I mean think about it logically...there are so many people that believe that Emma's character arc is going to be short or about half a season. The beauty about the evolution of this character is that it's going to have a decent gestational period. We know that A and E like to drag things out. So, the first quarter of this season will be about Emma's rise to darkness; second quarter, before the break, will about Emma embracing her darkness. At the mid-season break- she will be at her lowest point- doing something pretty bad, but after the break we learn that it's fixable. The third quarter will about the quest for her redemption. The fourth- her redemption through the death of a major character. Check this at the end of season 5. I'm not wrong. When they said the condition of the show had changed..they meant it.
