I think Adam and Eddy intended it to be a "Look at the possibilities" and "Here's a snapshot of so many other stories" and drew a few from that to create the basis of the background like Jasmine, etc/filler of the season.

The big problem that often plagues every storyline is the execution and often times presentation. They presented it as something large and grandiose, but I don't think they wanted it to ever be viewed that way. Like a pit stop, not the destination.

They should have steered Jekyll/Hyde's plan a little bit towards revenge on Rumplestilskin or romance, but it was fine being a mini-arc. It just need some focus (which was the case with Hades' logic, Dark Swan's malice, and Rumple's planning in 4B which was cartoonish with a new plan every week and random luck).
