This is like the Queens of Darkness all over again: almost false advertinsing That promo of Emma in the cell was a big fat lie That promo was never canon, and was filmed during the Season 4 finale. There are no heroes or villains in the Camelot arc. I agree, that promo wasn't canon. But there are reasons why there are promos. They are used to give a sense of what is coming up for the season to generate interest in the audience. That promo of Emma in the jail cell was suppose to create the feeling that Savior Emma is going to go REALLY DARK as the new Dark One. It was suppose to be a jarring experience that we always see Emma has the good guy, but now she is bad. But it is clear that many rewrites has happened.

As many expressed, the expection of Dark Emma was not of some moody teenager crying over her boyfriend of 3 months. People aren't excited or impressed with that. I for one knew they were going to go the route of Emma the emo because they weren't going to "go there" with their precious Emma that has to be pure for her pirate bf. In all of these weeks, Emma the DO hasn't killled ONE person yet. Heck, her body count is higher when she wasn't cursed. As always, OUAT pumped up storyarcs like the Shattered Sight, QoD, Emma DO and underwhelmingly never deliver.
