I think it's safe to assume it will start off with a flashback or a non-storybrooke scene. Season 2 - starts off with Neal in New York getting the post-card. Season 3 - flashback to Emma giving birth to Henry. So I think Season 4 will likewise not return directly to the current Storybrooke events, this is similar to how LOST did it as well.
