Maybe the 3 original QoD were stages/steps towards darkness. Emma gets past one she's one step closer. You know like in Star Wars fear leads anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to evil.

Ursula - fear/ doubt (over losing her lover and friend).

Cruella - anger/ killing

Maleficent/Lilly - hate/ war (promo suggests this).

Gold - Evil?

Maybe it's something like that.

I have been wondering about his 'seeing' power too. I think he might have lost it when he got resurrected. he got that power from another magical being, it wasn't part of the dark ones curse so it didn't come back with the rest of his powers when he came back.
