• I think that it is being set up that Emma and Hook could find they are attracted to each other, but when Bae enters the story again, Hook might step away so that he can make it up to Bae and give him the family he always wanted. The show is about parallels, so I’m thinking that Hook already feels guilt that he took the family that Bae had by taking Milah away and didn’t think about the consequences. Maybe with Emma, he might think the right thing to do is to not ruin another family so he must push her away even though they have a connection.
That would break my CS little heart, but the angst would awesome to watch.
