Emma gave into Darkness because of whom?

Emma choose to let her son go into the Underworld because of whom, for whom?

If the answer is Hook, then that's the issue. It's not because Hook is a terrible person, just that when they are together, neither gets continuously better as a result.

And Emma's not a princess because Snow's not a Queen, technically still. I didn't say that you said that Hook was a terrible person.

Emma gave into the darkness out of love but never planned to remain as the Dark One. It's the same situation as Rumple givign into the darkness for Bae.

Henry is in the UW for the plot. Jared needs screentime. Plus he's the author and got six adults with him (eight if you count Rumple and Belle).

Well she's a sub-princess? Royalty anyhow. That wasn't my point-my point was she can wear dresses and leather it doesn't make her weak.

I think Emma and Hook's relationship is beneficial for both of them. Hook got Emma to forgive her parents in s4 and worked through her fears in 3b. And he has become a better person and is still working on being better.
