….but if Bae had chosen to stay with hook, that wouldn’t have happened. As much as I love Bae to pieces, I find him partly to blame for his Neverland fiasco.
He was pretty adamant about not staying on the JR. But then the question is, should Hook, knowing how dangerous the Lost Ones are, have put his foot down and insisted that Bae was staying, if only for his own personal safety? Hook probably didn’t feel in a position to wield that sort of parental declaration though, given how Bae had knocked back the proposal of them being family. It’s an emotionally complex situation from both of their perspectives.

So while I think forgiveness to Hook is much easier and simpler than Rumple, I do think it’s a little bit more than a “I’m sorry.”
Hook’s turning that boat around was his, “I’m sorry.” He thinks he’s lost the final chance to ever say it to Bae’s face, but remembering this…
Hook: It’s not too late to start over. I can change, Bae…for you.
Bae: You say that, but I know you’ll never change, because all you care about is yourself.
…made him turn that ship around and finally change, do the right thing, for Bae, and his family, even though Bae’s gone and will never know about it, (as far as Hook knows, given that everyone thinks Nealfire is dead). It’s a massive gesture on his part, and it will be interesting to see how readily Nealfire accepts it when they do meet up again, (which I’m sure they will).
