Imagine if it was Henry, her parents, Regina, and even Belle. She'd save them all, so that test was more of a test of greed/ambition than TRUE love. The way I see it, it was making up for her mistake in Camelot when she (while I fully understand her actions) chose herself over him by making him the Dark On.e

How exactly was it a test of greed? She shoved him out of the firey vortex of death rather than saving her heart. People who would go after the powerful ambrosia (if they were selfish and greedy) would save themselves over the other. It's not much of a test of love for Emma because she would save pretty much anyone that was being in danger, lol. That's the thing though-she had to prove she loved him selflessly, because she has proven that she loves him passionately and completely. Because of her mistake in Camelot, this was her chance to prove she loved him selflessly as well No, that was her letting him go that parallels Camelot. The test, sure, you could say that, but if Emma went with Robin Hood, she'd do the exact same thing and save him from the fire. Thus, the test of the scales wasn't a good one because any decent person would push the other out of the flame (and what if Emma went alone, lol.)

He was already dead though. She could have gotten her heart then gone for him, but she didn't.
