Character-wise, we only have three well-defined overarching character arcs left: Rumple's addiction, Zelena's redemption, and Hook (and Rumple's) animosity. Everyone else is simply cruising along for a happy ending which is when the show ends. That also explains why Rumple has magic again....it's because it's the only (major) thing left holding the series together, because Rumple and Hook will make amends eventually and Zelena's redemption is minor. I don't think Hook and Rumple will make amends or kiss and make up. I think Rumple (along with the Darkness) will be killed/destroyed at the end of the season. Whether it be Hook, Belle, Hades or someone else who finishes the job.
