"Once Upon A Time" Season 5's mid-season finale has just aired and a major character has been killed off. A major twist also happened in the mid-season finale allowing the character killed off to be saved from the underworld.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Captain Hook became one of the Dark Ones and together with the previous people whose names were on the dagger planned to take everyone to the underworld so as to rule Storybrooke. However, things took a dramatic turn before everyone descended to hell.
Just a recap, in "Once Upon A Time" Season 5 Episode 11, Emma originally wanted to channel all the darkness into the Excalibur then sacrifice herself. But when Hook became another Dark One, he stole the Excalibur and so her plans did not go the way she had planned. Nimue then choked Emma so she could stop her from doing her plans but Hook turned against the other Dark Ones.
He then forced Emma to stab him so she could save herself, Comic Book shared. Emma transforms back to herself and Hook dies as the Excalibur turned to ash.
As for the major twist, Emma has discovered that the dagger was not gone and that it was in the shop of Mr. Gold so that the darkness from the Excalibur can be channeled to himself, making him the ultimate Dark One. Although Hook was killed off, reports say that he will not stay that way. Emma will be taken to the underworld in exchange for keeping Mr. Gold's secret from Bell, who came back and said she wants to be with him despite her choice in Episode 10, so she can save Hook.
