1. Someone completely out of nowhere.

2. The Black Fairy. Sort of last minute and random.

3. Morpheus. Weird twist that makes no sense.

4. Jafar.

Listed in likelihood. Jafar is at the bottom because I would think that they would just say Jafar. Given the spoilers, I would guess that Morpheus toss the second rate villains of EQ and Rumple to the side. Rumple tries to stop his mistake. Heroes try to stop his mistake. EQ randomly gets a genie to cause the AU. I mean, a genie has to have a master/mistress to wish for something, but this breaks magical laws, which are still limits on the genie powers....unless it's somehow Jafar? Even if the genie was Jafar, he still shouldn't be able to break the laws of magic. That power was negated once Will and Cyrus' brothers were freed from the genie curse, as we saw when Anastasia immediately died again. Yeah, I know. But with the loose rules on Once, it wouldn't surprise me if they changed it. But that's why I put Jafar last anyhow. At best case scenario for Jafar, there's retconning.

Or Adam will post on twitter explianing the intricacies of Genie Law and how Nyx's curse limited Jafar's powers temporarily and with certain exposure to certain items, whether shears of destiny or a generic vial of magic, things can change. XD (Secretly, part of me wants this to be the case so I can have a good laugh.)
