About plotholes, there are some things I'd like to add:

-They saved Robin from death with dark magic, and then the Fury came for him. They did exactly the same with Hook but the Fury didn't appear.

-^About that: Some characters have cheated death before and the Fury didn't appaear as well.

-Hook didn't remember he was the Dark One. But how come he didn't notice something was wrong after they came back? I mean, he is a vessel of Darkness now.

-How in the world did they enact the Dark Curse without the "template" or whatever that thing was in 4x12. If you can do it without it, then what was the point of that flashback? I can solve some of these:

1) It's a different thing and they don't actually have define rules in the show. Robin was healed when he was close to death, but Emma didn't ask for anything (which probably had to be of equal price, but why? Who knows). Hook was turned into the Dark One and is Immortal, so the Fury probably can't do anything with him.

2) The Fury is really the Repo man for powerful life saving magic. If no life is taken or some equivalent for the use of storng healing magic, then the Fury will come and Repo. So, technically the Fury would have came for Rumple, but the Fury probably can't do anything with immortals. So, the fury would have to come for Neal, but Rumple absorbed him and the Fury couldn't do anything. It would be cool to explain why Rumple couldn't keep the dagger when he was choosing Neal. He had to pay the price for not sacrificing the life. So, they both lost themselves and the power to control themselves.

3) I assume that the Darknesses didn't care to show up to Hook, or he was "cursed". I mean Rumple slept in season 2 and it was said that Dark Ones don't sleep. So, that's a tad bit higher up in the holey-ness.

4) The template is used for nothing relevant, I'd say. Remeber that recipe for a tethering potion that Zelena hand waved instead of making a potion. It's because the writers don't no how logic works. Remeber those incantations to free the faires from the hat. Completely wordless. I think they should have a dictionary near by when they write.
