Yeah it is like Merlin wanted to be stuck there, else he could show to the Apprentice how to free him. Even the  Apprentice seemed like more powerful then Merlin (his master). When the author went to the Apprentice in our world it seemed like the sorcerer (now Merlin) was someone who knew almost everything and was mastermind of everything. Logically speaking for someone like Merlin who knew that could come to getting killed by the dark one, he could do some backup plan like Zelena did when Rumple "killed" her. I even believe that Merlin could go back in time. The writers are making true once fans nervous with their plot holes and unexplained things
