I think a lot of Regina's story will be about she feels about herself and who she became and could become again. Obviously, it will become about how she feels about others in its own warped way. I don't really think it will - or should - become about Daniel again or about Robin so we can stop focusing on ships. Obviously love is a part of her happiness, but that is what it will be about - her happiness, in all forms. Why should she be good if it makes her feel she is getting nowhere? But it will be more about Henry than anything. Henry is someone she didn't have the last time she lost someone who meant a lot to her. How will he influnce things?

It is more about her happy ending than anything? Just because next season is going to be like season one, it doesn't mean our characters will go back to being who they were then. Too much has changed for that. I think the writers mean the charm of season one - the small stories and other characters. It will be about how Regina feels about the EQ and who will win - her good or bad self. Her bad self will obviously including feelings about Robin but I think it should - and will be - about her own personal struggle with who she is and the choices she made and when she is giving in to her bad side, some of it may be about Emma and Hook. But ultimately, its about her need for a happy ending and to be the person she really wants to be. And Snow and Charming are people she became friends with. Daniel is long a thing about the past so she shouldn't and won't be taking anything out on them.
