Now as to the "so-called" death. Hard to say for sure, but there has been some subtle, and not so subtle, foreshadowing for Robin's death. But it could just as easily be Moe (which would leave Belle in an unenviable position of being eternally in a sleeping curse, which is what Zelena had thought to do to Dorothy).

However, given how some of the other scenes have been that were rumored to be emotional, I would highly recommend keeping a tissue handy, just in case. Honestly, I think, Hook's funeral might be towards the end of the episode. The heroes have the more pressing matter, of Hades wanting to conquer Storybrooke. Emma said, that her armor would now represent her need to protect her loved ones.

However, the rest seems quite plausible. Casting an unbreakable curse seems much worse than killing someone.
