I guess I’m the opposite because while they did flirt and banter more this episode, I think the ending effectively sunk any chance of CaptainSwan, not that I thought it would go beyond flirting and bantering anyways because of Hook being in cahoots with Cora. Yes, maybe he was telling the truth about helping out Emma and Company if she got the compass first, but I for one didn’t believe him, and was proud that Emma did the right thing in not trusting him. It doesn’t matter now because I think Emma is now on Hook’s list of people to get revenge against.
Plus, I saw parallels between Milah/Hook and Emma/Bae, so I’m not sure if they would set up a true love triangle between Bae/Emma/Hook. Of course, Milah/Hook and Emma/Bae are partners in crime, but what really got to me was showing the depths of the true love that these pairings have/had. In “The Crocodile”, I wasn’t really sure about Hook’s feelings for Milah. I think he did love her, but it seemed like she loved him more than her. However, after tonight I do believe that they were each other’s true loves.
I guess that’s the main reason that Hook/Emma doesn’t work for me because it can’t really work as a fling because Hook is working for Cora, and Emma isn’t that kind of character. It can’t work as true love because they both already have a true love. So I can’t really get invested in the possibility even if I did think they have chemistry, which unfortunately I do not.
I don’t see that, I think this episode just opened the door. I think Hook wasn’t in the wrong at all this episode. I don’t think he was lying at any point I think he’d rather have stayed with with Emma and her group than have to return to Cora. I don’t think it was that he was working for Cora I think it’s that Cora was the only way he can get to Rumple and really I that was his only priority. I think he was starting feel something for Emma and Emma was starting to feel something for him but she simply shut down again. Rather than take a chance that he was being sincere ,before he got close enough to her emotionally she trapped him and left him like her mamma told her before about that wall she puts up. It was really sad to see actually what her experience with Neal led her to do to Hook when she felt herself getting close to him. I really hope Hook shows up for Emma in the end, the worst thing is that Hook actually allowed Emma to cloud his judgment that’s why he took her hand and gave Emma the chance to trap him. It was really heart-wrenching to see Hook try to convince Emma not to do what she ended up doing…
