I think that back in Camelot, Hook somehow got a hold of Excalibur (now that it is tethered to Merlin), and killed Merlin (and I will go out on a limb and predict that it will happen in Birth). Assuming the tethering to Excalibur works the same as the Dagger, this would mean that Killian is now the Sorcerer (weird concept, right?). And Emma's comment about the blade not controlling anyone anymore (from the Sneak Peek) could be a reference that whatever she's doing is designed to release both her and Killian from control of the blade(s). And I get the feeling that whatever Emma has planned is not going to work as expected. This theory is possible.... but I think, Elliot Knight was filming in studio during 5.10.
