Well, that means everything emma did was to save everyone and to make up for her mistakes. So why she turned Sneezy to stone, made everyone believe she was evil, try to get Robin or Regina in the underworld, try to get Belle killed, take Zelena with her plan, instead of just telling everyone except Hook the truth remains a mystery. Or let's just blame everything on the darkness and call it a day, the devil made her do it. (To be honest, I think the old Emma would've done the same thing)

But Dark!Hook is (hopefully!) gonna be a lot of fun! Because he's a POC and too powerful and knowledgeable....but to be serious, it's because he can become a deus ex machina, but then again the writers could simply depower him and forget about him, but it does add a tad bit of drama. Plus, it cemets evil Hook.....I wonder what his animal motif would be?

I think they were simply writing Emma that was to confuse us. I mean even in 507 we thought Emma was totally giving in to evil befoe Merlin warned her in her mind, but she wasn't evil. So, I say that it's shoddy writing. Not bad quality, but they deliberately wrote something the opposite way so there could be a twist.

In-show reason, Emma was struggling with the Darkness and her own plana and her light is still there, even if it's corrupted. But her family will say the DO made her do it and forgive her.....I mean it's a perfect opportunity for the group to save Rumple and see him as a better person, but I bet they wouldn't even cared if Hook killed him. Probably would only stop Hook to save Hook's goodness.
