Emma Swan is the lead character, and yet Jennifer Morrison feels that her story is over. That is why she wants to move on to other projects. It is not like she pulled the rug out from under Adam and Eddy. They obviously knew, there was a chance she would not renew her contract. Jen seems like the type of actress, who would want her character to have a powerful exit. But it's not up to her unless she has any creative control over her character and frankly I don't see that happening. I don't see them killing her off when there is always a posibility that she could come back for more than the one promised episode. Regardless of whether she pulled the rug out from Adam and Eddy (which I don't think she did either) it doesn't mean they've had an easy time figuring out what to do with her character. Normally main characters that have a status like Emma don't get killed off, unless you're a Grey's Anatomy character.

There are a lot of stories where the protagonist dies at the end. There are even fairytales like that like the Little Mermaid and some of other HCA's fairytales.
