We know Rumple and WRumple share the same Darkness. So, if Rumple loses his Darkness inside him, so does WRumple. I understand that part. I also get where WHenry took away Rumple’s powers and immortality yet he was still the Dark One. The Darkness inside him still resided. So did WRumple.

But all the complications occur after Rumple takes his heart out. What happens after that? His heart was cleared of the Darkness somehow. But why? Also, why did WRumple die even though only his shared Darkness was destroyed? There is no connection between his life and real Rumple after all. Just like Snow and WSnow. He should not have been died.

Any theories?
