All the things we need to cover/have been promised by A&E:

4.12 - How the QoD met/teamed up

4.13 - Rumple comes back to Storybrooke (?) with the QoD, possibly when Maleficent gets revived?

4.14 - How Mal met Regina. Aurora filmed, too. So we might get some Maleficent backstory here.

4.15 - Ursula backstory. Ariel's back.

4.16 - Snow and Charming backstory?

4.17 - Robin Hood backstory, I'm sure of it.

4.18 - ???

4.19 - ???

These next three are pure speculation, but following past trends:

4.20 - Queens of Darkness are systematically killed off, with maybe Maleficent being the sole survivor. Maybe a weed joke?

4.21 - Part one of the season finale, dealing with some life-threatening aftermath of killing Cruella and Ursula (LBR, killing a goddess has to have consequences)

4.22 - Part two of the season finale, which will introduce either Hades as the next villain (Poseidon's brother AKA Ursula's uncle) or Camelot as the next arc. Maybe both?

As for things that haven't been touched upon in the bare bones details of what we know:

- We're meeting the Sorceror.

- We're meeting the Author (different person, it's confirmed)

- Maleficent's backstory's with King Stefan (it's confirmed to be... "complicated")

- Pinocchio's back (for whatever reason... IDC, I love August!)

- Possibility of Jafar (or another male villain) being introduced into main Once.

- Possibility of Anastasia being brough into Once.

- Will/Knave's backstory.

- Henry will take a greater focus (hopefully like in "That Still Small Voice" and the season 3 premiere)

- Collette and Lilly might come back. MIGHT.

- More fallout from Emma and Hook messing with the past. It was promised for 4A, but if it was done, it wasn't obvious so I'll just move it over to 4B lol
