Kat could think the death is permanent as a result of thinking that the Blind Item is about OUAT. Pretty sure the death she teasingly claims to know about is Robin, because she got really annoyed about that one fan on Twitter “who spoiled EVERYTHING!”, and said fan kept saying that it was Robin’s funeral. Way to keep it subtle, Kat.
But what if it is not Robin’s funeral but Hooks? Remeber when Adam has already hinted that even though Emma’s main goal is to save Hook, she will also come to terms with her personal mission.
“Although following Hook is what initially brings her to the Underworld, once there it becomes a journey that forces her to look inward and come to terms with the fact that her role as Savior has not been fulfilled, and is actually just beginning,” he said.
And also the possible reason why Colin was there was that that maybe Hook appeared as a spirit from his tomb and gives a final goodbye like Fergus did to Merida. Why else is Merida here at this funeral? guess because she let’s Emma use the potion to summon his spirit. And after that, Colin wasn’t seen in other bts photos. But also it could be more than one death as hinted from the recent Hotseat interview from Wed March 9.
