I feel like it should go back to the way season one and most of season two were: with a common goal or conflict not pertaining to a particular fairy tale (like breaking the curse in season one, or getting MM and Emma back in season 2), and then sprinkle fairy tales through it, giving a build up to the conclusion. Season one was probably the best example of this, with how Maleficent had the curse, rumple was trying to make the true love potion, hansel and greatly had the apple, the mad hatter, the whole graham/huntsman arc, pinnichio/august, and cinderella. In the end of season 2 (Cora) and season 3 (Peter Pan and WWoW) they centralize the focus on defeating the common enemy of (most of) the group, who ends up being defeated. That's going to get old.
