`` the crocodile ''
emma and hook arrive at granny's diner together, with both of them telling a concerned david and mary margaret that they were fine, despite emma's change in appearance, and with hook adding that he "didn't look like a crocodile just yet." the others tell them that they can finally continue their quest to destroy the darkness, with hook volunteering to get merlin from the diner. as merlin was finishing the message that would be later be received in storybrooke, hook appears and locks the doors, revealing that he planned to cast another dark curse in order to get his revenge on gold. merlin says that this is impossible, since he would have to crush the heart of "the thing they love most" to enact it, and hook would never kill emma. hook then takes merlin’s heart, and the manifestation of rumplestiltskin morphs into one of nimue, who appears to see hook crush the heart. just then, emma enters, devastated to find out that hook has tricked her. hook says that he had always planned to get his revenge on gold, and adds that no one will ever control him again, before sending excalibur back into the stone to ensure this. when emma asks nimue why she was helping hook, nimue reveals that hook had made a deal with her: the darkness would ensure hook vengeance on gold while hook in turn would help the darkness snuff out the light, which devastates emma. nimue goes on to explain that when hook crushes merlin's heart, it also counts as her crushing his heart, since she is "in all the dark ones," which will allow hook's curse to work. emma tries desperately to convince hook to stop, telling him that he doesn't need revenge, and that his happy ending was with her. she warns hook that if he crushes merlin's heart, he will destroy his happy ending. however, hook states that it was her "lovesick puppy dog" "killian jones" who had fallen in love with her, claiming that his former self was killed when she "turned him into a dark one." then, he suddenly crushes merlin’s heart in his hand, to enact the curse. when merlin dies, emma tells merlin that she was sorry, before dissolving his body and telling him to rest in peace. unable to stop the curse, a heartbroken emma knocks hook out, before using a dreamcatcher to erase hook's memories, to prevent him from remembering why he cast the curse. then, at the behest of the manifestation of rumplestiltskin, emma brings her parents, henry, regina, robin, belle, their friends and zelena (whom she reinstalled the magic-inhibiting cuff on) back to granny's diner in an unconscious state, before using the dreamcatcher to erase all of their memories, and to add a forgetting spell to the curse, to keep hook from ever finding out that he was a dark one. meanwhile, in camelot, arthur is shocked to find excalibur's fragment returned to the stone, and guinevere points out the cloud of the curse, which arthur describes as "extremely dark magic." then, merida (who was riding her way back to camelot to fight arthur), arthur, and guinevere look on as the purple cloud of the dark curse engulfs camelot and part of the enchanted forest.
broken heart (once upon a time)
on board the jolly roger, a young killian is consoled by his father, brennan, who promised his son that he would become the person that he was meant to be, only to suddenly abandon him and his brother, as he sold his sons into servitude, because brennan was a wanted man and the ship was stolen. years later in the enchanted forest, regina recruits hook to kill cora, and takes hook to a tavern, where she requires hook to kill his father, who is now the tavern's owner. after the tavern closes, hook confronts brennan, who explains that his attempt to flee the law failed and was put under a sleeping curse as punishment; brennan fell in love with the sound of his nurse's voice and she with him, allowing a kiss to wake him. they married, but she died soon after having their son, who was named after liam, to honor his memory. believed that brennan has changed, hook has to make it look like he had his father killed, so he can help his father and liam escape. when hook follows brennan back to his home, he watches him with liam, and witnesses his father tells liam the same things he told hook when he was little, which makes hook very enraged, thinking that his father lied about having changed. when brennan goes outside to meet hook, he takes back his offer, and despite brennan's insistence that he had changed, hook kills brennan, making hook the person he is now. as brennan dies, however, he tells hook that it's never too late to change, to become a better man.
