    Let’s all be civil about this but….did Hook deserve to come back to life (by way of a god-blessing from Zeus)?

    It just doesn’t make sense. I like Hook, but this whole season has been worse than a telenovela.

    It is almost like the writers just have a dartboard with various mcguffins.

    No.

    I think Hook in this episode was the best I liked him since season 2. This was a perfect way to end his character on the show, if not by having him and Emma have one final goodbye. He didn’t need to be resurrected.

    My answer won’t surprise anyone but it’s a no. I don’t know that one deed (helping to stop Hades by putting some pages in a book) is enough to undo everything that has come before (and a lot has come before…including a lot of murders) because: does the punishment and reward system really work like that? If I murder my mother but rescue a cat from a tree are my sins wiped clean?

    I’m trying to see how Hook even helped in taking Hades down?

    Zelena would have made the choice of Regina over Hades without even seeing those pages, it told her nothing new because Hades had already explained to her it’s power! So how does Zeus think Hook assisted in killing Hades when Emma never killed him, and the pages literally played no part in it!

    The way I understood it….Hook put the pages into the book; the pages explained to Emma that a god can be killed with the Olympian Crystal.

    …which Zelena knew because Hades told her. So yeah, those pages played no part. Zelena didn’t need this vital information, only Emma/Regina did. So I guess Hook helped in the sense that the heroes needed to know but Zelena, the actual one to pull the metaphorical trigger, didn’t.

    So.

    Hm.
