Frankly, I would like to see all three of them - Cruella, Ursula and Maleficent - remain. I rather like them a lot.

I don't think Snow and Charming did anything truly terrible. Of course they aren't going to work with Maleficent. I'm guessing they did the best they could and something turned out terrible for Maleficent. Like how Snow said that she really did ruin Regina's life, when she was a child just trying to help someone. Or how she was suddenly dark because of Cora's death-- she's a ruler and sometimes you have to make hard decisions to save everyone. I expect this new secret to be more of the same. I think she just doesn't want Emma to know that she has potential for great darkness-- they think it'll shake her faith in herself. That, and they don't want her to know the consequences of all those hard ( but not evil) decisions.

David and Mary Margaret suspect Cruella and Ursula have come to Storybrooke looking for something more than their own happy endings – something that threatens to reveal a secret they thought was long buried. Emma begins her own investigation of Cruella and Ursula, but she can’t shake the feeling that her friends and family are keeping something from her. Regina and Henry continue their search for the Author, turning to Pinocchio and Marco in the hope Pinocchio might remember a clue that will help them. Meanwhile, in a flashback to Fairy Tale Land, Snow and Charming cross paths with the Queens of Darkness as the threat of the Evil Queen’s Dark Curse hangs over all of them.
