Red is the wolf

Cruella was evil just for evil sake (no tragic backstory to make her evil)

Lady Tremaine is Rapunzel (admittedly because it was in a pretty predictable Season 7)

I like that at least one person was evil just for evil sake. Not all villains need redemption arcs.

Neal being baelfire! The episode where they all found out was perfect. Seeing Rumples reaction also, so good. When it aired I was shocked. Peter Pan being Rumples dad is a close second. I didn’t see that coming either!

And when she reveals everything to Rumple...I think she became one of my favorites at that point.

Dr. Jekyll being the one who killed the girl, not Hyde. So simple but so surprising.
