I think it’s possible instead of going after Regina directly, Tamara and Greg will enlist Hook to take care of Regina for them so they can continue to be all sneaky in Storybrooke and out of Emma’s radar, but Regina, already knowing who Greg is and why he’s there and with Hook’s sudden re-appearance will probably turn on Hook before he ever has a choice to take Regina down (suspecting that maybe he is working for someone else, probably Greg but not suspecting Tamara)…
which will lead Hook to switching to the Charming's side in the finale.
but another twist could be that Hook reveals all to Regina and instead of letting Tamara and Greg run amok and destroy everything, she proposes something different: he work with her and the Charmings to take down Tamara and Greg.
it would parallel nicely with the FT flashbacks of Regina really becoming The Evil Queen, she's trying to do something good in Storybrooke to redeem herself.
[adrotate group="5"]April 24, 2013 at 4:25 pm #188350RumplesGirlKeymasterInteresting. All of those seem so possible. 😆
My personal theory of how I see it playing out is Hook and Regina working together to take down GOAT and then they can work either independently or together to take down the CharmingStiltskins and then when it is revealed that GOAT is after Henry and kidnap him the entire family and Hook have to come together. Henry is the only thing that would make them all come together.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"April 24, 2013 at 4:59 pm #188362kfchimeraParticipantI think it sounds very plausible. The one part I am not sure about is Greg. Is Greg’s goal larger than finding his father and maybe revenge against Regina? How much collateral damage is he willing to cause? I think Tamara is willing to go pretty far.

that is true. Henry would be the one thing that would bring the Charmings & Regina together.
April 25, 2013 at 7:47 am #188558swanning-offParticipantBut would Henry being kidnapped bring Hook into the Charming family fold? We know he fancies Emma, less clear whether that is just his go-to position on females or something more. He seems sympathetic when they're climbing the beanstalk and in Tiny's fortress to Emma wanting to get home to her son. And there's the fondness with which he spoke of the Lost Boys in Tallahasee as wel.
Maybe he would see GOAT kidnapping Henry as crossing a line. The pirate of fairytale and legend has a moral code buried deep beneath the pillaging exterior – think of Pirates of the Caribbean etc. Kidnapping a kid might be a step too far for Hook. I'd like that as a plot line, and it would explain the photos of the Charmings and Regina on the Jolly Roger with Hook.
April 25, 2013 at 1:57 pm #188599obisgirlParticipantYes, I agree. 😀

The village in EF that Cora slaughtered contained children. You see them in episode 2×03. There was no mention of a great mystery where no children's bodies were found, and I think Snow and Emma would have noticed something like that. That means Hook had no problem with letting her murder them. If Hook has already been okay with children being murdered, that's far worse than kidnapping one. So I don't think it's a general code for him.
April 26, 2013 at 12:18 am #188790AllThatGlittersParticipantSo I have been seeing a lot of people thinking that Hook will switch to the Charmings’ side based on the season finale pictures of them all on the boat. However, I’m wondering if Hook will NOT be on the Charmings’ side but go along with them to Neverland acting as an ally and possibly betraying them since he is out to get Rumple. I hope I am wrong since I think I can speak for everyone when I say that he sucks as a villain.

April 26, 2013 at 4:39 pm #188927obisgirlParticipantI hope you’re wrong too about that theory. It's much safer for Hook to be on the side of good at this point. I mean, he's tried to kill Gold, didn't work and I just hope he sees it's a lost cause at this point.

I unspoilered that part, since it’s comment on a past episode but I cut off where you get into spoilery stuff.
Hook may have had a problem, but been unable to prevent Cora going rage crazy. That may be why he double-crossed her in the first place by stealing her climbing spell. After all, it was risky for him to do that, and it isn’t like Snow & Co would have seemed more likely to get him to Rumpel. He commented something like they were “far safer company”. I think he wasn’t lying about that.
I think he may have limits, but I don’t see him giving up his revenge just yet. The writers haven’t given him new motivation yet, so why take away the driving arc for him? So as to that spoilery stuff: Even if children generally aren't a line for him, if he finds out that Henry is still Milah's grandson, that might trigger something in him.
