So forgive me if this should be obvious, but I have a burning question about season 5b and I'd love to hear some insights about it. (Keep in mind it's been 5 years since I watched this so not all the details are fresh.)  Anyways, what I'm wondering is - Would Hook have still been allowed to return to life if Robin Hood hadn't died? "A life for a life" is a rule that seems pretty evident throughout the series. (Baelfire had to die for Rumple to live, Henry would've had to die for Peter to live.)  So did Robin Hood essentially take Hook's place, making it okay for the resurrection to happen?
