I could totally see Emma taking control of the dark one at some point in the series, great idea DanFlynnDesign…this idea made me remember some parallel conversations with: gold-emma and regina-rumple
In “The Thing You Loved Most” Rumple asked Regina: “How far are you willing to go” and Regina said “as far as it takes”…
In “Heart of Darkness” Gold asked Emma “Are you willing to go as far as it takes?”…and she said “farther”…
(This hints that Emma is caple or EVENTUALLY will be capable of anything to save Henry and MM, and break the curse…in the future she MIGHT be able to play with “fire” or “evil” if that is what it takes to win.. I think Emma is a person who is capable of good and evil…and I hope she is careful, because I feel she is slowly corrupting herself, she is seeking Gold’s help who she claims to not trust, (contradiction I think she does trust him and I think Gold’s core is good but got corrupted by power, and he will be a “Snape” figure who will sacrifice in the end for good!! 😀 ) and is trusting him with the most important thing in her life as of now: Henry’s custody, also Emma is “starting to play a whole different game” I hope she stays smart and carefully plays her game to win but not compromising herself) 😯 😥
Emma the NEW dark one OMG 😥
