Here’s my theory :
In the promo we all see Emma holding something and she says ”that’s not possible”, I believe what she is holding is a box which contains something she has kept all this time, an unconscious memento to remind her of her family and her friends. I think the vial is what was originally inside the box, which is what the WWW will use to return everyone to Storybrooke. Emma on the advice of Hook maybe unlocks the box and realises it is missing hence as to the reason why she says ”that’s not possible” as the WWW has stolen it or Chris Gorham’s character could have and given it to her. Now you’re all probably wondering How did Emma get the vial in the first place? I think that during the goodbye scenes before Emma and Henry leave Storybrooke someone could have passed it to her maybe Regina or Rumple could have given it to Neal/Bae to pass on to Emma as he can see the future and don’t forget the Blue Fairy is still around. This lead me to ask What could be inside the vial? I believe it is the opposite of the True Love potion, something filled with the darkest of evil, though you may think it should be black but then Emma might have thrown it away and this way it doesn’t look as suspicious and she might think it’s just perfume or something like that instead, and it can be used with a drop of the caster’s blood which is why when WWW taps her finger against it there’s the colour red. This way no one has to die to sacrifice their heart to enact the curse as the vial has enough darkness to do so and you might just have to think about what you want like the magic beans will take you somewhere if you think of it. What better way is there to protect something so rare and powerful than giving it to someone who will have no memory of anything that has happened?
