The Bug screeches to a halt when Emma spots him, hanging in the sky. As she rushes over, Emma sees Zelena, arm extended up and out, as if she was choking someone. Emma puts one and one together and yells out to the Witch, "You let him down right now, or I swear I-" "You'll do what? I told you I don't deal with amateurs." Zelena interrupts, extending her other arm, sending Emma to the skies to join Killian. "I also told you not to interfere. Maybe this will teach you a lesson."
The Witch vanishes in a swirl of green magic and Emma and Killian plummet to the ground. Instincts kick in and Emma uses her magic to slow their descent. However, it would seem that choking wasn't the first thing Zelena tried on Killian. He's losing blood fast. There's no way in hell Emma can get him to the hospital in time, and she doesn't have enough energy left to try even the simplest healing spell. Emma falls to her knees crying, "No! I can't lose you!" "It's okay love, you'll move on." Killian says soothingly, "Besides, it's not like my feelings were reciprocated." Killian's eyes begin to flutter, staying closed more often than open, the light and energy in his brilliant blue eyes slowly fades.
"Hey!" she yells, shaking him violently, "You will not leave me. Everyone else leaves me, not you too. " the tears come again, flowing freely, as Emma wraps her arms around Killian's prone body and buries her face in his neck. "You can't leave me… I love you Killian." She gasps, "I love you, you honorable pirate, with your good form, and leather, and eyeliner and hook. You won my heart Killian, but I guess it's too late now." She kisses him gently as a sad smile grows on his face. She stands and walks away as he releases his dying breath, knowing that if she didn't, she would completely fall apart, forever. But she's the savior, so she must put on a brave face.
