I wonder why emma is dressed that way though.
That is Emma´s normal clothes, the tank top, boots and back jeans.
Since they said the scene is cut when Charming goes to the figure, may be a dream, or nightmare in this case.
Maybe it is a vision of the future, just like how Snow had a vision that Emma will turn evil, or when Regina saw the evil queen approach her and Robin, and when Emma had a vision of Snow getting killed by a beast. Both vision seem to show the future, but not the way they thought.
Yes, Regina’s vision shows the Evil Queen returning, but Robin is already dead before she came back. Snow realized that her vision was not what she thought when she arrived in the dark one’s chamber with Lancelot, it was about Emma turning into the new dark one, and it already came true. And Emma’s vision was not about saving Snow, it was about finding Red. I guess if this is a dream vision of the future, then it might not be Emma who got stabbed and killed in the future, it might be a different major character.
And if this Hooded figure is not the EQ, then it could be someone handy with a blade. Maybe not King George, cause he is too recognizable. Maybe it is Shan Yu lol.
