Rumple said in this episode that he'd have to find another guardian since he didn't want Alice to be burdened with immortality and whats one thing that could save Henry right now but immortality. The guardian is one of pure heart and wouldn't Henry who is the "truest believer" fit that mold? The prophecy always said that Henry would be the undoing of the Dark One. It all fits IMO. That prphecy was over in season 3, like my gosh, the writers have said that five times over.

Henry has no magic and has too many things going on right now and making Henry immortal is worse than doing that to Alice as Rumple has done enough bad things toward Henry.
