Hydrasaur wrote: That was confusing... Is Merlin dead? and how is Hook a dark one if Merlin was a light magic user, not a dark one? Shouldn't Hook simply be a magic user now, not the dark one? Unless its because since he's already killed, he automatically becomes dark? Or perhaps he isn't a Dark One, just a magic user, since he hadn't used dark magic at all?

And Emma's plan is to destroy the darkness by transferring it to Zelena, then killing her with Excalibur. But the thing is, how would that work? wouldn't the darkness just transfer back to herself, since whoever kills the dark one with excalibur becomes the dark one? I came up with a theory. Emma used her corrupted HG (Holy Grail) magic (Darkness + HG magic and immortality) to remove Merlin's HG magic. So, he should be alive and Emma's corrupted magic corrupted the HG magic she put into Hook turning him into a Dark One. Basically, Emma's magic contaminated the magic stuff that was put into Hook.

Emma would put all the Darkness and HG magic into Zelena and then use Excalibur to kill Zelena and the magic inside her.
