I think the intention from the start, was that either Hook or Robin Hood would die. The writers just did not make the final decision, until halfway through the Underworld arc. I rewatched 5.02, and everything that happened this season, seems to go back to that fateful night at the Camelot Ball. The problem was that the writers, did not execute the connection well. Nor did they give Robin the character developement needed, to make his death less random.
