Be careful what you wish for and joke about. I've seen more than one thing that was said as a joke turn around and become reality.

And quite honestly, done right, that would not be a bad story. Sure, just shove the dagger into a rock. But WHERE is the rock? How do they get there? What sorts of obstacles will they encounter? Does it have to be Emma, or can anyone shove the dagger in? I don't know if you get a whole arc, but you could easily get an episode, maybe two, for this action. I expect the uneventful and un shocking TLK to save the day! Could just do that. Summon her, then kiss her! Group Kiss and then solved! But they'll find someway to beat around the bush. Unless the TLK just forces the darkness out of the vessel instead. Or, maybe TLK causes the entity to change to the new host. That might also explain some of the reaction that Rumple had back in the EF when Belle did kiss him and it seemed to work. I am going to bet that Gold is going to be a wealth of information that can hopefullly be useful in defeating the Dark One.
