Sounds to me more like they are trying to parallel when Neal received the “Broken” message and chose NOT to do anything about it. Hook will get a message and even though he may have been warned just like Neal by Snow (and previously by August) that it is better to leave Emma alone, Hook will make the right decision and go get her. The interesting plot twist would be if he is being set up.
Ohh, I like that one! Ok, I’ll accept that. It was oddly worded so I can understand the ambiguity and reading what you want to read into it but there’s simply no way at this point Hook would intentionally do something to hurt Emma. And I can’t imagine what WW or anyone else would have that would even make Hook pause. If he didn’t take Pan’s deal in 3×5 and he told everyone where Neal was in 3×6 and HELPED Neal in 3×6 and risked his life in 3×11…for Emma…what’s someone going to tempt him with? Riches? He’s got it. Power? He’s captain of his own ship, and I don’t ever remember “World Domination” being on his to-do list. All he wants is Emma. (Getting there!) Acceptance (Won over Daddy Charming!) Family/Sense of Belonging (Hook and Henry are bonding – THAT part of the article wasn’t ambiguous!!)
hmm…I seem to be suddenly quite defensive of my pirate! 🙂
