I don’t want to see Hook playing Rumple because we’ve already got Henry playing Rumple and it just seems a bit cruel that a character who does have issues with trust and honesty with others is only having their view reinforced by members of their family only using them. I’m a bit annoyed at Henry to be honest because what could have been a genuinely lovely family moment of Henry bonding with his paternal grandfather over his deceased father has now been reduced to Henry is only spending time with Rumple so that he can spy on him for Regina. I’m not keen on how the story has gone all gung-ho on the Henry/Regina relationship when previously Henry couldn’t be bothered to give Regina the time of day, now Emma, Rumple and Snowing aren’t even getting a look in. Henry and Regina needed to spend more time together, true, but not at the expense of the rest of Henry’s family.
Well in that situation, I’d have no issue with Hook playing Rumple considering what Rumple has done to him (both recently and over the years). However, I agree that I really hate having Henry spy on him for Regina! I want to hope that this is something that’s meant to show us how Regina is corrupting Henry–like maybe Henry’s desperate to keep Regina “good” (since he’s had to act more like the parent), so he’ll do whatever it takes. I just never would’ve thought Henry could sink to using his dead father to worm his way in with his grandfather under false pretenses! I mean the spying is bad enough, but using Neal that way to do it is just beyond awful.
