Yes, I’m sure the folks in the chat are right. What they cut out was the part where Hook and the wench are heavily making out/having the EF version of tavern alley phone sex before Hook decides to walk back into the tavern, go get some money, and come back out to repay her for “partial” services. Because that’s the kind prime time family show OUaT is.
And exactly where do they think he would have wanted to leave to, to go get the money? Unless he would’ve immediately clocked somebody for it, he would have had it on him. It’s not like he would have dashed out to make a bank withdrawal, or run out to his car to unlock his glove box. LOL! 😀
