I still think this is a Regina-centric. I would assume they would get the two fan-favorites early on in the season. We don't actually know the context of what Cindy is up to -- it's not hard to think that we could be seeing a major Cindy-based plot in an otherwise Regina-centric episode. Skin Deep had a pretty big Snowing-based present-day plot even though it was a Rumple centric. While "The Garden of Forking Paths" could refer to Cindy's story falling off its original path of meeting the prince at the ball, referring to Regina's Page 23-esque hunt for a happy ending seems much more meaningful and closer to the original usage of the term.
