I’m not too concerned if Emma leaves him. Because the directors did say at the paley fest that he would turn up unexpectadely in a fun way. But I have a feeling that she might take him along anyway, otherwise how else will he get back to SB without getting hit by another car, and he doesn’t even know the way.
MysteryKat25 – I can tell you now that Emma/Neal aren’t ‘endgame’. Henry can still have noth his parents, they just wont be together. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. My mother was married before she met my father and she had my older sister with her first husband. She still stays in contact with him (only for my half sister), but it works for us. I know that they say that this is a ‘family show’, but I think some people are taking that way too literally. You can still be a family and have divorced parents.
As for the love triangle. Well, let me start off by saying that when Neal told Emma he was engaged, the look she had was hurt. But that hurt wasn’t because she loves him or wants to get back with him (as Rumple said – he was only manipulating her though. Hes quite good at that, as he did create the curse), Emma was hurt because for 11 years she has lived with his betrayal, and has been unable to trust anyone else or get close to anyone because of him. Now she meets him again and she finds out that while she was living with her pain and putting her walls up etc. Neal is off getting engaged and happy. That was my first thought when I saw her reaction. And I’m not saying this because I know that Emma/Hook are true love. It was all in her expression. And also the fact that it was already stated that she doesnt love him.
Ok, back to the love triangle. I think there will be one. Neal might still have feelings for Emma. But I think the triangle would be more about Henry. Neal wants to be in Henry’s life and he’ll be fighting for that. Because as soon as Hook/Emma get together, (and I’m just guessing here) Neal may be seeing less of Henry. So his target is to be with Henry, not with Emma (but its possible that he may fight for Emma too).
I personally don’t like Neal. And this has absolutely nothing to do with me wanting Hook/Emma. Neal is a coward just like his father, and he is extremely selfish. In ‘Manhattan’ when he sees Emma, rather than apologise or be nice to her at least, he starts yelling at her for bringing his father here. After everything he has done to her. He only thinks of himself, and I can’t stand that.
I just wanted to get all that out. Get ready for some major Captain Swan ‘feels’ in the upcoming episodes! 😀
Also, I just wanted to add. Something big, major happened between Emma/Hook. The way everyone was so smug and acted like they knew something. So my guess is they filmed a kiss scene with Emma/Hook or they have read a script for an upcoming episode that they haven’t filmed yet that includes Emma/Hook first kiss. There’s being smug, then theres being very smug, and then theres being over the top smug – and they definately reached over the top smug.
