Then he followed that up with a completely separate sentence. "Can't make a Dark Curse without crushing the heart of the thing you love most."

He never said "Yes, Emma crushed a heart for the Dark Curse." So I think he was misleading us on purpose without outright lying, something that Rumple has always done.

But whatever, why not just label the sections "During Camelot Quest", "After Camelot Quest" and then add an "After Third Curse" once everyone gets their memories back? Then it has to be Gwen crushes Lancelot's heart, because I don't think Merlin has a "person who loves him most" currently living.
