As for the return trip, I'll reserve judgment until I see the episode (and maybe the entire Arc). We knew that they wouldn't stay out of Storybrooke for the entire arc (I think we saw what happened with Neverland).

One thing that interests me is that it takes DARKNESS to power the Apprentices Wand. And that Regina is no longer Dark enough to qualify. Is this a setup for either Zelena or a restored Rumple to assume the mantleship of the Apprentice? Or is it possibly a setup that the Apprentice was, himself, the first Dark One, and the only one until Rumple to break free from the Darkness, and setting the stage for Emma to become the Apprentice? Yeah, I will wait too. (Even though they pretty much say that Merlin created an ever growing monster)

As I said, this makes me think that the Apprentice is a Dark Magic user. I think his words are more of a twist.

Regina has plenty darkness and I thoerize that Regina's use of TLK (which lead to Light magic usage) is what negates her from being accepted for the wand. It's a whole Magic/ Apprentice thoery that I have.

Only one that knows only Dark magic can use the wand. So, pretty much anyone that does not do TLK or Light magic.
