want to stop getting asked the question, just do an episode that wraps up Mal and Lily. It can't be that hard. It'll be something small unless they can get the actresses (since the timeline is ~15 years in to the future). However, it's minor compared to bigger plot points they dropped or left with poorly executed payoff. I think it could get a whole episode. I feel like we might get a few "StoryBrooke check in" episodes in the season, so one where Snow and Charming are helping Mal and Lily or something like that would be a good way to resolve it. Alternativly, some of the characters who need resolving could always run into Henry as he is traveling these various realms, as they are also doing things. Mal and Lily would be good if Lily is searching for her father, and Mulan would also be really good for this, since she just runs around randomly through realms anyway. I also really like the idea of Mulan and Henry working together, since Mulan has worked with Henry's parents (Emma and Neal). I think the vignette episode would be the best solution. They could do a special episode when Henry is reading his old book to Lucy and we can see small scenes with the resolutions of the stories they left behind.
