Three stories were just too much for the show since they always tie the storylines together. I enjoyed getting to know Mulan and Aurora but I'm glad to have Emma and Snow back where they belong. :)

I think they might have. Without hope to save Philip and a need to split up why not go to Storybrooke? As it is I would like to see their quest at some point this season. (I'm a sucker for princess(es) saving the prince.)
