Something interesting. I re-watched the scene with Merlin’s voicemail from “The Bear and the Bow”, and there was a piece of dialogue I found that could have been misleading. We thought he said “The Dark One’s found me already”, but what he really might have said was “The Dark Ones found me already.” So maybe it was both Emma and Hook?

I checked the closed captioning for that episode. Merlin said, “The Dark One’s found me already.” The s sound at the end isn’t plural but a contracted form of, “The Dark One has found me already.”

I just rewatched the scene…. It could be either way. It’s clever if intentional.

The closed captioning isn’t always 100% accurate. Besides, had the captions said “Dark Ones”, they would have spoiled the plot twist.
Seeing as this show is full of plotholes I am not holding back anymore with crackpot theories that may or may not make sense.
Maybe Merlin has now been sucked into Exalibur or is now actually Excalibur. And linking Merlin and Hook together keeps the both of them alive but dependent on each other (well, Merlin alive as the sword), especially Hook being dependent on Merlin seeing as Hook was already dead or very close to it when he became a DO (Maybe Merlin is still kinda alive inside the sword?). Hook is also likely dependent on Emma as well, now that the dagger (with Emma’s name on it) and excalibur are physically connected.
As for Merlin now being excalibur, there could be any number of reasons why, some of which may be derived some new magical rule that we previously knew nothing about. Maybe
-Arthur wanted full control of Merlin
-Emma wanted to protect Hook from Merlin
…for example.
However, if this happens:
Even if Merlin is dead in the present day (which he probably is), there is now a handy bag of McGuffin water that lets a person commune with the Dead (a la Merida and her dad).
Fergus also told Merida not to waste the rest of it, implying that she still has some left.
…then we will know for sure he is dead.
