Hook seems to me to be a man on a mission, and he’ll do whatever it takes for him to complete. His mission, to skin a particular crocodile. He’ll manipulate, bend and twist the rules to all his liking, so as he gets to Rumpel.
And was it shown that he was the one who took Aurora’s heart????? Perhaps he knows another witch or wizard that we haven’t met yet. Maybe there is an evil fairie there that know’s magic. Snow once said that there are dark fairies as well as the good, maybe Hook, along with his journeys, met up with one. If you know the tale of Peter Pan, you know Hook has dealt with fairies before.
I noticed Emma calling Charming David. She’s going to call him David because that’s what she has come to known him as. People back in town seem to go back and forth with him, some call him David, some call him Charming.
Oh, and I agree, Emma had one of the two best lines in the show. Her “I climbed a bean stalk for that, get your own!” And Charming’s “I faced you, how bad can it be!” line to Regina. Hilarious.
And I am really liking Rumpel now. I like that he is actually helping Henry, and Charming, surprisingly, and so far, he don’t care whats in it for himself.
Have to laugh at Granny though. She was probably afraid that the Gun Fight at the OK Corral was coming to her Diner. LOL!
