Also, it is probably not Emma who is going to die. Similar to what happened with Regina and Robin, in The Price. It was implied that reforging Excalibur, would have a severe cost. My theory.... the price Emma has to pay is Hook's life, but Regina will offer herself instead. Regina already offered her life to Robin, but they both made it. And I don't think she would do it again on a pirate.
