Don’t expect to see a Dark Supercouple anytime soon.
On Sunday’s Once Upon a Time winter finale (8/7c, ABC), Dark Swan Emma (Jennifer Morrison) will once again try to reason with her boyfriend, whom she had to turn into Dark Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) in order to save his life. “Hook is so angry with her for doing the one thing he asked her not to do, turning him dark, when he knew he would have no power over it,” O’Donoghue tells TVGuide.com. “He’s like a really pissed off-boyfriend.”
That said, Hook’s feelings for Emma make the situation complicated. The actor says, “You’ll get to see some of that in this week’s episode. You see with Rumplestiltskin and Belle and even with how Emma is with Hook, they still can love even within that darkness.”
Unfortunately, no one can hurt us as well as our loved ones. They know your weaknesses, what matters to you the most, and unfortunately, the episode description promises, “Hook’s actions will devastate Emma in a way no one saw coming.” Just great.
Check out the rest of our interview with O’Donoghue and watch the sneak peek of Hook confronting Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) at the end:

[adrotate group="5"]A “pissed-off boyfriend” doesn’t do to someone what Hook did to Emma. If you’re pissed off at someone, you either give them the silent treatment or you have a shouting argument about what it was that pissed you off. You don’t go for personal insults. You don’t go for something that would really hurt the other person emotionally. That sort of behaviour would break a relationship because it would destroy the trust within the relationship. Why would you be openly honest emotionally with your partner if you can’t trust them not to use it against you one day?
All magic comes with a price!

Well, people *do* do that in relationships–especially in TV–but you’re right that it would call into question the validity of the relationship, at least in a sensible reality, which OUAT (and, okay, most TV) is not.
I’m not thrilled that he’s describing someone who not only insulted an belitted another person but is trying to, essentially, kill their partners’ family as “pissed off boyfriend” because it’s still being so heavily romanticized.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"DO Rumple had every reason to be ticked off at Belle after she kicked him out of town using the dagger and then immediately started dating Will. He DID trick her to get the dagger back…but then EVERYTHING else we saw him do at that point to her/with her was kind. (Some found it creepy but it was still not cruel to put her in bed when she was under the sleeping curse or to get her heart back to her.)
DO Killian is being downright cruel to the woman he claims to love. The DO curse may make people push away their loved ones–Rumple HAS hurt Belle and hurt Bae, too, but even when Emma hurt Henry it was a side effect of their other goals–never the direct intention to inflict pain, even if they knew they were doing so. And when they did, they were shown trying to make up for it.
(One possible exception to this: Rumple’s murder of Milah…but I read that largely as being, at that point, a “side effect” of his guilt over Bae–not so much that he was still in love with her and heartbroken she’d left.)
DO Killian intentionally hurt Emma’s feelings because he wanted to get revenge on her for making him the DO. Unless he’s given another motive, I find this -really- troublesome against the idea that Captain Swan could be a “true love” couple.
