I'm thinking that maybe Killian was lying about what happened with him and his father. I have a theory where Mr. Jones (that's what I'm callin' him now) tried to cheer Killian up after his mother's tragic death or something, and they go sailing. A huge storm comes, there's only one spot on the lifeboat left, and since the lifeboat can't hold any more people than just one more or it'll practically burst, Mr. Jones shows his true colors and leaves Killian behind. Ursula then pities Killian and saves him from the storm, *add in storyline here*, Killian returns home to Liam and they basically become the first version of Ava and Nicholas Zimmer.

And the reason for Killian lying about Mr. Jones' departure from the family is simple. He would much rather have people think that his father was some cool fugitive who stole the King's crown jewels than the moron who abandoned him on a ship in the middle of a raging storm.

And that's what I think Killian's connection to TQOD is.
