More #OnceUponATime title spoilers. pic.twitter.com/Sz8BlLJjxC

I’v been busy working all day, am just seeing the title!! So anything I say next, ignore since it’s probably been said already.
This screams Captain Swan to me. Why, because Christine Boylan wrote Tallahassee and ‘good form’ sounds like we’re going to get a sword fight. Maybe Hook will teach Emma some sword moves and then, my mind just went straight to the gutter…
[adrotate group="5"]lol, Obisgirl. It’s for SURE a Captain Hook episode, whether or not it goes CS I don’t know but we know they’re at least teasing CSF so maybe!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Good Form (maybe also good behaviour). Different than Nast habits. Anyways…Hook must be in good form, trained by his father of the Navy. So maybe we are going to see Liam in this episode. Hooks training by his father in the past and hook training Emma in present day.
Yes! Liam’s casting call is specifically for 305 so I think this title confirms that he is Hook’s adopted/biological father.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"@Lily65675 yes!

Look! We’re not crazy.
NOW WHAT IS IT DOING ON THE DESK!!?!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"“Good form Peter, Good form.”
Is it bad that I can hear and see Dustin Hoffman. I am really getting a hankering to watch Hook.
LOVE this as the title for Hook’s ep! Bet we’re gonna see in flashback who said it to him, causing him to adopt the phrase for himself.
I’ve recently been liking the theory that they’ll go with a Dread Pirate Roberts thing for how he became a pirate. Taken prisoner by a pirate Captain, and then became his apprentice. I could imagine such a pirate to be fighting YoungKillian and be impressed by his “good form” and that’s why he doesn’t kill him and instead makes him a member of his crew.
As for the key, the one in the photo may be the one with the apple, but all the other keys on that keyring have SKULLS on them, which is totally piratey, Hook even wears a skull pendant.
Hook’s obsession with “good form” is a holdover from his higher education. It was ingrained in him from an early age that those who possessed “good form” often did not know it and that was why it was considered good form. Bad form is the highest insult of all to Hook and he spends much time fretting over his own possible fall towards bad form.

Passages from Peter and Wendy where Hook’s obsession with “good form” is referenced…
Hook was not his true name. To reveal who he really was would even at this date set the country in a blaze; but as those who read between the lines must already have guessed, he had been at a famous public school; and its traditions still clung to him like garments, with which indeed they are largely concerned. Thus it was offensive to him even now to board a ship in the same dress in which he grappled her; and he still adhered in his walk to the school’s distinguished slouch. But above all he retained the passion for good form.
Good form! However much he may have degenerated, he still knew that this is all that really matters.
From far within him he heard a creaking as of rusty portals, and through them came a stern tap-tap-tap, like hammering in the night when one cannot sleep. ‘Have you been good form to-day?’ was their eternal question.
‘Fame, fame, that glittering bauble, it is mine,’ he cried.
‘Is it quite good form to be distinguished at anything?’ the tap-tap from his school replied.
‘I am the only man whom Barbecue feared,’ he urged; ‘and Flint himself feared Barbecue.’
‘Barbecue, Flint—what house?’ came the cutting retort.
Most disquieting reflection of all, was it not bad form to think about good form?
His vitals were tortured by this problem. It was a claw within him sharper than the iron one; and as it tore him, the perspiration dripped down his tallow countenance and streaked his doublet. Ofttimes he drew his sleeve across his face, but there was no damming that trickle.
To tell poor Smee that they thought him lovable! Hook itched to do it, but it seemed too brutal. Instead, he revolved this mystery in his mind: why do they find Smee lovable? He pursued the problem like the sleuth-hound that he was. If Smee was lovable, what was it that made him so? A terrible answer suddenly presented itself: ‘Good form?’
Had the bo’sun good form without knowing it, which is the best form of all?
He remembered that you have to prove you don’t know you have it before you are eligible for Pop.
With a cry of rage he raised his iron hand over Smee’s head; but he did not tear. What arrested him was this reflection:
‘To claw a man because he is good form, what would that be?’
‘Bad form!’
‘Now!’ cried all the boys; but with a magnificent gesture Peter invited his opponent to pick up his sword. Hook did so instantly, but with a tragic feeling that Peter was showing good form.
Hitherto he had thought it was some fiend fighting him, but darker suspicions assailed him now.
‘Pan, who and what art thou?’ he cried huskily.
‘I’m youth, I’m joy,’ Peter answered at a venture, ‘I’m a little bird that has broken out of the egg.’
This, of course, was nonsense; but it was proof to the unhappy Hook that Peter did not know in the least who or what he was, which is the very pinnacle of good form.

That episode with the key involved Katherine’s framing and the bloody knife. Maybe Hook is framed and joins the pirates? Or his father was framed as having left Hook behind?

Love the Dread Pirate Roberts idea! (ps: for those who don’t know this reference and the “good form” reference, you simply MUST watch “Hook” and “The Princess Bride” before 305). In the Princess Bride, Wesley is able to save himself by telling his story of his true love; so maybe Hook makes a passionate plea about being able to live due to his fighting skills.
That key….that key! I don’t even know.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"So the key guesses so far:
1) It’s a clue that Rumpel’s dagger is in MM apartment.
I doubt Rumpel would leave his dagger behind if going on a suicide mission, he would need all his powers. He had to use the dagger to call the wraith.2) It’s a skeleton key and Hook is a pirate who used to have a magic key that Regina stole
Seems convoluted. Hook more likely has pickpocket skills.It’s a symbolic reference to a storyline about someone being framed
Maybe that’s how Hook became a pirate, he was framed for something he didn’t do and had to run away to be a pirate.it’s just random because the other keys had skulls and Hook is a pirate and Adam is messing with us
Most likely this!“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be.
