What are you talking about? Emma and Mary Margaret have been a major theme, this season. As pathetic as the pacing during the first half was, that arc was all about the mother-daughter relationship. The middle of the season, is all about the core characters.

Just because Mulan was in the background for several episodes, does not mean she was the focus. Broken was about all the characters, and The Outsider was about Belle with Mulan's arc being secondary. All Into the Deep did; was confirm that the only reason she cares for Aurora, is an extention of her love for Phillip.... it was still in the background, though.
