Before I Jump to any conclusions, I think I'll wait to see the episode air. They are obviously keeping anything with Robin (outside of the headstone) close to the vest.

Going back to the end of season 2, they had a situation that made it look like Neal had been killed, and from the perspective of the heroes, he was dead. And seriously, a gun shot wound to the chest, followed by transport to a land with limited medical facilities, has an extremely high liklihood of resulting in death. And they did not even hint to his possible survival until late in the next episode (which was the season finale). So from an audience perspective, we know that Neal was alive, but the Heroes thought he was dead. Done right, this type of storyline can be interesting, and that is actually what I am hoping for. Particularly if Robin somehow ends up in the Asylum.

IF that were to happen (and I realize that is a big IF), then Season 6 could have whatever storyline they chose for the SB heroes (maybe tackling Lily's predicament now that things are back to normal), while Robin tries to reach Regina, or at least get her a message as a subplot. And REALLY good storytelling would find a way of twisting these two plots so that they are actually 2 pieces to the same puzzle.

And if the pictures showing a portal open (with Regina, Zelena, and/or Emma as the opener) are true, that would be a great plot device for allowing free access between FTL and SB(and maybe a few other realms?)
