-The Dark Ones never returned to the Underworld, so why Charon didn't come to take those who were marked (He returned because they summoned him)

-Why didn't Regina ask Hook to use his father's heart to cast the Dark Curse instead of using her father's. We saw the heart was the final ingredient, so at this point Henry Sr was still alive.

-If Hook absorbed all the Dark Ones inside Excalibur, how come he didn't absorbe Emma? She was still Dark Swan at this point Edward answered 1 and 3 above, and I can answer 2. Hook's father is not the thing he loves most, so he couldn't use his heart to cast the curse. Furthermore, Regina wanted this to be her curse, if she had Hook use the heart of the thing he loves most, it would be his curse.
