The Bahamas one is the only one that is really out of character. I think that Emma is going to try and help no matter what, but something is going to stop her from doing so. I think Emma being trapped somewhere is the best explanation, but I also think a possible pregnancy being a reason why she isn't in Hyperion Heights is plausible if something puts the baby in danger for some reason or other.

As far as the Clone Hook theory goes, I think that it has some merit. To me the cursed personas have never been alternate versions of the characters, they've been the same characters. I think alternate version (not necessarily in vein of what Colin said) means a version of a character that exists in a different world/universe, is from an alternate universe to the original one or is a duplicate of sorts. I think the only time that alternate versions of the characters has been done (pre-seaon 7) has been during the Book AU. If the theory is true, it would still be the Hook we know and it would allow CS to keep their happy ending. The only problem is what would happen to the clone at the end of the season. Would he die? Be reabsorbed back into original Hook? Fade from exixtence?
