It makes a lot more sense that he would step in to try and help her, particularly since it was in front of Emma and he tends to like to look like a good guy for Emma. Hook offering to help Belle find a place to stay, has nothing to do with impressing Emma. It has to do with Hook and Belle actually being friends. Which is a joke because he shot her purposefully with the intention of killing her. Hook actually was relatively decent compared to the others, which is the usual "Hook is better than the heroes" crap we get from the writers. I highly doubt that the writers think that. It's a follow-up from their offscreen bonding in 4b. Hook being decent to Belle isn't beyond his character as anything he did to her didn't deal with her. Hook is literally the only core character that ever talked to Belle one-on-one in seasons.
