I don’t think Emma has to die in order to return to Fairytale land. If that was the case then why aren’t they back in Fairytale land now? If the plan was for the curse to be broken and then everyone would magically be transported back to Fairytale land, then they would already be there. Besdies, we don’t even know of there’s anything to go back to.
