Exactly :P

Back to the actual topic. I could actually see Jafar working alongside the Evil Queen in a kind of weird "both think they have power over the other" relationship (I don't know if you've ever heard of it, but my best comparison would be Xykon and Redcloak from the Order of the Stick webcomic). The Evil Queen has worked alongside others a lot (she has an entire army of Black Knights, plus the Huntsman, Maleficent and later the other QoDs, and Rumplestiltskin) but pretty much always ends up their enemy (the Black Knights being the exception). Jafar has also worked alongside Jabberwocky and Amara, only to betray them later. It could actually be a very interesting dynamic. End it with Jafar trying to kill the EQ, only for her immortality glimpsed in the finale to kick in and she takes his heart, either crushing it or taking control over him. (That, or Jafar actually finds a way to beat the EQ, but that would be shocking since the EQ is a much better villain plot-wise, being the villainous form of one of the main characters while Jafar is just "manipulative sorcerer who likes breaking magic".)

We don't know how Hyde's villainy works (if he's even really a villain, which I doubt since he played more as an anti-hero in the finale), so I'm not sure if he'd be willing to work with either.

I could also see Jafar trying to recruit Zelena, since she managed to break the laws of magic. I don't know if she'd go for it, but it would definitely be interesting.
