‘Once Upon a Time’ season 4 spoilers: A new ‘mission’ for Henry, Regina?

If there is one thing that Regina needs right now on “Once Upon a Time,” it is probably something that she can use to occupy her time. She is clearly very upset at Emma Swan over the return of Maid Marian, and in her mind, it may not matter very much at all as to whether or not Emma knew what she was doing bringing her back to Storybrooke.

Luckily, there is someone stopping by in Henry who may be able to calm her down … at least to a certain extent. Speaking in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Edward Kitsis does his best to explain just how we could see Regina and Henry working together, and through this experience, the one-time Evil Queen may be able to steer clear of reverting back to her old ways:

“We’re going to see Henry on a mission with Regina this year … And maybe some of his light side will rub off on her.”

What we personally want to see from Regina is the continued temptation to go evil, mostly because the idea of her constantly being good takes away a good percentage of her character. At the same time, though, having her become a full-fledged villain again would negate the past few years of character development. Like most things else on this upcoming season, including the implementation of the “Frozen” cast, balance really is the key for now.
