5. Hook still continues on being a liar. He is still left lying about what he did to Ariel, he lied to David for the murder of his father (the man who proved to be better than his killer would ever be), and the last we saw him, he lied to Henry about what really happened to Emma (much to Regina's disapproval). And since Adam's hint, most likely we would learn what really happened to Emma and quite possibly that Emma in the NEF is not really her (but might be one of the witches or Gothel in disguise). He did not even show regrets for what he did to Merlin. H No, Hook did not lie about Ariel. He told Emma that he did not help her, that it was Ariel. It is not his fault Emma did not believe him and telling her everything would have resulted in Henry's death.

And re: season 7, we see that Emma wanted Hook to lie to Henry. I mean it's not like Hook murdered Emma and lied about it. Most likely Hook advised Emma rest and then Emma told him not to tell Henry.

What was Adam's hint? I need to know this.

Hook said in 5x11 "If anyone deserves to go to the UW it's me" and expresses iimense disgust of himself in 5x15 over what he did as the Dark One.

Also while lying is indeed bad it does not make you a villain or a sociopath.
