I think we might also see Regina struggle with her desire not to hurt herself. After the return to the EF, she first tries to bury her heart, then put herself under a sleeping curse. She clearly has some sort of a death wish to escape her pain at times. It would be interesting if she goes down that dark a road of depression. She's saved her son, but has to share him with Emma and she's lost her last chance (in her mind) for her truly happy ending.
