‘Once Upon a Time’ season 4 spoilers: When will there be a major Maleficent story?

The fourth season of “Once Upon a Time” will not be back on the air until March 1, but when it does eventually return, there are quite a number of different things you can expect.

One of them seems to be episodes revolving around each of the Queens of Darkness in some way. Recently, we wrote about a possible Ursula-centered episode (the sixteenth of the season) entitled “Poor Unfortunate Soul,” and in this article, we’re taking a step back to the fifteenth episode, which carries with it the title of “Enter the Dragon.” We don’t imagine that this is a Bruce Lee reference. Instead, the show is probably referring to Maleficent, the woman (played by Kristin Bauer van Straten) is one of the most notorious villains of all time.

While it is not confirmed that either of these episodes will for sure tell the backstory of the characters mentioned, it feels likely. Why else go with these names? We’re waiting to find out now if there is a Cruella de Vil episode; the fourteenth one is entitled “Unbroken,” but superficially, there does not seem to be that big of a connection between that name and this character … even if we know we are most likely going to be seeing a very different Cruella on the show than we did in the Disney movies.

It’s entertaining talking and speculating about these three characters, but the reality here is that the Big Bad for the second half of this season is probably still Rumpelstiltskin. He is out there, hoping to track them down and get momentum going for some sort of evil cause.
