I think I know where this is going he has to push her away, he’s gonna pretend to be a jerk & Emma’s gonna think he’s like every other guy she’s met who ends up breaking her heart. I wouldn’t be surprised is he pulls back when she tries to kiss him & he tells her he doesn’t love her & that she was wrong about him. Then Emma’s trust in him will be shattered, she’ll be completely hurt & be left wondering why he did all this. It won’t be until the finale if we’re lucky that this problem gets solved.
I really hope not- I dont mind a couple of eps where Emma is trying to figure out what is up with him (ie. she has a little faith that ‘something’ is wrong in ‘general’-rather than it being ‘him’ that is wrong), as if you are right, it wont jive very well with the recent JMO interview where she said Hook is instrumental in helping Emma take down the WW :/
