What about the prophesy that someone will come to Oz via a cyclone to defeat Zelena? Dorothy was not the girl of prophesy because she didn’t defeat Zelena. I predict Emma is prophesied one. The savior. Emma has to get her magic back. She then willgo to Oz via a tornado from the EF. The writers aren’t going to introduce the Book of Records and then leave that prophesy unfulfilled. While Regina, not Emma, defeated Zelena in 3×20, Emma will be the one to defeat Past Zelena in 3×22. The events of S3b will be fundamentally altered. And then Emma will use Zelena’s sliver shoes to travel home to the future.

I’m not sure we do get Rumple back, at least not by means of a life-for-a-life. We might, but then again, we might not. He was willing to give the ultimate sacrifice in 3×11. Maybe that sacrifice will stand. Or maybe, just maybe, Belle will successfully find “another way” to bring back Rumple, as she told Neal in 3×15 before he paid the ultimate sacrifice with his life.
