That is weird because they have already said she was Gothel many times on screen.
It’s also weird because she’s not Eloise Gardener; she’s not actually a runaway teen that Hook’s been looking for. That was something she took on in order to break free from Victoria (at least that’s how it played out when I watched?)
I guess I think it’s weird because there isn’t actually an Eloise Gardener. The whole search was really WR!Hook looking for his daughter who is really Alice but goes by Tilly because the writers couldn’t have very well called her Eloise Gardener and had Hook searching for Eloise with the help of Eloise! That would be…nonsense.
