She, the orphan who we saw steal food to eat? She who has been locked up to a crime that she didn't commit? That is how you going to treat a guy. A guy that has been assaulted by Hook and who threatened Will to not say anything. And we can't blame that on "The Dark One" either.

Also, she didn't lock Hook up after shooting Belle (he got shot). And also thinking it cool to allow said person to stay with a guy several times to protect her???

Oh, sometimes she forgets she has a son that she has true love with. Really, being with Hook has not done one thing positive for her.

And I refuse to accept the narrative that Emma Swan was fundmentally broken woman that wears leather to protect herself, and only a noble pirate can break her walls to love and for Emma wear white virginal dresses that don't fit Emma "bailbondsperson" Swan because that's the "real" her. Emma has been shown to be morally grey to people who irritate her in the past. In the pilot, she slammed a man's head onto a steering wheel for pushing her buttons.

And she did-she handcuffed him to a hospital bed (which he needed because he broke his ribs) and then proceeded to torture him.

She does not forget about Henry- in fact she does the opposite. She asked Henry if he were okay with her and Killian, made sure they got along, apologised for not being able to help him, was horrified when she accidentally hurt Henry, was incredibly guilty over using Violet to hurt him and was ready to kill Hook to save him.

It was not only Hook who broke down her walls-Henry did too. Hook broke down her romantic-walls and Henry her familial ones.

Lastly, Emma is both a princess and a bailbondsperson. She wears leather and dresses.
