Re: Emma SWAN and PotC: the Swan isn’t a connection to the PotC franchise, but they did clearly model Hook on Captain Jack (at least in part). Also, back in the beginning of S2 when they first discovered Hook hiding among the dead bodies, he pretended to be a blacksmith, which I do think is a call back to PotC: Will Turner was a blacksmith until he realized he was always meant to be a pirate.
If Tamara isn’t anyone magical whatsoever then…I’m stumped. People have suggested a giant corporation that’s trying to hunt down magic and that’s starting to sound like a plausible theory.
