I don't believe Jen appearing in one episode where it ends with Hook getting cursed and who knows what happens to Emma a "proper conclusion" to her story. :/ Well hey, if she really couldn't give the writers some assurance that she'll be back to conclude wherever they leave Emma in 7x02, they /could/ always just shoot a small reunion scene now and save it for later. May not be the most satisfying but it would be a "conclusion" nonetheless and the writers' hands are kinda tied regarding Jen.

At the end of the day, sadly, they are not telling "Emma's story" anymore. I anticipate any significant appearances/mentions of her will revolve around Hook and/or Henry. I would be shocked to get any more episodes from Emma's point of view. And I can imagine Hook arriving back in his time with an assumed restored happy ending without having to show her on-screen. Since she's appearing so early on in the season, I'd love to think that she'd be back towards the end as well, but we'll have to wait and see. :(
