Re: Stepfather Hook?

I dislike Milah rather intensely, but. Hook loved her, and apparently with him at least there was TL between the two. Rumple once loved her. She was capable of risking her life to save someone she loved (she faced the Dark One for Killian’s sake). She did TRY at least a little to fix things with Rumple, asking him to go elsewhere where her life would be less wretched. And she’s still Bae’s mother–and Baelfire is too wonderful a child for his mother to have been completely rotten. He’s selfless and brave and true and loving, and he could only gotten some of that from his father. And whether or not she “never loved” Rumple, she did act supportive and loving toward him before he deserted.

I still think she’s a horrible person in sum, who did horrible things (when she tells Rumple he should have died rather than coming home to be a father to his son…gah–almost more cruel than any of the killings on the show, srsly), but she’s more than just that. And I think we may learn more about her between Hook and Bae in the coming season that may round her out more. In fact, I hope we do.
