Cora could've easily replicated the potion for Hook in order to do it to Rumple once they got to magical Storybrooke.

And yeah, I'm going to chalk Zelena's heart being removed in 4A as physically being dug out of her rather than magically removed, which matches up with the visuals and sound effects used then, as well.

Anyway, while Emma's storyline was really compelling (especially that ending with Sneezy! WOW!) I found myself way more focused on Merida's storyline.

In the movie, the lords were genuine friends with King Fergus, as were their children (Hell, Merida was supposed to willingly fall in love with and marry Young MacGuffin until the movie's creators decided to scrap that idea!) and now Fergus is DEAD?! WHAT?! That alone is a far bigger twist than they ever did with Frozen! :D
