This isn’t strictly SF-related but I’ll add it here since it potentially has SF-implications:
Yep, that really is Hook in New York, and yes he really is trying to get Emma to remember her real life – you know the one where her parents are royalty and she’s really a kickass princess and saviour of the world? When put in those terms, we can understand just how hard it’s going to be for Hook to get through to Ms Swan. Maybe a kiss will seal the deal? Probably not, Killian! [x]
Sounds to me like confirmation of what we’ve all be been saying here since 3×11. It won’t be a kiss from Hook that awakens Emma; it’ll be a potion plus a talisman which finally jogs Emma’s memories. That also suggests that Hook is unable to awaken Emma by a kiss because her true love is someone else….Neal.
