I think the bigger question is what this says about Hook and Emma’s relationship. She obviously does not trust him enough to let him in at all. She hid the shaking of the hands, she hid the visions, she even refused to let him help her with the bird. How did Hook handle all this, he got angry and went drinking at a bar. No discussions, no hey I know something is wrong and I am going to make you talk about it, just Okay whatever I will go my way and you go yours.
It’s interesting that you brought this up. Does anyone else think the line about Emma’s leather jacket in the opening CS scene held any kind of symbolism? She says she should take it off, which seems like a strange thing to say, because why would you focus on only one item of clothing in that situation? Hooks says to leave it on because he likes it. So is the jacket meant to symbolise Emma’s hang ups? Is this another subtle reference to the fact that Hook likes Emma’s walls, as he’s already admitted? Or are they attempting to show that Hook accepts Emma as she is, because the jacket is supposed to be an integral part of Emma?
