Ok, so I just have to say that this episode was AMAZING! It was SO interesting and heartbreaking to get Rumple’s backstory and even to learn who Peter Pan truly is. Crazy but awesome! Even though it wasn’t a CS centric episode, there was a little moment between them that I enjoyed seeing. It’s really telling to me that the writers are making sure that each episode so far this season has some type of interaction between Hook and Emma. This episode, of course, was no different.
I really liked that Emma asked Hook about his brother in an effort to save her father from having to stay in Neverland. The way she kindly noted that she knew it would be difficult for him to talk about it (or something like that) was very considerate of her. I hope we get to see more of her reaching out to him for advice/help or even just to learn more about who he is.
