But I think 3B is going to be two fold: The WWW vs Regina and the Charmings; and Belle trying to find Rumple again with help from Neal. And they all arrive back in SB just in time for the big showdown.
This is what I’m hoping they mean with all the “new” way of storytelling stuff…they don’t need to have every character on the same 1 adventure, cutting out others almost completely — hopefully we get 2 arcs that get similar amounts of attention – and hopefully these are those 2 arcs! I liked S3A but this would make me very happy during S3B! Haha, I want to see Belle and Neal’s “so…your my dad’s girlfriend…Yeah, so I’m still about 200 years older than my future stepmother” conversation. tee hee. But honestly, it would be excellent screen time for Belle and Neal, both of whom need more than the bit they got in S3A.
