Hook (Wish Realm)

"I wouldn't get between a father and his child. [...] Because a child... That's why I'm doing all this in this first place. I'm trying to find my daughter."

- Hook (Wish Realm) to Hook

Killian Jones, better known as Captain Hook, currently known as Rogers, is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time. He débuts in the eleventh episode of the sixth season. He is portrayed by starring cast member Colin O'Donoghue, and is the Wish Realm version of Hook.

Hook is based on the character of the same name from the play Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Would Not Grow Up, and is an allusion to Flynn Rider from the Disney film Tangled.

History
{{After Third Curse| In the realm created by the Evil Queen's wish for Emma to have never been the Savior, Killian Jones and his counterpart's history are the same, up to the point when the Evil Queen casts the Dark Curse in the Enchanted Forest and her other version fails to cast it in the created realm. {{Ep|Tougher Than the Rest|A Pirate's Life}}

In anticipation of the Evil Queen casting the Dark Curse, Hook tells his crewmen to prepare for it, however, the Queen arrives to inform him that she is now unable to because Snow White and Prince Charming have taken away her magic. In exchange for ship passage out of the kingdom, she offers an alternative to killing Rumplestiltskin with a map to a witch's tower, where he can find magic capable of killing an immortal. Hook brings Smee with him to the tower, where he climbs into it alone and discovers Rapunzel inside. He asks about the witch's magic, to which Rapunzel shows him a flower that no longer has magic in it as it was used to imprison her. After she advises that a viable flower can be found in the witch's garden nearby, Hook agrees to come back for her once he has gotten it, despite Rapunzel's skepticism of him. Arriving at the garden with Smee, Hook sings a pirate's tune about rum, triggering a giant-sized gnome into attacking both men. Smee insists he try a different song, so Hook sings a few lines from a lullaby that his mother used to sing to him. This reveals the flower's location, which Hook grabs in time, causing the gnome to crumble away. He then returns to Rapunzel, who is thankful that he kept his promise to her. Hook asks about how she will use the flower to free herself, but Rapunzel gives a vague answer before seducing him into her bed. The next morning, Hook talks to Rapunzel about when they are set to leave, only to be interrupted by the sound of a crying baby. To his shock, she tells him that the child is his and then sheds her disguise to reveal herself as Gothel, the witch he was seeking. Gothel explains how she used him as well as the flower's magic to gain someone of her own bloodline, whom she intends to leave in her place so she can finally escape the tower. She assures him she left one petal for him to use, however, when Hook is reluctant to abandon the child, she reminds him that he has most likely sacrificed many lives to satisfy his revenge. Still, Hook turns her down in the end, leaving Gothel to depart alone. Hook later fulfills his deal with the Queen, but he gives his ship to Smee, deciding not to pursue his revenge anymore as he now has someone more important to look after. Returning to the tower, he sings his mother's lullaby to his infant daughter, whom he also names Alice in honor of his mother. {{Ep2|Eloise Gardener (Episode)|Eloise Gardener}}

Throughout the years, Hook often sneaks into the tower to play chess with Alice, but he is eventually caught by Gothel and she punishes him by cursing his heart, making it so that it will get poisoned if he and his daughter are too close to each other. He returns to the Wish Realm, taking his daughter's rook with him while his daughter keeps his knight. Hook also, at some point, encounters Lady Tremaine. {{S|("A Pirate's Life", "Eloise Gardener"})}}

As the years pass, Hook grows old and disheveled and begins to resemble a clumsy drunkard. One day, he hears that Princess Emma has been kidnapped and a large ransom will be rewarded by her family if she is returned to them safely. He tracks her down in the forest with Pinocchio, whom he believes is holding her captive, before attempting a daring rescue, but Emma attempts to dissuade him from it. Instead, Hook grabs one of Pinocchio's belongings, stumbling for a moment about what to call the strange object, to which Pinocchio awkwardly points out to him that it's a chisel. Before the pirate can be anything else though, Emma knocks him unconscious, making him drop the chisel, and then teleports him back to his ship. }}

Production Notes

 * According to Colin O'Donoghue, the older version of Wish Hook is one of his favorite versions of Hook to play.
 * It takes approximately three hours to do Wish Hook's makeup.
 * Wish Hook became a storytelling device for Season Seven because Jennifer Morrison left the show after Season Six, and the writers felt that separating Emma and Hook, whether it was for the season or forever, was not what the audience deserved. They discussed the various options and ramifications, and felt that allowing Wish Hook into the new story gave them the ability to explore the character in different ways.
 * Colin O'Donoghue said that Rogers feels "a sense of loss, and he doesn't know what it is, what's missing".

Props Notes

 * According to Colin O'Donoghue, Rogers' prosthetic hand enables him to move his fingers but it does not have complete mobility to make a fist. They tried to use a flesh colored glove to simulate a prosthetic hand, but it looked too weird.
