Are the two Blind Witches related? What happened to Cora's Knave of Hearts? Will we ever see Prince Thomas again? What happened to Glinda and will we see her again? What is Regina's sigil in Heart of Darkness? And most important of all (to me) how did Cora become the Queen of Hearts in Wonderland? Regina traded the Dark Curse to Maleficent for the recipe of the Sleeping Curse (don't forget, the Dark Curse scroll Maleficent had was the recipe).

Cora's Knave of Hearts (from Hat Trick and Queen of Hearts) was most likely Will's replacement. Which means that at whatever point of the timeline Hat Trick takes place, it's AFTER "To Catch A Thief" from the Wonderland spin-off, so he's probably still in her palace. And she probably just murdered a royal couple when she got to Wonderland and took over their kingdom. Either that or she just... built a palace and people followed.

Prince Thomas is in Storybrooke with Cinderella but he might've disappeared again in the EF during the missing year. (Probably not since Rumple did it originally and Rumple was dead at the time..)

Glinda is most likely still trapped in her own pocket dimension, if not in Storybrooke now.

The theory on the two blind witches is that they're the same woman. With the first one being the one Regina burnt to a crisp. No personal theories of how the Blind Witch got the apple, but a theory suggests it was hers originally and Regina just straight up stole it. As for why, regular apples probably weren't strong enough and would be destroyed by the potion, so Regina probably need a magically fortified one.

And what do you mean by sigil? I'm confused.
