I don't think the Evil Queen is done for good, because she's still got one pending plot point: as a snake, she still has Gold's GPS bracelet. They wouldn't have kept that on if it weren't important, as Gold would have no problems finding her now she's caged. I guess she'll get free.

Also, the Evil Queen si thematically relevant to Regina's own arc, so I think it will be her to dispose of her for good (my money's on reabsorbing her and learning to accept her past, forgive heself and find out she's strong enough to let the Evil Queen dwell in the memories and just be herself in the present).

Personally, I hope the Evil Queen will cause some situation which forces Zelena to choose once and for all which side to pick (her closed off but still caring sister, or her accepting but clearly unloving counterpart) and help her mend the relationship with Regina through action. I mean, Sisters had me cry my eyes out and is one of my favourite episodes, but I'd rather have the Mills sisters mend their relationship through real work rather than conveniently placed Cora plotpoint.

I think the Emma vs Gideon situation will be solved by having Rumple (and possibly Belle) use the Shears on him to cut down his destiny to kill the Saviour, while keeping Emma's role and magic intact for future seasons.

Hook desperately needs a plotline.

Henry, who?

Snowing will find each other and break the Dual Mode Sleeping Curse.
