An Aborted Arc is when a subplot is left unresolved. It sounds like shoehorning They Wasted A Perfectly Good Plot on the main page.

* AbortedArc: What could have been a several-episodes-spanning plot of the 'helpless' Marian being defamed by a 'jealous' Regina trying to discredit her to get Robin back is cut short when Zelena decides to expose herself instead and use the pregnancy to trap him. Whether Zelena knew she couldn't keep Robin in the dark indefinitely, that Regina or Emma would eventually be able to expose her, or she just liked twisting the knife in both him and Regina, it's a nice way to keep from padding an already-complex and diffuse story.

Emma at first also tries to play this card by pointing out what she would do to protect her family is no different than what Regina would do to Zelena to protect Robin...but aside from the fact Regina's quite right about it being different (she isn't the Savior, so taking such actions only threatens her own heroism and happiness, not everyone else's), the fact Emma is saying being more like Regina is a ''good'' thing is cause for alarm. Even Regina's "Really, Swan?" look says as much.
