Just got home, slightly exhausted, so a few thoughts
1) I ship Emma with “Not Hook” so if it’s SQ then I’m 100% on board. @Nevermore is right that it’s easy the most complex relationship on the show now that Neal is dead. It’s also what the writers are showing every season/week while claiming to “tell” CS.
2) Good on Bobby!
3) There’s a lot of truth in what Slurpeez has been saying—CS just grows in its toxicity and how outrageously bad it is. I just can’t see them abandoning it because it comes down to whether or not the writers recognize the toxicity of their ship. They may actually understand that it’s a truly horrifying romantic pairing (but then again, the white heterosexual male privilege is such that they can’t conceive of writing anything that isn’t “right”) and are only giving ABC what they want but in a way that makes the network mandated ship as ugly as possible. BUT….it doesn’t mean they are going to turn tail and run from it all of a sudden. Ah, to be a fly on the wall.
4) Since I know DSB and Macy won’t pop around to give a theory, I’ll do it for them (and I think Slurpeez knows this one. I think she and DSB talked about it once before): when Hook restored Emma’s memories in 3B (312) the potion was laced with the Sands of Avalon, the same roofie Arthur gave Gwen, which explain Emma’s behavior S3B-present, especially when it comes to Hook.
