I will agree with the annoyance with Emma for IGNORING the wisdom of Hook. I mean, first she remembered "Back to the Future", so she knew that time travel was perilous, and she spent a good amount of time trying to repair damage that she had done. Then she goes and changes something else. Although, as someone else pointed out, I probably would have done the same thing in Emma's place, so I can't be too annoyed.

Second, I am also a little annoyed with Hook. By playing with his "Home Decor" and moving things around in Rumple's vault, he caused another change by setting the Urn to be brought forward with them. That was unintentional, but he should have known better than to touch ANYTHING (particularly after harping at Emma the entire 2 episodes). And, regardless of how Elsa plays out (which is something that I am looking forward to seeing), there are going to be consequences to THAT action as well (probably for Rumbelle, If I had to guess).

Now, having said all of that, I am still pulling for an ending that frees Marion without killing her. I will guess that Henry (and maybe Roland?) will be involved, and Henry is the one person that can get reach Regina, because Regina does truly love her son. He convinced Regina to drop spell that would have killed Emma and Snow in Season 2, and Henry was the first one to believe that Regina was capable of defeating Zelena with Light Magic. (there are probably other examples, but these will suffice). So, while I can't exactly say HOW it will play out, I will go on record saying the the solution is going to somehow involve Henry convincing Regina to stick to her good ways.
