Before the third curse, Merida is still consumed with vengeance of her father's death and hasn't made a closure yet. She seemed like she wishes to slay Arthur, that is why we see her journeying to Camelot as the curse struck.

And since every season ends with a lesson in life for Emma, she might try to reason with the scottish queen.

I mean Emma looked vengeful on Rumple two. And if Emma does not disturb the death of Killian and might let him move on near the end, she might try to reason with Merida not to go through her mistake. Which might be the reason why in the bts photos show Arthur is still alive, how they said Arthur will show regrets, and how we may finally see everyone leave home to fairytale land.

It's just a thought. But since this arc is about closures and everyone we knew has to make one (the characters who are still alive), Merida might have to make one herself.

What do you think?
