This could save Rumple from his Dark One alter ego, perhaps. Some sort of loop hole. If Mr. Gold is dying of some LWM disease or if the Dark One is dying as part of the Dark One curse, destroying the dagger could be a win-win for everyone. Gold/Rumple lives, but is no longer the DO. And without the dagger, there can never be another DO.

Just thinking! This theory maybe is true. In the episode season 1x19 The Return, Rumple told august when he tried to control him with his own dagger " It won't work because it can't harness any magic here. There is no magic here" So I believe destroying the dagger arc may happen. Im slightly confused. A powerless dagger in season one somehow deals with destroying the dagger now. They never did say the dagger can't be destroyed. I wonder why people don't go take a dwarf pick-axe to it.''' Season 1 No one knows where Rumple kept the dagger, hence, no one can really destroy it.

Season 2 Cora stole the dagger to become the dark once, hence, no one can really destroy it.

Season 3 Rumple had it then Zelena which means, no one can really destroy it.

Season 4 Rumple had it. In 4b belle had it but didn't destroy it because what's the point if the Dark One was outside SB anyway. And even if they take a pick axe its not a guarantee, maybe magic is needed to destroy the dagger  just like Zelena's pendant can only be removed with the strongest light magic wielder. Everything is not so simple in OUAT universe.

And I dont understand what you mean by " A powerless dagger in season one somehow deals with destroying the dagger now" what do you mean by this? It doesn't make sense to is all.
