Ok, I'll put the a not so obvious question out there.

Since it appears that we are getting an AU episode (or set of episodes), What story is being told in the AU EF? It's not enough to just plop the characters back in the EF, there needs to be some sort of story, some sort of conflict that needs to be resolved. Otherwise, it's going to be boring, and I don't want something that could have potential for a good story to become boring.

I'm going to presume that King David and Queen Snow have no idea of what Storybrooke is, or what a Dark Curse looks like, since the general concensus is that this AU is based on the concept of what reality would look like if the DC was never cast. So, the story is going to have to have new parameters, and possibly even some major character adjustments. Emma, for example, is not the lost girl that was looking for her parents as this version of Emma grew up with her family, and that could look really different.

So, character adjustments and story... What is going on?

And is Rumple still the DO by that point, or has he be replaced (by Morpheus?).
