I'm talking about how Rumple lost Neal through death. A permenate loss. Emma needs such a loss. And as we've already seen a Dark One lose a direct family member, it should be Hook this time, so it's not just a rehash of Rumple/Neal. Emma has already had permanent losses. Graham and Neal. That's why she was afraid of getting romantically close to Hook, because every other guy she's gotten close to ended up dead.
