Well, still no sign of Neal. He wasn’t in any of the flashbacks, nor was he the hooded figure in SB. Despite the lack of Neal, it was interesting that Emma flat out accused Hook of lying. He said he was sticking with the story he told. Yet, we could tell last week in 1×13 that he’d changed his story, and Emma’s brow furrowed. What exactly is Hook hiding? Does it involve knowledge about Neal’s whereabouts? Hook said in Mary Margaret’s kitchen that Neal might be a flying monkey, so I’m thinking that is another misdirection. I’m so annoyed with this pirate right now, because he clearly is lying about his “adventures'” of the missing year, and I think, is hiding something about Neal. Right now, I don’t trust Hook or anything he tells the Charmings. I’m SOOO glad Emma seemed put off by his obvious advances. He stood so close to her, almost beckoning for another kiss, yet she just upped and walked off. I’m glad that Emma’s emotions aren’t clouding her judgement. Finally! She’s able to see through the I’m-here-to-save-you story.
