Episode 212 showed us that after visiting Fairytaleland Dr. Frankenstein succeeded in bringing Gerhardt back to life. Later this episode he intended to end his brother's life, but couldn't bring himself to do so ("Father was wrong. I will find another way.")

Mr. Gold fixes Dr. Whales arm ( present event of 205) During their conversation it becomes clear that Dr. Whale wants to try to bring his brother ''back again bacause the first time ended badly. '' The last time we see Gerhardt he's still alive locked up in a cell. Victor fails to end his brother's life. (212) That's an event of an flashback.

If you ask me: The intention to bring a already once revived person back again because the first time ended badly means the revived Gerhardt died a second time. We haven't been told Gerhardt's complete story yet.

Gerhardt already received a enchanted heart. When somebody dies normally his heart stops beating. Even if Dr. Whale was able to use the same enchanted heart again he used the first time for his brother (it could be destroyed during the process, meaning that Dr. Whale will also need a new enchanted heart to bring Gerhardt " back again"  Cora would have been dead for at least some time, then. And she hasn't been dead for even a moment in this season. It's true that she played dead once to convince Regina -209-)
