How did Hook get to NYC?

[RumplesGirl]

I don’t think Hook thinks it’s a trap–as in he is playing Emma. I can’t see him doing that. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a trap. So Hook might be played by whoever sent that message.

I like the Ariel idea. If they all returned to where they came from, then she’s probably a mermaid in the waters of the EF again.

One of the recent articles hinted that we would indeed find out about Hook and how he came to NYC. Guess it might involve Blackbeard and Ariel. Why else bring Ariel back for that episode?

[RumplesGirl]

I think it’s possible that Hook will have to fight Blackbeard for the ship and that Blackbeard might have a way to leave

I think you all are on to something with Blackbeard and Ariel as the way he gets to our world.

When it comes to who sends the message, I think Rumple or Neal. I know Hook somehow found them all at Neal’s building in Season 2, when he poisoned Gold.  We aren’t completely sure that he knew Neal’s address and went there. He is a pirate from the EF, so understanding all about addresses would probably be a little complicated for him.  This is why I’m thinking Neal sent the message & gave him some specific info. about NYC, since he knows it so well.

The other option is Rumple, since he obviously knew Neal’s NYC address. Also, he is probably captured by the witch & know’s her plans.

Agreed, 3princesses, the note with the address makes the most sense if it came via Neal or Rumple, (I’m sure Rumple has Neal’s address emblazoned on his brain, considering it’s the exact location he’d searched for for so long). Unless there’s someone else out there with a very specific locator spell.

Zelena could get the address out of Rumple if she’s got his Dagger and is controlling him, but as it seems that Walsh’s job was to keep Emma oblivious, Zelena sending the address note doesn’t make much sense.

I posted this theory in another thread, but I’ll repost it here because of its possible relevance. Maybe Aurora could have sent a message to Hook. She knows him and believes he cares for Emma. Plus, Aurora and Philip seem to be “in the know” about the Wicked Witch. They could have easily tipped off Hook just before Zelena cast the curse.

I think this might be spot on.

We know Aurora has some guilt over not telling Snowing about the WW in the castle. She has a good heart and I think it’s going to get to her. So the question becomes, well how did Philora get a message to Hook? In the story of sleeping Beauty, Aurora has three fairy godmothers. This is where it gets spoilery

we know Sarah Bolger was back on set for 319, also where we meet…GLINDA!!! I think Aurora gave Glinda the message and she delivered it to Hook

I  want Ariel to tow the JR like a sled dog.  Other than that I suppose maybe Rumple or Aurora could have sent a message.

True! She can world hope. That’s a good idea. (where is that mermaid?)

There’s still that other mermaid on the Jolly Roger, too.

Wooden objects, no matter who they once were, wouldn’t be very useful I would imagine, unless it were Pinocchio

Dunno about that. The last time Aurora saw Hook, he told Emma she was dried up and useless, then he sauntered away from Rumple’s cage with Cora, who was in possession of Aurora’s heart, which Hook had stolen as a means to use Aurora like a tool to trap them in Rumple’s cage, and prevent Emma and Snow from getting home. We saw no indication that Aurora interacted with Hook when they all got there in 312, for her to change her opinion of him, or learn how he feels about Emma. So honestly, I’d find it hard to believe if Aurora suddenly decided that Hook was a good bet to help them out.

If he was their last resort, only option, then maybe. I’d expect them to cooperate with him grudgingly though, because Aurora has those previous experiences with him, and I can’t imagine Philip wanting to work with someone who ripped his true love’s heart right outta her chest while she slept.

They do seem to be in the know a bit about Zelena though, so they could likely be in a position to be the ones sending a message.
