I have a headcanon.
Emma has the necklace back now. And at the final battle of this season, when all seems lost and nothing has worked to break the curse, you’ll see her hold it and it will start to glow. And she’ll realize that true love never really dies and once you’ve had it, it’s always a part of you. And Emma alone (with Neal’s beyond-the-grave true love) will break the curse.
True love never really dies. Sometimes we lose the people we love, but they’re always a part of us.
*sniff*
I have no real reason for it, but it’s my headcanon until proven otherwise, darn it.
