And if the characters don’t know, then we as the audience likely won’t know. So that’s interesting. They sort of did that with Zelena in her arc in season 3. We knew she wanted Snowing’s baby but we didn’t know why. But the difference is that the Zelena arc was for entire half season. As a result, episodes got old and I remember feeling frustrated not knowing Zelena’s intentions and people going around not even knowing who she was. But in this case, Black Fairy is coming in much later in the season so keeping her motivations secret could be compelling, especially given it could set us up for the series finale.
