Wetpaint/Hook and Bae

My personal speculation is that at some point, about 28 years ago, Bae finally told Hook about Rumple’s dagger. He and Hook were almost like father-son at this point and maybe Bae didn’t mean to, but he told Hook about the one thing that would kill the Dark One. Maybe he didn’t expect Hook to use the information, but of course Hook did. This made Bae feel really guilty and thus he fled back to our world and landed in NJ around the year 1991.

I’m pretty sure that when Hook left Neverland, he still didn’t know about the dagger. Had he known the dagger, he wouldn’t have attacked Belle in EQ’s dungeon in an attempt to find out how to kill Rumple. I believe he found out about the dagger’s ability to control/kill Rumple once he partnered up with Cora.

Hook: The Dark One – he must be stopped. You spent more time with him than anyone. There are rumours of a magical weapon that has the power to kill him.

Hook knew about something that could kill the Dark One, but you’re right he didn’t know it was a dagger. So maybe Bae let it slip that there was a magical weapon that could harm the Dark One and that’s when Hook took off for FTL.

I hear you, but Hook didn’t find out about the dagger until Cora told him in SB. He heard rumours of a weapon that could kill Rumple but had no idea what it was. I think he heard those rumours from the same person who also told him about Belle (her father maybe?). Neal didn’t know a thing about Belle until he came to SB. So, in my mind, whoever told Hook that there was a magical weapon and that Belle may know about it, could not have been Bae.

Now that I don’t know. Perhaps Bae got tired of living in NL for over 100 years and thought it was time to grow up. He did tell Rumple that he didn’t want to be 14 again. Perhaps he realized Hook was only concerned with vengeance and he wanted no part of it. If Hook was willing to use Belle to get to Rumple, I could easily see him trying to do the same with Bae. Maybe that’s what finally happened and Bae got the opportunity to run and took it. So much to speculate about. 🙂

I just think that regardless of how angry Bae may have been towards his father, he never would have divulged how to kill him. Even if he had, why would he say there is a magical weapon yet not say that it’s the dagger? Bae never wanted Rumple killed, he only wanted Rumple changed from the Dark One.
