They have the entire season to make how many Hook centrics they want to. It looks like Jen didn't agree to be in town for the entirety of the episode's filming though. So from the start, it couldn't have been an Emma centric. They just got her to make an appearance for the viewers to say goodbye to the Emma-Henry and Emma-Hook relationships.

Now in contrast for 7x04, Emilie was in town for every day of filming. I would be disappointed if Belle didn't get a more proper farewell because the actress' time was not limited. (And it may not even be a farewell if the writers know they can leave the door open)
