Once Upon a Time - Season 5 - Bosses Spill Dark Swan Secrets

Thanks to StephonJS for the heads up.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Just to be clear, when the show returns, has Emma (Jennifer Morrison) officially succumbed to the Darkness yet?
EDWARD KITSIS: Part of what we saw with Rumpelstiltskin [Robert Carlyle] was his struggle, and we watched the Darkness consume him. We’re going to see the same with Emma. We’re going to see her struggle against this very dark thing inside her, and we’re going to see what happens. And perhaps, if we saw that video at Comic-Con, the question that we would be posing for our audience is what happened to lead her there?

Before the question felt like: Where did Emma go? But now should we be asking when?
KITSIS: It is not a question of when.
ADAM HOROWITZ: We’re not doing time travel. We dipped our toe in that. It was fun.
KITSIS: We may go back, but not this year.

That only intensifies the confusion over how Rumple is with Emma in this photo.
KITSIS: I know. How is Rumple there? Why is he behind her, and why did we give the caption, “If you’re going to be the Dark One, gotta learn from the best”? I would say all of those questions will be answered in the premiere. Emma was sort of like Dorothy taking us to Oz in season one. Emma is going to be taking us into the Dark One and the Dark One mythology, and we are going to learn this first half of the season who the original Dark One was, what made them tick, and why there is even a Dark One to begin with.
