She does need help, though why specifically I have yet to figure out. When we last saw her, she was in the field looking at the beans, so she has no issue getting to the beans. She was even holding one, still attached to the stalk, if I remember correctly. So why she needs Hook remains a mystery to me.
I’m thinking there are a few different possibilities:
1) As Regina somewhat creepily told Henry, she doesn’t have anyone else to talk to ever since Cora died. She’s lonely. She wants “companionship” and she favors Captain Hook.
2) Regina is onto Captain Hook and she is only pretending to ally with him to suss out what GOAT’s plans are.
3) She needs a scape-goat. Perhaps triggering the “fail-safe” requires some dirty work, but perhaps she doesn’t want to get her own hands dirty.
