We are still in
Neverland and Henry is feeling more and more like a lost boy, the gang realise
that this is going to be the case and set about trying to get a message to him.
They hope to trick one of the lost boys and use him to give Henry a message
that they are coming to rescue him.
This week it is all
about Hook and we see a little into his past with his brother. He is flirting
diabolically with Emma, but she is having none of it and even David/Charming
warns him off his daughter. In his past we see Hook as Lieutenant Jones, with
his brother the Captain setting off on a quest for the king to Neverland in
order to retrieve ‘the world’s greatest medicine’ (I.e. Dreamshade) of course
we as the audience know that it is in fact deadly. Upon arrival they run into
Peter Pan who informs them of this, Hook’s brother does not believe this to be
the case and they carry on with their quest.
In present day,
David/Charming is succumbing to the poison of the Dreamshade, Hook tricks him
into believing there is a sexton at the top of dead man’s peak that will
decipher Neil’s star map and they set off together with David/Charming saying
his goodbyes to the girls unknowingly to them. He also acknowledges that Hook
is only here to save Henry for Emma. They bond on their journey as Hook tells
David/Charming of his brother. Pan offers Hook a deal that if he comes back to
work for him he will give him and Emma passage off the island, at a price...he
has to kill David/Charming.
The girls are
focused on getting Henry the message, the lost boy they capture is not willing
to give it easily and so they are resorted to using Regina. She takes the boys
heart in order to control him and gives him a mirror that will be able to show
them Henry. Mary Margaret/Snow white is upset that Emma has allowed Regina to
do this. But Regina argues that she is there to make the tough decisions and
Emma is still good at heart.
Back in the past,
Hook is convinced that Pan is telling the truth about the Dreamshade but his
brother does not believe that the king would betray him like that as it could
be used as a deadly weapon. In order to prove this to his brother he cuts himself
and dies. Hook is undoubtedly distraught and asks Pan for help. The only cure
is to drink the spring water he tells Hook, but there is always a balance with
magic. As soon as Hook and his brother leave Neverland his brother dies, the
magic only lasts on the island.
Hook’s brother dies
as soon as he leaves the island. Hook offers David/Charming the deal, that if
he drinks the water he can never leave Neverland. He asks why Hook would risk it
for it, he said he didn't do it for David (i.e. Emma)
Back in the present,
Hook offers David/Charming the same choice he can drink from the water and live
but he can never leave the island, or die. He chooses the first option and they
return to the girls, David/Charming tells them about how Hook saved his life,
but not the truth. Emma thanks Hook and they kiss, however she tells him that
it will be a one time thing.
Hook buries his
brother at sea, and becomes captain. Hook destroys the Pegasus sail so that no
one can fly back to Neverland and starts the rebellion against the king by
becoming a pirate and renames the boat The Jolly Roger.
In the end Pan tells
Hook that Neil is still alive and is on the island. He leaves it up to Hook to
either tell Emma or not.
Final Thoughts:
Who is in the other
cage with Neil
Everyone drank from
the rum bottle Pan gave Hook, except Regina. I expect this may become
significant.
There are so many
different story avenues it just keeps getting better.
How will Snow White
cope with Charming having to stay in Neverland
Where is Rumple?
Will Hook tell Emma
about Neil? I’m really enjoying the relationship blossoming between Hook and
Emma but Neil is her soul mate so I don’t know whether I want him to tell her
or not.
