It is not that big an obstacle, as Emma knows how much Hook hates Mr. Gold. That rivalry was not going to go away overnight. Besides, Gold is the only villian not making an effort, to change. Hook and Regina still have their issues, but have both mellowed quite a lot. Blackmail is nothing compared, to what Season 2!Hook would have done.
