I find the notion that magic-less Hook would go up against the magical Wicked Witch solo (without Regina or Emma’s magic as backup) to save his former nemesis, Rumple, really unbelievable. Hook may begrudgingly tolerate the Crocodile, but he’s not about to risk his own neck to save the dark one. That sounds like a theory that people who love his character put forward because they long for Hook to be a protagonist. Yet, just the other day, Adam tweeted that Hook is a flawed character. Just because he’s made strides towards redemption, it doesn’t mean he’s redeemed. He has yet to make any great sacrifice the way Rumple and Regina did in 3×11. Also, Regina relapsed into her Evil Queen ways in S2, and so might Hook relapse into his pirating ways in S3. Which is why I’m maintaining that Hook is secretly allied with Zelena. I agree with Phee, that in the end, Hook could regret this alliance and do the right thing though.
