Dan Fox wrote: Her death (if she actuallly died) seemed similar to the death of Henry, in Gold's nightmare back in episode 2x19. I was so confused with the ending. So Gold asked Belle to marry him, all while tricking her into thinking she had the real dagger and made a promise to her that he wouldn't kill Zelena and then he did. Then green smoke came out of the pendant and made the time travel spell work, presumably. I don't get what just happened.

Actually, he never actually promised her not to kill Zelena. And if you listen closely to their conversation, there was a hint that he wasn't going to give the dagger back to her - "what you're giving me is more than I can ever give you".
