I kind of agree, about Rumplestiltskin's death. He went out with a bang, in 3.11. However, I am not complaining about his return either. I am intriqued that the Wicked Witch is controlling him, with the Dark One's dagger. It is about time, OUaT used that storyline.

If it is Neal, who dies.... then his death might be connected, to why his father is alive. There must have been a hefty price, for resurrecting the Dark One. The promo hinted, that the Wicked Witch will be involved somehow. Perhaps, Neal made a deal with her, and now she has come to collect? I'm guessing his heart due to part of the promo him clutching his chest in pain, she's warning him to not talk to Emma or something by squeezing his heart to cause him pain but enough to kill him.
