Season 4 is rewritten so that in the season finale, Cruella inexplicably comes back to life and murders Emma, Robin Hood, and Belle, recruiting Hook, Regina, Rumple, and Henry to the dark side as she plots to take over the world. Season 5 focuses on these antics, including an incredibly rushed and disgusting romance arc between Hook and Cruella. The combined backlash from the show's new direction, Cruella's poorly-written return, and the unbelievable writing lead ABC to cancel the season at the end of 5A, ending the series on a cliffhanger where it is revealed that all of the above was Emma's dream and the series was planned to return to its original course.

I wish Tamara had a better developed backstory and was a series regular.
