I think that the scene of Emma almost shooting Lily was the darkest we've seen Emma. It was intense! I wish that Emma we saw at that moment would've been the Dark Swan, it really should have been. OUaT kinda made up for it, when Emma blackmailed Gold.... she looked like would have killed him, if she could. But that was after her "dark" period. Even though her blackmailing Rumple seemed like the writers really forgot about season 4.

Season 4 had Hook blackmailing Rumple because of a secret dagger. OMG are we just going in circles, just changing actors?! The plot is recycled:

- Some villain comes to Storybrooke to do mayhem.

-Snow is optimistic.

- Someone finds some magical mcGuffin.

- Snow is pessimistic

- McGuffin is proven to be completely useless.

- Conflict with villain is solved by loophole.

- Snow is confused. I know. Except they broke the Emma cycle this season and while they broke it, they never replaced it.

The Emma cycle is something something blah balh acceptance. Adam and Eddy say so themselves. Emma learned to accept love and a future together....in the flashback, but in SB she's just bumbling about actively unlearning it. Hook is the one that chnages and saves the day, Emma's just some partly unwilling and unknowing accomplice.

That Snow cycle must be new....oh wait, nevermind, it's the same since season 3a.
