Timeline wise I think it could work, if Hook's father was killed by Gorgon, who was in turn killed by Zoso. Maybe Hook realizing he's going down the same path as his father is why he decides to (assuming we have speculated this right) kill himself to save everybody. Thoughts? At this point anything could happen, but it is highly unlikely that Papa Hook was a Dark One. Eddy and Adam confirmed, that Zoso was the Dark One for decades before being killed by Rumplestiltskin. Henestly, Hook probably killed his father out of anger, for being abandoned.

The best twist would be, that Hook is playing the ultimate con on everyone.... especially, the previous Dark Ones. His greatest enemy has always been the Dark One, and the scene in the Vault reminded us of that.
