Yes Captain Hook such a iconic villain to see him reduce to his life goal now is to Win the girl, is just shocking. He has to have a story outside of Emma, and so far he has not.
They’ve completely swept all the possible conflict outside of Emma and CSF that Hook could have under the rug. He gave up his revenge against Rumple and that’s great but maybe the two could TALK? And Hook once had a heart to heart with Regina. Why not have one again, especially in light of 301 and that conversation at the wheel. We saw Hook hanging out with the dwarves at Granny’s in 310 which was odd because when last they dwarves saw him he was stealing the bean to leave the town to die! How did they get from point A to point B? Even after Regina saved Snow and Emma in 209, Grumpy was highly suspicious of Regina at the party in 210.
I’m just about tear up thinking about them all siting around a camp fire sharing funny memories and endearing stories about Emma, Henry, and Rumple.
:'( now I’m tearing up.
