I think they are referring to the scene with Regina and the apple tree here. She will die but it will turn out to be a dream.
They say in the last three episodes, which means probably not in the season finale. If we look at the titles of the episodes Apples Red as Blood looks like the episode in which someone “dies”.
I still think noone dies this season. Good writing doesn’t have to involve deaths.
