I mean, we don't know what the second Hook is up to, but with the rest of the description -- present-day focus on Cindy, Victoria, and Lucy; Henry fighting Tremaine; etc. -- it seems like a plot point that's out of place. I'll hold off until the episode comes out to make a final judgment, but right now I'm feeling like this would have been better if it was a Henry/Emma-centric with Hook having a relatively large role just to give Captain Swan fans some closure. Well, like you kinda said, we don't know what they're going to be leading up to in this episode. And 7x01 was an intro to everyone, so they can really jump off anywhere. (Starting with a veteran centric might've been a good viewership retention decision) Looking back at the set spoilers we got, Colin filmed almost all days, and there's also quite a bit of Henry.

I think the Jacinda/Lucy part will probably end up being more of a C-plot.
