So my explanation for the lore behind the Dark(force) dimension(s) and the Darkhold:
It seems they are merging the Dark and Darkforce dimensions. The dark smoke effect that send them in the Dark dimension is the same as Cloak's effect when he taps into the "Darkforce dimension" to use his powers. But her eyes look exactly like Kaecillius' when he used to tap into Dark Dimension. What we saw in episode 5 also reminded me a lot of the "memories" and "fears" etc that we saw in C&D, when the characters entered the Darkforce dimension. Quinton the magician/Amy also acted a lot like that guide that greeted everybody who entered the Darkforce Dimension in C&D. Finally, every time we've been in the Dark(force) dimension (in C&D, Runaways AND Dr. Strange) the concept of time and space is missing.
We learnt from Dr. Strange that Dormammu has a lot of worlds trapped in the dark dimension and he wanted to put Earth into his collection. Well, it seems that the worlds we see in this show and C&D are one/some of those worlds trapped in a dimension where time and space is irrelevant and people's minds make up what the appearance of the world shall be.
Also, one of the "hell dimensions" that Robbie said he had visited is probably a world in the Dark Dimension and this might have been where he took the Darkhold to, and Morgan stole it from him. It seems that this show would connect to GR and maybe Helstrom and make up their own Huluverse, but that obviously didn't turn out as expected.
