Regina has so much to be held accountable for yet it seems all her misdeeds get swept beneath the rug so if Rumple suffers, Regina should suffer too! I hope Hook isn’t blackmailing Rumple since Rumple is one of my favourites and I only really started liking Hook in 3B and don’t want him to backslide into Season 2 Hook territory. What I think would be more interesting is if Hook was trying to help Rumple dealing with the blackmail. Hook may figure out that, because of the fake dagger, Rumple actually had the means to kill Zelena. I don’t see Hook being upset that Zelena is dead. She cursed him and threatened Henry and Emma and was a risk to everybody. I want to see Hook trying to help Rumple and Rumple gives Hook his hand back as thanks. If Hook at least tries to help Rumple, I would love him even more.
I agree, I would love to see the two working together than one blackmailing the other. Blackmailing your enemy is so cliche. But the S3 finale showed that Robert & Colin have some excellent chemistry – I would love to see them very begrudgingly working together. With lots of snark and sass. I think they’ll realize fairly on they’re going to have to – for Henry’s sake. I think both men are going to show they want to be in Henry’s life (and no, not because Killian wants to get in his mother’s pants, because he actually wants to know Henry – yeesh! Thought I’d toss in some anti-Hook gibber gabber). And Henry is exactly the kind of person that would encourage them to work together. Heck, Henry’s the kind of kid that would set up some kind of situation to force them to work together!
First of all, I agree that Regina should have to deal with the “consequences” (to use the word that she throws around at everyone else) of her past terrible actions too! At least she has apologized to Belle and acknowledged that she was wrong. But the thing that everyone (especially Snow!) seems to forget is that she had King Leopold murdered. Snow apologized to Regina over and over for killing her mother, but I didn’t hear any apologies from Regina to Snow for having killed her father. And I think Rumple’s murder of Milah is in the same category. I don’t expect to see Rumple apologizing to Killian or anything, but I’d see it as more reasonable and/or realistic that the two could at least reluctantly work together if it seemed like Rumple at least realized that he was in the wrong and expressed some semblance of remorse for having murdered his wife because she dared to leave him after he made her life miserable. I don’t really expect either of those two grievances to be settled at this point in the story, but the lack of acknowledgement or remorse from both of them for their specific respective actions when they live in close proximity to those most hurt by those actions just bugs me. I definitely agree that scenes with them are a lot of fun though, so I’m looking forward to seeing what’s going on there regardless.
Agreed, I also want Regina to at least acknowledge that she & she alone is responsible for Emma growing up an orphan with a crappy life.
