Wow, just….wow! I came back and there’s lots more sneaks than expected!
Rumple & the Charmings – that whole scene was just…*sniff*; we see Emma telling Henry (once again off to the side, just seeing it while somebody else is in focus but I think that actually works well and we’re bound to get Henry’s reaction later on, poor little guy) and Rumple…poor Rumple.
Rumple, I know you’re hurting and you DO have a lot to answer for because of all the things you did to get him here but NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO STOP DOING MAGIC. You need to save the rest of your family! Bae would not want them all to die because you blame yourself at the wrong time.
Hopefully he’ll channel some of that toward a more appropriate channel, ie; Tamara and save the self-loathing for later.
Hook & Charming – yay, they’re working together! Did they really think that Greg was by himself and they had him cornered? Really? Tamara is the dangerous one here guys! And you apparently know this from Emma since you told Rumple that Tamara shot Neal. *sigh* At least they’re fighting TOGETHER and Hook, though once again on the floor *double sigh* is fighting to get the failsafe from Greg so he’s obviously chosen a side yay!!!
Hook & Bae – SO MUCH IN THIS! Where to start….
Ok so Bae, to start with, is being held captive but that actually makes sense as it’s a pirate ship and they don’t know him – at least they went to talk to him fairly early it seems, and he’s not tied up just being kept down there until they can analyze the situation – probably normal procedure on a pirate ship, never know who to trust, especially when you’re new in town and there’s a shadow stealing people all over the place lol.
Bae was rescued from “the curse of the mermaids” ?? That could mean so many things! Ideas so far:
1) The mermaids are a “curse” that Neverland has to endure (they are not nice creatures, though 1 *cough* Ariel *cough* could prove Hook / somebody else wrong
2) If you stay in the water too long / die in the water perhaps? Then you become a mermaid and are therefore “cursed” – perhaps in this story Ariel was once human, was somehow cursed to be a mermaid to survive and mermaids are inherently mean and she doesn’t want to be that anymore? Just a thought
Still an interesting line and I can’t wait to see how mermaids factor in to everything (we are totally getting mermaids in S3! We have to, too many mentions of it lately, especially with Neverland stuff).
And then there’s the turning point: Hook realizes who Bae is. Hook realizes who Bae is. I seriously think that until this moment he has no clue what to do with this kid but he’s intrigued by him. Bae mouths off, has obviously had some connection to pirates before (even though he’s wrong about the circumstances) and isn’t afraid to say he doesn’t like them.
Hook asks what happened to his dad and he says he left him *sniff* and calls him a COWARD! The look on Hook’s face, I just…did you SEE that look?? Wonder if he’s going to tell Bae the truth at some point (probably – will help down the line for Neal not wanting to see Rumple again and it would be the TRUTH which Bae deserves to know. Kinda sad when you think about it actually – the pirate will be honest with him where his father failed to be. And we’re not talking Dark One Rumple lied, we’re talking pre-Dark One Rumple, when Bae was a boy and his mother was gone. He spent his whole childhood thinking his mother was killed by pirates.)
I really think that after that moment we’ll see Hook be MUCH kinder to him. I still don’t think he has a clue what to do with kids, but Bae is old enough that he can learn a lot of things like driving the ship and swordfighting so I think Hook will find a way to have some fun with it and hopefully teach him stuff (like more about the mermaids??). Hook couldn’t destroy the shawl because Milah made it. He just realized this is Milah’s son (and also the son of the man that he hates – BUT the key here is that he is Milah’s son too and I think that Hook will see a lot more of Milah in him than he does Rumple and will bond with Bae over what happened and they will get along for a time at least).
SO EXCITED to see Hook actually working with the good guys for once and watching him bond with young Bae is going to be awesome! So many feelings right now, so many!
I’ve been begggggging for them to show a different side to him so that people will stop saying Hook fans are delusional for seeing any ounce of goodness in him back from Tallahassee but the way he spoke of the lost boys gives me hope that he’s not really as bad as people think. We can’t presume to know what the OUAT version of a story will be just because we know the classics. Bring on a softer, gentler Hook and one who is fighting with the good guys rather than against them! (Oh and Neverland. Bring on Neverland too!)
