Actually, it's been said that we'd see Hook's backstory in the first five episodes (how he became a pirate). 302 will be Snow centric, 303 Regina's, and 304 Rumple's. So, as I highly doubt they'll show Hook's backstory in the first episode, and now a ship captain is beeing cast for 305... And he is in the right age to be Hook's father.
