This episode was an adaptation of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. Eurydice never left the Underworld, because Orpheus looked back at her. It was lack of patience and loss of faith, that condemned his wife for eternity.

If you look closely, the Underbrooke clock ticked when the portal closed. That was very likely Hook's soul either moving on, or being resurrected. Adding on to this, I like how Once twisted even their story, and instead of having Orpheus lose Eurydice, he actually manages to save her from the Underworld. Also, something to note, this arc covered all the major things in Greek Mythology that have to do with the Underworld and Hades, with the notable exception of Persephone. It makes me wonder if they are going to cover that story on the show. If they do, could it be something to do with Persephone that Zeus stopped Hades's heart over? Hopefully we find out next week.
