I agree. And you’ve made some excellent points. I also think that along with the memory loss, Killians dark powers were tethered to Excalibur which until episode 7 was still in the stone. Perhaps his darker impulses were muted because the stone camouflaged the power that the sword was holding.
That’s my explanation for his actions.
I wonder if we are going to meet all of the people Hook has murdered.
