we are currently scheduled to air 10 eps in the fall. But the arcs don't correspond to the air sked.

Designated Survivor and Speechless are the first newbie ABC shows to get full Season pickups for this Season:
From Dictionary.com:
changeling
noun
1.
a child surreptitiously or unintentionally substituted for another.
2.
(in folklore) an ugly, stupid, or strange child left by fairies in place of a pretty, charming child.Wonder how this will play out? On another note, we have another new writer: Brian Ridings. Looking at his IMDB, he’s been with the show since Season 2 as a script coordinator. Did he randomly get a promotion, or could this be a one time thing?
I do think that Adam and Eddy will write 610, since it should be the Winter Finale, based on Adam’s comments about the first half of the Season being 10 episodes.
Regina magic is also red.
Occasionally, but most of the time it’s an indigo color.
The only hitch with the mirror thing for me is…we saw Robin’s soul literally explode, disappear, or whatever it did…and he doesn’t have magic, so his spirit can’t just be traveling around Storybrooke like Zelena’s did. Adam and Eddy would have to have a pretty solid plan of restoring his soul in order to make sense of him being trapped in the mirror this whole time.
There actually is something potentially in the writers’ favor. When the crystal hit Robin, we just saw his soul leave his body, and then disappear. His body remained behind intact, and his soul could have just gone literally anywhere. But when Zelena uses the crystal on Hades, it turns him into ashes. So Hades was truly obliterated, while Robin wasn’t.
Saw OUAFPodcast post this theory. As crazy as this may sound, I could honestly see it happening:
You heard it here first! Per @samsjag: what if Robin Hood returns as the Magic Mirror? #OnceUponATime @OnceUponAFan @sean_m_maguire #theory

I guess Robin could still technically be “dead”, but his soul can communicate to Regina via her mirror. Not sure how this would play out, but the idea of Robin returning in a recurring capacity is strange in itself. It would explain why 608 is called “I’ll Be Your Mirror”, which happens to be the episode that they’re currently filming. Normally when casting announcements are made, they’re in relation to the filming schedule.
Keep in mind: he’s not coming back to life but still a multi story arc. So I find this…suspect to say the least.
As for my reaction to this: I’m….confused and frankly a little irritated. Like, they just NOW came up with an interesting idea for Robin? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised but it feels like they are either 1) placating the fandom in the same manner they do with SwanFire or 2) they got a cool idea a week after S5B ended and were like “oh well. Our world allows with this with its inconsistent rules. So why not! #Magic!”
If they’re really not resurrecting him, then just what are they doing with him for multiple episodes? Sean said that he wasn’t interested in returning when asked back in May, so just how did Adam and Eddy convince him to return? Multiple episodes implies something other than flashbacks or a vision/dream sequence, too.
