Random Once thought
I saw a comment on Reddit about how Emma falling for Hook doesn't make sense because she was grossed out by him and then suddenly stopped. I recognize that this is someone's own opinion but I just have thoughts about this person's thoughts. Everyone has their own opinions, this is just mine.Â
Like it is true, although I wouldnât say grossed out by Killian. In the beginning, there definitely is a level of like annoyance from Emma because he is this flirty, cocky guy, and she does not want to deal with him. I think especially after she leaves him on the beanstalk. I also think some of her aloofness with him comes from the fact that he did read her immediately, and that made her uncomfortable that someone could see through her. Â
However, those feelings do dissipate into something else, which I think is highlighted in seasons 3a and 3b. Like 3a is very important for their relationship because it's where Emma initially begins to think of him as something more. Before that, he was a villain and worked with Cora, but now heâs helping her rescue her son, and she starts to see the more ârealâ Killain, not just Captain Hook. So yes, she does âsuddenly stop being grossed out by himâ because she gets to know him. This then culminates in 3b, where his intentions to win Emma's heart have already been declared, but he isnât actively pursuing her. He is there for her but stands aside for the sake of Henry. Itâs obvious he has feelings and wants Emma, but like he says, he is in it for the long haul. And that allows their relationship to develop. Then you get the end of 3b and the captain swan movie. Literally, itâs two episodes of those two trusting and leaning on each other in order to get back to the present.Â
So by then, looking back, yes, Emma is slightly annoyed and âgrossed outâ by Killian in the beginning, but that's because she doesnât know him, so when she stops it's because their relationship has grown into one of trust and respect, which ends with the kiss in 3x22 and the beginning of their relationship in season 4.Â
