In Birth, the scene where Hook's neck begins to bleed, and the scene where Emma transforms him into a Dark One, were originally written as one single scene. It was Jerome Schwartz's idea to split the scene in half and have Emma teleport herself and Hook to the middlemist field, which radically changed the tone of the scene.

Emma whisking K. away into that meadow was an excellent plot device.

yes it was and splitting up the scene made it even better.
