I agree @rumplegoldfan 🙂 I really hate hearing the argument that Hook doesn’t really love Emma and only cares about ‘the taco side’ of things. I’m sorry but there is absolutely zero evidence that’s how Hook works. He truly loved Milah. If he was only concerned about ‘tacos’ I doubt he would have gone through all the trouble to avenge her murder. Taking on that cause speaks volumes.
I also really believe that Hook’s learned how to fall in love better this time around as you said. He isn’t acting impulsively and is really taking into consideration Henry. He backed away in 3A to give Emma and Neal a chance to mend fences even though he knew it wasn’t likely. And I love the idea that Hook thinks of Henry as an extension of her and therefore, will also be there for him as well.
Hook’s not a selfish character anymore guys. He cares about other people. He’s changing for the better.
[adrotate group="5"]This is an excellent recap. I cried reading it. http://nerdygirlnotes.com/2014/03/31/tv-time-once-upon-a-time-3-15/
Wow. Just. Wow. I have never before cried reading a recap of a show before but I just sat here with Kleenex sobbing like a baby. This is the BEST thing I have read so far about the episode – things I didn’t even think of that kept making me nod my head “yes, yes.” The way Neal died actually makes SENSE to me after reading this whereas before I found it to be mostly weird and random. This recap shows it to be a seriously profound statement. I doubt the SF shippers are ready to read this yet or are ready to read it and look at it objectively, but I hope they will because it might make them feel a little better. It shoes how Neal’s death was a HUGELY symbolic thing for himself, Emma, Rumple, the Stiltskin family curse, etc. It shows that it wasn’t just random. I actually have a newfound respect for A and E as well as for MRJ after reading this now that I better understand the death.
Just. Wow.
As a mom to a 12 year old boy who has a second husband who stepped in to the “father” role in my son’s life since his bio dad is not in his life, I can’t wait for the upcoming CaptainCobra scenes. And I can confirm from a real life perspective that those scenes will NOT be about CS but will be about a man stepping up to fill a role that is desparately needed in a young man’s life. A man CANNOT fake interest in a child in order to score points with mom – it is obvious, trust me. And I am just talking from a situation where a child has been abandoned by his bio father not one in which there has been a death and the man stepping in to fill the role of the father loved the missing dad as well. Henry is going to be one very lucky kid in terms of what he is going to get from Hook. Hook wanted to be a father to Bae and regretted that he was never able to do so/made a huge mistake with him. How much more of an effort do you think he is going to put forth in fathering Henry for that reasom ALONE?? Than add in the fact that he will want to do it to honor Bae’s memory AND he will want to it because he loves Emma and Henry is a part of Emma, plus he doesn’t want to make the same mistake he made with Milah again – only loving the woman and not insisting on taking the entire package even if SHE didn’t want to. That man is going to be the most dedicated father figure any one has ever seen – and he is going to make darn sure Henry knows all about Neal – with or without his memories. CS has NOTHING to do with this relationship which is what makes it so beautiful to me.!!
All of this 🙂 I am so looking forward to these scenes.

I love your post. My Dad was around, but never had what it took to be a “Daddy” when I needed it. I don’t know where my life would be, if it were not for my stepdad. I love the idea of seeing Henry and Hook bond this way.

Now, I have two things I need to read after I watch the episode. But yeah, nothing is ever random when it comes to Once. Everything happens for a reason.

Hook’s never really had to be responsible for anyone but himself for a long time (notwithstanding his crew who he lost in NL). Just the fact that he’s stepping up and doing the right thing says a lot about his true character.
I agree @rumplegoldfan I really hate hearing the argument that Hook doesn’treally love Emma and only cares about ‘the taco side’ of things.
I find this so amazing… i’m sure there are other women in SB if this is all he was interested in… and if that was all he was interested in with only Emma, I dont think ‘making a taco’ is worth going back to NL, facing a terrible Villian with the serious potential of dying. Really now! I am really starting to think SF fans are just terribly young.
Lol! Men that sexy don’t need to work that hard if that is all they are looking for.
The Knave was my favorite part of OUATIW so I would be happy with him coming aboard. I find it interesting though that they are already pegging him as a regular for S4. That seems too early unless A&E were already pre-planning in case of a Wonderland cancel. I remember reading a previous interview about it being difficult to bring characters on from Wonderland because the timelines are not the same right now. It will be interesting to see how they work him in.
I doubt he would be yet another love interest for Emma on screen. I suppose some people could possibly ship though anyway, potentially out of spite even. There is definitely a lot of Hook hate out there. To be honest though I am hoping some people start to come around with the events of 3B, the reveal of Hook’s last year, as well as the pain of Neal dying too soon subsiding a bit. I shipped Emma and Graham back in the day and it was definitely tough when he died.
Sorry but I just can’t Xd..another person in the triangle? that’s pretty much overdoing it… lol.. and yes, those who would ship it as early as now just wants to ship it due to hate. They are hating on almost everyone (esp Adam) on the Neal death… I am truly sorry for his loss, I am saddened by that episode, but come on, attacking anyone is just not cool. SOrry
I don’t watch Wonderland ( Never liked the story when I was a kid, sorry), so I don’t know what kind of character this is, but if he is going to join, what would his purpose be? Any ideas?
Okay, wait. So is someone suggesting this person from OUaTiW might be a potential love interest for Emma??
I don’t watch OUaTiW but when I clicked on the link and saw the guy my initial reaction was that he and my 12 year old would enjoy playing Minecraft together at his next birthday party.
Please excuse me while I take a moment to wipe the tears from my eyes after the good laugh I have just had at the thought of Emma Swan deciding THIS guy is her Tallahassee.
I wonder if Jane will get to write the episode where Emma goes to jail again . . . for statutory rape.
