Destroying the dagger (whish is what I hope Emma is trying to do in the much speculated photo of her w/ it)...i hope that they're doing this. This could save Rumple from his Dark One alter ego, perhaps. Some sort of loop hole. If Mr. Gold is dying of some LWM disease or if the Dark One is dying as part of the Dark One curse, destroying the dagger could be a win-win for everyone. Gold/Rumple lives, but is no longer the DO. And without the dagger, there can never be another DO.

Just thinking!
