If Hook’s going to help Emma fight an epic battle coming up, I think it’s safe to say, he’s probably not dying anytime soon. Side note: I am currently re-watching Season 7 of Buffy with my boyfriend, which can be summed up as Spike’s redemption arc season. He went from baddie, to chipped vampire, weird next door neighbor, bed buddy to Buffy’s friend and ally. I didn’t even like Spike when I originally watched the show and definitely was not a Spuffy ‘shipper but knowing how everything turned out, 11 years later, I am actually enjoying his character now and I think, I owe some of that appreciation to Hook and Once Upon a Time. He was there, fighting alongside Buffy ’til the very end and I love seeing coming up, that the same thing will be happening with Hook/Emma. He’ll be fighting alongside her until the end.
