I have a question, why are some of this season's most important supporting players only appearing in one half of the finale? We have Maleficent in only the first half and Lily and Zelena in only the second half?

If Mother turns out to be the only episode we get with Lily and Maleficent interaction, I'll be sad :( At the moment the cast list for the episodes is based on spoilers and who has been seen during filming, we can't say for certain that Mal won't be in the second half or that Lily and Zelena won't be in the first half until the press release.

But it's possible that the first half could be looking at the altered events before Regina cast the Dark Curse so we wouldn't see adult Emma or adult Lily because they wouldn't have been born yet, and Zelena didn't show up until several years after.
