Here’s a tweet from Kalinda Vazquez, who wrote Into the Deep, which suggests there’s more to the story between Hook and Emma:

I’ve just realised that Hook has to double cross Cora and help Emma. Because Emma, Snow and the others were locked in the cell in the promo. And in the first episode, one of the guards said that the cell was made of something that not even Rumple could escape. So the only way for Emma to escape the cell, which she obviously does, someone would have to let her out and i’m guessing it would be Hook. And i don’t think Emma could simply pick the lock because the cell was specifically made for Rumple so no magic or picking the lock could open the cell.
And i have another idea, but this is a bit farfetched. Maybe when Hook helps Emma, they don’t show that Hook is helping her until the end, which could be one of the cliffhangers. Like they did with Auroras heart- they didn’t show that he took her heart until the end of the episode.
The writers have been saying that things may ‘not be as they seem’ with Emma and Hook- so maybe this is what they’re talking about, Hook double crossing Cora.
So hopefully Cora wont make it to SB if this happens.What do you think? Do you think this is possible?
Yeah, I think that’s very possible. If you listen to the latest official ABC podcast for 2×8, Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis said that Captain Hook really meant what he said to Emma and was really hurt by Emma’s betrayal in 2×6. While they said that Hook is a man who finds it difficult to forgive, I have a feeling that he ultimately will forgive Emma. I think Hook really fancies Emma, so he’ll be more sympathetic. He could just be placating Cora so that she doesn’t kill him or leave him behind, but I highly doubt he favors working with Cora over Emma. Also, it’s unclear how exactly Hook came by Aurora’s enchanted heart since he’s not a magician as far as we know. I doubt he want to kill Aurora though, and hopefully, he wants her to survive. One theory I read is that Maleficent might have taken Aurora’s heart when she was under the sleeping curse, but Hook somehow acquired the heart. Also I read this interesting article which might have some hints about what is in store for SwanHook: http://www.wetpaint.com/once-upon-a-time/articles/once-upon-a-time-season-2-emma-and-captain-hook-are-kindred-spirits

There’s no way to fake true love’s kiss since Rumpel has said that true love is the most powerful magic of all. That’s a core tenant of the show, and for the creators to change it would be next to OUAT heresy. After Prince Charming’s plan to “soul kiss” Snow failed, he must experience a true love’s kiss in person to wake up. I think legit Snow must return to SB to awaken her prince since it so nicely parallels Charming kissing Snow. The only exception might be if Henry kisses his grandfather, but I think Snow is the key. The kiss of true love is the ultimate litmus test for any impostor so only legit Snow could awaken her Prince Charming, not Cora disguised as Snow. Also, I highly doubt the Charming family reunion is merely a dream sequence. I posted this elsewhere, but there have been hints from the core cast that point to the return of legit Snow and Emma:
HENRY: “I think in a way he’s like ‘Oh, that would be sort of cool,’ but in another way he’s sort of like ‘But everyone just got back here’…so I think he’s on-board in a way, but he’s not in another way. And also, he read the book, and he knows what the land is like in the book, but since the curse happened, as you’ve seen in the show, the land’s become very barren and deserted and evil,” Jared Gilmore said.
DAVID/PRINCE CHARMING: “I think David wants to get back to their kingdom—the kingdom that they fought for; the kingdom that they love; the kingdom that is their home. And Mary Margaret maybe might think a bit differently…‘Fairytale land is not as you remember it’, and the way he feels is then all the more reason to return there and make it right and make it better—make it better than it was,” Dallas said.
EMMA: “There is definitely a sense that Emma and Mary Margaret have experienced what I call post-apocalyptic fairytale land, and David has not. Even though it has been explained to him, and he’s heard the stories, it’s just different to hear about it than to be in it. For Emma and Mary Margaret, it’s very real, the state [fairytale land] is in. The dangers are very real, and the struggles are very real because they just survived it,” Jennifer Morrison said.

Of course, Charming is trying to get them back. I think I can be pretty confident in saying that he will find a way to get them back into Storybrooke and into their life, but then it’s about how they move on with their relationship,” Dallas says. “They’ve been apart for 28 years basically, so it’s about them rediscovering each other again and whether or not they want to stay in Storybrooke. Charming wants to go back, I think. He wants to go back to Fairy Tale Land, back to their kingdom, the one that they fought for, the one that they love.” http://uk.eonline.com/news/363852/once-upon-a-time-s-josh-dallas-teases-snow-and-charming-s-reunion-shares-on-finding-love-with-ginnifer-goodwin?cmpid=sn-000000-twitterfeed-365-kristin&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=twitterfeed_kristin&dlvrit=513

So, does Hook carry about evil pixie dust in a sachet? Did he become a wizard? Can just anyone learn dark magic? It seems like if magic were that easy to come by, a lot more people would try to use it than we’ve yet seen. I read an alternative theory that Maleficent might have removed Aurora’s heart and Hook somehow acquired it, perhaps in a deal or by force.

Examiner: The Cast Considers Going back to FTL
LA TV Insider Examiner was on set in Vancouver* to get a sense of where characters like Charming (Dallas), Regina (Lana Parrilla), Rumple (Robert Carlyle), and Belle’s (Emilie de Ravin) heads were at.- DAVID/PRINCE CHARMING: “I think David wants to get back to their kingdom—the kingdom that they fought for; the kingdom that they love; the kingdom that is their home. And Mary Margaret maybe might think a bit differently…‘Fairytale land is not as you remember it’, and the way he feels is then all the more reason to return there and make it right and make it better—make it better than it was,” Dallas said.
- EMMA: “There is definitely a sense that Emma and Mary Margaret have experienced what I call post-apocalyptic fairytale land, and David has not. Even though it has been explained to him, and he’s heard the stories, it’s just different to hear about it than to be in it. For Emma and Mary Margaret, it’s very real, the state [fairytale land] is in. The dangers are very real, and the struggles are very real because they just survived it,” Jennifer Morrison said.
- REGINA/THE QUEEN: “My gut instinct with Regina is she has zero interest in returning. What is there for her? Everyone hates her. Everyone knows who she is; why would she want to go back to a place where she’s pretty much been exiled? I mean, she did it to herself, but she would be if she went back. To me, it just seems pointless. I think Regina just has to carry on—or if she’s forced to go back there at some point because of Henry, I think she would go,” Parrilla said.
- RUMPLE/MR.GOLD: “I think he’d probably see, in his mind’s eye, nirvana for him with Belle, Bay, a castle, power—enough to take care of the kids—and be quite happy,” Carlyle said.
- BELLE: “Belle hasn’t really discussed [going back]. You know, I don’t think she would if it was a threat to their relationship. If he was going to become somewhat more evil—for whatever reason—going back, there’s no way she would. But, on the other hand, it’s more familiar to her, obviously, than Storybrooke,” de Ravin said.
- HENRY: “I think in a way he’s like ‘Oh, that would be sort of cool,’ but in another way he’s sort of like ‘But everyone just got back here’…so I think he’s on-board in a way, but he’s not in another way. And also, he read the book, and he knows what the land is like in the book, but since the curse happened, as you’ve seen in the show, the land’s become very barren and deserted and evil,” Jared Gilmore said.

The thing is though, and I posted this in another thread too, that photo of them walking down the street looks like it happens right after they come through a portal and are freshly reunited, which means all the people in the pic were likely at said portal, which means Charming was already awake before Snow got there if he’s out wandering around town in his jacket already and was there to meet her. If that does turn out to be the case, then imposters or not, Charming somehow wakes up before Snow and Emma arrive.
The only way for Charming to wake up is if he has true love’s kiss face to face, and I think the only alternative to Snow kissing him might just be Henry’s true love kiss for his grandfather. However, I still think Snow is going to be the key, since it’s a very nice symmetry to when Charming awakened Snow. The gathering of people could be after Snow returns and successfully kisses Prince Charming awake, which would explain the joy-filled reunion. The seven dwarves likely hear about Charming being under the sleeping curse and they come to witness Snow kiss Charming awake, just like they were present when Charming kissed Snow awake.
I also just read an article in which the actors talk about whether their characters want to go back to EF. Jared, Josh, and Jennifer all speak as if Snow and Emma have just returned to SB and then told Henry and Charming all about present-day EF.
HENRY: “I think in a way he’s like ‘Oh, that would be sort of cool,’ but in another way he’s sort of like ‘But everyone just got back here’…so I think he’s on-board in a way, but he’s not in another way.

We do know that Archie will be in trouble in episode 10, and that seems like such a Cora thing to do going after Archie, the only person that Regina can go to open up to right now, to get back at her daughter. I don’t know if she’ll pretend to be Regina or perhaps someone else in that episode, but if she wanted to inflict the most damage to Regina, she pretends to be her to get rid of Archie in someway making sure that she’s seen as Regina that way the whole town goes against her again especially Henry. He’s probably already going to be a little bit mad that she apparently curses Emma the moment Emma arrives back into town, but if he thinks she killed Archie or played some part in hurting him, since I don’t know if they’ll actually kill off Archie, they’re relationship is going to be even worse than before. Sure Regina has been good so far about not using magic, but if she’s in a worse spot before with Henry knowing that she’s really innocent, and getting to see Henry with the Charmings, is just going to send her over the edge again.
Oh, I just had a crazy idea! What if Cora arrives in SB, impersonates Archie, and counsels Regina into using magic again, but this time to oppose Mr. Gold?! Cora could stash Archie somewhere, pretend to be him, and unleash a lot of evil as a small-town shrink. Poor Archie. 😕

This impostors theory is pretty interesting, and it would make for one hell of a cliff hanger if we saw Emma and Snow back, reunion, everyone happy, and then– cut to Emma and Snow still in FTL! Lol Although I think it’s very unlikely now, after seeing Into The Deep. Charming is under the Sleeping Curse, and the first thing Snow will want to do is wake him up, so any Snow coming through that doesn’t want to do that ASAP, or kisses him and it doesn’t work, would immediately be very suspicious.
What do you guys think?
After seeing Into the Deep, I think the real Snow White and Emma will return to SB very soon. As JJ wrote, any importer pretending to be Snow would be unable to awaken Charming, since it wouldn’t be true love’s kiss; it’s the ultimate litmus test for true identity. Since Charming’s plan to kiss Snow in the netherworld failed, the only alternative is for Snow to be physically present in SB to kiss her husband. The writers most certainly won’t keep Prince Charming in another comma for too long like in the first part of S1; he’s too important a character. The BTS pictures for 2×10 show Snow and Charming reunited, together with Henry and Emma. I hope this is a real family reunion and that Snow made it back to kiss Charming awake.

In addition to Snow’s connection with birds, in the pilot Prince Charming mentioned that the animals of the forest were abuzz with news about the dark curse. It seems like talking animals might be more common in the EF than we perhaps realized. Jiminy Cricket could communicate with people. Now, it seems like Billy/Gus the mouse might have been able to communicate with Cinderella in the EF.
Also, in the cartoon version of Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent had a pet crow who was also an evil spy. Crows are typically portrayed as bad omens in folklore and fairytales. Cora using a crow as a messenger is fitting. I also recall hearing or seeing crows in the second episode of S1 when Regina was creating the dark curse.
