So I re-watched the episode last night. I actually really loved the episode except for the Killy scene with the Charming family. I don’t necessarily think Emma was OOC but can the man get a break? Seriously? I can understand her being upset but she is being a huge hypocrite and I think her saying she can’t trust him anymore took it way too far. I also noticed she was inconsistent with what she called him. When Zelena first took Henry and blamed it on him Emma said something like “Hook what is she talking about?” while after Zelena was gone and she confronts him she calls him Killian. Any thoughts on why she did that?
It feels like the Charming family took on the role of the Hook Haters in the show this episode. What exactly were they accusing him of doing/lying about with regards to the message? Did they really think he could be working with Zelena to bring Emma back to Storybrooke? How does that make ANY sense when she obviously had her own plan to deal with Emma (Walsh). Instead of calmly discussing it like adults they had to assume the worst that Hook was double crossing them. I wonder if it will ever actually come out who sent the message? The only person at this point that can reveal it is Rumple and his remembrance of it is questionable as well.
After all of that I can totally see Hook “giving up” in a way. All of that progress he worked so hard to achieve with Emma was wiped away instantaneously despite him doing his best in a bad situation. Emma should be thanking her lucky stars Hook intercepted Henry while he was running away but of course that information was conveniently left out… It always felt like Henry wasn’t properly protected because Emma insisted on lying to him. Ugh I am so annoyed. I really don’t care about there not being TLK but this was such a huge unnecessary step backwards. As I said before though at least based on the promo he is still part of the group despite his lack of “trustworthiness”
If the kingdoms were separated how did Hook escape the curse?
On a positive note I do think this is all just angst for plot purposes. I don’t doubt that Hook/Emma are true loves. The payoff will be sweet once it finally happens 🙂 Hopefully we get something next week!
The promo looked intense. Looks like Zelena does get her hands on the baby and Hook is hurt somehow. Would be interesting if he gets injured protecting Emma or one of her family members. The writers have basically created the situation where Hook really can’t do anything else to prove himself to Emma aside from sacrifice his own life to save her/someone she cares for. I wonder how Dorothy plays into all this?
