Hook always boast that he is a survivor, but it is not entirely true. He may survive in many situations, but he would save Emma from the dark one at any cost (which may mean his life). If it means giving his life for her, then he would die as a hero this season.

It is not a conclusion, it is just a thought and a possibility.
