Also, for the love of all that is holy, can someone please explain to me where Hook got the money to buy the rock? Does he have a job? Does anyone have a job? How does money circulate into SB? Or does Regina print it? How does produce? Seriously, what is the political economy of this place– because I don’t understand it one bit.
I was wondering the same thing! The ex-pirate has been unemployed for a long time now and sponging off of his girlfriend. He was basically homeless before he got his ship back or moved in with Emma. Why don’t the writers give him a job already? It seems like he’s going to be in it for the long haul, so why not show him providing for his future family? Maybe Hook pawned one of his murder victims’ rings or had some stolen money put aside from when he and his crew acted as highway robbers during the missing year. I suppose we can be thankful that at least Hook didn’t give Emma a ring from one of his many murder victims, as I was fearful he might.
