Captain Swan

Finally, after long weeks, months, years of watching the show, the writers have finally given thousands of fans hope for Captain Swan (the relationship between Hook and Emma). For the sake of this post (and my heart) I'm going to refrain from talking too much about Hook's deal with Rumple  and just focus on the matter at hand (pun intended). Emma asked Hook out on a date!

Hook was just playing darts in Granny's minding his own business and taking out all of his frustrations on that green, red, and black dart board when Emma came strolling right up to him and asked him out. The scene couldn't be more cliche. Hook immediately missed the dart board and joked about the fact that he wasn't the one doing the asking before accepting. There was only one condition, he was the one to plan it. Emma had a condition as well - she wouldn't "pillage and plunder" on the first date. Way to go Emma, sticking to your values even when you are staring at the hottest man to ever come into your life!

That night, Hook showed up at the Charmings' door. Of course, Snow whipped out the camera like a proud mamma. Emma was, according to Hook, "stunning", but the real surprise came from the Captain himself. He had given up his pirate outfit and swapped it for a much more modern look that made him 1000x more attractive, if that's even possible. But wait, there's more! He handed Emma a single red rose (so romantic) with his left hand...wait....his left hand?! That's right ladies and gentlemen, Hook was hook-less. He managed to get Rumpelstiltskin to restore his hand. The only one who didn't seem too happy about Killian's new hand was Charming. The protective father was afraid what Killian could do with the added use of a second hand.

Don't worry Daddy Charming, Emma and Hook just went on the most old-school date ever - a romantic dinner at an Italian restaurant. There was a lot of hand holding, flirting, and long looks into

each other's eyes, but our dashing rapscallion kept it PG. However, I don't think I have ever seen the two happier. Except for a brush with the bandit in town, they were all-smiles the whole time. For Emma, that's almost unheard of. They seemed to have a great time and just really enjoyed being with each other. When Killian dropped Emma off at her house, it was obvious she didn't want to say good bye quite yet. However, as she pointed out, she lived with two obsessive parents, a baby, and an Ice Queen. I guess they'll just have to wait until next time. Next time? Yup, Killian asked Emma to go out again, and she accepted with the best kiss we've seen so far in the show.

Based on the preview for this week, it looks like fans are going to have to wait a little while until we get to see a second Captain Swan date, but we can wait!
