#bested by emma

hey guys, check out this ridiculously cute guy in a hospital bed

Emma and Hook have a full-on, knock-down, drag-out fight on the shores of Lake Nostos, complete with swordplay, kicking, disarmings, body slams, and all kinds of good stuff.

Convinced Killian’s lying about who he is and what he’s after, Emma has Mulan tie him to a tree and brings their location to the attention of some nearby ogres with a shrill whistle. The four ladies then gather their things and set off, forcing Killian to choose between coming clean or taking his chances with the ogre.

“Good for you! You bested me. I can count the amount of people who've done that on one hand!” You, sir, are a liar. It has taken me an entire blog to count the people who have bested you in one way or another, and I’m certain I have only skimmed the surface of your misadventures.

Mary Margaret isn’t too happy about having to untie the pirate traveling with them, but it’s a necessary evil if he’s to help them get the golden compass atop the beanstalk. Killian, however, is pleased as punch with this development. “Thank you, Milady,” he says with a saucy wink.

There’s no way he could be faking this! Much fear. Very blacksmith.

Running short on time before some nasty ogres arrive, Emma holds a knife at Killian’s throat and asks him one question: “Why does Captain Hook want to go to Storybrooke?” Why, it’s to exact revenge on the man who stole his hand, of course: Rumplestiltskin.

IMPORTANT SCENE SEGUE RIGHT HERE, GUYS.
