Why does Underbrooke look like Storybrooke? I think that since they directly brought up the question (and done so on more than one occasion), there is an answer for why Underbrooke and Storybrooke are similar, and it is something that will be revealed when the time is right.

Why did Hook get tortured by Hades? Good question, we may get an answer next episode (The Brothers Jones) which is a Killian Centric.

Why did Hades let them go so easily? I don't think Hades let them go so easily. I think he was waiting until Rumple got involved, and then used it as an opportunity to reveal to Rumple about his hold over him (due to the Baby Contract). Hades is currently the most satisfying villain we've had.
