ParticipantI thought she said “Leather condition (as in conditioner for leather to keep it soft & supple) & eyeliner” @POM
IF I’m incorrect, then they shared a steamy kiss in NL, maybe she felt it then
That makes more sense surayya, though Hook’s hair does sometimes look soft and fluffy so both could work lol

lol – yes cookies for you. The grip she had on his collar, I’m sure she was able to tell how supple the leather was. 🙂

Participant[quote=260706]I agree Jenven. I will admit that I was a little bit disappointed seeing Hook trying to flirt with Emma in the sneak peek (though it was positively tame compared to some of his previous efforts)mainly because I felt it was too soon after Neal’s death because they literally buried Neal last episode (theoretically though there could be a time gap between the two episodes so hopefully they say if there has through dialogue). I absolutely loved Hook last episode, he was there for Emma and Henry and supporting them without expecting anything in return. He wasn’t trying to flirt with Emma, he was just there for her and that is the development I want to see between them. In the sneak peek, it just felt like too soon for Hook to try making a move on Emma, 2 or 3 episodes after 316, okay, but not the episode right after it so I am hoping there was a time jump so that we know Hook did actually give some time out of respect for Neal. One thing I will ask that I found curious last episode, Emma sarcastically asked Hook what he was going to talk to Henry about “Leather, conditioner and eyeliner?” How did Emma know Hook uses conditioner? Since leather and eyeliner clearly refer to Hook, it makes sense the conditioner does as well. [/quote]
Now, see POM, this is where you have to start thinking like our pirate!!
This scene is likely the first time Emma & Hook have seen each other since their doorway conversation at Granny’s. When Hook told Emma why it’s not a good idea to take Henry away from his family after spending the night with him. When they parted – walls up. But it had to be said, so Hook said it. Because telling Emma the truth is more important than staying in her good graces.Now, the sneak peek scene. What do Emma and Hook do after they’ve challenged each other? Go back to their comfort zone – honesty, followed by a healthy dose of flirt and snark. Ex: the scene outside Z’s farmhouse – honesty, then snark. So that’s why Hook starts with a cheesy flirtatious line. Because it’s their comfort zone. As is Emma’s response. It allows them to acknowledge that after their tense conversation the night before, they’re still good. And that’s why Emma feels ok leaving Henry with Hook, and why Hook feels he can again speak to Emma openly and honestly about her magic. It’s not really Hook ‘coming on’ to Emma – I mean, obviously she’s not there, with the kid, to…finally give in to his charms. It’s their way of saying “Are we good?” “Yeah, we’re good.”

ParticipantThis episode is shaping up to be a major character definer for Hook. It has been developing inch by inch and layer by layer. This is not some dreamed up tale of the AU of wishful thinking fandom. There is no *pandering*. There is a story on film, being played out. Romantic online notions, sensual fan fic and very creative graphics/videos aside…
Hook is alive. Emma is alive. He fought holy whatever to get to her. She trusted him enough to take that *serious* leap of faith and restore her memory….AND be caretaker of her beloved son. They have been put together by the story time and time again. The dialogue supports it, the action supports it, the filming angles even support it!!
Yet the denial can be coldly mean spirited and get thick and heavy, weighing down, in some instances, other’s attempts to enjoy the show as it is unfolding. We won’t know the “end game” until the end. But the proving ground consistently showcases an intense relationship developing between Hook and Emma.
I am thrilled.

ParticipantI agree bo. Some of the lines the writers have chosen to give Hook (even last year) OMG, he is rivaling Charming in the romantic lead department.
My secret is, I never thought I’d be capable of letting go of my first love… of my Milah… to believe that I could find someone else that is, until I met you.
But I also believe in good form. So when I win your heart, Emma…and I will win it… it will not be because of any trickery. It will be because you want me. (CS theme)
There’s not a day will go by I won’t think of you.
Hook: Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m glad to hear that.
Emma: You’re glad to hear I had my heart broken?
Hook: If it can be broken It means it still works. (CS theme)
Haters can deny all they want but if it’s still the villain, the writers would not seriously even consider giving Hook romantic lines like these. Not to mention, of the above, two of them had the CS theme played in the background which just screams, EPIC romantic connection.
And then, there’s the fact that Hook looks like this for the finale? He looks like Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice (2005).. I seriously smile like crazy whenever he says something epically romantic, and there’s extra feels whenever their theme is played.
Their theme alone, it screams hope, romance, hope for second chances, everything beautiful we can possibly imagine for our lovely ‘ship. It is perfect and I seriously have every short and long version of it on my iTunes and cannot wait for Mark Isham to officially announce the third volume of the soundtrack.
