In the season 4 finale, Emma (Jennifer Morrison) was seen to have vanished as she became the dark one and will be given focus in the first half of season 5.

In addition, Spoiler TV also released photos for OUAT premiere episode for season 5 and it showed that Emma was with Rumpelstiltskin, suggesting that the latter will be the new dark one's mentor.
As to why Rumpelstiltskin and Emma got together, producer Edward Kitsis told fans that they have to watch the premiere to learn more about the two.
According to Kitsis, Emma did not travel through time and having Rumple with her will be explained right away in the opening premiere.
The first episode of season 5 will be titled "The Dark Swan." Aside from knowing more about Emma, viewers will also meet King Arthur and his men, as well as princess Merida who will be lending a helping hand to Emma to fulfill her quest.
Meanwhile, an (LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) story will also be featured soon in the ABC fairytale series.
In a report from Entertainment Weekly, Kitsis and Adam Horowitz said last Friday that an LGBT relationship is coming to OUAT.
