I highly doubt he would have gone through with it since it (and that whole arc) was drastically OOC for him. When push came to shove, he could not go through with it. He knew Emma would not be hurt.

Also, he was (unwillingly) possessed by the Darkness. Would normal Hook have done that? Hell no. He literally had to become the Dark One to hurt them.

And he more than made up for what he did. He saved them twice in 5b (well the first was a failure because of Hades but he still chose eternal torment over condemning them).
