One of the girls on the Captain Swan podcast said awhile back that they didn’t want Snow to be Team Captain Hook by default and after watching the episode last night, I kinda feel the same way.
Don’t get me wrong, I want Snow to like Hook; I do but she was this way with Neal too without even bothering to get to know him or even have a conversation with him.
Charming at least has had many chances to get to know Hook through them working together (Good Form, White Out), and realize, underneath all that leather and guyliner, there’s a gentleman and a hero. Hook is more complex than your average pirate.
I want Snow to actively make an effort to get to know Hook and come to genuinely like him. I hope Adam and Eddy make a conscious effort to show Snow taking an interest in Hook (not romantically of course) but as a friend.
I do think now after watching the episode that Snow is Team Happiness for Emma and it doesn’t really matter who Emma is with as long as she’s happy; which is a good stance to take. I ‘ship Emma with happiness too but I want more than that from Snow. Hook needs to be accepted and cared about by all of the Charming family.
