Emma mortally wounded the apprentice, but not so much that he couldn't provide a last little modicum of help. And while it definitely looked like he died this time, there is no confirmation, in the show, to confirm this. So they still could, if they wanted, bring him back.

But back to the topic, I am betting, based on the Press Release, that Killian will try TLK, and it's going to blow up in his face, just like it did with Belle. In fact, I could see a scene between Belle and Killian where Belle suggests this, and hoping that Emma won't be like Rumple and choose Power over Love.
