‘Once Upon a Time’ season 4 spoilers: Trouble lies ahead for Hook, Emma

Once -Based on what we saw on this past episode of “Once Upon a Time” season 4, it was pretty easy to assume that there were going to be some hard times coming for Emma Swan.

As anyone who has been watching the show as of late knows, many of the tough circumstances in her life right now, beyond of course the Snow Queen trying to destroy Storybrooke, are stemming from her complicated relationship with Captain Hook. He is completely under the spell of Rumpelstiltskin now, and if there is one thing that this probably means for Jennifer Morrison’s character, it is plenty of trouble.

Now, we’ve learned so much more about just what that could entail. According to TVLine, we are going to be seeing Emma struggle with Hook’s new state of mind tremendously … which means that these two are a few steps away from something close to a happy ending. The problem that this pirate faces is the same as many other characters, including Regina. More than likely, there is a heavy desire for him to want to do good and help others, but this is then complicated by everything else that is going on with his past coming back to haunt him.

In the end, the question that could come up for Hook is rather simple: What does he want to be defined by, his past or his present? He may not have much control over his actions right now, but eventually, we could see a tipping point.
