I had actually considered that as an option. Maybe an aging spell that takes Henry way too far, and then Gold, Regina, and/or Emma have to 'De-Age Henry', and in the process, they end up missing the mark by a couple of years. It'd be even funnier if they did it in the span of 1 episode, and have the aging spell be something that Henry accidently casts on himself.

But I would prefer to see a few skips. As we saw last Spring, the combined 1 year skip combined with the "lost" year in the EF provided some additional areas for flashbacks that could be done without retracing existing stuff.
