Maybe they won't totally defeat them in this arc, but just stop one piece of whatever their plan is. I still think it would be nice to have some villians that last for more than 10 episodes. (other than Rumple, who I definitaly cast into the role of Villain).

Maybe, with the theme of Family does not give up on Family, There's going to be a real Nevenger teamwork effort, with main matchups for the Hero/Villian combos. I hope we see Belle elevated and given  more to do as the main hero to counter a Non-magical Cruella. And maybe (once Killian gets his Heart back) Hook may have to take on Ursula (and Blackbeard?)

But, I hope that the main part of this is to get Rumple back to full on Dark One, and then Introduce a Male magic user to be the Wizard as his arch-nemesis.
