- How did he do it?

- Changing the past?

- When did he get to do it, seeing that Hook is currently cursed and not much time has past?

- It seems excessive. Why would Hook travel back in time to say "Emma, your preggers. Go home!"

- If the ending is suppose to be passing the torch, leaving Emma to go off to maintain her happiness, I can't see time travelling Hook to be the best or only way for that message to get across.

Key reason is that it's a bit much. They set up a macguffin that could relate to the second Hook. Message Hook seems to appear that night that Regina and Hook save Henry. So....

In SB...

Henry gets moody. Hook gives Emma the magic "Message in the bottle", where you say the name of your favorite pirate and whisper your message."

In NEF.....

Henry gets captured and imprisoned in the Tremaine Estate. Henry summons help. REgina comes rushing in, blasting people left and right. Hook covers her. Everybody heads to Henry's home. Hook goes for a walk in-town. Message Hook and Hook tussle. Hook goes all Batman with "Where is she? Why did you say that name?"

Daytime, Emma comes to visit Henry. Secrets out! Emma misses Henry (and is pregnant)! Emma goes back home, message fulfilled. Regina did magic on the shoe to find Cinderella (which ties into the next episode).

I can be totally wrong, but this is how I think it will play out. This is the way I see the Future Killian Theory working:

Killian is cursed. He goes through all the Hyperion Heights stuff and is uncursed. Upon becoming uncursed, he goes to find Emma, but is unable to for some reason. So he figures out a way to travel back in time to before he was cursed and runs into the past version of himself. Then he tells the past version of himself and Past Emma what is going to happen and that the future must stay in tact for some reason. Future Killian and Past Emma go home to Storybrooke while Past Killian is cursed and eventually becomes Future Killian. I think that Emma's pregnancy could be one of the reasons she goes home. Not because she's pregnant, but because her child is somehow important to what happens in the future and Emma can't be cursed in order for whatever needs to happen, happen.
