I’m fully expecting to have a soft spot for MRJ’s character, but haven’t seen enough of him yet to make my crush official.

I don’t think Hook’s omission supports the idea that Hook wants to use Emma romantically, since I don’t think he had any romantic notion towards Emma at their first encounter. Yes, his underlying reason to wanting to visit SB is to avenge Milha’s death by killing Rumpel, but that’s a highly personal thing to divulge to someone who’s interrogating you and as you’re facing being torn limb from limb by an ogre. Hook is a cunning pirate, and he’s not going to divulge his vulnerabilities about loving someone to Emma and her gang when they’re threatening his life. He wants to come across as a man who is in control and uses anger over a lost hand as motivation. He’s not going to be all soppy and tenderhearted while being interrogated. He’s going to say just enough to get them to spare his life.
Agreed. I didn’t have any issue with how he did or didn’t act, he was pretty much as expected at this stage IMO. If he does end up developing a flirtatious relationship with her, I think it’ll be because he’s attracted to her feisty nature and the fact that she challenges him.
