My theory.... Emma transformed into the Dark Swan, when she learned that the price for destroying the Darkness was Hook's life. She became a villain in hopes of saving him, from his unfortunate fate. Which would explain, why she is so possessive of him in Storybrooke. The Dark Swan's plan to mold Gold into a hero, is probably her futile attempt to fight Fate. We already know that villains do not get happy endings, because they go about getting them the wrong way. Or... She's tricking everyone? I mean, she mimicked her good self perfectly on the ship with Hook.

Or she still has the Darkness in her, but has regained her will to fight?

IDK, I think the fact that they set up the Darkness to be this all-consuming evil that has to be tied to a soul means that Emma's forever the Dark One... Unless they make Rumple the Dark One again, but I don't think they'd murder his character any more than they already have.
