We actually don't have villains anymore (Pan's arc will be over in the next few episodes) so, unless they introduce new villains, the list of people with a potential to become the next Big Bad is quite short. Maleficent is my best pick but I doubt it will happen, at least not this season. Maybe Blue Fairy with secret agenda? Who knows. I just hope it will be someone who is not related to Henry.

As for the second part of the season, maybe the show will take fairytale creature of the week format, or explore some of those complicated relationships. I like the possibility of bringing Oz villains to the show, but I am afraid that Rumple and Regina will take part there, like they always do.
