I think it's fairly taken by both Hook and Regina (depends on which of them is more relevant to the arc). It's like the writers are allergic to put Snow and David with Emma, even though they need to be in 4b and 5a.

4A shows that Henry harbors a disdain for Hook. The SoSS simply reveals the worst things kept inside the person. At best, otherwise, it was never explained away. I think Henry has always had a decent relationship with Hook, but half of this bonding happens offscreen. I'll have to revisit that moment when Henry pushes Emma towards because I don't recall it, even so, I took that as Henry wanting Emma to be happy. (Maybe, just maybe, there should be more scenes between Emma and Hook that include Henry.)

If you ask me currently, I think their relationship is fine. Weirdly paced, devoid of some key moments, but fine
