And how can Emma split her heart for Killian in the underworld? He is literally a ghost in the underworld, his body is in the living world, and Emma's was unremovable (unless they might have a way.

And another thing: what if Hook would not want that? He wanted her to let him go. Anyway Milah is with him.

Do you suppose the moral of this story is "one has to not carry the torch of our loved ones forever" aside from "the past is coming back to haunt us"? Hook moved on from Milah.... she is a non-factor.

A major reason Emma cannot move on, is because Hook died for nothing. Gold's betrayal made Hook's sacrifice meaningless, because the Darkness was not destroyed. If you look closely at the sacrifice scene, Hook points to Gold right before he dies. Going to the Underworld, is Emma's "screw you" to Gold.... she refuses to let him win.

The moral of the story is actually.... you choose who you want to be.
