Bringing over from TWOP:
Would Hook attempt to take himself out of the equation in the heat of the showdown over Henry by, maybe, impaling himself in the heart with his hook? If he died, would that break the Kiss Curse? There was that very obvious camera cut-away to Hook at the "resilient heart" line, and we know that Hook and Dr. Whale share a scene in the next ep. Emma could magic or TLK him back, and Whale could be, "No ill effects of being impaled in the heart! No ill effects of ghost possession! Nobody eats my Jello! Why am I needed in this town, anyway?" Somehow, I feel like they're not going to give us a TLK with him and Emma yet. They've been doing the slow build with them, as opposed to the Regina/Robin insta-romance. They may want to save it for next season. Or, you know, he could just get conked on the head and be reintroduced to his floor OTP. Dammit, I feel an urge to write a CS fanfic about this now. I haven't shipped a damn TV couple since Logan and Veronica. We're talking 2007, people!
