I mean look at the scene in the last episode…I love Rumple but why was he such a jerk towards Hook? Making a big deal about how he COULD destroy the cave but it would also destroy his girlfriend???
Relationships aside, Emma is the mother of Rumple’s grandson. How would Henry feel if he knew that Rumple did nothing to try and help and save his mother? And knowing that Rumple and Henry will be bonding this season, will that come up again?
I actually wonder if they are working toward having Hook and Rumple ultimately bond in some way.
I have a sneaking feeling that we’re heading that way this season. What else is there for Rumple and Hook to fight over at this point? Hook let go of his vengeance, so that’s not between them anymore. If anything, I think Hook will be the one to help Rumple realize that the way he is treating Belle right now is wrong and wouldn’t that be something? The pirate and the Dark One’s rival ends up being conscious.
