^Are you sure? Hook literally said “So pretty, and yet so useless.” He basically said that she’s of no value to him. I think that’s why he hit her and tried to kill her. Hook is being referred to as a villain for a reason. Is he on the level of Rumpel or Regina? Heck no! But he is a villain.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure when he said “useless” he meant that she was no longer of any use to him. He killed her because she was useless in his eyes. I think the writers made it quite clear. I know some may want to interpret it differently, but the scene was quite easy to read in my opinion.
I also really love Hook. I just hate that he hit my precious Belle. 😥
Yeah, I was upset about that too. But I can’t be too hard on him for that. My favorite characters are Rumpel and Regina, so… 😆
