They both have their moments of immaturity, I think. Hook was kind of a poop early in the episode, and then Emma was pretty harsh at the field. I think it’s just a defense mechanism and they’re both going to have to come to that realization. Both of them have been hurt, and both of them have done things that the other might be hurt by. But they’re getting there, slowly but surely. Frankly, Hook should be a little abrupt with her. She needs a kick in the pants more often than not when it comes to the ‘touchy feely’ stuff.
I do like that Hook stood up to Emma when she called him on lying to her. Which he didn’t. She knows him well enough to know when he agreed to her “swashbuckling” statement that he’s appeasing her. And, frankly, if Hook doesn’t want to talk about the missing year with Emma, he doesn’t have to, even if she doesn’t like it. And his reasons could be because he’s protecting her, or because it’s to sensitive for him to discuss right now. Why does he have to lay everything at Emma’s feet when she plays the ‘selective info’ card often enough. I think it was great to show that moment between them, and see them recover and move on with their mission. It shows whatever is going on between them, they still have each other’s back and will continue to do so.
