It wasn't just your theory, and once is completely predictable. We've been seeing the future more clearly than either Rumple or Merlin for quite a while. All it takes is one or 2 puzzle pieces and a little thought to how they fit, combined with lots of discussion here.

The only thing that I am questioning, and I'll probably post this question in the episode thoughts thread in the Genral discussion area, is how Killian became a second DARK one by becoming tethered to Excalibur. Merlin was not Dark, even when he was controlled he was able to fight the dark tendencies.
