My thoughts:

1. Hook reverting is not surprising in the least, despite the surprising context, nor is him going after Rumple. Just last season, the guy did it because Rumple told him there was a chance he would when his hand was restored. No magic involved, just a suggestion. The fact that Hook's response was to laugh this off and boast about his reform makes the  result even more sad. As for the Rumple thing, that was always Hook's character flaw: take his pain out on someone else.

2. Really hope Merlin's alive.
