However, I think I may have an idea for one of the flashbacks. It will relate to the reveal in "The Other Shoe", and I am becoming convinced that the reveal will be that Anastasia (from Wonderland) is indeed an older sister of the Tremaine sisters. and (should that prove to be the case) later we will get a story that ties some of the loose ends together regarding Anastasia.

In rewatching Wonderland, I noticed something in Heart of Stone. When Ana's mother was confronting Ana, right before Ana and Will jumped through the mirror, she makes a statement about being disappointed in Ana's choice, but at least she still had Ana's sisters. Not sister singular, but sisters. And from what we know of the Cinderella story, there is no way that Lady Tremaine would be including Ella in that comment. So, If we accept that there is a relationship between Ella and Ana, then I think we can maybe infer from this scene that Ana is most likely the older sister of the 2 "evil" stepsisters. The fact that Ana's mother says "sisters" is indeed one of the many things on Wonderland that point to how Ana can be Cinderella's stepsister.
