    Probably. they have to come up with some way to rationalize why Robin can’t come back to life if he is in fact dead for good next week

    It could have to do with the Olympian Crystal, the Magical MacGufin of the week. Maybe the Olympian Crystal has the power to kill a God, so if Hades uses it to kill Robin, then Robin dies in a way that can’t be undone. Otherwise, you’d think Regina would try a heart split the moment he dies.

    Dedicating a season to saving Hook and then killing Robin – a good man and father of two young children – in just one episode (poof) is close to being a mockery storywise.

    But yes, it probably has to do with the crystal. Hades saying in the promo that he’s not going to “kill” someone, but rather “end” them indicates that something irreversible happens to Robin, and I for one will hate it.

    I think you’re right. We’ll have two deus ex machina type things–your earlier prediction that Zeus comes down to help Hook and then this Crystal thingy that will be used against both Robin and Hades

    Sadly, the Greek gods were known to be capricious and cruel, so saving Hook only to kill Robin fits that bill.
