@MysteryKat – so glad you wrote all of that so I don’t have too!
Seriously. You said it all.
The only thing I will add is that I feel exactly the same way you do about Killian’s “Does that surprise you?” potentially becoming the CS catch phrase. I would love to see Killian continue to impress Emma with making honorable decisions and surprising her by showing her the man he is so that she can get over the “pirate thing” – then I would love to have Emma discover the truth about Milah being Neal’s mother and that Hook turned Bae over to Pan due to either something Pan does or something Neal does in an attempt to make her dislike Killian. But, at that point it will be too late – just like how Belle continues to learn horrible things that Rumple did in the PAST but because she loves him and has faith in the man he really is, she doesn’t allow it to affect the way she feels about him. So I would love for Killian to find out that Emma has learned the truth about who Milah is and his history with Neal and be convinced that means that she won’t choose him. But then when Emma tells him that it doesn’t matter because that was in the past and she is choosing him because she knows that he is a man of honor and good form and he looks confused she can say to him “Does that surprise you?”
Did anyone else’s CS shipper heart melt when Emma asked Killian if he thought she would really save Henry and he told her “I’ve yet to see you fail.” I thought his whole speech was sfdgfhjgjhgjyghgj!!!, but that part literally made my heart hurt in a good way . . .
