I am beyond confident that they will never get rid of Hook, if he ever dies it will only happen within the last few episodes of the series - the entire series, not just season 5. Hook feels like a core, endgame character now, and it's clear the writers love him. Will we see more of him? Probably. After all, he is still a series regular, he's always tagging along and he is actually featured in every episode, it seems, even when he isn't needed... Like, "Heart of Gold" did not need to feature Hook, but hey, there he was. But if you mean story-wise, yeah, I'm sure he'll be plenty busy, what with Emma turning dark, and apparently they're planning on tying him to the Camelot arc in the flashbacks (maybe Arthur is the king that sent Killian and Liam on their mission in "Good Form"?). Don't fret, chances are Hook will be in every episode of season 5 and that he'll have a good enough story. And even if he doesn't, he'll always be tagging along with the Scooby Gang.
