Also, I laughed out loud when Emma kneed Hook in the gonads! It was seriously a funny way to end the winter finale.
I said this last night in the chat but it was a nice comic moment to relieve the tension from ALL THE THINGS THAT JUST HAPPENED.
Also, I still think Emma, who embodies true love, should have had her memories jolted when Hook kissed her, not because they’re true love, but because Emma embodies true love. Yes, she doesn’t remember him or believe she’s the savior, buy that shouldn’t matter to someone as inherently powerful as Emma. She didn’t even have to try to awaken Graham; she just did it even before she accepted her true identity or believed in magic in S1
Excellent point
There were so many other Rumbelle parallels like Belle saying to Rumple she would see him again being compared to Neal saying he would see Emma and Henry again that I wouldn’t be surprised if this is how the writers have crafted it to be
