This was the weekest episode in 5B.

A few points:

While I'm glad that Emma was blamed for being selfish. I wish it came from other characters and I don't feel like it was portrayed as something serious that she needs to learn from, basically it was used as a "clue" that something is wrong with Liam and not as observing some kind of flaw with Emma. By the end of the episode, Emma didn't learn anything or didn't grow as a character.

In addition, while I agrre that Emma has become selfish, I still think that she is too good for a murdering jerk who still keeps things from his victims. I really don't get why they need to portray Hook as a martyr, he is not a martyr, he has done horrible despicable things, stop whitewash him. It's as if they are insecure about what the viewers think about him so they have to shove what a great guy he is down our throat.

Moreover, the excuse of Hook doing all those horrible things because Emma pissed him off is not acceptable. This is yet again a depiction of the battered wife syndrom.
