Decided to create an account and add my two cents to this.
The way I look at it, is that both Emma and Lily lean toward good or evil more so than would be “normal.”
So when they were born they both had the potential for good and evil, lets their 1/2 good and 1/2 evil. So when Emma’s potential was put into Lily, she became 1 whole evil and 1/2 good while Emma became 1 whole good and 1/2 evil.
They both still have the potential for both, they just have a tendency to lean in one particular direction.
That’s how I’ve chosen to look at it at any rate.
[adrotate group="5"]A bit off topic…but may be Lily’s father is the author…. lol
Actually, that would fit with the timeline. Mal had already given birth, I mean laid an egg, by the time Isaac had forced the Apprentice to send Lily to ALWM and was consequently locked in the book. But did Isaac and Mal ever hook up? And if so, did Isaac knowingly banish his own daughter to ALWM? Lily’s last name is Page; however, that last name is probably her adoptive father’s name. I still wonder exactly who Lily’s adoptive father is and whether that’s important. Part of me wonders if Lily’s adoptive dad is the Sorcerer.

I just want to say that I don’t think Emma is turning dark.
– Killing Cruella gets a pass. You hold a gun to a kid’s head, somebody’s going to get hurt. Heroes do kill, and sometimes that’s why their heroes.
– Emma pushed and threatened to hit Lily’s old landlord when he insulted Lilly. Ok, fine… doesn’t mean Emma is going Dark. In the pilot, we saw Emma bang a guy’s head against his steering wheel after he provoked her. If anything, Emma is just a different person outside of Storybrooke. She was raised in the real world and knows who she has to be to survive it.
I don’t think the writers are showing us Emma heading down a dark past. They’re showing us an extreme version of Emma that has always existed. Coming to storybrooke changed her life, and she was resistant to that change for a long time. Venturing back into the real world brings out a side to Emma that we aren’t used to seeing.
After what the Apprentice did to baby Lily/Egg, we are left we two possible outcomes:
1. All of Emma’s potential for darkness went into Lily, protecting Emma’s heart from darkness ever touching it. In season 2, Cora tried to take Emma’s heart and couldn’t. Could it be because of what the Apprentice did?
Another example, Emma killed Cruella with LIGHT MAGIC. Seems like if the savior were going dark, her magic would’ve taken on a darker color. Regina couldn’t tap in to her Light Magic until she found herself in a good, healthy place emotionally.
2. All the Apprentice did was send the egg, Cruella, and Ursula to a Land Without Magic, having been manipulated by the Author. Maybe the Apprentice’s spell was never about transfering Emma’s darkness. Maybe it was only to get various pieces on the chess board into certain positions for the “final battle” to play out.
We know the Author was manipulating the stories, so maybe he only made the characters think they had transfered darkness into the egg, but all that really happened is that they sent the egg to another land. However, after the most recent episode, we know that the Apprentice blames himself for what happened to Lily so much that he intervened and explained things to her, which makes me think his spell definitely worked.
If it did work, Emma can’t go dark. The only way I could see it happening is if she became the next Dark One.
