I think if the major death happened back in EF then it was Neal or Zelena could have placed him under the SC and have him hidden somewhere. Well, Neal and Belle were quite set on finding the Dark One's daggar so maybe they found it but Zelena stole it from them or maybe they were tricked into making a deal with her to bring Rumple back. I really doubt Neal would do something so against character as to side with Zelena though he saying something about cursing an entire kingdom to get back to Emma might be some kind of foreshadowing that he played a part in the new curse.

We all know Hook went to find his ship and ended up fighting his old nemesis Blackbeard then got the note saying to get Em, but the question is who sent the note? I think there was some speculation that the message was a trap to bring Emma back to Storybrooke. So it could have been the Wicked Witch who sent the note and made the potion as well.
