Hook’s actions at the end of 311 can quite easily be classified as assault. He didn’t consider it that way, (and I get why he kissed her and it was in character for him), but from Emma’s point of view, her reaction was totally justified, especially considering that he could have posed a threat to Henry for all she knew.
If a strange man with a hook knocked on my door and forcibly tried to kiss me, I’d also kick him where the sun don’t shine! I know Snow and Belle didn’t remember their respective guys either, but as Phee pointed out, Snowing and Rumbelle were established as really loving their men before they got amnesia. Yet, CS fans are already claiming that SF is basically dead in the water and sending out wedding announcements for Emma and Hook’s upcoming nuptials. Um, excuse me? At no point has Emma let on she loves Hook! If anything, she’s repeatedly said she loves Neal! *sigh* The last I checked, Emma Swan was still single, yet about to go have a lunch date with the man she truly loves until Peter Pan’s confounded curse got in the way again. It will be so epic when, as I predict, Hook’s attempts to try TLK on Emma continuously fail, and what stirs Emma’s beliefs is the SwanFire dream catcher combined with the BF’s magic elixir.
Ever since that steamy kiss which Hook coerced from Emma as “payment” for saving Charming, there have been no clear signals that Emma wants to kiss Hook again, let alone that she’s ready for a committed relationship with him. If anything, she told Hook that it was just a kiss. When he insisted she must choose and that he would win her heart, Emma rebuffed Hook in favor of saving her son! Ever since then she’s hardly said two words to him. When she tried to ask for his inside knowledge of dream shade in 3×8, Hook refused to tell her anything, because he was still sulking over being rejected. To to it all off, Hook made a failed drunken pass at Tinkerbell and tried to pass it off as an actual hook-up to arouse Emma’s jealousy. Yet, Emma looked at him like he was a juvenile boy. I could almost hear her audibly saying, “really?” as she was about to go have lunch with Neal.
