Careful about the several years time jump...

Time jumps have killed some shows. It killed Desperate Housewives when they did it between season 4 and season 5. It was so bad that they even undid it later. As stupid as it sounds.

About the 5B, we don't know a lot of sutff yet.

-Ex, there is are a rumor/theory about Ruby and Mulan returing in the Oz episode, to help Dorothy.

So, that would be just 1 episode

-Merida and Camelot people will return at the very end of the season, according to what Amy Manson said. So, I assume they will show up until the main cast return to Storybrooke. That means, they are not getting a whole episode.

-You are counting episode twice. For instance, you are saying Milah and Baelfire returns in the second point. And then a Rumple centric episode in the sixth point. Those are likely to be the same episode. Same with Liam/Hook and Regina/Cora.

-We know for a fact that Hercules is not getting his own episode. He is part of a Snow/Evil Queen episode
