We Need To Talk About That Big Death On "Once Upon A Time"

    HOLD ME. Spoilers ahead.

    It's been an emotional season of Once Upon a Time. We had to endure watching our beloved savior turn into the Dark Swan...

    Discovered that King Arthur was actually just a total dick...

    And had to deal with our collective, newfound love for Merlin.

    But that all paled, PALED, in comparison to last night's winter finale. **SPOILERS AHEAD**

    Last night, Emma Swan STABBED KILLIAN RIGHT THROUGH HIS PRECIOUS BODY AND KILLED HIM.

    No, you did not just hallucinate. Dark Swan f*ckin' stabbed Killian Jones, who was also a Dark One (it's complicated, don't worry about it).

    She straight-up Buffyed him.

    He sacrificed himself to save Emma and her family and blah blah but HOOK IS STABBED, PEOPLE.

    And even worse, now Emma's not even Dark Swan anymore so she has to deal with this as her human, fully feeling self.

    And Rumple is EVIL again, of course, because he's the goddamn worst.

    But screw Rumple, HOOK IS DEAD.

    THIS IS NO TIME FOR JOKES.

    We are ALL feeling too much right now for jokes.

    HE IS DEADDDDD.

    D-E-A-D.

    But actually, he'll almost certainly be back. Because Emma and the fam are headed to the Underworld to get him back.

    Should tie in nicely with that new Hercules storyline.

    So yes, our pain is real.

    Yes, Killian has been killed.

    And we all have to live with that for a little while.

    But Emma's going to save him, guys. Because she's the Savior again and WHAT DO SAVIORS DO? (Save people. The answer is that they save people.)

    Now we just have to wait.
