He was free when Regina stopped him from taking revenge at the farm. When he ended her in that prison cell (and made it look like a suicide) it hadn't been about him.
His child was dead because of her, and there was no way to bring him back. The Dark One did not need to hear the Queen or anyone else spout about how killing her would not restore his son either. This was not going to be that kind of story for him, where vengeance was somehow meaningless.
No. Bae was gone, and the only thing that meant is that if she dared to darken his doorstep, nothing was going to save her.
"Eventually, Regina will have to know. I kept it to myself because I could not risk word getting back to her and another avenue opening for Zelena to go back and resume making trouble."
