Man, not a ot of people liked this it seems. Thrown me in the camp of not liking the story if it was just King George who did it. And yes, this stirs up drama. It’s a show that has drama. And let’s not just condemn the writers before they even do anything yet. I fully expect their to be repercussions and while I doe expect everyone to forgive him eventually, especially because they already know he’s killed people in the past and he obviously didn’t know who he was killing before, he’s still going to get a ton of backlash and this is going to seriously affect his relationship with Emma, Charming, and probably everybody. It’s probably why we may not get a CS wedding until the end of the season. If none of this plays out and they all just forgive him, then fine, condemn the writers. But for now, I thought it was a fun twist and it’s going to really test the Charming clan, especially Emma, about whether or not they can really forgive someone for what they used to be. This is a huge murder. It feels like the ultimate final test for everyone to fully accept Hook and his past misdeeds and for Hook to fully be redeemed. One final hurdle. And it’s a big one.
