Honestly, I always thought Rumple and Milah were both so terrible for each other and that her first death was a blessing because no matter how things went (considering the possibilities after she chose to leave with Hook), she'd never be truly happy. She would've either gone on with her life alongside Hook without Bae and endless guilt, eventually gone back home to her miserable life while still being in Bae's life, or fighting with Rumple for Bae and risk a very ugly turnout. It wouldn't matter if he had power or not, Bae would suffer the most.
