No Hook, don’t use Henry!!! 😮 Unless, you’re like using him to make grampastilskin jealous, cause you’re taking him out for ice cream.
Love that idea!
I don’t think he’ll use Henry at all. I think he was probably just going along with the reporter so as not to give away anything in the finale and he can’t really confirm or deny anything that might happen past that point so it’s always technically a possibility. However I think it highly unlikely. Henry is Milah’s grandson, Emma’s son, and depending on how good his relationship is with NealFire, Henry is Nealfire’s son as well so that’s 2, maybe 3 good reasons NOT to ever think of doing that.
I think we’ll see a different side of Hook and he may surprise us and actually interact well with children (wouldn’t that be a nice twist on the Peter Pan mythology!) and/or have learned something from the past so that he would never consider doing it again, ESPECIALLY with Milah’s grandson – just like I don’t think he’d do anything to purposefully let Bae get hurt because of his connection to Milah.
Neither scenario means that he’ll do the best job of protecting them in whatever circumstances they may find themselves in, but I do think he’ll try which will be the key there. The reporter can think / suggest whatever they wish but I hope that they don’t go down that road. So far, like it or not, Hook has been shown to (at least in present day) not have a wish to hurt those who are not directly connected to his plan. He kicked the fisherman-turned-fish into the water so he wouldn’t suffocate, gave Aurora’s heart back (which he only took temporarily to convince Cora not to kill him since she believed he turned on her and wanted to work with Emma – which I believe he did), and there’s no reason to think now that he would use Henry to get what he wants. Yes Rumple is family to Henry and hurting somebody Rumple cares about is the best way to get to him but he didn’t even kill Belle (he knew Rumple would heal her). For a pirate he’s not much into the killing unnecessary people thing, at least not in present day. He’s very focused on revenging Milah and I don’t think that hurting Henry in any way would accomplish that.
I really think he’ll be 100% on board with saving/protecting Henry no matter what. I do like the idea of him bonding with him. They could use the wooden swords again or go for ice cream like you said. That would irk Rumple but would also be cute/sweet! Plus he’ll totally love him because he’s got the adventurous spirit side from both Milah & Emma. How could he not? (ESPECIALLY if the added bonus is annoying Rumple)
